So he includes Go in a list of languages that apparently makes development slow and have “a build system that fought you” and then says python was the solution for all that. I think he got it backwards. I have found the Python build system horrific and broken by default while Go just works.

Why we have discussions about sexual orientation on programming languages? Could this really go any worse?

I won't say it is just because of sexual orientation, but more because of the identity politics associated with it.

Not just like "what kind of gender people I like" this kind of oversimplification but it's more about your attitude towards gender stereotypes and roles, for that's what I saw in a more deep connotation.

Cloud providers have incentives to release open source models but for some reasons this happens only in China. Amazon, Azure, Google benefit from open source models because people run them on their hardware.

So there must be a big story for the IPO….Remember that Tesla is still not selling actual/real self driving cars. I would say stock wise it would worth it to gable b/c Tesla did so well but SpaceX is being IPO-ed as it would have already have datacenters in space and ride hailing to Mars

Next year there will be Opus 4.5 level available on open source models so theoretically you may be able to run it locally but in reality it will be too expensive (i.e maybe 2 x max Studio 512GB ram each) for “normal” users.

Does it have the indentation thing? That would be a no go for a lot of people

Only incredibly inexperienced people think indentation in python is a problem.

I have tons of experience with python, possibly more actual work experience than any other language, and I do think the indentation is a bit of a problem. Obviously not a huge one, but still something I wished they had done differently. Because I like to have a robust format-on-save wired into my editor, and you just cannot quite have that when indentation is meaningful.

Use black as format on save and you will never have a problem with that. https://github.com/psf/black

Sure, black's pretty good and definitely better than nothing.

Just wanted to provide an easy counterpoint to the logical fallacy by IceDane.

I must admit that I’ve tried python in my early days and indentation was the main reason why I just didn’t pursue the language further. It felt just brittle and hard to read. Of course if I had be forced I would have probably managed to master it but I had the freedom to use whatever I wanted as programming language and python was just not an attractive option.(despite being seduced by its “zen” and all that. Felt like form over function design.

The “build”/run/deploy system was the other major issue. All the python versions, virtual env etc seemed like a mess. A compiled language is so much better(I.e Go, Rust etc) IMHO.

Yes, I remember having a problem with python indentation. For some reason tabs and spaces were causing my code to fail to run!! This was when I was first learning programming and didn't know anything. Once I understood the syntax of the language it hasn't been a problem ever since. Its like being upset that your yaml doesn't work because you have mixed spaces and tabs.

Seems just as valid as any of the other syntactical nitpicks of other languages, except it touches every line of code you write and it’s unavoidable.

Yes, indeed, indentation is one of the very few things in Python which aren't problematic!

How the fuck could you possibly even possibly begin to validate such a claim. Lol. Asshole.

But eBay is just bad company with a bad reputation. Why would they buy it instead something like Etsy or make their own thing? If you would ask me what are the worst companies from the “old guard” I would name eBay and PayPal as prime suspects.

Because Etsy is not a general second-hand marketplace. Its niche is artisans making small batch items. And making your own thing at the scale of ebay is not exactly a small feat.

I’ve def bought some CD keys off Etsy. They’ll list anything.

Etsy used to have strict limitations on what was allowed to be sold. I'm not sure how effective it was, but since that restriction has been removed, you're right, they'll list anything. Etsy has become a graveyard for dropshipped garbage, and the odd CD key, apparently! CD keys I can get behind.

If by “artisans” you mean “people ordering stuff off Alibaba”.

Sadly that was Etsy 10 years ago but today is a dropshipping front

I think now it would be confused with the lgb** flags

LGBTQ?

Little she knows that if she uses the “self driving” from Tesla she may get into a death trap.

It’s way safer than most human drivers. I use it all of the time.

A FSD vehicle is not supposed to require you to keep the hands on the wheel and be prepared at anytime to take over control. I would say Waymo has a FSD mode while Tesla has a death trap mode with its customers as the beta test drivers.

Do the stats back up your anecdote? iirc Tesla autopilot has some bad failure cases

humans kill ~400/day just in the usa

It’s better than you?

Than on the worst day of your life after your dog died and you didn't get any sleep? Yes.

Maybe you shouldn’t drive that day. Tesla is not FSD. In case there is an accident you are the one responsible. Looking on a photo of your dog while Tesla is ramming into someone? Your day just got worse

Yes. Let me just be sure to make only totally rational decisions like staying home instead of going to a friend's house while I'm emotionally distraught while driving. I'm sure everyone out there is able to accomplish that.

Tesla's, along with most other modern cars, have an AEB system, which hits the brakes if the driver is ramming into something.
