Strange blog post. Given that it's from a developer of proprietary and paid commercial encoders, the inclusion of their upcoming "aperture-alpha" encoder on the charts that are purportedly about JPEG XL makes this feel like a

Yes, that's essentially the only practical reason.

There are two Graphite companies. The time series DB for metrics (not this) and the stacked diff code review platform (this). Looking at other comments under the post, they seem to have executed a hard AI pivot recently.

For real. I consider myself to be “into Python typing,” and yet I had no knowledge of Zuban before the parent comment and a very faint memory of Jedi.

OpenAI is BYOK-only on OpenRouter, which artificially depresses its utilization there.

To be fair, you do get enums and pattern matching from base language.

4o on ChatGPT.com vs. Opus in an IDE is like cooking food without kitchen tools vs. using them. 4o is neither a coding-optimized model nor a reasoning model in general.

I did work for a Russian financial multinational just before COVID-19, as a native Russian speaker, and it was a free-for-all mess interally. The IT side had a load-bearing, old-school sysadmin type with a personality for heroics.

Aider has been doing that for a long time now, it was the first project to do this afaik.

They have a healthy enterprise customer base, and an engineering team that clearly knows how to work with power users (which OpenAI is bad at).

They have an old-school enterprise sales operation that is doing superb work. Apart from that, ChatGPT's projects are useless crap (can't read other convos in a project; can't generate project documents from a convo), and so

Having experience with digitizing a university textbook in physics by hand, this is a very nice LaTeX guide for everyone interested. One thing worth noting from 2025 perspective that the "default" local setup is most likely going

No, the parent clearly indicates that they consider XeTeX a worse choice than LuaTeX.

Pyright has semantic improvements (and also some differences) over MyPy. As for using the type checker as a language server, it's difficult to go back to “it's compiling” after you've had one stop you from typing bugs out in-

To round out the big 4, there's also Pyre from Meta. I haven't used it myself, as when I last checked it had a low number of PEPs covered, but I've heard some good words for it.

MyPy's rules are reference-grade, being as close to an official spec as we get until the Typing Council is done establishing their moat. To understand shortcomings of MyPy, I strongly suggest reading pyright's documentation for ho

This depends on the model, e.g., the non-entry level Forerunner series watches have had training load-related metrics for a while now. That said, Garmin is mainly a cardio watch, and by extension the Apple training load metrics seems to be

Speaking about strictly PyTorch, it's actually elementary on the distribution side. I know that there are packages which do some weird setup magic at runtime, unfortunately, but pytorch is not one of them. Installing it via the PyPI ge

Unfortunately, installing pytorch via Poetry was not for the faint of heart, last I tried. [1] For example, it used to download wheels for all matching distributions (say pytorch for a few platforms) to get metadata. That would be like a 10

Well, that's my question - I'm not familiar with Rye/uv, and I'm curious to know if it can substantively simplify the workflows that I'm aware of. I simply clarified to pre-empt a potential comment about Docker.

by arthur-st 2y ago
I guess I'll add that this is mostly possible using a Docker-based workflow, but the hope is that one day we could get something more lightweight.

Any ongoing work/plans to follow for cross-platform lock files? This is one concern that would prevent the team I'm on from moving. We do ML work, so I'll use a pytorch-based project for my example. The desired state is that

It’s worth noting that ePrivacy directive is an EU directive, in contrast to GDPR being an EU regulation. Inconsistent enforcement is a feature of directives. The comment on the GDPR though is full-well valid.
