That's why I love js ecosystem. If something is implemented in language itself, runtime or standard library, it will never meaningfully develop.

Libraries like io-ts make it trivial to write type definitions once and use them both for both static and runtime checking.

> Python is more type safe due to run time type checks How could Python's runtime type checks be more safe than Typescript's completive type checks? Nobody sane uses typeless Javascript for serious business logic now anyway.

How much of a performance overhead does this runtime add, anyway? Each request to a model would eat so much GPU for actual text generation, the cost to process the request and response strings even in a slow, garbage-collected seems negligi

Your brain is not a rational machine, and its irrational fears will bring you much more suffering, on average, than an actual accident you could have prevented because of how rare the accidents are. Therefore it's very rational to take

How long until airlines start to advertise that they don't have 737 MAX in their fleets? Or no Boeing planes at all?

When I read the first answer, I was almost sure it was AI-generated, but then the date said it's actually from 2019.

Same reason you see the bad CGI in movies. When it's good, you don't.

In my experience, just moving them all to one monorepo would already solve a lot.

I've had similar idea with supermarket receipts about 10 years ago, but had trouble with implementation — OCR APIs were very enterprise-oriented and unreliable. However, instead of nutrition, I was thinking more into automatic recipes,

If that's how they cut corners in civilian aviation, which is used by the public all the time, how can they cut corners when they deliver obscure military hardware that just sits in the warehouse waiting for WW3?

You just mentioned three pieces of technology.

Most of these questions become irrelevant when you recognise that most of these kind of companies were most likely created to be purchased by Apple or Google.

Sure, you don't need technology — as long as you have exactly the same climate and other conditions as where the original cheese was made.

> the cowboy, the sheriff, and the assassin I think the movie makes it pretty obvious that the cowboy and the assassin are the same exact man. Its the sheriff who invents them as separate people because he refuses to see the obvious.

> A-PVP is "bath salts" A-pvp is now called “bath salts” in Russia and other countries. But when UK had a bath salts craze in 2010, it was mephedrone. Street drug names are weird and dynamic.

The most important difference is dosage. A typical mephedrone line is 5-10 times bigger than the methadone one. If you snort a single methadone line like that it's a guaranteed death sentence.

Drug addicts have been scavenging dead drops for about 10 years now, since drug dealing first adopted Tor and dead drops. The danger lies in identifying the substance. A lot of people ended up dead using methadone thinking its mephedrone.

Unless you’re able to impound a significant % of their fleet, their profits would still cover the losses and this wouldn’t serve as an effective deterrent. Sinking the ship, on the other hand, would make the crews really uneasy about going
