This isn't ai slop. It's fascinating and well written. But I learned something really basic - i didn't know that the ANE (and the data pipeline around it) was designed for CNN rather than transformers. It's always been a

Yank on that thread harder, developers and engineers are not safe just because they rely on different patterns. But once you've toppled the house of knowledge work, you'll find you can rebuild it easily because the foundation stil

Describing NPM as boring is a stretch. Given its security model, i think spicy is a far more apt label. I have switched to pnpm already.

I think the mental model is the right thing to focus on. I'm not denying there are cases where async at the edge of an app can make sense but there's no free lunch and i that doesn't appear to be well understood. Maybe i will

I'm not sure i see it as a hack, but i do feel unduly burdened as a developer by async in python. I feel like there's a lot that i have to think about and i'd appreciate more help from the language. I don't want to be ov

There are so many footguns[1] in async python but it really has stolen the zeitgeist of modern python web. Synchronous django has a lot to commend it. If you deploy it reasonably well (workers, behind a caching reverse proxy etc) it's

The thing that never fails to impress me is when an old timer ham copies a signal that's basically right on the noise floor when all i can hear is static. There was an old chap at the radio club i went to and he just had incredibly wel

Not a good example i'd say given Python's position as pretty much the ultimate glue language :) You'd more likely keep the python shell (and faster developer iteration speed) and push measured hotspots down into c++/rust

The thing that's missing here that really drastically changes the story is all the emissions control hardware that would exist on such an engine. This is a circa 1990s engine in the US market i think? Dual Overhead Cam didn't real

The bottleneck when using a "faster keyboard" is understanding. We have a tool for this in compsci. Not having to fully understand something in order to successfully exploit it is a staple of computer science; we use abstractions

Those bounding box demos are decent. By quirk of fate i've spent the past 2 days prototyping some stuff on pdfjs. Just trying to figure out a game plan for handling bounding boxes in the face of page zooming, different resolutions etc.
