Thank you for the clarification, that was not entirely clear to me from the post.
You also mention that the current "optimised" version is "good enough" for every-day use (I use `bs4` for working with html), was the first iteration also usable in that way? Did you look at `html5ever` because the LLM hit a wall trying to speed it up?
Made possible in turn by giving safe haven for user content on the big social networks. Turned out to be a double edged sword.
When Rupert tried to lie about voting machines, he was fined couple of hundred mils. All the social networks mouthpiece accounts spouting nonsense suffer no repercussions whatsoever.
yes, i have TAOCP on the shelf and yes guilty of "one day i'll ready it".

Knuth has not just written up all these things, he has developed an entire typesetting system (complete with fonts) to bring technical publishing screaming and kicking into the 20th century (when other software thought kerning and hypenation were creatures from space). it's the only program deserving a version number approximating PI.
not a heavy :! user, what i used there worked, but afaik neovim recommends :te . that's one of the bigger differences. neovim was very proud to have a fully integrated terminal
so why dont i see that with ai related stuff? hn has been basically a gpt news site the last 4 months. quite sick of it actually. i dont remember even 5 climate change big threads recently, it's like the issue doesnt exist here at all. climate change is not only political - there's tons of research and science involved. but it's better to know someone put gpt on self driving cars that can cook asian fusion hallucinated recipes. hn has its blind spots just like any other site.
overall i find it balanced. certain topics will draw certain vocal crowd more and then it will look unbalanced.
on the other hand it's really funny to see "modern development practices and patterns" mentioned in a topic about WP.
are you sir one of them expert technologists from tok tik?
i agree that WP is a cautionary tale but one thing they got really well: never do a rewrite from scratch while being the top dog. it must have been hard to resist that siren song and now we'll have WP till the heat death of the universe.

until you read Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and start watching the epicurious yt channel.
the "4 levels" and "pro chef vs home cook" epicurious playlists are amazing eye openers, where they exactly highlight the actual difference in skills and knowledge.
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
People change all the time, and things need to be reevaluated from time to time.
So another skill is to disengage with our heroes when the values start misalign.
