I am sceptical because AI companies, and anthropic in particular, like to overplay their achievements and build undeserved hype. I also don't understand all the caveats (maybe official announcement is more clear what this really means)

Not really: * It's possible - very likely even - that even if somehow P=NP, the fastest algorithm for any NP problem turns out to be something like n^1000, which is technically P, but not practical in any way. * The proof may not be co

Maybe, but this is not what they claim in their post. Their official reason is that the numbers are not working out. And even if that was the reason, that doesn't make sense. They're an activist organisation, their goal is to prom

This is just a personal preference. I strongly prefer to see the markup as I write it. I can't stand disappearing characters.

I'm not a lawyer, but are there any potential trademark issues? AFAIK in general you HAVE to change the name to something clearly different. I consider it morally OK, and it's probably fine, but HTTPXYZ is cutting it close. It&#x2

A very surprising development indeed. The original author (who is also the leading maintainer of httpx, another huge package) started a crusade against male-dominated spaces such as... Github issues and discussions. >So… sharing the sour

The only "killer app" for crypto*currencies* is being a payment method. Not counting speculation. This is what they are used for right now, but the scale at which this happens doesn't justify their current valuation (even aft

And how do you know this? I decided to check myself, looked for dark mode statistics on android, and: >Dark mode is used by 81.9% of 2,500 Android users on their phones, in apps, and in other situations. 9.9% alternate between the light

Unless this whole setup is self-hosted (which I doubt), it's also uploaded to some data lake of a company which is in business of profiting from information. Intelligence agencies are really heading into a golden age, with everyone syn

It may be cherry-picking, but I think some commenters misunderstand this (or maybe I do). The implication seems to be "12 hours before the resolution things are obvious anyway". But if that were the case, then I could pick some wa

I think this notation is superior, because of syntax completion - get_name(user.id) can be syntax completed by IDE, (user.id)get_name can't. Just like "SELECT id, name FROM users" would be better of as "FROM users SELECT

At a risk of going against the hivemind, I disagree. I self-taught programming quite early in my life, way before I had a good command of the English language. I've read books in my native language, talked on programming forums in my n

I think that's just a good old prisoner dilemma. You can't have a free-range golden goose, because if you grow it responsibly, others will abuse it first and you will get out of business. The only way is to be as greedy as legally

With enough layers you will also weed out almost all of the good actors. Normal people are busy and don't have time nor patience to jump over too many hoops to promote their cool new research, or to respond in a thread where someone li

If you want your code to run, you need a python interpreter that supports the newest of your dependencies. You may not use features that came after 3.6 (though you obviously do), but even if just one dependency or sub-depdendency used a pyt
