Polars seems nice but in my experience using it, the "lazy" APIs would still immediately materialize a ton of stuff in memory and had very spotty support on what data formats and storage integrations were possible with scan_* func

Anecdotally, I know a few people who spent decades working on and/or teaching middle eastern music in conservatories abroad, and they struggle greatly to find music departments in the US who will hire them. A problem I've seen fir

I get the same. It sits there and spins for a bit then as soon as it spits out something, my 5h is 5-10% lower, whether it's asking it to do code review over a significant code base or just asking it to change a config value.

At this school? Big four internships. Consider this a complete squandering of their potential (at least imo) These are mathematicians at top institutions, which is partly why they're being prodded for ideas, and getting the best and br

I think you are ignoring McLuhan's very very famous point ("the medium is the message") which is that new forms of media do more than just allow us to extend ourselves in new ways; they change our mindset by enabling those ne

I wish we could pop a tiny one into my phone so that when I type "Will see you" and swipe the word "later" it chooses that instead of "lasso"

Why a 10% chance instead of 11% or 9%?

Kinda weird because the pure math world doesn't have this concept of "lead authors" like other STEM areas do. Authors are alphabetically listed and there isn't generally this kind of hierarchy.

"Unlikely" lmao if it's in the corpus, it's gonna be brought up immediately. This is no different than scooping them.

Why are you guys talking about Mozart as if you can split the mass adoption of music into pre and post Mozart? Mozart was one of many in an ongoing evolution of European music. The way masses interacted with music varied based on the time a

>I can't believe this is a workable model for mathematicians, either. It already is. Pure math departments are largely service oriented. They exist to teach engineers calculus. They are already spending a great deal of time doing no

No it's not, there are tons of programs in mathematics where you go there, form teams, work a problem as a team that's likely to get a result, and then publish the results from all the groups in the conference proceedings. They ar

A common pattern I see is to build a competitor to a platform people are outraged at and then completely fumble the step of acquiring the hate site's userbase by gating your new one behind an invite only system for months.

I just used it to do a review of a ~100k SLOC codebase that Fable 5 / Opus 5 largely built, cost like $2 and caught some good stuff, but more importantly, it communicated very directly and was pretty light on bizarre metaphors. No &quo

"Load-bearing" is fine to me. I've heard it regularly pre-Claude. It has a specific meaning that conveys in one stock phrase. "Adds color to" says nothing that "Adds detail to" doesn't already say, an
