Originally, in the days of text-mode forms, overwrite was the default, because that made more sense for fixed-length input fields.

I use it quite regularly in text editors, in particular when authoring something with two-dimensional layout (simple diagrams, folder-like line trees), and occasionally for the CUA Cut & Paste shortcuts (e.g. in terminal emulators). The

The article states “Insert (now gone) and Delete (still with us)”. Since the Delete symbol pictured is long gone, it seems reasonable to conclude that the author meant the keys here, not the symbols.

This is based on the eponymous video series that Sean Carroll published on his channel during the pandemic (playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3j... ). He since has written an in-depth three-

Distilled models are worse than the original, so you can’t fully compete. Also, if all frontier labs did that, there would be nothing left to distill from.

He still thought in terms of what the actual code would need to be, at that level of precision, and also wrote pseudo-code.

That’s right, but power efficiency is an important factor, one of the main points where Intel is lagging behind ARM. And it’s also correct to point out that the main issue for end users is software, even if hardware designers can’t do much

Depending on one’s computational upbringing, it is exactly _that_ KVM. (I agree that they should spell it out on the website.)

I use Aten KVM switches too, but they are a different type of product. JetKVM is for remote KVM access, not for switching between multiple computers. Both are orthogonal to each other. You can in principle combine a JetKVM with a KVM switc

I’m a big fan of checked exceptions, which are niche in the sense that only Java has them (at least among popular programming languages). However, Java lacks the ability to parameterize code over sets of exception types, which places limita

Why don’t you read LG’s actual statement, which states that it “requires separate explicit user opt-in consent and can be disabled at any time through the TV settings.”

1 combines with 2 because you can think about what changes to make to your code, and then that changed version runs. This is different from instructing an LLM to change something for you, where you have no insight in the underlying artifact

What people like about code is that you can run it and then it does exactly the things you wrote! And there is a precise, predictable relationship between the code and what it does, which you can fully understand and reason about! Neither n

It would be a fun coding agent benchmark to have them translate such a program between the different languages and see whether they preserve the respective semantics.

The doomsaying and catastrophizing would still be justified if AI fails to take over after disposing of us humans, so I think the premise of this analysis is slightly flawed.
