> "In psychopathology, psychosis is the inability to distinguish what is or is not real. Examples of psychotic symptoms are delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized or incoherent thoughts or speech."

I think the use of the word here is meant to invoke the vision of someone under heavy delusions or hallucinations, such as (what Hashimoto percieves as) the delusion that shipping more bugs is fine if AI can resolve them faster. To what extent this counts as delusion (and thereby psychosis) would depend on how deeply you believe that this and related opinions are wrong.


I don't use zed or svelte, but this looks like the zed picture is missing a treesitter parser for svelte. Many editors have basic regex-based highlighting for many languages, and optional, more advanced, highlighting available through extensions. You may also get some semantic highlights provided by a language server if your editor uses the Language Server Protocol as well.

I found one extension from a web search. Did you try this? https://zed.dev/extensions/svelte


It's been a while, but from what I remember you need that extension for any highlighting at all, and that screenshot is with it installed. Also, if I recall, it's something about that extension using an outdated treesitter parser or something along those lines.

Sounds to me like one major Zed enhancement should be to suggest plugins if you open specific programming language files...

It does this, but only for a couple dozen file extensions -- .svelte is one of them.

> midway through reading something

Maybe it's because I scrolled down before reading, but I could instantly tell this entire text was AI slop from the massive overuse of emojis and bullet points.


You let yourself be blinded. There’s nothing slop about this. Every sentence is crisp and meaningful.

That is very fascinating. Do you have some source on this that you could share? IIRC Dante wrote in vernacular Italian which was uncommon at the time, presumably to make his texts more approachable by common people?

If I had to take a guess, I would say he heard it in a lecture by Prof. Alessandro Barbero, same as I did :)

But I think the source is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_vulgari_eloquentia In the Italian Wiki page, the "constructed nature" of latin is hinted at; it doesn't seem to be present in the English wiki.

Update: It's indeed in the book, at the end of the 1st chapter of the 1st book:

3 There also exists another kind of language, at one remove from us, which the Romans called gramatica [grammar]. The Greeks and some - but not all - other peoples also have this secondary kind of language. Few, however, achieve complete fluency in it, since knowledge of its rules and theory can only be developed through dedication to a lengthy course of study

4 Of these two kinds of language, the more noble is the vernacular: first, because it was the language originally used by the human race; second, because the whole world employs it, though with different pro­nunciations and using different words; and third because it is natural to us, while the other is, in contrast, artificial.

Here, vernacular refers to "italian" or whatever dialect, while "gramatica" is latin - the artificial one :)


indeed, Prof Barbero it is! Good job digging up the reference :)

Could you list some of the major grievances you have with Firefox? I haven't been following the news very closely


Haha, this is hardly a daily site, is it? I can't remember the last time I experienced a firefox-specific browser issue before this. 95%+ of my issues usually come from ublock


No doubt, OP’s site is niche (and very cool!), but between weird graphical rendering I’ve experienced in the past with Firefox and WebGL, among a number of just flat out broken forms - I just gave up.

I want Gecko to succeed as Chromium being a bully in the web space has been unfortunate, though I’m even more rooting for Ladybird.


If you break your Neovim config, you can always just run `nvim --clean`


Sure but that turns my IDE into a text editor, where as Zed is a great backup IDE.


I am not familiar with scene graphs, but what is the problem with borrowing or refcounting? This article showed how you can have multiple mutable references in Rust, even multiple mutable references running in parallel threads.


Ref counting is for ownership, it doesnt convey intent. It kind of accidently works but is the wrong abstraction, especially in code bases where ownership is known.


If you're building data structures that have specific requirements and you know you'll implement it correctly, you can use raw pointers like `*mut T`. That's why they're in the language, for when you need to do something that the borrow checker can't verify and don't want the overhead of runtime borrow checks.


At this point, I assume most LinkedIn users use AI to assist in generating posts anyway, so the distinction kinda becomes pointless. Nobody likes reading AI generated posts, and nobody ever really liked reading LinkedIn posts either.


At least you aren’t wasting time writing something that people don’t like reading by hand. I just assumed that AI is trained on executive communication which is why they sound like a CEO.


I read the whole thing, but I was questioning whether this was heavily AI-assisted or just very linkedin-coded. For me the biggest AI indicators were "From “arcane” to professional", "The results: From the playmat to the professional world" and your "actually owning a language" example. I can't imagine anyone writing those sentences, even long-time linkedin users.
