There might be an argument to be made here, but this is a completely different argument than saying "python code is only readable locally" and "Python does not provide the abstractions to build and understand complex applic

It absolutely does. - Typing annotations + mypy can completely help you build and understand a complex system. WIth pyright you can even analyze code that is not annotated. The tooling that enables developers to design and conceptualize t

You are obviously correct, but even if we let aside parent's confusion about strong/static typing, it's a weak argument . Python does provide type annotations and extensive tooling to make static analysis, so this whole &quo

So, the abstractions are there, you just happen to think that the implementations are flawed or limited. This is not the same as claiming they are lacking.

Name one of those abstractions that is missing in Python.

No, that's based on my experience running subscribers-only instances on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix, Funkwhale) for more than 6 years now. I might not have that many users on the servers, but it's certainly a higher num

By buying accounts, you are buying reputation. By paying for the posts, you are maybe paying for reach at first, but (a) it will be costly and (b) it does not guarantee that the reached ones will spread anything further.

Super easy, just make a web-of-trust type of thing: messages are only visible to those who already vouched for you. Otherwise, you pay $0.01/per message/per user reached.

Why do you make it sound like it was a bad thing?
223.
by rglullis 6mo ago
There is no irony: both of them are bad (for different reasons, but bad) and this is not a matter of choosing the "lesser evil". Both of them should be treated as toxic and rejected as strongly as possible.

They are no saints, but at least their solution is actually open source and they can not lock me in like the others can. To illustrate the point, you can replace "Ollama Cloud" with "OpenCode Go" if you want. Or if you p

I cancelled my subscription the minute they blocked access via OpenCode and switched to Ollama Cloud. A bunch of people here tried to defend Anthropic, saying that it was justified because it was likely that Claude Code's harness had o

An eager intern can not be working for hundreds of millions of customers at the same time. An LLM can. A disgruntled employee will face consequences for their actions. No one at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Google or Meta will be fired because

Dealing with real-time on Linux is an issue, yes. It has gotten better with pipewire but still far from MacOS. Everything else I have it on pretty much "just works". I am not a big gamer, but Steam works. Bluetooth works. Wi-Fi wo

This conversation started because someone said "I wish we could get a LInux system running on an Apple hardware, that would be the best of both worlds", and then the first response is to make a defense of MacOS, implying that MacO

If you are willing to give the advantage to MacOS due to the integration with the hardware, then you should only judge Linux when provided on hardware from Linux-centric vendors like system76, Tuxedo, Starlite and Framework.
