Absolutely nothing about this is in anyway shape, fashion, or form about the use of AI inside vim or vi.

It's about the development of vim itself.

vim has no sharp edges because it's small. VSC on the other hand has LOTS.

This guy has a bunch of random "AI" rants as well.

And honestly, I don't know why I would want to go back to vim 8 (so circa December 2019 for his fork.)

He's 6.5 years in the past just to avoid "AI". What a dweeb.

Ooooh what if I have metrics across 100ks of laptops that say that nobody seems to intentionally use it? Those that are used it were mostly in a tablet format at the time.

Nobody wants it, but also people have been saying that Apple was going to bring touchscreens in the "next release" since the time of Netbooks. Notably the Macbook 12" was going to come with it.

Maybe they will come, maybe they will not.

I'm still waiting for the first company to pull the trigger and exit the Euro market.

Yoga Slim 7x?

Apple has always banded their products. They just decided that iPads had reached all the people they were going to reach and that they could make an iPhone level of performance laptop and it would not eat into their other products.

Dell is just as likely to discontinue their entire laptops tomorrow to sell more "AI servers" since that was about 90% of revenue last quarter.

Outside of the rare device, there hasn't been an issue with DACs in any devices since the early 2000s.

Stop letting people sell you snakeoil.

Most artists probably will be forced into this by their labels.

There's actually a group of duly elected people there who can happily rein in that person. They are for the most part instead not doing anything.

A huge problem for current US politics is that increasingly the smaller states have been controlled by the Republican party for a long time and the Senate is 2 people per state. (HORRIBLE design but made more sense with 13 Independent Colonies.)

A reckoning is going to happen at some point, but I don't think the world or the US is ready for that just yet.

(At least this is the POV of an American who hasn't lived there since 2000 and hasn't been a citizen since 2009.)

HP Inc doesn't make any money though, instead they are just slowly losing more money.

Ultimately Teradici sold itself to it's largest partner who still couldn't make enough money to keep it running.

This is the PC and Printer business, the entire rest of the software directly related to PC and Printers was already divested into HPE (or was already spun into Agilent), even HPE kicked out a bunch of software over to Micro Focus and OpenText (who promptly bought Micro Focus.)

I'm sure they have tried to sell it and nobody was buying. They are also struggling to make money despite being the #2 PC vendor (globally.)

Unless you are an extremely profitable company that has reason to raise margin, there's NO reason for a company to shutdown something that's making money. That means ... it's not making money.

I think maybe you either only work in a certain POV of the world of software development or just totally have no clue.

C++ has not at all died and has been increasing in enterprise business usage, mostly at the loss of Java and C# code. Also it's been growing in popularity in embedded usage.

It definitely seems like it was up and coming to replace all systems programming work and then just ... stalled out.

Rust Community has unfortunately made many, many people HATE them with a passion.

Who knows what the future will hold, but definitely seems like it might have stalled out.

It's also really hard to teach people who aren't as good at programming to use Rust well.

There's different types of CEO ummm coloring of reality. Altman's problem is lying to other CEOs ... That's a no-no.
