If you’re going to post a code example, at least check that it works. Here’s your example, with no type hints, giving me errors both from the LSP, and when trying to run via mypy: https://imgur.com/a/Hq5Y5Gt.

You can use mypy and/or Pydantic.

Ugh I can’t find the xkcd about this where the guy goes, “you know what we call precisely written requirements? Code” or something like that

I remember a guy who tied his baby’s rocker to the drive and wrote code to open and close the CD drive repeatedly lol. Fun times.

Get your Vitamin D level checked, just in case.

I think the idea is that behavior that seems abnormal, or a significant departure from your norm might be seen as fraud. I’m not sure what kind of fraud you’d experience in a search engine, but here we are. If I had to make a charitable guess, maybe it’s related to you possibly being logged in somewhere and a fraudster may visit those websites (like shopping websites)? I personally think it’s bullshit with a laughably weak veil of security.

By the way, I love the term, “cognitively bankrupt” lol, I’m stealing it.

Yeah I could never get into either. eMacs bindings feel odd at times, though some are pretty good. I wish I could get into Doom emacs like some others. And gimp…I know how to crop stuff and concatenate images, but that’s it

It also seems to have fixed a major memory leak bug for me, though I’ve only used it for a week or so now. Thank god.

How do they pay back those low-interest loans? I’ve always been curious.

It’s likely transpiring and not compiling, so it’s a lot easier than it seems. Source: made a language that adds features to Python and transpiles to valid Python.

What’s wild to me is how Yann LeCun doesn’t seem to see this as an issue at all. Many other leading researchers (Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Frank Hutter, etc.) signed that letter on the threats of AI and LeCun just posts on Twitter and talks about how we’ll just “not build” potentially harmful AI. Really makes me lose trust in anything else he says.

Research is also fairly AI resistant. You need people coming up with ideas and be able to verify anything AI says, and conduct thorough experiments.

We learn the metric system in our schools. It’s part of our curriculum. We learn it in math classes, we learn it in science classes, we learn about it in history classes as well.

And apparently promptly have an episode of amnesia because every adult here seems to not know how to convert.

Is there research consensus on when children should be given phones? I would personally be very conservative about it, honestly.

No mention of Thunderbird yet??

Oh no. That fits the bill perfectly lol.

I can’t afford one, but I also just don’t want to. I get groceries delivered and can Uber around. I just don’t travel all that much.

I never know how to answer this. I grew up till middle school in Canada and the rest of my school in India. I rarely get dentist with many Indian traditions, but I also didn’t spend enough time in Canada to be a “real” Canadian.

I just flip a coin in my head and answer each time. And then get the follow-up asking where my parents are from. Just ask my race, you coward.

Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.

Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.

They’d have to drop it significantly for most people to buy. If I had a spare $2k I’d upgrade my Mac.
