The Atlantic had a good article on this and how it isn't the doom and gloom you lay out above: https://www.theatlantic.com/economy/archive/2025/11/mamdani-... As some of the replies note, it has bee

What a ridiculous statement to make. No wonder the US is in the state it is in. Lets let the ignorant and uninformed decide on policy rather than the scientific community and experts. What could possibly go wrong?

Sure, I don't disagree with that at all. I'd love to see that happen. I was just pointing out that most of the industry is far worse than what I have seen with Roblox personally.

Eh, I dunno. My son plays a bunch of Roblox and has spent a net $10 for a few custom avatar mods. While there is certainly a pay to win aspect for some games within, there is also a ton of "free" games to sift through, and since a

Totally agree. I enjoyed owning my S9+ and even though I was someone who used to root and ROM my older Android phones, I didn't really have any complaints about the Samsung "bloat" some people love to complain about. Even tho

There are pretty decent pet insurance policies responsible pet owners could purchase and pay a monthly premium on. I've used it for my past two dogs and it has been painless and easy to use when I needed to. So it isn't a big $10K

Same here. Then again, I'll never leave Firefox as long as Tree Style Tabs[1] continues to be supported as an extension. It's been a life-changer since I discovered it well over a decade ago and makes every other browser pretty mu

Highly recommend CS61A. Can't say enough good things about it.

The correct interpretation is that relying on tools like MidJourney can be a liability for the exact reason that this can go any which way and the legality issue is rather gray. So the point still stands that many companies would rather hav

I'm surprised at the number of people here complaining about venvs in Python. There are lots of warts when it comes to package management in Python, but the built-in venv support has been rock solid in Python 3 for a long time now. Mos

Lol, I always find it funny when people pretend that Parag is some clueless "management type". I graduated the same year as him from the same school, and he is a ridiculously sharp engineer who has risen up at Twitter the old-fash

The Triangle in NC has in fact turned into quite a tech hub. Lots of tech jobs and lots of employers with more opening shop every day. There are many large employers here like Apple, Google, Cisco, Microsoft, Github, Redhat, SAAS, Epic Game

Gotta love HN down voting this comment that gets to the crux of the problem in OP's original comment. Just goes to highlight the subconscious biases that a lot of predominantly Western devs have when they are totally cool with throwing

I don't believe the interactive REPL in VSCode is IPython. It is just a regular Python REPL from what I have seen. Some of the really nice advantages of the IPython REPL integration in Pycharm (along with a lot of extra legwork and fea

by _coveredInBees 5y ago
You should really give Pycharm (free community edition works just fine) a shot. It has a bit of a steep learning curve getting set up, but it is everything you want both from an IDE and seamless integration with an IPython shell (you can to

by _coveredInBees 5y ago
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I am not looking for a Notebook experience but rather for integration of the IPython REPL shell as the default shell in VSCode so all code is being executed in there and so you can interactively prototyp

by _coveredInBees 5y ago
Agreed. I have exactly the same workflow except I end up using Pycharm with the interactive IPython REPL that it integrates with and graduate code up into modules in PyCharm. I like the variable viewer in PyCharm as that ends up being reall

Thanks for sharing that perspective! It was helpful to get that POV. I agree that a requirement for long lived interpreters and a simpler UX to get up and running probably makes it an attractive option. With VSCode having such excellent rem

I agree with everything you said above and that is exactly how we have always had things at my place of employment (work at a small ML/Algorithm/Software development shop). That being said, the one thing I really don't unders

Excited about this and have been a big fan of iPython since when I started coding in Python well over a decade ago. Might be a little while for switching to v8 due to the minimum 3.8+ version requirement for Python (which I totally understa

I believe that while cloth masks are not very effective at protecting you, they are a LOT better at reducing viral spread if you are the infected party. So it still can be quite effective at reducing overall spread of Covid. That being said

Good to know. I knew Parag (the CEO) a bit from college (we both graduated the same year) and he was a very nice, humble and ridiculously sharp guy. Not at all surprised to see him rise to CEO and honestly, it feels like a much much better

by _coveredInBees 5y ago
The CEO has been with twitter for 10 years and been CTO and actively involved at top-level decisions for quite some time. This isn't some sudden decision pulled out of a hat. Not sure why some commenters seem to have such knee-jerk rea

This is such a weird take and makes me question if you've ever worked in a large company to begin with? I think ICs would much rather be part of a cohesive team with an engaged leader that is advocating on behalf of the product the IC

A big factor there is that demand for Lithium is growing drastically and we don't really have that amount of Lithium pre-mined and ready to be recycled in the first place.

Well, that blog post was rather uninspiring. The winning solution basically amounted to a whole bunch of hyperparameter tweaking using tons of GPU compute on a UNet architecture that has existed for many years now. We've definitely rea

There also hasn't been a precedent for a platform that has a large userbase spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sex workers being abruptly cut off by payment providers with no other recourse to processing payments from their us

I think a factor that they may be concerned about is that there is a large userbase that is spending a lot of money on OF and that they may very well all just move to BTC or some other cryptocurrency based solution to exchanging money. And

It isn't laughable at all. The real problem of FSD is the ridiculous long-tail of scenarios in the real-world that you simply cannot account for or manage well. At this point, Tesla has a huge upper hand because every vehicle in their
