A history of parsers of the Ruby programming language.

Prism in 2024
In Ruby 3.3.0, a new standard library was added to CRuby called Prism. Prism is a parser for the Ruby language, exposed as both a C library (optionally usable by CRuby) and a Ruby library (usable as a Ruby gem). The Prism project represents many person-years worth of effort, and is the result of a collaboration between Shopify, CRuby core contributors, other Ruby implementation authors, and Ruby tooling developers.

No idea if this looks reasonable, but it's a start. objdump from Synopsys' open source toolchains looks similar.

Fohlenticker zur Hinrunde 2023/24: Mittelmaß mit 20 Punkten
Ticker vom 17.1: Nach 3 Punkten gegen Stuttgart - ein Sieg gegen Augsburg muss her 3 Punkte daheim gegen Stuttgart. Glücklich. Na und. Diesmal habe die "Punkteverspieler" die Punkte eben nicht verspielt, auch wenn auch ich vom Spielverlauf damit gerechnet hatte. Gut so. Und es sind 3 sehr wichtige Punkte, wenn man sich den Spielplan inklusive der Auswärtsspiele gegen die Bayern, Leverkusen und Leipzig anschaut.

ChatGPT is bullshit - Ethics and Information Technology
Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way…
