I have tried both cursor and cline (formerly continue dev), and I don't seem to see the incredible performance boost using cursor like a lot of people say


I think some people are writing dumb code for a living


And let me guess, you aren't?

Small correction: Cline is former Claude Dev.

Continue Dev is a different extension which continues with the same name.


Oops, yeah you are right

> I don't think you get "The Green Mile" from something like this.

...yet


You didn't answer the question.


> Despite some HN quips, AI text detectors are pretty dependable

I have never tried AI text detectors, but my impression was that they were considered unreliable?


They are. The author is wrong.


If you ever dealt with horrors of "plagiarism detection" tools...

It only gets worse.


You can create something like this easily by yourself using Obsidian and a plugin like https://github.com/AndreBaltazar8/obsidian-canvas-conversati...


It's like when I replaced dropbox with just a few scripts and sftp.


Syncthing, actually.

I think you were joking but the benefit of designing software at personal scale is often an exponential reduction in complexity.


Indeed, I mentioned even more free plugins for Obsidian Canvas in my comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40301465


"easily"? well, no except you're a techie.


What's the hassle for normal users?

1. Open Settings -> Community Plugins

2. Search for "Canvas Conversation" and install.

Done!


> what people use to hide (and make accessible) the internal services such as grafana, prometheus, rabbit mq (the web interface) and such?

Proxies or VPNs like you mentioned. You usually don't expose things if you don't have to.


I don't share your enthusiasm for monopolies


It's cool if you're Nvidia, work for them or own stocks. Not so much otherwise.


Reading Stratechery has got a lot of people talking like a buy-side equities analyst when discussing companies. Vendor lock-in is now a good thing. /s


The registration at the notary alone already costs several hundred euros, you would be immediately bankrupt with 1€.


Exactly, there's the notary cost, the monthly banking fees, the yearly books closing and accounting related to that, chamber of commerce registration (recurring yearly as well). You also need to have a mailbox somewhere to be able to receive all the paper work. You can use your home address but it's generally not recommended and frowned upon by land lords.

In my case, I burned through about 2500 euro in the first year just on stuff like that for a holding company that holds shares in my actual company. It takes about 4-5 months to get most of that behind you. Yearly running cost are about 1000 euro (accounting, recurring fees, etc.).


Bold and utterly wrong statement


Any reason you think so or are you just not paying attention? Far-right sentiment is rising in the US by any metric.


I belong to an ethnic minority in Germany and had real Nazis, not Neo-Nazis, as neighbors growing up. Just because you don't know how racist the average German views are, doesn't mean it isn't so.

- CDU, which is politically the closest to the Republicans, is by far the strongest party now

- AFD, actual Neo-Nazis, are the second strongest party in recent polls

- East Germany is basically a giant No-Go area for PoC, with a couple of exceptions.

I appreciate the actual response! I'd like to point out that I didn't say that Germany doesn't have racists or Nazis - as a matter of fact, I'm well aware of this, and in particular I'm aware of the rising popularity of AfD. I don't like this and I won't defend those groups in any way. But I don't think I'm wrong stating that we have more Nazis, unless you're going to be a stickler about which white supremacists are and are not Nazis.

- The US Republican Party is far right and going farther. The Democratic party is also on the right. There are basically zero federal politicians on the left, the best you can get is basically center.

- We had an attack on our federal capitol building three years ago by white supremacists. Nazis carrying flags with the hakenkreuz marched on the Tennessee state capitol about six weeks ago. The number of groups like this is rising swiftly, even the police are in on it.

- We have done very little to stop this, we even had our previous president praising them. It's an embarrassment to our country, honestly. We were so proud to have beaten the Axis powers in WWII - and now we're going down the same path.


> which is so newly discovered

It says that it was published in 2015, or am I missing something?


Am I missing something? 2015 for a paper feels relatively new enough that people might not know about it and it might not be in school books.


People learn in school, then after they estabilish their career, they have kids and other interests and this and that and they get intellectually stuck. Don't grow. Don't learn new things in their field of (supposed) expertise... I see this ALL THE TIME. Now if middle aged programmer refuses to learn new things, it's annoying to work with them, but you'll survive. If a middle aged physician refuses to learn new things, you're kinda fucked. Sadly, the amount of physicians out there who don't keep improving is pretty large given the importance of their job. Yes, the "pretty large" part is mostly anecdotal - my experience and experiences of my friends and family - but if I see the stuck programmers in my field, I'm pretty convinced there must be quite a few of the stuck physicians.

So yeah, 10 years in medicine? Seems like a brand new paper to me. I expect that knowledge to bubble its way to your average physician some time around 2040.


That’s why I am on hackernews though? If nobody posted that paper 8 years ago I’d be surprised.



[flagged]


Does this comment have nothing to do with the thread, or are we missing something?


I'm about the median age in the US and wouldn't expect anyone less than a decade younger than me to have been taught it in school unless they went for a degree in a related field, and possibly not even then. 2015 is after I finished grad school and something like a decade after I'd last taken a class where it might have been taught if it had already been around for enough years to make it into the curriculum.


Great points, I got my Ph.D. in neuroscience 20 years ago. There were disparate theories for why we sleep but no mechanistic description. Most of the research not specifically relevant to my own took 10-20 years to become influential. I’d be surprised if most textbooks for neuroscience-related fields being published today are including the glymphatic system, including psychology / psychiatry and medicine.


> so newly discovered likely you didn’t learn about it in school.

So with the slow pace knowledge makes it into the school curriculum, you likely wouldn't have heard about it in school unless you just left the system a year or two ago (if even then).


Exactly, my kids are in elementary school and I’ve been talking with superintendents and high school principals. It’s straightforward to teach kids about the brain as a muscle and sleep as critical to rest and recovery to best power cognition. The glymphatic system gives a clear mechanism and yet I haven’t found many places where it’s being taught as a core part of how to best use your brain. Sleep is still considered a nice to have for brain performance, not a driver of working smarter.


Ok I think I got confused. I thought OP meant that they will win the Nobel for this specific publication.

I guess I should have slept more


You are missing the context of age demographics. For example: in the United States of America about 63% of the population is over the age of 32 which represents roughly 200 million Americans which graduated Highschool before the year 2010.


And the majority of whoever is teaching university or even high school right now probably graduated themselves before 2015, when the article was published.
