I'm surprised that flight data is that accurate. How long before flight data gets locked down?

I agree w/ this perspective. An agent with a harness that can run programs can solve a lot more than one without the harness. The AI system includes the harness, and it's not clear to me that AGI requires more than LLMs + code generation & execution are capable of.

And they even made the C++ version more verbose than it should have been. Most people would write:

class Person { int age = 0; };

I wish rust would make default struct field values this easy to write.

MS and Apple have the same thing, they're just less successful. Just a browser and an OS was previously seen as antitrust (and it looks like MS is being anti-competitive in this space still). Just a browser and a search engine can allow anti-competitive behavior. Or just a search engine and an ads platform...

The problem is the anti-competitive behavior. Businesses are generally rational actors, so clearly our system isn't working. It's unclear what the boundaries are until years in court, and even then it only applies to a single company.

A company owning a web browser isn't the problem. A company owning a web browser, OS and search engine shouldn't be a problem either. I don't know why the remedy can't actually address the problem, and the DOJ can't move more quickly to address antitrust across the industry. This feels like randomly cutting a baby in half, while the rest of the thieves, even those in the same family, are not deterred.

Can't store tabs or newlines, odd choice.

If you could pipe the ripgrep output into an editor, make changes, and have them applied, that would be great. Once you get all the text you want to change in one buffer, it should be easy to make repetitive changes quickly in your editor of choice.

The author talks as if this isn't documented... https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.htm...

> Additionally, a subset of low entropy variations are included in network requests sent to Google. The combined state of these variations is non-identifying, since it is based on a 13-bit low entropy value (see above).

Author doesn't actually know what this information is being used for. Sure there can be a discussion about whether this information should be recorded at all (say, to determine if your site doesn't work on certain hardware), but claiming it _is_ fingerprinting is baseless.

Does it say they can't nag users relentlessly until they click 'accept'?

Lack of MRU tab switching and preview tabs are two reasons I haven't switched from sublime. Glad they are listening to requests.

Is valid if a and b are types.

> It probably also helps that extending Atom is much more approachable given that it's all Javascript...

I've heard this said before, I've had the opposite experience. ST offers a small api and it was easy for me to make something work with a single .py file. I gave up trying the same thing in Atom; the api is larger and lower-level. Admission: I don't know coffeescript.

ST of course isn't nearly as flexible, there are many things you just can't do.
