Is it really common enough for files not to be annotated with a useful/correct file type extension (e.g. .mp3, .txt) that a library like this is needed?

if it's happening server side they might have had a bug where they are doing naive substring comparison instead of actual domain evaluation

Open source clients and algorithms could serve as a foundation for more end-user friendly abstractions and UIs, that let average users very plainly express (or not express) what they want to see, and who they want to be seen by. Imagine a s

This looks really cool! I'd love to get into more systems-design AoC problems rather than DSA puzzles for a change. feedback: I was a bit confused as to why the answer to the first week was prefilled, was that intentional? Also, the bu

As someone for whom programming first really "clicked" after using NetLogo in a CS class in highschool, I love the idea of this project and the interface! For kids the most important thing is to get them _excited_ about programmin

It seems that you are describing a utopia, where there are no more problems to solve, other than the purpose of our own existence, and the reconciliation of our mortality in our minds. Although I do think that we can get to a point where t

Don't forget that John Carmack is arguably a programming genius, 3-4 standard deviations above average. Most of us can't maintain the same amount/depth of mental maps as he can, so we need tools to help us

That's a laughable price for an enterprise subscription. And the reason is, it's enough for OpenAI to "say" that they're "not going to use your data" - you need a cloud deployment where you can control net

Fascinating work, but also potentially terrifying because the ultimate development of this technology gets rid of the need of sex for procreation, the implications of which I am not ready to wrap my head around...

Americans would love to spend less on health if they could - health is a unique category here, because allowing your health to completely run down to "zero" means you die, which is unique from other markets. Also, someone that spe

Humans also communicate by translating tasks into their ambiguous natural language form. Humans are also vulnerable to prompt injection - imagine having your conversation with your manager be interrupted by a coworker interjecting "You

Another brilliant application of the ever-impressive FFT algorithm. Makes me wonder though, I can't imagine it would be too hard for a tech-savvy threat actor to strip any existing AC hum from a recording, and then apply the hum freque

The main reason an arbitrarily distributed set of compute nodes cannot give you good performance for training a model (even if you have an immodest number of nodes), is that the latency of the inter-node communication will be a massive bott

Your experience is probably in the minority of Python developers. There have been plenty of updates to popular packages + the core interpreter during that time, updates to package/env managers (e.g. poetry). It's one thing if you&

This is a game-changer, because now companies will probably be able to provide the _complete_ context regarding a specific business problem / use case, and have GPT either solve their problem or create useful output. For example, let&#

I'm not making a judgment or claim as to whether the technology is beneficial overall. I was just explaining the benefit of the choice of output being source code rather than an executable.

The benefit here is that the machine can execute what the AI produces, and humans can understand it / modify it if they need to.

When I first joined the company I'm currently working at, I was a bit too focused on elegance, "proper" tooling/structure, and "doing things the right way", etc. For example, I couldn't _believe_ that we u

Is the current state of affairs any better for SAML identity providers? I need to integrate SSO into our app and am also worried about having to write custom code for every identity provider we want to support.

In my experience, if you want _the_ best price-performance ratio for ML jobs, your best bet is CoreWeave. They have great GPU availability and it's a lot easier to scale up/down very quickly than on the popular clouds. I would rea
