Yeah, I would LOVE to see attempts at significant video games that are then open-sourced for communities to work on. E.g. OpenGTA or OpenFIFA/OpenNHL.

Consolidating their lead. I'm getting really excited about the next Gemma release.

Nice idea, good timing. Any plans to wrap this in an MCP? My Claude Code instance should have this in their toolbox.

Bingo. Occam's razor suggests that the WH is again simply trying to force good short-term deals using mobster tactics.

Well written, and very recognizable. I felt pretty much the same as the author at the time of my firstborn. The second kid's birth I don't even remember, haha. I can say that 8 years later the love for the children and my partner

Data point: I have a medium-complexity data transformation use case that I still prefer pandas for. Reason: I can speed things up fairly easily with Cython functions, and do multithreading using the Python module. With polars I would have t

This is a good point. If you're worried about factuality, entropy is generally bad. But creative uses might thrive on it.

This is a well-written article, and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment. But when you compare how much $$$ mediocre but heavily marketed games, and "casino mechanics" games still make, it's hard to blame VCs and executi

Hear, hear. I was especially appalled by seeing aforementioned reactionaries listed alongside thinkers that likely would've pulled this manifested to shreds (e.g. Bertrand Russell).

I'm a very happy user of the app. Love the sankey charts you added. I had a DIY version of that before. Excited to try the self-hosting when I have some free time.

This resonates. I'm currently reading The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus and he, as an existentialist, reasons that life is indeed worth living. Combine that with the utilitarian argument (e.g., Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape), and yo

You should read The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus, which points in the same direction. It even briefly discusses the Dostoyevski quote by the sibling comment.

There are dozens of us! I'd be open to a chat channel or something.

Instead of the Ribbon, don't you think it was rise of tablets that influenced these design changes?

Salesforce culture is actually pretty great. This is largely an apples-to-oranges comparison between a startup in hypergrowth and a giant in recession mode, IMO.

Great answer. It might dissuade people from starting A SaaS company, though, LOL.

With industry-wide layoffs, are you really that confident you can find a new job? The hiring process is already a crapshoot, and now you have much more competition.

Data source? Did you correct for splits and dividends? Why not use returns? Nice idea, but we’re left with so many questions.

The bulk of this post is about your career. You need to find something else to live for. I know, easier said than done… For me, a loving partner, my kids, my own intellectual development, art, other hobbies, full that gap. Hope you find wha

Although slightly depressing, this seems to me the most likely outcome too.

Like every year, a thoughtful and helpful list. Thank you, Tryo labs. I've left the ecosystem for the JVM, professionally, so a nice way to keep up with what's going on in Python land.

But increased leverage doesn't mean your risk-adjusted returns are any better.

Hear, hear. As a European living in the US, this is exactly what I think causes the debate. Thanks for writing it up so clearly.

Try to be more civil, please. And he said "a series mistake", presumably meaning something resulting in a crash. The statistics back him, in that case (1 in 500k miles, someone else mentioned).
