How are you finding mypy for your project? I find that I waste a lot of time telling mypy to ignore some library that it doesn't understand, much more than I'm saving by catching type errors (which is never). People add it to proj

It's too early to call it bloat. I think what's happening is that people are experimenting in all kinds of directions right now and only some of them will end up being useful long term.

I don't understand who the "just want to write Python and be done with it" demographic is. If you're a developer, it makes sense to do things well, if you aren't and you're writing small one-off scripts, you ca

Game theory is reasonably interesting with fairly straightforward math.

There's typing in Python. Strong typing even. It's just that it's also dynamic.

It's not that many steps. You already have CI - adding mypy is one extra line, you should already have a way to keep track of versions in your project - keeping track of the mypy version isn't any additional overhead. If your team

In their current state VR and self driving aren’t on the same level of usefulness as LLMs, not even close.

The difference is that GPT-4 is already useful even in its current imperfect form. It’s not a 90% thing that needs to get to 100% for us to use it.

My point was that your calculator (and LLMs) is useful despite not having the same internal representation of things as yours.

While you're at it, throw out your calculator because it has no conception of numbers and doesn't know anything about mathematics.
169.
by jstx1 3y ago
LLMs are tool, the important question to ask of a tool is "is this useful", not "does it work like my brain does". I don't see why you care about the internals, and not about the actual outputs.

Reasoning in behavior - you ask it to explain things and it does; it gives reasons, motivations, nuance, explains connections, clarifies points. That's reasoning.

"more papers use it" != "won" I mean PyTorch is nicer and all that, and so much of the cutting edge stuff is built with it but TensorFlow is still used a lot in many companies.

Yes, developing on a VM with VSCode's remote extensions is pretty similar to using VSCode locally.

I don’t know if this is it. In the UK registering an ltd company costs £12 and takes less than a day. It’s still not a particularly entrepreneurial country.

You have many errors in the tables, for example the pandas indexing is obviously wrong.
177.
by jstx1 3y ago
Also df.loc[1:3, :] doesn't get the first N rows. First because of 0-indexing, second because when your index isn't ordered integers, you'll get completely unexpected results with .loc.

This seems very poor - the comparison is between pandas and DataFrames.jl, not Julia; syntax comparison is very surface-level; cheatsheats are low resolution; the learning curve section says nothing about the learning curve; and the conclus

Plant protein comes along with carbohydrates, you can only have so much until it's not keto anymore. Fiber, schmiber - you need calories and protein to live.

What do you even eat on vegan keto? What’s left when you get rid of animal products and carbs - nuts and plant oils?
