  "For the first time in history, humans are cheaper than software" - this quote is a bit exaggerated, applies to extrapolated data from top 1% companies spending the most on #AI. Yet, interesting article: https://www.a16z.news/p/the-next-ai-goldrush-tokens-loops

  Wow, a post from my (now deleted) Twitter account, dated December 2021: > I’ve been using @githubcopilot with @intellijidea for a few weeks. Sometimes it’s ridiculously wrong. But more often I’m blown away by how clever the suggestions are. I’m not afraid of my job being taken over by robots. However, it’s a valuable tool that saves me a bit of typing https://nurkiewicz.com/2022/11/Twitter-archive.html#tweet-1467570298983796742

  Underrated #vim advantage: when using vim mode in every other editor, you don't have to learn new keybindings all the time. Shortcuts are always the same. Weird and counterintuitive, but consistent

  "Code review of AI-generated source code? Are you also verifying machine code generated by compiler?" Dude, you are comparing inherently probabilistic service running on someone's cloud to a compiler, the most deterministic piece of software (that doesn't mean bug-free!) on the planet

  I switched from #vscode to #Zed and I was blown away that the editor can still be responsive in 2020s. Now I moved further to #NeoVIM. It's obviously even more responsive. Downside: it responds very quickly to my random key presses and I have no idea what I'm doing

  #neovim is simple! To copy ("yank"?) the entire buffer into clipboard, just hit [Esc] for Normal mode, followed by `ggyG`! ("go to the beginning of the buffer, yank selection, go to the end of buffer".) Of course you must first add this to use your OSes clipboard...: ``` vim.opt.clipboard = "unnamedplus" ```

  Unbelievable. Every Ford Mach E has a front trunk. It's just there. But you have to pay extra $495 for the feature of unlocking it... Apparently it's a one-time fee, not a subscription. Such wasted opportunity. https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-mustang-mach-e-frunk-now-costs-extra
