    My biggest problem with Zed right now is the font rendering doesn't look that good on MacOS. To me Sublime Text always had the best font rendering on Mac. Electron slowly over the …

    Here we go again. Autopilot != FSD. Autopilot is not "autonomous" driving. It's lane keep with adaptive cruise control. The same system that Honda, Toyota, etc have. Yes the naming…

    I had bleeding, light red, most likely from hemorrhoids (it was), but had a few other factors that the doctor took it seriously. The insurance didn't cover much as far as I know (o…

    Yea good point. My doctor said he would see a non sedated like once every 2 weeks or so. Would be better to go to one that does it more frequently.

    Yea most of the time it was discomfort but the turns were pretty high up there in pain. But that was only 3 times.

    North Carolina. And I wasn't actually aware that some doctors wouldn't do until after I had it done (reading about it online). I just called before my appointment to say I didn't n…

    They need to lower the screening to 40. I just had mine at 40, turned out fine luckily. Did it without sedation which my doctor said was rare in US, but common outside of US. I fou…

    Ok that's different then. LLM, by definition, can't be AGI. But AGI can be AGI with another technology.

    AGI? My guy, it's a text predictor slot machine. Very useful tool but will never be AGI.

    Because people think it's "intelligent" because it's manipulating words and you get people like Andrew Yang and Elon Musk getting one-shotted by it. Yes, it can solve a lot of thin…

    At worst, this would only be temporary. Yes, it will cause hardship, but once it trickles down to regular companies, that an LLM is a word predictor, workers will be back. Seems An…

    Yes, but it's much worse than that because it makes multiple workspaces essentially unusable. Try them on Windows or any Linux desktop. When a window is also an application it make…

    Mac has always had horrible window management. Made worse because applications and windows are a separate concept. Used to seem clever but in the world of multiple workspaces it's …

    It's not temporary though. The Covid vaccine push has caused an entire generation to now doubt simple life-saving vaccines. They erased a century of goodwill.

    Comment #46969812

    To be fair, a lot of doctors were sounding the alarm in 2021 that forcing the Covid shot was going to cause blow back. They said word for word, that we might see the rise of measle…

    Then why is the site slower than it was in 2012 on a 2009 Macbook?

    It's not so much the writing of the code (which I did like), it's the aesthetic of the code. It's solving a problem with the right code and the right amount of code (for now). That…

    My car has driven me back and forth with no issues for 6 months now. But yes it's been a long time coming.

    What infrastructure has gone through the last 15 years would like a word. Half the people I work with can't do imperative jQuery interfaces. So what I guess. I can't code assembly.…

    If the camera is covered or blocked, you can't drive plain and simple, as you can't drive a car (at least on Earth) with just Lidar. The roads are made for eyes. Maybe on Rocky's h…

    Lidar is a moot point. You can't drive with just Lidar, no matter what. That's what people don't understand. The most common one I hear: "What if the camera gets mud on it", ok the…
