If you think a cryptographically signed image can’t be JPEGed 5 times and shared on Facebook for misinformation then here’s a relevant XKCD for you: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/security.png

No no the invisible hand of the market will fix it, you see. Car manufactures will become so big and pay so many taxes that we could pave every road with rail.

It’s just the lazy/expression part of the API, which is really the bread and butter of polars, rather than just being “replacement syntax” for pandas. This allows you to tap into abstraction that SQL can’t keep up with: import pola

by refactor_master 14d ago
The cool thing about polars is that you can conditionally collect expressions over many layers of business logic, and then compute the result at the end. Doing this in SQL ends up in a hodgepodge of strings and trimmed ends to please the sy

I don't know if my code is just "complex", but I find that Luna on max ignores the surrounding style and completely ignores logical consequences of a change, like just writing `del arg1, del arg2, ...` instead of dropping i

The US does not lead in broad markers of "social good" like life expectancy, happiness index or social mobility, so what exactly is this KPI useful for?

I've discovered so many great artists through Spotify, and been to many of their shows (which Spotify also helps surface with their "Live Events" feature). I regularly get artists with less than 100k listeners in my Discover

Off topic but the way the four “program…” words line up on an iPhone is truly mesmerizing.

Sounds genuinely horrible to program this way. > A Lisp programmer does not need to … Have you even seen R? Jupyter notebooks? The above sounds like a level of insanity beyond that. The problem with checking things at runtime is that it’

Humans usually have ways around that in longer documents eg page numbers, paragraphs, links. If someone gave me a report, in my hands, that said “see ‘it’” I’d also be confused.

Here’s an even simpler take: just embed everything the first time, then track what was changed. Use a cheap model to summarize and clean up the documents/chats with summary and keywords. Unless you have entire libraries of books to emb

Unlike cloud infra in general which offers things like automatic backups, regional redundancy, and effectively unlimited scalability, it seems like the value proposition of cloud LLM gets ever shakier. * Many businesses don't need fron

Wouldn't that cause an awful lot of confusion in practice? Instead of having one being a superset of the other, you now have two almost identical syntaxes, but probably not quite. LLMs have enough problems distinguishing between major

This reads like a nervous breakdown at the thought of having to buy a ticket from A to B. It’s really not that complicated in most countries with functional public transport.

When does it get too abstract? What’s wrong with plotly? Or plotly express? How is yet another JSON spec era-anything?

But your choice of funny variable names is not a craft, and you’re not a craftsman if you think it matters. What matters is extensibility, maintainability and value delivered. I care how the food tastes, not that the chef has a really cool

This reminds me of the Go Grandmaster speaking out after losing to AlphaGo, that the model has no sense of "aesthetic play", as long as it would lead to a win within the rules.

What properties does this have that somehow allows one to essentially predict the market or a proxy thereof, when seemingly nothing else can? Or did I get that part wrong? It might take you from nothing to technically—a-market-fit, but from
