In my experience, LLMs benefit greatly from the existence of sum types and exhaustive pattern matching.

Personally I think we should declare that b and strong mean the same thing, and that i and em mean the same thing. As the other commenter points out, there's no real semantic difference between "bring attention to" and "

The Oakland CA DMV, which is the one I live closest to, is quite nice. I've never had a bad time there.

So then what's the point of making this distinction? I would like to see surveys of how many people actually author content in forms that differentiate between b and strong.

Trump has -20% to -25% net approval depending on the poll, and his approval rating on immigration is -10 to -15%. Clearly people do not like any of this in practice even though they might have liked it in theory.

Is the goal here to be the same as others or to be better than others? The US immigration system is far from great at the best of times, but it's becoming worse over time.

I write most of my content in markdown or asciidoc and I don't pay attention to whether it's b or strong :)

Bleh. <b> is apparently now bring attention to . As if.

One might argue that the composition of higher abstractions is the next token predicted after "here is a higher abstraction:"

There are two ways to express such ratios, and both are equally valid. (Though "x" is usually reserved for "40x" and "%" for "97.5%".)

Olivia uses she/her, and I believe she is now retired :) I owe her and the Mercurial community a great debt. The community taught me how to think like an engineer building infrastructure and the importance of backwards compatibility, s

Yes? "Different cultures" doesn't just mean different countries; there are many cultures within infosec.

I don't think mailing stacks of patches is that different? As someone who built this stuff it was pretty obvious to me that web-based patch stack management was a relatively small evolution over mailing lists. Tools like patchwork brid

To my knowledge, stacked diffs were first done in the Linux kernel as stacks of patches sent over email. From there they spread to Google and Facebook. (Source: I worked on Facebook's source control team from 2012-2018 and did a lot of

If it doesn't work on Windows, it is not a full replacement.

A big issue with the macOS style I'd that there isn't a modifier key free for the user to build their own shortcuts around. The Win/Super key is a very good place to hang custom shortcuts off of on Windows and Linux.

A fun recent experience I had with Claude was I asked it to write a model for PBTs against a complex SUT, and it duplicated the SUT algorithm in the model — not helpful! I had to explicitly prompt it to write the model algorithm in a comple

Thank you! I have some particularly annoying proptest-based tests that I'll try porting over to Hegel soon. (Thanks for writing the Claude skill to do this.)

Hi David, congratulations on the release! I'm excited to play around with Hypothesis's bitstream-based shrinking. As you're aware, prop_flat_map is a pain to deal with, and I'd love to replace some of my proptest-based t

My understanding is that that is a maximalist position for the avoidance of risk, and is sufficient but probably not necessary.

A very important thing about constraints is that they also liberate. TUIs automatically work over ssh, can be suspended with ctrl-z and such, and the keyboard focus has resulted in helpful conventions like ctrl-R that tend to not be as prom

I'm not a professional, but to me it's clear that whether i and -i are "the same" or "different" is actually quite important.

I believe that countries and borders exist as a descriptive fact about the world. But I also believe that it's impossible to square immigration control regimes with any robust notion of freedom and liberty, and also that there isn&#x27

I need you to understand that immigration controls are fundamentally and inherently antithetical to freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and freedom of association. And this applies both to immigrants and to citizens. Imagine if you need

Migrating to a place where people can contribute more to society is both a core tenet of individual liberty and one of the most positive-sum things any human being can do. But given that you both feign concern over visa holders' workin
