Yeah, LLMs are bad for a whole different set of reasons than they write bad code

I am mildly concerned about the "normalised deviance" of the siloxanes in the water. It's probably an acceptable amount and it's probably fine, but "eh, its only a bit worse than expected, what's the worst that could happen" is what lost 2 space shuttles

I really like crows and magpies. Crows especially do little hops when they run around and it always makes me smile. I've wanted to make friends with the ones around me for a while but I haven't yet

Not a problem if you're deploying a single file

National Aeronautics and Space Administration if people are still confused, I guess

I don't think I've ever owned any headphones with a long enough cable to plug into my tv when I'm sitting at a comfortable viewing position

Make sure you get one that matches American gauge and isn't one of the the meter gauge mountain trains

Is it pickup only, or do they deliver as well?

Isn't the third one just a sticker?

Isnt the benefit of rust that it's memory safe? Is typescript not?

What is the react compiler written in currently?

You land a plane as part of most flights, I'd say that's not particularly abnormal as an event...

You would create another function that actually works based off that structure, rather than using your first function which operates on a set of bytes in memory. That way it's readable, like they want, and type-safe

I feel like I missed where exactly the parallel part splits. Do they want to make new wires? New fibre protocols? A new TCP/IP stack? Just make another Gopher/Gemini?

This is essentially just a textbook of zig examples. Ziglings is an interactive exercise

If you worked through this and learnt to use zig, your token usage would be even lower!

At least in javascript, it tells you if things are equal or not. In python, apparently you could answer if A is equal to B with "beans" or 17 or ['a']

I can see the first one making sense, but why would you need a representation of equality other than "yes, these are equal" and "no, these are not equal"?

What about the several people worldwide who don't want to use LLMs to program?

> "In Python, any method __eq__ is expected to return bool, and if it doesn't, then we need to explicitly tell type-checkers to ignore the type error. This function in Polars can also return different types depending on the inputs, thus requiring overloads."

Why would you ever want a == b to not return a bool??

EDIT: Yes, I understand that you can do element-wise equality checks on numpy arrays now

Someone call bobbybroccoli, they've got a new video to make :P

I think it is technically marketing material, but if you have to fabricate your marketing material, that's not a good sign that the material is accurate. If I buy a car based on an advert where it shows the car going at 300 mph, and in real life it maxes out at 30mph, that's misleading advertising and something should be done about it.

Given that "at Thermo Fisher, a single vial containing a 0.1 mL aliquot of antibody solution typically costs 400 to 500 USD", you'd want to have accurate marketing material before buying it

If he wanted to get out and sell his stocks, why would he care if it collapses after he leaves? He sells his stocks when the value of the company is still high

If you have a big form to fill in, surely its going to take longer to type in the coordinates of each text box and get the mouse to click them rather than just hitting tab to select the next input element?

Or you could use tab, arrow keys, page up/down, enter...

And if you sell the shares, you get money back. He owns assets that are valued in excess of 800,000 lifetimes of money. If you can sidestep income tax by simply getting your income in assets rather than banknotes, something has gone wrong somewhere

95% over 20 million. Average Joe is never going to see 20 million in his life, so it's not exactly a concern for him. You can adjust the value as necessary to only apply to the top 1-2% or so. You can still have 20 million, and even more on top of that if you keep earning. Just most of that extra money will go back to society instead of being locked away inside a bank account forever

I mean, anything other than "speaks every protocol", which is incorrect unless someone goes ahead and writes a parser for every single protocol. "Many protocols"? "A wide variety of protocols"? "More protocols out of the box that any other product ever"?

I don't think he has the shittiest possible life. Someone trapped in an abusive relationship, suffering from addictions, mental health problems and with financial problems probably has a worse life than the richest man in the world

Also, Elon, Trump and Putin may be the most hated people by amount of people who hate them, but I wonder where they would fall on "proportion of people who know about them who hate them". If a thousand people hate me, I've messed up badly. If a thousand people hate someone that everyone knows, like David Attenborough, that's doing pretty good

I heard a while back that the average person will see about a million of their currency over their lifetime. So we can take a million dollars to be about 1 lifetime's worth of money. Elon is currently sitting on 817,000 lifetimes worth of money.

I feel like we could have like a >95% income tax when you are worth more than like $20 million and it wouldnt actually matter too much to the people who would cap it out? Of course, its a 4000x decrease in wealth for some people, but at that level, when you're getting over 10 million, its basically infinite money anyway. There is no real gain from having 800 billion over having 20 million. What are you going to do with 800 billion dollars? Buy a thousand mega-mansions?
