Well, in 2019 an estimated 840 people died in the U.S.A. by red light running (<https://ncsrsafety.org/stop-on-red/red-light-running-fatalit...>). That's about 2.3 people a day, so last person killed by someone running a red light was statistically about 10.5 hours ago, the last one before that about 21 hours ago.
In some parts of the U.S.A. it's legal to turn right through a red light. GP was wondering if the software can tell that the driver was making a legal right turn through the red instead of doing the thing that's obviously illegal everywhere because it's just a matter of time until you kill someone.
I mean, double quotes and curly brackets also require using the Shift key, as do the at sign, number sign, dollar sign, and ampersand. The brackets are a small enough part of the code that it doesn't matter.
Mostly these days it just requires that you start to type "print" and then press tab when appropriate, though. I feel like I relatively rarely type brackets manually for function calls. Lisp syntax doesn't seem amenable to this particular affordance?
Why not? Could just type 'print', TAB, and have it put brackets and spaces in the right positions and leave the cursor in place for the first argument.
That’s true, but the travel distance of the braces or the double quotes from the home row is much less than the travel distance from the parentheses. Just using shift isn’t the problem, it’s how far parens are from the normal hand position.

That... depends on your keyboard maybe? On Dvorak the curly brackets are harder to reach than the round brackets. The open round bracket is also hit with the ring finger instead of the little finger, which is weaker.
I see many comments here about Claude and I get the same feeling I get when I see comments about MacOS: it's nice that you're content with it, but I don't trust Apple/Anthropic for a fraction of an angstrom.
Wake me when we have ethically trained, open source models that run locally. Preferably high-quality ones.
Someone I know who works at a telco (no idea if Vodafone is a thing in Belgium, but whatever: not Vodafone) was talking about a number someone has: 0411 11 11 11, and they got over a hundred operator messages every day.
I mean, anyone capable of accessing YouTube can listen to S.O.D.'s Kill Yourself, so at some point it's a question of who is responsible when a vulnerable user gets into contact with potentially harmful content.
It's a culture fit question. When the culture is 'make everything ourselves' you're not a great culture fit. When the culture is 'just solve the problem', you fit in perfectly well.
