I'm not even talking about the specific situation. The problem with prediction markets that has been talked about for months is the predictions themselves are being used as an indicator that "thing will happen" and eventually

Get a pet and narrate everything you do, you can even talk to the pet, they love that. I do this whenever my husband is away and I find it pretty calming/enjoyable

I feel you, but hear me out. OP is right. I've wanted pretty much everything he's talking about here for years, I just never thought of all of this in as quite a formal way as he has. We need the ability to say "this piece of

> What I think is disappearing is not so much the quality of academic education, but the baptism by firehose that entry level CS positions used to offer - where you had no choice but learn how things actually work while having a safe spa

Anthropic winning big points with me for this one to be honest. Reminiscent of the Apple vs FBI days almost a decade ago

btw the “quoth” crate makes it really really easy to implement scannerless parsing in rust for arbitrary syntax, use it on many of my projects

I mean it's pretty effectively emulating what an outraged human would do in this situation.

lol ok have fun building from zero _without_ abstractions. It will work for the narrow thing you first tell it to build, the fun comes when you tell it to change in any way.
