I believe emacs chunks large files and then lazily loads them to enable this. I remember having to mess around with a specific mode to get it to work in the past, but I think it's included in base emacs now.
It took me forever to figure out that windows defender was what was slowing emacs down to a crawl on windows. I even went through the trouble of compiling native-comp and it was still slow.
I wish I could tell it I always want English language wikipedia results first regardless of which language I search in. I'm tired of my top result being a poorly translated version of the English wikipedia page I actually want.
If I were talking about sentience I would definitely be including goldfish. What about them is so different to us that we would have sentience while they would not?
Remember that dude that wrote the vast majority of Scots wikipedia while not being able to speak Scots? Yeah, just waiting for the first LLM to make headlines by hallucinating it's own version of human history and publishing it to wikipedia.
I wasted two hours yesterday just to track down a bug that was in the documentation, not the code. It's so frustrating. Maintaining good documentation is incredibly hard especially when you're trying to document how your program interacts with other software because now you have to change your documentation when a third party changes their code.
Do we actually need monetary incentives to get people to create new things. Won't people naturally keep creating new things as long as they aren't constrained by a more fundamental need? So we really just need to create a society where nobody has to worry about their basic needs like housing, food, healthcare, etc...and then people are free to create and are even free to fail while doing so.
Hell, it's hard enough these days to identify which physicians are actually physicians. I recently had an NP introduce herself to me as "Dr. So-and-so."
Yep, google published a bunch of research about their hiring processes and it basically said "we've tried everything and nothing works... anybody else have any ideas?"
Yeah, and feathers fall at the same speed as baseballs if you mitigate friction.
