I mean, it depends on how much code it has to lex/parse, but yes, it's pretty fast but not realtime.

That is usually the goal for editors, or at least, what is tried to achieve.

It can't be done every keystroke, it can't be done close to every keystroke. For clangd it's dependent on the size of includes/etc, though it does a reasonable job of caching :)

But it's not hard to out-type it.

"That being said, I believe that most editors do a hybrid approach to lexing/parsing because getting syntax information entirely from clangd is too much to ask. So basically the editor will do a best-effort parse in real time of your code using some built-in syntax highlighting engine (possibly tree-sitter, possibly something else) and then once clangd sends syntax information they'll update the document as necessary."

Which is precisely what i said most of them should do.
It's just that starting with "textmate" basically makes no sense when things like tree-sitter are available.
One of the things I’ve seen at universities a lot are signs on the recycling and garbage bins saying what is allowed and not. Maybe recycling bins could have more of that to help people know what’s okay or not.

Do you think it’d help if the plastic type label was color coded too? Say yellow for PET, red for HDPE, etc, to help people recycle only the right plastics.

Generally I’ve seen that it’s not that people don’t understand recycling, it’s that it takes energy and effort to figure out what to do and it’s not always easy.
I got blocked by their Imperva WAF because I'm using a VPN. How appropriate.

The nuclear equation was viewed very differently in those times. Recall that back then, Chernobyl was still a very fresh memory.

Meanwhile, the other half of the decision (to move to renewables) was quite prescient for its time.

Like the first ring around Quaoar, announced by a team of astronomers in February, the second ring lies beyond what is known as the Roche limit.

The second ring, at a distance of 1,500 miles from the center of Quaoar, is closer than the ring announced in February, which has a radius of about 2,500 miles.

Another occultation occurred on Aug. 9 last year, and astronomers again pointed telescopes, large and small, at Quaoar in hopes of learning more about the ring.

The new observations revealed more details including a dense, narrow core in the ring just a few miles wide, which is surrounded by an envelope of material that is more dispersed.

A potential explanation for Quaoar's distant rings is the presence of a moon, Weywot.

The moon may have created gravitational disturbances that prevented the ring's particles from accreting into additional moons.

Both rings occur in locations near what are known as resonances with Weywot, and the resonances may turn out to be more important than the Roche limit for determining whether rings turn into moons or remain as rings.

Going through OpenAI (764 tokens with a simple prompt):

Earlier this year, astronomers announced that a small world beyond Neptune with a diameter about one-third that of Earth’s moon possessed a Saturn-like ring that should not be there. Recently, after further observation, it has been discovered that Quaoar has two such rings. Scientists are still trying to understand how dust and gas in the early solar system coalesced into moons and planets. Quaoar is located in the Kuiper belt, a region of frozen debris beyond Neptune that includes Pluto, and the rings were found through stellar occultations. The first ring is at a distance of 2,500 miles and the second is at 1,500 miles. There is a potential explanation that the presence of a moon, Weywot, has caused gravitational disturbances that stopped the particles from accreting into additional moons.

The rings are not visible in telescope images, but astronomers were able to observe the shadow of the eclipses when distant stars passed behind Quaoar. Another occultation will occur on May 13, visible to telescopes in the US and Canada, which will help to constrain the Quaoar shape better and obtain more details about the two rings.

The discovery of the two rings around Quaoar has been a surprise to astronomers and has led to further research into how these rings were formed and how they remain in place. Additionally, it could offer insight into how dust and gas coalesced into planets and moons in the early solar system. Researchers hope that the upcoming occultation on May 13 will provide more answers.

Or even easier, simply drive in the middle lane while adjacent to another vehicle to block the camera's view of your plate. Flock's cameras mount in the center median or sidewalk and are only capable of reading plates from the two nearest lanes of traffic. There are better solutions out there which mount onto traffic signal poles and monitor each lane from above, making it much more difficult to circumvent (intentionally or by happenstance).

Of course this isn't much of a concern when installed onto a two-lane residential street for targeted enforcement. Though I know most municipalities opt to only place cameras at points of egress/ingress on their borders with other cities, and those roads tend to be more than just two lanes.

yes but is the memory for context able to grow linearly or is it an exponential growth that is required. If it's linear then it's going to get better really fast. If it's exponential it's going to be a bit more moors law like.

I have a feeling all of these things are limited by time/space/speed of light/heat/density limitations. Could be things can't get that much smarter than humans with in an OOM... tho they might get a lot more able to cooperate / delegate.
The survivorship bias here reflects the positive-results bias in research itself. One neither wants to nor can publish negative results, despite their potential to be more valuable than massaged and hacked positive results.

Not only is this unfair to unlucky research paths, but it also breeds a social media-like positive feedback loop wherein the individual researcher feels alone in failure.
Taxing the consumer and forcing that tax to be in the advertised price-point would do wonders. Would leverage capitalism to drive packaging waste reduction. Doesn't even need to be a national thing, if just the state of California implemented this it would drive reductions nation-wide.

“We take very seriously the concerns that it could be used for bad purposes and have worked to avoid that,” Tang said. “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to and that it helps them.”

I'm saying the website as a distribution model might change.

If you can encode knowledge and facts, there all all sorts of ways you might share news. P2P LLM-to-LLM as one crazy idea, but there are so many.

The encoding of the fact itself could let you instantly translate it, render to speech or video. This will take time to build, but it's wild.

Maybe our personal AI assistants will learn what's relevant to us and tell us at the desired resolution.

Think about how humans share facts. Our tech will trend towards that.
The original comment was:

> All warfare is a waste of resources, but those who decide to become pacifists are eventually out competed and subsumed by those who maintain the art of war.

They are using 'pacifist' in a rather loose sense.

So: Switzerland ain't wasting resources on warfare (though spend a bit on keeping their defenses working), and they aren't 'out competed and subsumed by those who maintain the art of war' either.

Your remark about profiting from other people's wars is a different topic.

Back in 2000-2001 I wrote a new compiler and linker for a cross-platform Visual Basic workalike called REALbasic. In 2016, the company contracted me to help out with a major new language feature they wanted to introduce, so I got a good look at the codebase, and most of what I'd written was still in use. (This inspired both pride and horror!) They have since replaced the code generator backends I wrote with LLVM - an eminently sensible decision - and they've renamed the product "Xojo", but most of what I built is still running.

It's true that biologics can wear off, but two counterpoints: (1) with the wealth of options available on the market today, you can generally hop to a new drug if a particular formulation starts losing its effectiveness, and (2) even if you only got Three Glorious Years of relief before all biologics stopped working for you forever, isn't that still a net gain versus not going on them at all?

For what it's worth, though, many people don't develop resistance, or at least not for a loooong time. My gastro told me one patient of his has been on Remicade for 15+ years and it's put them in happy remission the whole time.

This article just skims the surface. Here is more useful information:

Rapamycin modulates activity of two related and key molecular complexes that have partly disjoint action. Health benefits and longevity are mainly associated with inhibition of the mTOR-C1 complex using a low or intermediate and often intermittent dose of rapamycin or other rapalogs (for example. see work of Dudley Lamming and Matt Kaeberlein in PubMed.) Inhibition of the mTOR-C2 requires somewhat higher rapamycin levels and may be required for transplant patients. But persistent mTOR-C2 inhibition is apparently the main cause of adverse outcomes.

Most self-experimentation involve one or two oral doses in the range 0.2 to 0.6 mg every 5 to 10 days. This intermittent dosing will cause mTOR-C1 activity to oscillate in what users or their physicians hopes is a range without adverse immune suppression due to excessive drug action.

Experimental work in mice indicates that initiation of treatment later in life is effective in health gains and lifespan, although not as effective as match treatment initiated earlier in adults.

Short duration treatment of three months in mice (~5 years in human) is also somewhat effective, but again less so than longer term treatment.

For graphs of survival curves of different treatments of genetically heterogeneous mice (by sex) see the impressive data of the Interventional Testing Program funded by NIH’s National Institute on Aging.

Interesting, had not realized. I suppose my thresholds for truth were conditioned through prior observations of the HN comment distribution, and that such observations were incomplete. Given the new information, the story now takes two seconds to parse instead of one, and would be upgraded from "impossible" to "highly unlikely", IF there was a way to know whether your new subcomment is true or false. Maybe you are still messing with me ;-). When you look at it that way, there is no way for a person or machine to discern truth from fiction. And Tarski comes to mind.

Sure, here are a few:

* Elections that are regular and trusted

* Separation of powers

* Bills of rights and other limitations on the power of government

* Free speech, freedom to protest, etc.

* Transparency rules (eg the Freedom of Information Act)

* Reporters and news media

* Protections for whistleblowers

* Jury trials

* Presumption of innocence

* Term limits

The combination of all of these things means that the truth does eventually get around and the powerful are eventually held accountable. It can take a while (see how long it took to really get a decent lawsuit against the orange man), but it happens. In contrast, throughout history, people have tried to circumvent these mechanisms in order to make them run faster. Inevitably, that leads to people who exploit them for power.

Many countries in Europe and North America have had democratic systems that have lasted 150+ years, including through the reigns of several would-be dictators, but they continue. You may have noticed that all of these "self-healing" mechanisms rely on the work of people in the system, and they do take constant work to maintain, but that doesn't mean that the system is fragile.
