Fair. But there’s even an additional difference between snarky clickbait and “giving the exact opposite impression of the truth in a headline” ;)

I got a PIP because my manager mistakenly thought I was stealing equipment, and he just kept adding agile story points until I failed. I was too pissed off to go to an ombudsman. It honestly didn’t occur to me. It just felt like “this guy h

Never thought of it this way; isn’t it always safe to assume env is in PATH? Maybe `#! env <shell>` could be considered a DSL for hashbangs. My reasoning is that `/usr/bin/env` is the thing that seems to be hard-coded t

This has always been the hardest problem in computer science besides “Assume a lightweight J2EE distribution…”

This is annoying. It’s because errors were designed to be a bitset and not have pointers. I would also prefer that they were a `union(enum)`. We are free to do that as a return type like `Result(T)` and just forgo using `try`, but yeah, I w

This is the most surprising comment to me. It’s that bad? I haven’t benchmarked it myself. Zig has @Vector. This is a builtin, so it gets resolved at comptime. Is the problem with Rust here too much abstraction?

Meme versioning could work. Memes are temporal. You can derive a lot of information about my age and current version from the dad-joke version string “I thought it was 6 7 when 7 8 9”

Can anyone explain the concept of “oddly satisfying” in this context? These drawings are like… cozy or something. Is it nostalgia that I’m feeling?

I am so mad that I spent that much time watching an anthropomorphized bill moving through congress. Useless knowledge. “And we’ll make ted kennedy payyyy “If he fights back, we’ll just say that he’s gayyyy

Yeah it was trained on bullshit more than Faulkner for sure. +1 you.

I talked like that before this happened, and now I just feel like my diction has been maligned :p I think it’s because I was a pretty sheltered kid who got A’s in AP english. The style we’re calling “obviously AI” is most like William Faulk

My tests were always tricky variations on a problem, or the exact problem, which they completely solved in the TA sessions. I couldn’t figure out why I got the first B’s and C’s of my life until I realized that.

I used to think this, but now I feel like anything I write will just be vacuumed up by bots and no human will ever even know about it, unless I include some kind of terms that at least make the work traceable to an artifact. In this aggrega

It might turn out to be unsustainably expensive to vibe code all day. That it was so subsidized might have been the irrational exuberance, which arguably leaves a bait-and-switch hangover. But the general idea of compressing every code exam

It would be pretty on-point though, if the way we detected aliens is when they destroyed themselves.

I love this perspective. I wanted to be Tom Scholz from Boston (though he was an ME, and that was my dad’s music). My junior project in EE was a guitar fx pedal with a shielded breadboard on top. I won’t be bashful, that was the most popula

That’s a good one! Haha From a similar generation all I can think about is Homer Simpson trying to put together a BBQ grill, from only the french instructions: “Le Grille?? What the hell is Le Grille??”

I mentioned subinterpreters. That’s the thing that “makes the GIL optional,” you still have to use subinterpreters. Is this no longer true?

Fair and accurate. But that’s pretty much what people use, right? I am happy to hear stories of using pypy or something to radically improve an architecture. I don’t have any from personal experience. I guess twisted and stackless, a long t

For me, once I wanted to scale asyncio within one process (scaling horizontally on top of that), only two things made sense: rust with tokio or node.js. Doing async in python has the same fundamental design. You have an executer, a schedule

There are two types of people who use python: those who understand statistics and those who write python. I’m happy that python basically took over the role once filled by matlab, and I’m happy that it became the leader in AI dev instead of

I think that we are information hoarders by nature, and that it is mentally taxing to discard something potentially useful forever. So we file it away to relieve that mental stress. We now have the option to retrieve it should it ever becom

The primary cause of reported disease is diagnosis, so maybe they’ll do something about that.

Ok. But then I took it 4 more times. I tried to maximize in any direction, and always stayed within the bullseye center-right. One time I was more computer, but I never made it out of the center 20% radius. Maybe the message is that none of

I have a question. Why do you prefix your package files with an underscore? In fact, you write all of your python like you really have something to hide ;) Like `_Todo`. Where did you get this pattern? (I’m way more curious than accusatory.

I get the sense that people might mean that the transformer paradigm might not scale. But I do not understand the argument that AI in general is hype, and that investing in it is cult-like. It’s just a technology; one that will improve, som

You’re not wrong. I think I initially had higher expectations myself. But as a person who names things, I don’t really find this one to be a huge stretch. > This is like saying an uninitialized integer has a superposition of all possible

I’m someone who should be really excited about this, but I fundamentally don’t believe that a programming language can succeed behind a paywall or industry gatekeeper. I’m always disappointed when I hear anything about mojo. I can’t even fu

I think the metaphor is great. Each tile has a superposition of possible states that collapse into one observed state. That’s all the metaphor is meant to mean, I think. What are better names? - Lego Simplices - Tile Constraint Pairing - Pi
