If an AI model thinks it's alive, isn't it just another hallucination ?

  Good point. AI is already making regular Joes into software engineers.
Management is so confident in this, they are axing developers/not hiring new ones.

Reminds me of the Starboard/Larboard nautical terminology. That must have created many disasters over the years. It took the British navy hundreds of years to rectify that one.


Eternity is a LOT of time...


Actually no, it's -1/12 of a second


It was significantly larger than a mere $billion. That's pocket change for Elon.


It was probably poisoned & couldn't give a damn about anything else.


I recommend giving ripgrep a try. (it's been around awhile now) https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep


It's not compatible with grep though. How do you search for a square bracket?

    $ grep '[][]' </dev/null
    $ rg '[][]' </dev/null
    rg: regex parse error:
        (?:[][])
             ^^
    error: unclosed character class
    $
And why does it search the current directory when its input is redirected from /dev/null? What other surprises are there?

To me, ripgrep is an improvement and the differences are a good thing.


It's compatible or close enough with more modern regex syntaxes. Which are probably familiar to a lot more people than grep. Want to search for square brackets, then escape them (or do a a string literal search with -F)


So much faster than grep for these things! Love ripgrep! I also use it to rip apart directories of log files. Super convenient

Lol. Geez, we gotta do something about key sequences getting 'molested'...
