But nobody go to college specifically training to do CRUD apps. The point is to give you broad training so that you can do CRUD apps and other stuff too . It is a very bad idea to give extremely specific training at scale, because then you

> And people still call them stochastic parrots Both can be true. You're tapping into every line of code publicly available, and your day-to-day really isn't that unique. They're really good at this kind of work.

You didn't write sorting code or assembly code because you were going to need to write it on the job. It gave you a grounding for how datastructures and computers work on a fundamental level. That intuition is what makes picking up min

That's a no-go for advertisers. They need to control their own brand and their image, there're not going to leave it up to chance like "ok so uh just mention us or something and then we'll pay you." They pay for ver

I don't get that part either. That's like saying "the brightest minds have all come together to... build us another thing that requires money." OpenAI is trying to make more money than they use to run ChatGPT. They are g

I do not understand why this is a big deal. There is no world in which ads are embedded in LLM answers, because you'd need another LLM to determine whether the "placement" was correct and included all the information that the

Literally the first thing you will learn in journalism school is that there is no such thing as "objective neutrality". Even deciding what story to cover includes bias.

That's the wrong analogy, because the butcher is giving money to the baker for the bread. If we we fix the analogy, then the baker gives money to the butcher so that he buys their bread with that money . The butcher cannot afford th

That's only for dataclasses, you can't implement your own class like this without implementing it as a dataclass, because the typechecking for it is hacked in as a custom plugin. What I'm trying to point out is that these fea

by phailhaus 1y ago
kwargs are not dataclasses, they are dicts. TypedDict was shoehorned in later to allow typing dicts, but they are so poorly designed that you can't mark individual fields as optional.

> I can’t hold that against the type system. I think we should. Dataclasses have existed in Python for an extremely long time, and yet the type system doesn't support defining your own similar classes. Kwargs have also existed forev

by phailhaus 1y ago
There is no facility in the type system to express the idea that "whatever class attributes are defined, those are kwargs to the init function". That's hacked in using extra typechecker plugins. That's why we're sit

by phailhaus 1y ago
Python's type system is the problem here, which cannot support even the native dataclass pattern and needs custom plugins written for each type checker.

Thing is, there's no such thing as an escape hatch. Either you are working in the reals, or you are working in the complex plane. They don't "solve equations that have no real solution", that equation is either a real nu

Even simpler, complex numbers are really 2D vectors with addition and multiplication defined: a field. There's nothing "imaginary" about that second dimension, very frustrating to see them defined that way because it makes pe

The problem with the dataframe API is that whenever you want to change a small part of your logic, you usually have to rethink and rewrite the whole solution. It is too difficult to write reusable code. Too many functions that try to do too

by phailhaus 1y ago
The DataFrame interface itself is the problem. It's incredibly hard to read, write, debug, and test. Too much work has gone into reducing keystrokes rather than developing a better tool.

Big fan of the columnar topographical sort, most graph visualizations get this wrong and render everything as a "soup" of nodes and edges. With your viz I can tell exactly how far away everything is. It's a bit hard to read t
