Do you understand the time format there? It lists things as -700 or -800 for me, is that because of my local time zone (Chicago) vs. the mailing list (Finland?).
That raises more questions though... Like, why does the capture syntax have to be attached to the captured element?

Rust for example has a single `move` syntax for all-capture vs. no-capture toggle, e.g. `|x| x + foo` (`foo` is stored as a reference) vs. `move |x| x + foo` (`foo` is moved into the closure). While I do want an additional mode for uniformly applying specific methods (typically `.clone()`) for captured elements, that is almost enough for typical closures.

Also, if my reading of the documentation is correct, `$` has to be attached to each occurrence of captured elements. Like, `:(i) = i + foo$ * (foo$ + 1)`. Doesn't that look strange? It is even possible to mix two variants of captures like `:(i) = i + foo$ * (foo&$* + 1)`, and it's not entirely obvious to me what will happen to `foo$` when `foo&$*` is updated. Treating these "upvalues" as a sort of an implicit structure (e.g. `$.foo`) is much more consistent, and a prefix form `$foo` can be regarded as its shorthand.

It’s an interesting idea to use colours for more information in a text editor.

A lot of the suggestions here are things VS Code has been incrementally adding as visual guides over time though. For example the way VS Code highlights other instances of the same symbol (variable/function name) under the cursor goes a long way to address the specific Import, Argument, Type, and Exception cases listed in the article.

Combined with heat maps for test coverage and git commit recency in the gutter, I am skeptical that switching out syntax highlighting on demand (I.e keyboard shortcuts I’m assuming) would be ergonomic and viable.

That said, I love that there’s thinking in this space on how to improve the visual comprehension of code. There still are plenty of crutches I use, such as expanding the selection along the syntax tree (⌃⇧⌘→ on Mac) just to trace all the parenthesis and braces in JS/TS – I don’t find the rainbow braces very useful at all.
Well…trucking offers an opportunity (either as drivers or owner/operators) to people in rural areas that otherwise don’t have any great way to make money (read: rural people in formerly prosperous areas).

While it’s not exactly a low skill job - it’s pretty easy to start making serious money (relatively speaking) for someone that can get a CDL.

Obviously these jobs won’t disappear overnight but over-the-road trucking seems like the low hanging fruit for automation and happens to be a lucrative business for the current human drivers.

I don't think so, or at least I think it misses where this industry drives value from. I don't know if my comment will seem too cynical for the Hacker News add value to discussion threshold, but - the entire industry is by definition built, completely, around sub-optimization and artificial complexity, scarcity, and meaning. If you want optimal and efficient and automated, you can get it for fraction of the price. The hand made sub-optimal facet is a strong part of the perceived / advertised value.

I know nothing, at all, and am probably trivially wrong.

But their symptoms remind me vaguely of concussions in the NFL, and my understanding is, there is no way to find out if someone has CTE until after they're dead.

So I find it somewhat distasteful that the NIH brain scans were/are cited as a proof one way or the other.

I'm probably completely wrong on a possible hidden injury, and the "cited as proof" I'm complaining about is almost certainly that it was dryly included in a report, that they tried some scans, that didn't have any positive results: and that, of course, is the right tone and absolutely should be included in the report.

Cpp2 is part of the trend for would be "C++ Successor languages" from 2022. The std::println function was standardised in C++ 23, and implementations still don't all provide it in full today.

So in effect Cpp2 pre-dates std::println. Herb will have been aware that it exists and is likely for C++ 23, but it doesn't make sense to ship software which requires features you suspect won't be widely available for several years. A "Hello, world" program should not be relying on bleeding edge features.

I haven't found this to be true at all. I've probably marked thousands of linkedin messages as spam, but they still land in my inbox occasionally. I also get random e-commerce related spam from sites I've never heard of. The false negative rate is massive on corporate spam that should be trivial to classify I'd think. e.g. some of them literally have some variation of "this is an advertisement" along with unsubscribe links.
Usually it will also back off since by the time it's spiking current it's already applying pressure.

Thing is, when a technology is actually almost here, people stop talking about it. Those on the cusp of making it happen don't want anyone else to know as they don't want to attract competition that might beat them to the punch.

If you're reading articles about how some new tech is "almost here", you can be sure it's not. When radios start to go silent, that is when you might want to take notice.

I didn’t take a year fully off but last year was slow in my consulting work so I did a deep dive on the emerging LLM area.

One recommendation - get a beefy Mac laptop so you can run LLM’s locally. I got an M2 with 96G RAM. Makes a huge difference to your thinking about LLM’s when you can run your own and integrated it with little tasks here and there for experimenting.

Else I find most people think only of centralized closed LLM’s when they think of what’s possible. Severely limiting.

Other than that check out llama.cpp and ggml.cpp and the whole ecosystem around that.

In my experience Google shopping is inclusive of shipping if they know about it, but there's a big data hygiene problem, so you have to verify their results. I find it useful even though it's imperfect.
There are certain jobs that we consider artists, but are very close to someone entering a text to a prompt. Consider a director for theater/film. They are prompting their "tools" (to be reductive) to produce the art they want, and have to sometimes accept when they just can't get the results they want from their tool.

I've kept considering the term hand crafted when reading this thread about what is considered valued art or not as that's what applies to this gemstone TFA directly. Then it went to the painters with brush strokes, and that too keeps the hand crafted idea. That's when I jumped to directors. To step further away from art, and switch it to sportsball. While current managers might have once been a player, now, they are essentially entering text into prompts to get their "tools" to provide the result they are looking for with varying degrees of success. The managers/coaches can't kick/throw the ball themselves to get the results. They just have to get their "tool" to perform better by constantly tweaking the text entered into the prompt. Hell, now I'm thinking parents are constantly tweaking their prompts to get their kids to do something.

Okay, at this point, I'm convinced we're all just part of the matrix.

I don't think you read the same article that I did, because you are impugning Trisha Thadani and/or the Washington Post for grift and conflict of interest with zero evidence. The tone of the article does not at all strike me as praising Aurora Innovation, Kodiak Robotics, or Daimler Trucks. The subtitle warns that they are "speeding ahead of federal regulations," and if you look at her history she has written several articles focusing on the risks of testing autonomous vehicles on public roads.

Is that in widespread use in your area?
I’d recommend going to at least one restaurant in the different neighborhoods like Greenville, Knox/henderson, bishop arts, uptown, and deep ellum. Use google maps to search for the name of the neighborhood and just pick a place with a bunch of good reviews. Dallas is pretty spread out and downtown isn’t really where most of the good places to eat and drink are.
This study doesn't propose anything that can actually move the needle for food security. It requires animal based feedstock for the Pythons, which kills the efficiency claims because you need to grow an animal of mass X in order to obtain another animal of LESS than mass X. This is just a slightly more efficient method of recycling leftover biomass. It'll never be viable as a primary protein source.

Something feels weird about the timezone arithmetic here, though maybe I am nuts. Take this for example:

> Notably, on Tuesday, Jun 27, 2023, we see two commits: 23:38:32 +0800 and 17:27:09 +0300. If we do the math, there is about a 9-hour difference between the two commits.

Putting it all into UTC we get:

23:38 - 8 = 15:38
17:27 - 3 = 14:27

That's not 9 hours by my numbers. Or another example:

> Even more damning, on 6 Oct 2022, we see the following: one commit at 21:53:09 +0300 followed by another at 17:00:38 +0800. This is only a difference in a matter of minutes!

Putting it all into UTC we get:

21:53 - 3 = 18:53
17:00 - 8 = 09:00

I think these timezones were swapped (accidentally) by the article's author. If we do the calculation again:

21:53 - 8 = 13:53
17:00 - 3 = 14:00

That _is_ a matter of minutes.

The point you are making about mass hysteria is appreciated, but often patients really do suffer from something that turns out to be real. I am a "Havana syndrome" skeptic, but I do think the other examples are cut from a different cloth.

Including it just excludes the old 'program that returns a compressed size of 0 for a common test case because it contains the common test case within itself' scenario. There's variations of that too. Gpt is fantastic at predicting text and you could use that prediction with arithmetic coding to make a very minimal length for some common English text. But is that really fair? The gpt model essentially contains that English text. Including the program size has little overhead for most cases (code size is generally small) but it ensures we catch out cheating which is why kolmogorov complexity includes it.
