setuptools, pip, pip-tools, pipenv, poetry, PDM, rye... I love Python and will never stop using it, but it's refreshing to find Python's philosophy of "there should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it&quot

The fact that you need an account (meeting a certain degree of "reputation"-esque criteria) is what makes it (in theory) much more difficult for your neighbor's botnet to vote.

One could argue that a particular question will always have a left/right-ish divide of some kind, even if people may disagree which is which. In many cases on social media discourse, it comes down to pro-establishment vs. anti-establis

True. Who would ever want to live in the US, with their abysmal GDP and lack of innovation. The US is a prime example that people of multiple cultures or ethnicities can't even be in the same city, let alone the same corporation or gov

Yeah, I think it's one of those things where Discord reserves the right to ban anyone using automation on their user account, but in practice they don't take action unless you're clearly doing something malicious or annoying.

Right. In terms of overall end user experience, it wouldn't, and shouldn't, feel different from just getting an ordinary Uber. The real self-driving revolution people have wanted is most/all consumer cars on the roads being s

It seems like it'd be way more sensible and efficient to just make an exception for that particular employee (and maybe some other important ones). Though, in my opinion, the best option is to just let anyone work remotely as much as t

It's just an instinctive aesthetic response people have. There's - as far as I can tell, based on this thread and many other things I've read - no rational reason behind it. It's all "billionaires bad" and &quo

I understand your point, but why the separation of coin vs. non-coin tech? Meaning that the only real guarantee of cryptocurrency is prevention of double-spend rather than a confirmed unique identity?

I don't believe WaPo ever claimed that. They wrote this in October 2020: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/24/hunter-bid... >Insisting that the Hunter Biden laptop is fake is a trap.

Sort of. (I kind of am, or used to be, an audiophile, so I'm naturally very biased on the subject.) Going from low-end to mid-range is a big jump and mid-range to high-end is a modest jump, but high-end to ultra-expensive is typically

It's very odd that AWS doesn't support spending caps. A lot of other services and paid APIs I use have them, and they save me a ton of stress.

The same argument could be used to defend image generation models. (And, personally, I'm favorable to that argument for both.)

Is there really an epidemic of troll answers? Not sure I've ever seen intentionally bad programming advice on reddit. (Unintentionally bad, sure.) Even 4chan of all places is rare in this regard, honestly, and in the cases where it doe

I'm sure I'm missing something, but: aren't there publicly available corpuses of all reddit posts up to a certain date? Why wouldn't researchers train with these? Are they just not recent enough? Even if they aren't

Not to play the exact opposite role of a charitability theorist, but if one assumes OpenAI's founding principles are sincerely held, then that lobbying campaign may be more public good-intentioned than profit-intentioned. Under such a

It seems fairly probable that if this became feasible and an actual thing people were doing, the laws would carve out an exception. Though I guess it might be kind of difficult to prove, since the surrogate mother could just insist she had
