But it just doesn’t look right. I use a double dash, but most places now convert that automatically to em dash.

I can imagine him just living a hippie life, not putting labels on things, just shagging whomever he felt like.

Kidnapping and locking someone up wouldn’t be a crime on purge day either, but that wouldn’t automatically make it ok to still have them locked up the next day.

Must be a small desk to only fit a draw. Larger ones can fit drawer. Industrial sized ones fit drawest.

If the purge were real there would be a whole industry around purge-proofing homes. Also rental purge-proof shelters.

Paradox of tolerance

But B is true

But quickly banging out a concept, to me, is the big win for python.

For me the best language for quickly banging out a concept has always been the one I’m most familiar with at the moment.

The serial number is on a urinal.

Wouldn’t not ok be at the bottom and very ok at the top?

Same in my company. Acknowledging that you’ve seen the message and are looking into it.

Machine learning, renamed “AI” with the LLM boom, does not simulate intelligence. It integrates feedback loops, which is kind of like learning and it uses a network of nodes which kind of look like neurons if you squint from a distance. These networks have been around for many decades, I’ve built a bunch myself in college, and they’re at their core just polynomial functions with a lot of parameters. Current technology allows very large networks and networks of networks, but it’s still not in any way similar to brains.

There is separate research into simulating neurons and brains, but that is separate from machine learning.

Also we don’t actually understand how our brains work at the level where we could copy them. We understand some things and have some educated guesses on others, but overall it’s pretty much a mistery still.

There’s no technical reason to think we won’t in the next ~20-50 years

Other than that nobody has any idea how to go about it? The things called “AI” today are not precursors to AGI. The search for strong AI is still nowhere close to any breakthroughs.

It’s a popular meme format

That’s up to each individual developer’s own setup. But hooks are a way to ensure uniformity since they apply to all commits.

If there’s a linter with such opinionated rules there should also be a pre-commit hook that auto-formats accordingly.

I zoomed in to read what they’re saying on the bottom right and was disappointed.

It make sense for a wrapper layer to do this and I had to fight against APIs that didn’t. If I make a single HTTP call that wraps multiple independent API calls into one, then the overall HTTP code should reflect status of the wrapper service, and the individual responses should each have their own code as returned by the underlying services.

For example on one app we needed to get user names by user id for a bunch of users. To optimize this, we batched calls into groups. The API would fail with an error code if one of the user ids in the batch was bad or couldn’t be found. That meant we wouldn’t be getting data for any of the users in the batch and we didn’t know which userId was bad either. Such a call should return 200 for the overall call and individual result for each id, some of which could be errors.
