Apparently (according to a 2023 survey [1]) the median is more like mid-August (14-18) and a couple even start in July :o (Your point is still right though, <5% had started school when the ChatGPT data was collected) [1] https:/&#x

Even assuming it's impossible for a single person to produce something as good as a large team, why would this be "something to be really afraid of"? There will still be demand for high-quality films -- why wouldn't that

As a Python enjoyer, why do we want to shove so much into lambdas rather than just doing an inline function `def`? Is it the fact that you have to give it a name? If so I'd say just using some generic name like `{f,fn,func(tion),callba

My favorite thing about Apple subscriptions is free trials. You can sign up for a trial and then immediately cancel it and still use your full trial period. No nags. No more need to make a calendar reminder "CANCEL X" on the day b

I absolutely loathe those setups in some tiny restaurants where they line up 2 person tables in a row with 6-12" between tables so you can hear the stranger next to you talking more clearly than your partner across the table. Nothing e

Thanks for the response! Sorry for underestimating your background based on what little I had read/heard about you. I appreciate and respect what you're doing.

AFAIK Emad Mostaque is not (yet) an AI expert at all, he's a rich guy (former hedge fund manager) building a business that provides the funding for AI experts to do their thing. Stable diffusion itself was built by a team of academics

Yeah it was more theoretical speculation, probably not doable on Mac (and I don't see Apple adding this feature tbh). I wouldn't be surprised if someone's implemented something like that in Linux though.

Right, it’s definitely still a voluntary feature. What I meant is if you opt in and make it part of your project’s standard build procedure for python code, you effectively get the behavior and benefits of “compile-time type checking” (to t
