you think it's shitty, but it's a personal opinion that you're phrasing as some kind of widely accepted view

be sure that it's not, lots of people actually PREFER Android

see homebrew, they could have made this an official thing but no, they prefer to let people work do their work for them and sleep on their mattress of cash

despicable business practices really

IIRC Apple actually helped with MacPorts in the beginning

but have they integrated homebrew, have they made it a first class citizen, have they provided money or something?

the answer is "maybe to some small extent, but not really"

MacPorts is still around and is a perfectly viable package manager, I prefer it over homebrew

actually long ago before homebrew there was MacPorts which Apple actually was part of.

capital and talent is the same in this context

there's no shortage of talent in Europe or France, it's just an issue of available capital

"there's no shortage of talent in Europe or France, it's just an issue of available capital"

This is more complicated than you paint it. Countries like UAE have enough capital to throw at things and little-to-no taxation, yet they don't attract as much talent as they would like to.

Preexisting centers of excellence like Silicon Valley are attractive for young talented people precisely because a lot of older talented people are already there. The same reason why a young talented painter in 15th century would prefer Florence to some rich, but boring place elsewhere.

You can only really do a meaningful work in a "heavy" field by tightly cooperating with others, and physical proximity still matters.

the older talented people are there because of money

there's nothing special about the US, it's money

What I meant was top talent. US is still the top destination for top AI talent in general

A large contingent of the top AI people is French, the Mistral founders worked at Meta and Google before coming back to France. The real issue is capital, French salaries are shit

incredibly cliché and essentialist view of the world, reads like a bad pseudoscientific self help book from the 90's

It's not trying to be scientific, it's merely a little play on imagining human diversity.

A fragment of imagination.

I really wish people stopped saying things "I've been saying that"

why not just say "I think that"

do you see yourself as some kind of visionary about this particular topic? literally EVERYONE is saying that, it's the most obvious fact about AI

tried using zed, didn't understand how to set up claude code integration, went back to vscode where setting up claude code is trivial

Use the command palette to pick "agent: toggle" - that'll open the agent pane. Pick "Claude Agent" from the dropdown at the top if you see the Zed agent. Should be all you need.

Their ACP integration with Claude agent is extremely broken to the point of being almost unusable. It desyncs and breaks in other ways constantly requiring frequent IDE relaunch. I get that they want you to use their built-in agent but $200 Codex/CC plans are such a good deal it makes very little sense atm and the broken integration is just embarrassing...

crazy how people on hacker news, who just gobble up anything if it's from openai or anthropic suddenly become monocled sceptics when chinese open models are "winning"

it is absolutely a huge deal, I suspect you work daily in python but with a small number of repositories that dont change too often

no, I find Gemini to be the best
