Do you get REPL? Do you get debugger? Notebooks are between REPL and "proper code" on this spectrum. They can be used even when nobody else sees the results. They are useful for experimentation, to figure out things you don'

Is it just: smarter people look less predictable from a point of view of dumber people. (i.e., there may a perfectly good reason for a smarter person to behave a certain way, it is just not immediately apparent to the dumber one)

People who do nothing is not an issue compared to people who can create issues that may require 10-100 times more time to fix (I've never seen 10x engineer but I've seen those that make their team 0.1 as productive as it could be)

"Let him continue to believe he can hide behind a mask" implies that he can't hide and they know his name. A lie in other words.

You know: uv works, pipenv works (even in 2024), pyenv works, direnv (non-Python but fits my use cases), pipx works, pip-tools work, pip/python -m venv/virtualenv work, poetry works (in its own opinionated way), apt/dnf/

[uneducated impressions:] Sure, it sounds like technicality. It is a shame it is not treated as such. The right solution would be to force government officials to do their job and get warrants on time next time. Just physical access not men

The difference is that you can fix IndexError by modifying your code but no amount of prompt manipulation may fix hallucinations. For that you need solutions outside LLMs.

It is not black or white. Yes, there are issues. No, it doesn’t mean a random comment on the internet should have as much authority as scientific paper. There is a strong background of anti-intellectualism right now. The connection with Gel

It is worth pointing out that compared to * everything else on the internet, science is the epitome of truth, facts, reproducibility, etc. It might not appear so at the first glance due to Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

No sandboxing is not a bug, it is the feature that makes emacs into elisp platform, and not just another editor that has defined API for extensions.

Performance optimization is an excellent example of exactly the opposite. Why thinking first, creating the model of the code, to put a trace, metric, log call is better than mindless debugging. Interactive debugging has its uses but it ma

My point is more general: there may be multiple useful descriptions of “reality” depending on context. It is almost _trivially_ (tautologically) true. Ask two different programmers to implement something and look at what abstractions they
