> AI is an inherently anti-social, anti-human technology, and this rewrite is the perfect example of that. This is a very weird issue to be mad about, and can be extended to multiple technologies - if you think about it, from computers t

Why not? I maintain markdown files explaining everything (this is committed). Also the Python code is typed and has detailed numpydoc docstrings.

Not true. The CdA (coefficient of drag multiplied by frontal area) matters far more for range than the weight for range. That is a smaller EV, which may very well be heavier can have a higher range and efficiency.

And you have to apply to get that job. And the vast majority of companies would prefer a US citizen or an LPR for that job, because there is no guarantee that you will get the visa approved.

There are a lot of errors in that article. Like line 1, the idea that foreign students get jobs before Americans do. Quite the opposite in real life. Go to any school, and see the employment rates in that school for US vs foreign students.

I use LLMs for generating documentation- I write my code, and ask Claude to write my documentation

As someone using Python from 2017, there was no uv then, and conda worked fine but was glacially slow.

I have a problem with Python's `Optional` type. For example for this following code: from typing import Optional, Union def square( a: Union[int, float], b: Optional[int] = 2 ) -> float: c = a**b

I used to use conda, but have switched entirely to uv now

I think TypeGuard ( https://github.com/agronholm/typeguard ) also does runtime type checking. I use beartype BTW.

My one issue with uv is that uv publish does not still have a —skip-existing flag like twine has.

I am more and more convinced that type checked Python is not always the best idea. The people who are the most virulently pro type checking in Python are not data science folks. Python's type ecosystem's support for proper type ch

ADHD is also very strongly linked to cigarette smoking, by the way. What I mean is that nicotine is a form of self-medication

True. Honestly they should have taken the second bet in the 2010s and come up with a clean sheet 737 successor. It would have been bold, but the company would have been in far better shape today

I am a bit surprised by the negativity here. Python's ecosystem fragmentation is legendary at this point, and it's lack of portability is well known. Let's face it - a lot of the "ML" applications for the next decad

They are also very good energy storage media. Combine that with zero transmission losses - you can now highly efficient EV powertrains that are significantly more compact. 1000 mile EVs become actually viable. Secondly, superconductors are

Twice. Both were really amazing for my career, and shared some common attributes. - They shared project goals and documents with me from day 1, so all of us knew what the deliverables were - Cared about my development, and were willing to m

This is really not correct actually from an economics standpoint. The perfect inflation rate is not zero, and negative is definitely bad.

Compared to paying lacrosse coaches in Stanford - as if US universities are any better! Your rich dad endows a building in an Ivy and you are in - and apparently it's all good!

As someone who attended both an IIT (as an undergrad) and a top 10 US university (for my PhD) - think of IITs as very selective undergrad colleges in the USA, such as Swarthmore or Amherst. IITs are way more teaching focused than research f

This is a question that has been at the back of my mind for some time. I may be very wrong. I always thought of an interpreter as a translator, while a compiler was a translator and optimizer. So my question - can LLMs do this? They are rea

Disclosure: I own a Mach-E. Except for minor niggles, touch wood, it's been great. The Mach-E and F150 architectures were stop-gaps, and pretty good at that. * One, it still is not completely clean sheet, and thus has a lot of unnecess

Infrastructure is not frozen in amber. It's honestly attitudes like these in the comment above that are the most corrosive to US as a nation. This is a sick disease that has taken root in the American mind, and I don't know what&#

Not really. Our substrate today is silicon (really n-type silicon). We build a city on top of that substrate. Modern semiconductors have become way more heterogenous in recent years. Our gate insulators are not silicon dioxides anymore but

I am at a US national lab, and for a lot of our history, we operated that way, too, where much of our money was fundamentally internal. There was a scientific track and management (money-bringing track). No salary or title differences. But,

We will definitely move to wide bandgap semiconductors fast, where we can run much higher switch speeds (aka clock rates) without overheating
