I mean it sounds nice but they never say _why_. "AI removes a lot of the burden" is not a _why_. I was hoping to read about some of the shortcomings of React Native, but it seems like they're doing it just because they can. I remember Airbnb had a post about switching off of React Native years ago that actually had some solid reasoning behind it.

I think we need to have a little more sympathy for GitHub. You could justify the jabs when we could all blame any outage on the migration to Azure, but then they shared numbers around the scale they're dealing with now that everyone is constantly building and pushing with AI.

I think it's commendable that they're not limiting access to the site or (intentionally) throttling newcomers. Yes, they need to get this figured out, but a little sympathy goes a long way. I personally wish them the best and hope their on-call people can go back to getting normal amounts of sleep soon.

Don't really understand why people are saying this is terrible advice. If you're 17, you should be learning everything. At that age, your brain is a sponge and your energy levels are the highest they will ever be.

None of us know what the future of work, education, or AI is going to look like. But your best bet is to become a life-long learner. Be it LLMs, musical instruments, physics, or business.

Don't apps like Snapchat notify the other person if you take a screenshot of your messages?

1000%. Apps should not even be able to know that I've taken a screenshot - let alone change the contents of it.

I thought I misread the title at first. I assume we're going to pay labs to stop doing cancer research next?

I wish I could walk around NYC without airpods in. Someone mentioned the lunatics and others blasting music but the main issue honking.

The honking in NYC is unbearable. Add to that the noise that the subways make and the constant construction and you're risking actual hearing damage if you don't wear some noise cancelling headphones.

Can anyone comment on the inline AI tab completion performance of Zed compared to Cursor? Hoping to move away from Cursor as it seems like they break my settings every time they push an update and Vim motions stop working at random.

The only thing stopping me from leaving Cursor is their tab completion, which is honestly just incredible.

The elephant in the room is that there's nothing quite like Cursor Tab. Copilot, Supermaven, Codecompanion, etc. don't even come close. As much as I want to use Neovim full time, I just can't walk away from Cursor Tab. I can live without Cursor Agent since I can just use Claude Code when I need an agent.

Until something comparable for Neovim comes out, I just don't see how I can switch back. I would happily pay for this. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat as me.

Maybe someone can clarify this but I was also pretty appalled by the grammar in the Epstein emails until someone pointed out it could be an artifact of OCR or decoding issues.

Not sure why they would have to do OCR on emails. Were they printed out? On PDF for some reason? The decoding thing I kinda get but that you can easily point out because of all the equal signs.
