Well GitHub Copilot tells me 2040, if I pose everything up to "Answer: " as a Python comment in an empty file. And if I remove the "Question" and "Answer" parts, just leaving the question itself, Copilot gives

Personalized Spatial Audio has me really excited ( https://youtu.be/ux6zXguiqxM?t=2739 ). The idea is to map your ears / head with the depth camera of the iPhone, to create a personal profile. 10 years ago I played aroun

Commercialization of large machine learning models might push the RAM game for the end user up in the not-too-far future. For unified memory machines like the current Apple chips that is, and otherwise the memory on consumer GPUs for the en

There's an inactive Meetup group with 1700 members here: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/berlin-hacker-news-meetup/ I got an email from Meetup recently that it will shut down unless a new organizer steps up.

Not quite! The point of the article is that you don’t need to change the class of obj to override this instance check. If you have a look, ClassA always uses the hook implementation in the examples. And this can be shortened to just using i

Looking in the implementation of the Python version of ABC[0], you'll see that `__subclasshook__` doesn't do any language magic, it just registers the method to be called in `__instancecheck__`. So if you just implement `__instanc

Ah yes, thanks for linking that. So there was a discussion about a conflict with `--verbose` at least; whether to go for the upper case `-V` or completely drop the version flag from the patch. But then: "I do not care too deeply, and i

Wouldn’t the simplest way to punish selling crap be to bump up the years of required warranty significantly, for most product categories?

I don't think I get how that solves the issue: you would have set a fixed cutoff time, where you switch from one window/batch to the next. It doesn't matter when you arrive within the window. But statistically, even for rando

This may be a naive question (I have very little knowledge about building languages and compilers): Would this be possible in Python by introducing a keyword like `final`? Any object, variable, method that is marked final just has to be loo

This is a curious reply for me. I would think that there are very few parts in pandas that could be sped-up by reimplementing them with a compiled language. Pandas is plenty fast for the built-in methods, it only gets slow when you start in

Trying to sign this, I got a 429 "too many requests" when clicking on confirm, and something about 20 per 1 hour. Did I sign, or didn't I? Reloading the page tells me there's no pending confirmation ID.

I came across such a prompt maybe three times total in my life, all of them making GitHub repos public or private, or deleting them. Made me stop completely in my track. So it seems to be very much dependent on what you do day to day.

YouTube app on Apple TV presented me with a dialog to click to update the app because the connection had been lost. Halfway through a video, no less. Of course the button didn’t do anything at all. Not sure where it was supposed to lead.

The license should forbid competing artists to using the artist’s work as well. In fact, no human should come in contact with the produced art, otherwise they might be accidentally inspired by it, thus stealing from the original creator.

Here was a weird one for me, why is numba jitted initialization twice as fast as np.arange, which presumably has a C implementation? In [1]: import numpy as np In [2]: %timeit np.arange(10000, dtype=np.int64) 3.03 µs ± 94.3 ns pe

Neat! I'm using QWERTY International layouts myself, where you can type umlauts and ß with special keys for modifiers (e.g. alt+u on Mac for ¨), but I still think this is a cool tool. Looking through the repo I wondered why you would c

The amount of compute paired with the shared memory and fast bandwidth would make this an awesome fit for machine learning. But for PyTorch, the framework everybody is using now at least in computer vision, there seems to be no support at a

The video makes some good points, but overall it’s very repetitive. Just count how many times the shot of the manual with “call a service technician” is used, always with similar narration, or the one of the finances of the company who make
