Looks like they forgot the part of the code editor where you can… edit code. Claude Code in Zed is about the most optimal experience I can imagine. I want the agent on the side and a code editor in the middle.

That’s not really a negative for me as I can easily jump into vscode where I already have my workspace for coding set up exactly as I like it. This being a completely separate app just to get the agentic work right is a good direction imo

Yeah but its annoying to find the file the agent just edited without any IDE/editor integration, you have to add that command which opens the file in vscode after editing.

It would be nice to have an integrated development environment.

How dare you want your IDE to be integrated!

Usage like this is becoming a rarity. Most people are editing significantly less and "agent interfaces" are slowly taking the focus.

"most" people aren't even using AI yet

Of those that are, most are not vibe coding, so an editor is still required at many points


For greenfield apps you can vibecode it. For existing complex apps, where existing products where customers pay us a lot of money for working software, understanding the changes and context surrounding them in the code is critical or else nobody knows how the system works anymore and maintenance and support becomes impossible.

Good lord at some of these comments. Sex work is work. Stop imposing your personal morals on others. You sound like a bunch of incels.


Whatever the case may be, this has nothing to do with morals, but rather with classification of it as an "extraordinary" ability. Talking about that, instead of seething and name-calling, you could show us your extraordinary ability to go back to Reddit.


I don’t have a Reddit fam, but I’m sorry if you’ve never seen a porn featuring extraordinary abilities.


I agree that sex work is work but it's no extraordinary ability.


You obviously haven’t seen what I’ve seen.


I’m going to assume Google Docs.


Good?


Not as good when you just end up having to pay more for services right


The incentives are better aligned though, so long as they are not undermined (by moving the target) Ala cable tv.


Nope still good


I think we can pretty safely assume that every large and successful company has done horrible and illegal things to get themselves there. That being said I think design and ease of use still play a significant part in Uber’s success.


Well, I didn't have Balzac on today's HN bingo card, for sure!

I used weed to quit alcohol, lose 50 pounds, and lower my stress after dealing with nerds like you at BigCorp all day. Hush and let people enjoy things. We all end up as worm shit at the end of the day.


I’ve been looking for a DisplayPort to HDMI cable to get around this on our household couch gaming computer. I have been unable to find one sketchy or otherwise that can handle high refresh rate and 4:4:4 color.

https://www.club-3d.com/shop/cac-1087-1128 (3m cable version)

DP 1.4 → HDMI 2.1. Apparently they're no longer being manufactured (?? - not sure that's correct), so get one while it's still possible...

[Ed.: accidentally linked another adapter that is the other direction. Added 3m & direct manufacturer links.]


What a road down the memory lane… Club 3D GPUs in the early 2000s


Ty for the links! I’ll look into this.


FWIW, most USB docks are effectively this. DP goes in via USB-C and HDMI comes out the other end.

I bought one from UGREEN on Amazon. I think it's called the 9 in 1. It does 4k@60 with HDR, coming out of SteamOS.


But are there any that don't overheat when you try to funnel dual screens through the USB-C/TB4?

The only setup I have that doesn't is a super minimal one that has a single DP out that feeds a daisy-chain (and a single USB out that feeds a simple hub for low bandwidth peripherals, and a PD in). Unfortunately, most of the screen pairs that I run don't do daisy-chain.

Every other hub I tried eventually got me to give up and connect one of the screens through direct HDMI.


The key is to not use TB4; that's far more energy intensive to handle than DP1.4 alt mode (+ MST for 2 displays). Basically the dock needs to be a little shitty and not have too many features...


But does it support VRR?


I’ve never thought about trying a dock. Thanks!


I usually go for Cable Matters cables, they tend to be of a decent quality and follow the specs well. UGREEN is supposedly a reliable option too, though I cannot personally vouch as I haven't used their cables in particular.


VMM7100 based devices like the Cable Matters 102101 work. Also allegedly CH7218 based adapters. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4773


Going to be watching this ticket for sure.


According to the article, these adapters generally don't support VRR.


I think the article is honestly a little outdated on this point. The last couple of years the adapter market has caught up pretty well.

The UGREEN 8K@60Hz Display Port to HDMI Adapter I have sitting here supports g-sync (and claims support for freesync).


I mean the article is two days old, so perhaps not that outdated. There also seems to be a difference between G-sync, Freesync, and HDMI VRR.


Why does everybody seem to overlook this?


I'd say because most people don't care about VRR...


People who buy Valve's Steam Machine should care though, because they will get bad frame rates without VRR.


The frame rate won't really be any different, there'll just be a little bit of extra delay until you can actually see the frame that was just rendered, and maybe some barely detectable stutters. Keep in mind we're talking 4K120 or 8K here, the GPU in the Steam Machine is nowhere near fast enough for either of these things. It's likely that there's always some mode with a higher fixed frame rate than what the GPU can calculate, even on Full HD you can probably just do fixed p120 or p144.

VRR is all about smoothness/microstutters, not higher frame rate/performance.


Without VRR you get screen tearing when the frame rate below 60 FPS. (Except if it is locked to 30 FPS.)


I could say the same for many people that I know.


I don’t understand this reaction. It’s an immutable distro and is very similar to SteamOS. It’s very hard to break and dead simple to maintain. You will likely install apps via Flatpak and never have to touch the Arch repos.


I think you're thinking of Bazzite. Which indeed would probably have been an excellent fit for a gaming-focused beginner for the reasons you mentioned.


It’s immutable, so if something goes bad it will just rollback. SteamOS, Bazzite, and others also work in a similar manner. I run several Bazzite boxes for gaming and they are nigh impossible to brick.


CachyOS is not an immutable distro.
