Python does enable this, actually. __init__.py can act as a "header" file that lets you define your porcelain interface separately from internal interfaces.

I firmly believe Google will release Premium Search at some point. They did it quite successfully with YouTube... One wonders if the popular narrative around crappification of Search is partially self-induced to prime consumers for premiumi

What would lead you to believe that in the last 13 years MS would make the titanic investment of reimplementing their (alleged) Google-based search backend? Given the trajectory of Bing this seems unlikely.

C++ indeed has many gems like RAII, and many turds. My hope is that one of the last unavoidable turds (mandatory header files) gets replaced by modules but that seems eternally on the horizon. Frankly I haven't used C++ since LLM copil

Sure, and most of them are pleasant/neutral pictures -- they could just as easily be from Europe. But the headline and overall framing of these mundane images is not from KCNA, it's from their geopolitical counterparts.

Here's a particularly egregious example from just a month ago: https://theintercept.com/2024/04/15/nyt-israel-gaza-genocide... You can imagine that there are similarly draconian editorial guidelines and

It's called "editorial policy", specifically the editorial policy for international topics. The big mainstream firms like NYT even include the government in their editorial process for high-risk topics, because they don'

Western propaganda apparatuses have strict policies on what is "fit to print" regarding state enemies like North Korea, so you simply are getting a cherry-picked narrative. Reuters could post TFA with the headline "quirky Sca

Most of the new 4-6 story apartment buildings I see going up in USA are all timber frames, at least in the residential floors.

D3 has an unnecessarily non-intuitive API design, and I think that kills it for a lot of people. For example, why must a data join be performed like `selection.data(array).join(element-type)` instead of something like `selection.join(elemen

Having someone to talk to, who is somewhat emotionally intelligent, who doesn't have strong biases against you, and so on... If you are fortunate, you have people like that in your immediate circle, but increasingly few people do.

Why use a LLM for this? You'd definitely want a large model, but this seems like a more straightforward classification problem that doesn't require understanding of language.

Yeah. Suppose Big Bad Chinese TikTok were banned in USA. What is stopping someone from ripping a compilation of TikToks and uploading them to YouTube? How is that any different? It's good that TikTok is bringing attention to this issue

Gold can be a crazy irrational form of money, but how is that different from USD or other (crypto)currencies? Everything is on the table in this moment of geopolitical uncertainty.

The authors are serial fabulists / NATO intelligence launderers, so it's totally possible that pieces of this narrative are outright fiction, woven in with verifiable facts.

If actual evidence were all over the place, you wouldn't be making this comment. The fact is the accurately attributing expert cybercrime is extremely difficult and anyone that implies otherwise is making a fool out of you.

Articles and headlines themselves do not constitute evidence. All we get from your Reuters article is an allegation from the US Government (of Iraq WMD fame), and a denial from the Chinese Government. It's hearsay not evidence. Where

Twitter, Instagram, Reddit also are infinitely doomscrollable, with equally if not more inane content. Vine hit the American streets long before TikTok before it was killed by mismanagement.
