In this and the few other instances of open source maintainers dealing with AI spam I've seen, the maintainers have been incredibly patient, much more than I'd be. Becoming extremely patient with contributors probably comes with t

I think it's probably confusing until you understand interfaces, which coming from other languages you might not be familiar with (my guess for what happened in this blog post). If you don't know what an interface is then maybe yo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Error interface means you can display the error as a string, but you don't have to? Like the err.Error() is idiomatic if you just want to display something , but you could also use the error i

Tangential point but why is it that so often these leaving the cloud posts use the word "beefy" to describe the servers? It's always you don't need cloud because beefy servers handle pretty much any bla bla bla https:

I feel like Go is a very natural step from Python because it's still pretty easy and fast to start with. (and if you want to embrace static types, the language starting with them might get advantages over an optional backwards compatib

I like the "does the problem justify the solution's complexity" question. The deserialization performance improvement seems like an actually important benefit though. Also https://antonz.org/go-json-v2/#m

Forcing you to read through your 500 line view controller does have the side effect of you learning a bunch of other valuable things and strengthening your mental model of the problem. Maybe all unrelated to fixing your actual problem ofc,

There's definitely a balance. Someone told me years ago that when they'd look for one bug to try and fix it, they'd realize a bunch of other stuff about their code along the way. You learn a lot by struggling with a problem e

Definitely share your feeling that people move the goalposts from "AI can do it" to "well it would have been able to do it if you used model o2.7 in an IDE with RAG and also told it how to do it in the prompt" ...ok, at

I always felt like crypto is nothing but speculating on value with no other good uses, but there is a kind of motivation here. Say a hash challenge gets widely adopted, and scraping becomes more costly, maybe even requires GPUs. This is gre

Their margin isn't the only opportunity. There's also their administrative costs, and the administrative costs they induce in everyone else (medical, software, legal, whatever) who has to deal with the complexity UHC adds.

A common use of these models is asking for code, and maybe you don't know the answer or would take a while to figure it out. For example, here's some html, make it blue and centered. You could give the model feedback on if its ans
