for some reason I remember him being related to YUI, but I learned JS from Douglas Crockford, one of the best lectures from the old days of JS.


maybe submitters should pay a dollar to submit bugs which they will get a refund for when bug is confirmed?

even if not AI, there are probably many un skilled developers which submit bogus bug reports, even un knowingly.


It might only need to be the first N reports from a given account. It's hard to imagine a spammer coming up with 5 legit security issues just to enable their GPT spamming operation. As long as they're not real-but-trivial typo types of issues...


That actually sounds like a good idea.


meh,just a fancy image generator, the pigeon hadron collider does not even have enough pigeons in it.


I'm not sure, it might have changed since, but my personal experience was different.

Tried using zed on Linux (pop os, Nvidia) several months ago, was terribly slow, ~1s to open right click context window.

I've spent some time debugging this, and turns out that my GPU drivers are not the best with my current pop os release, but I still don't understand how it might take so long and how GPU is related to right clicking.

Switched back to emacs, love every second. :)

I'm not sure if title referring to actual development speed or the editor performance.

p.s. I play top games on Linux, all is fine with my GPU & drivers.


This.

It seems Vulkan support, the only GPU rendering API Zed uses, isn't well supported by any of the Debian derivatives. The libraries are only installed and working in Ubuntu 24.04 in Gnome Wayland sessions for example (Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't have KDE new enough for Wayland support).

And there are also bugs in the Zed automatic GPU selection that will intermittently cause it to pick the wrong GPU in a system with multiple (E.g. a discreet GPU and a motherboard with integrated graphics). Vulkan can only run on the primary rendering GPU, but it doesn't always pick that one, and doesn't support trying any others after the first one or picks (it seems), so it just falls back to emulated.

For reference, I had to spend 4 days getting Zed to install as part of a Nix home-manager config with nixGL because out of the box it failed to use the GPU on 2 of 3 systems. But after forcing it to use the right GPU with a wrapper that had Vulkan support (a nixGL wrapper) all 3 systems worked fine (so it's a Zed assumption/bug problem).

Also, the fact that Zed without the Vulkan supported hardware rendering is unusably slow is a big problem. It's far slower than anything else on the system and cranks the CPU to 100 with its "emulated GPU" workaround. That's not acceptable, they really need to get at least basic performance for the seeming majority of target systems that don't/can't meet the hardware rendering needs.


I also tried Zed on Linux a few months back, and had GPU/driver issues, so it was either slow or didn't run. Tried it just now and it worked right out of the box, and it's incredibly fast.

I will keep playing around with it to see if it's worth switching (from JetBrains WebStorm).


I know they started on MacOS and their Linux support is relatively new, so I wonder if that "fastest" label is really only applicable to MacOS currently.


No. It works incredibly well under Linux.

Nvidia drivers in particular are terrible on Linux, so what OP is describing is likely some compatibility/version issue.


maybe you right, but it was weird that everything else was working perfect. rendering engines, games, other graphic things...

that is why I commented, since was disappointed a bit


They use Vulkan, which I suspect is still rather uncommon for Linux apps in general.


a bad joke is in no way as peculiar as this.


First it was excitement, autism, and now it's a bad joke. Whatever you call it, I will never forgive the people that normalized this in politics.


Honestly, I'd give Musk the benefit of the doubt if he would even say that it was a joke or he didn't mean to make that particular motion. His refusal to say it wasn't intentional and it wasn't a nazi salute means, IMHO, that he ment it that way and it wasn't a joke, but a power play.


True, but that was a nazi salute wearing a thick layer of plausible deniability, not a "bad joke."


Isn't it concerning to have someone in the highest offices of power who thinks that's a funny joke, someone who has the lack of taste to find it funny in that context, the lack of diplomacy to think it an acceptable thing to do in such an important situation, and the lack of fear of consequences because he's in an almost completely untouchable position, and the unwillingness to say anything to excuse or apologise for it? Only the President can really do anything to him, and it's quite likely that he funds the president such that that can't/won't happen.

Trump has set a precedent of pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists - people who break the law doing what he wants get pardoned.

The supreme court is majority Republican, and he's been dismissing senior department heads and replacing them with people who have been pre-vetted for their Trump loyalty.

And he's possibly setting the precedent of ignoring court rulings he doesn't like; it's at least being accused by Republican nominated federal juste John Coughenour[1], JD Vance has spoken about ignoring supreme court rulings[2].

And The Whitehouse has announced that Elon Musk will police himself over his own conflicts of interest[3].

For some reason the other submission is being flagged, but I think it is important for others to see.


This submission has an aspect that is relevant to this community: cybercrime. And Brian Krebs. So it is unlikely to be flagged.[1]

Auditing the Pentagon, to take one example that I flagged, has very little tech relevance. This is not a site for discussing politics: read the guidelines.

1. Despite the fact that it is likely to be character assassination, pretending teenage hijinks are somehow a disqualifying for a job, and only relevant in the sense of the old adage, "set a thief to catch a thief".


There is a post which was flagged twice that was submitted by another user.

That is the reason I actually found the post and was amazed it was flagged so soon, when I got back to HN post after reading it. (15 minutes).

the post does not discuss politics but a certain member of the new team and some of his past, and maybe future.

re 1: why would somebody so respected in the cybersec community go after politics all of a sudden and not simply do that from curiosity? also, why would there be only one of those posts? I would expect more in this case.

I am asking simply to understand, I am not from the U.S and really am not involved in politics.

edit: question to pt. 1 in parent



It's become unflagged again. Enough users must have vouched for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42979187

It may well end up being re-flagged.


Is it weird that I expected the post to actually have running examples?


From the article:

> If you want to see a decent quick example of them in action, you can check out my game Jumblie and click the Settings gear button at the top.

It has the backdrop filter but it doesn't prevent page scrolling.

BTW, MDN's data on Safari's support for the unprefixed `backdrop-filter` property is wrong, it still sometimes requires using `-webkit-backdrop-filter` (works in iOS Safari 18.2.1, doesn't work in Safari 18.2 on macOS 14.7.1).


I have read the article, and saw the link, I simply thought it is so simple to actually add an example since the post itself is a web page.


That would require adding JavaScript to the page and some people don't do that in their blog, especially when it's published using a static site generator.


the only thing worth using LLMs here for is the cover letter.

maybe I'm wrong but turning HTML into structured data example by using an LLM is bug prone and lazy.

the real challenge parts are pretty basic as well..

don't get me wrong I am not judging automation, but using LLMs for these trivial tasks is IMO a waste of time as a software engineer.


not sure, but maybe it's possible only to update the model in a specific time? are there other uses to the data apart from learning and validation?


minimalism and due diligince, I hope.

my 2 cents are that it is not theoretically possible to handle and actually fight the problem of _too many dependencies_. we all need them to move quickly.

But, there must be a balance.

remark: just look at the FE framework / packages world (eco system), this is too much, and most are not needed.


That's clearly insufficient (this doesn't want to be an attack). Sadly even the best intended developer can get their machine corrupted and as a consequence poison huge chains, unfortunately.

It's more like a "hope to" than an actual solution
