You better not find out about Protocols in Python then. The behavior you describe is exactly how duck typing / "structural subtyping" works. Your class will be an instance of Iterable if you implement the right methods having

I think the biggest thing is that it doesn't seem to support other formatters. If my project uses black I don't get to have uv format work for me.

This is, broadly, the point I was getting at—you need the "other stuff" for all those bike lanes and sidewalks to be worthwhile. There is a tendency among proponents of walkable cities to downplay the comprehensiveness of the chan

Is it okay if in this imagined town you can safely and comfortably walk and bike everywhere but there is no public transportation at all, the town is sprawling and so very little is within walking distance to any given person, little to no

I mean both languages (and programs) have modules, string interpolation, lambda syntax, and a compiler/interpreter. The only thing they really left out is Promises. And you're iterating over an array so there's no understandi

And yet the topic of conversation is a company that did just that. The AI is just the smoke and mirrors that pushed the business to do it. Staff aren't writing their own call notes anymore. The LLM summary, almost by definition, isn&#x

I mean look, if the customer service department is just trying to frustrate you into not contacting them then AI is just a new tool in the belt for that. Sad, but improvement for them is explicitly worse for you. But if you're actually

How dare the business ask for receipts of value being produced in actual dollars! Those idiots don't know anything.

Why wouldn't it, once you actually have that project you have the raw audio to generate the transcripts. Only spend the money at the last second when you know you need it. Edit: Tell me more how preemptively spending five figures to tr

Press wire to blogspam as a service! There goes 90% of the "content" on news sites that seem to pride themselves on stretching out a sentence of info into 4 paragraphs. I love good journalism because it's adhd crack; in-dep

Because the compartmentalization of business duties means that devs are fighting uphill against the wind to sign a deal with a new vendor for something. It's business bikeshedding, as soon as you open the door to a new vendor everyone,

This does seem to actually, ya know, do the upscaling though instead of clumsily faking it. Like yeah it's AI with AI failure modes but upscaling models are quite good and have less 'weird artistic' liberties than imagegen mo

The bad situation is if you created a VPC with no internet access but the hypothetical automatic VPC endpoint still let instances access S3. Then a compromised instance has a vector for data exfiltration.

I meant the browser shipping the polyfill themselves. I'm in agreement with you.

Even in the age-verification world you were never safe against friends' houses; my parents bought me porn and took me to a sex shop to pick out toys when I was a teenager. I can't begin to tell you how mortifying that experience w

Which is, to me, silly. If you ship the polyfill then there's no discussion to be had. It works just the same as it always has for users and it's as secure as V8, no aging native codebase with memory corruption bugs to worry about

You're describing the sterilization process that's necessary for cheese production, it's crazy intense, but it's also a known quantity that we've been successfully doing for years and years and years. Listeria is no

You don't have to sell it like that. The bill that needs to be passed is default presumption that all websites on the internet not explicitly marked as such and who voluntarily accept a higher legal burden and standard of moderation ma

If that's the trick you object to then you will be sad to hear that Ruby uses it.

I, and everyone else, are doing illegal things all the time. As you point out, that's the nature of our legal system. So it's not terribly persuasive to say, "well are you sure you're not doing anything illegal" bec

Yeah the internet it weird about speed limits for some reason meanwhile the moment you drive on real roads in the US you lean very quickly, even explicitly if you did in-cars in driver's ed, that the posted speed limit is the minimum.

I question the wisdom of even having Optional<T> in a language with nulls. It would raise some eyebrows if a function in Python returned an Optional type object rather than T | None. You have to do a check either way unless you'r

It doesn't replace legitimate source funding but LLM vs the top Google results is no contest which is more about Google or the current state of the web than the LLMs at this point.

You have it right. The problem Anubis is intended to solve isn't bots per se, the problem is that bot networks have figured out how to bypass rate limits by sending requests from newly minted, sometimes residential, ip addresses/r

I'm not sure I understand the philosophical point being made here. The LLM has "watched" a lot of movies and so understands the important parts of the original script it's presented with. Are we not describing how human

I get the feeling this is meant juxtapose the statements Democrats made about the election being very secure in 2020/2024 and how little election fraud is even attempted let alone is successful with the statements Democrats are making

I mean this is more philosophical than anything—if you listened to my conversations but never told anyone what I said, altered your behavior, or took any action based on the information contained therein then how would I or anyone even know
