Rust CLI with Clap

Types Define Interfaces Types are important. In fact, I'd guess that the expressive type system in rust is the single biggest reason why so many developers love the language. Types allow us to have a contract between parts of the system about our data and how to interact with it. All programming languages have the concept of types, but these exist along several dimensions. Strongly typed vs weakly typed as well as static vs dynamic typing.

Aging-related inflammation is not universal across human populations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-20 22:52:40

Inflammation, long considered a hallmark of aging, may not be a universal human experience, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The research suggests that "inflammaging"—chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging—appears to be a byproduct of industrialized lifestyles and varies significantly across global populations. The findings are published in Nature Aging. Researchers analyzed data from four populations: two industrialized groups—th

Anthropic Let an AI Agent Run a Small Shop and the Result Was Unintentionally Hilarious

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-20 22:41:08

Anthropic ran an experiment where its Claude chatbot was put in charge of a tiny, automated "shop" inside its San Francisco headquarters — and the results were nothing short of hilarious. Despite claims in an Anthropic post that "Claudius," the name given to the AI agent in charge of stocking the shop's shelves, was "close to success," everything about the gambit seems to demonstrate just how bad AI is at managing things in the real world. Dubbed "Project Vend," the month-long experiment was u

Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago

A shortsighted design decision that Elon Musk made more than a decade ago is once again coming back to haunt Tesla. As The Guardian reports, the company's Robotaxi rollout has been a massive bust — due, in at least in part, to Musk's long-ago bet against the light detection and ranging sensors known as lidar, which are hardware that allow cars to "sense" their surroundings far more sensitively than the visual cameras that Tesla is instead using as the inputs for itse self-driving software.
