"- cursor position marked as ${CURSOR_TAG}: Indicates where the developer's cursor is currently located, which can be crucial for understanding what part of the code they are focusing on."
I was not aware that was a thing and useful to know. Thanks!
Anthropic employees Sholto Douglas & Trenton Bricken did an interview recently with Dwarkesh Patel, pieces here and there was about the circuit tracing insights.
Eg, "If you look at the circuit, you can see that it's not actually doing any of the math, it's paying attention to that you think the answer's four and then it's reasoning backwards about how it can manipulate the intermediate computation to give you an answer of four."
Adding to the GP & sibling: Even in Los Angeles with some of the bigger libraries the IT/programming books were on the older (outdated?) side.. The more modern material was at the book stores like Barnes, Borders, or another one at the mall (I don't remember if it was B Dalton, Walden, or something else).. thankfully I could skateboard there after school or work and read them there for the evening since I couldn't afford them. Getting the internet and SNR of content back then was a game changer to me too.
Since php 7.4 there's been opcache preload to keep a lot of the framework instantiated, in php 8.1 opcache inheritance cache covered some ground with preload.
Some frameworks like symfony considered removing preload support but they were still seeing benchmarks of 10% better performance with it so it was kept.
The biggest pain point with preload IMO is it's global, not per pool, and php-fpm needs to be restarted to update the preload script.
Relatedly the movie "The Fountain" they combined chemicals and bacteria to create some of the visual effects instead of CG. The DVD has an extra of "Peter Parks Bonus - Macro Photography Loop".
I'm thinking the same.. if I've fallen off a cliff or crashed my bike and broken my leg, possibly in shock too, I want something rugged & simple to activate like a PLB
