When I heared that Zed is VC backed, it was a signal to move away from it. Emacs, NeoVim will be here in fifty years from now. VC backed companies don’t have a guarantee. VCs except too much, and pressure founders to pivot if they don’t seem to fulfill the promise for 20x return. See what happened to Evernote. Or SoundCloud.

The company is VC backed. Why would the software disappear though? It’s open source, so it can survive even if the company doesn’t

You have the ability to search Google Scholar, I'm quite sure of it

I found nothing. Could you share the links you found, or are you lying

At the same time, prompt/context engineering makes them better, so it matters more than zero

Imho calling this engineering would be an insult to advertise engineers.

GNOME 3 is the best desktop UI I've ever used, and I've used MacOS 9 all the way to Sonoma, and Windows 3.1 all the way to 10. Critical point is that stock GNOME 3 is really terrible. Canonical has a plugin which provides an app launcher. This is the missing piece which makes GNOME 3 amazing. Using JavaScript will make developing bug-free software more difficult as the codebase scales though, it will make development slower and also slow down the code. That is absolutely a mistake. Not sure how much is JS currently; at least some it is. But I never have to look at the code because it just works. I'm on Ubuntu 22 LTS though, not sure about newer GNOME versions.

Curiously, I too prefer Gnome 3, but with at least one extension - hot edge to make moving to the bottom edge of the screen show the overview, and thus the launcher.

Yes, the brand is Tesla. They receive money from other brands to buy fake "carbon" credits, they receive money from the state and from their shareholders.

So US pays for Tesla like China does for some brands. It's the same.

And an electric car is not an alternative for gas cars. A zero km electric car has already tons and tons of CO2 on it's back because mostly of the battery.

It's not being "green". It's just make polution to be produced in another location.

So you prefer to have locally sourced pollution then?

saturn_vk commented on Bulgaria to Adopt the Euro   euronews.com/business/202... · Posted by u/geox

If opposition to the Euro is so massive, can't they simply hold a referendum over it?
saturn_vk · 2 months ago
The Bulgarian currency has been pegged to the Deutsche Mark for more than twenty years now. This means that we’ve pretty much been using the euro since its inception, and any opposition is just a populist manoeuvring

Ugh. OpenAPI: just say "no". It's WAY too verbose, and there are usually many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

Protobuf-based APIs are much nicer to work with. Either via gRPC, or via ConnectRPC.

I remember twirp being quite nice, too. Especially since it would also handle json from the same proto file.

"The Richat Structure is the result of natural geological processes." - this is irrelevant

"Other than having concentric circles, it doesn't match Plato's description of Atlantis" - in what way? Be specific.

"and there is no evidence that any large city was ever there." - lol, there has never been a thorough archeological survey, and the surveys that have been done have turned up evidence that points to noteworthy human activity. What about the tens of thousands of axe heads found all concentrated in one spot?

Assuming that the city was destroyed in a significant flood, we need to assume the evidence will be hard to find, and therefore we have to look hard for it before we can say it's not there.

I think OP mentions this due to your mention of meteor impacts

> What about the tens of thousands of axe heads found all concentrated in one spot?

According to Wikipedia, Stone Age axes. It seems reasonable to believe that the site provided easy access for material

yup keep it simple. hybrid search on supabase with keyword + pg vector. use a good embedding model with inner product (not cosine so its faster). there was a good article about learnings in this space recently here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43299659

Do you have recommendations for embedding models?

if I had to use Go I’d change my career and go do some gardening :)

Because it's so easy that you'd have a lot more time for gardening?
