Not that jupyter's team needed even more respect from the community but damn.

But very platform dependant, so maybe OP is on a browser or OS that doesn't let you do that.

I know it works on Chrome for me, but not on FF.

Plus, left and right arrows rotate the characters since it's keyboard only, but in modern FPS you are used to having them laterally move you and you rotate with the mouse, so your reflexes are off.

     ./ts_sms c "TIL about ts_sms, an LLM based compression system for short text messages (like tweets)."

     ./ts_sms d 夋鷦네樇䶙邁㟪䤣䎧随捋㜁駊
    TIL about ts_sms, an LLM based compression system for short text messages (like tweets).

    >>> len("TIL about ts_sms, an LLM based compression system for short text messages (like tweets).".encode('ascii'))

    The text appears to be a sequence of Chinese characters mixed with Hangul (Korean script). However, as written, it seems nonsensical or encoded and doesn’t form a coherent phrase in either language.

News is leaning more and more into entertainment.

You did have all of this before, but 24h news channel with empty content are reaching new magnitude, fox news types of outlet are getting bolder and bolder, manufacturing facts is now automated and mass-produced, consequences for scandals are at an all time low, concentration of power at an all time high, etc.

It was bad.

It is getting worse.

Except given the noise/signal ratio and the sheer mass of information we have today, the workload is much higher than training for a 42 km run.

The web battle will then happen on this moving quickly, like the news.

This will give immensely more power to the medias, and I fear that a lot given they have demonstrated time and again they can't be trusted with it.

Whenever I read or hear anything from the medias now, I'm now always asking myself "what are their political inclinations? who is owning them ? what do they want me to believe? how much of a blind spot do they got ? how lazy or ignorant they are in that context ? etc."

They killed the trust I had in them so many times I can't get any the benefit of the doubt anymore.

It's exhausting.

Sometimes there is the added burden of an exotic linux distro or a dvorak layout on a specially shaped keyboard.

Now, some devs are capable of handling this. But not all do, I've seen many claiming they are more productive with it, but when compared to others, they were less productive.

They were slow and tired easily. They had a higher burn out rate. The had too much to pay upfront for their day to day coding task but couldn't see that their idealization of their situation was not matching reality.

My message here is: if you are in such env be very honest with yourself. Are you good enough that you are among the few that actually benefit from it?

You open an acccount, you do a kyc, you declare it to the state, and they are submitted to regulations in your country.

Coinbase is an expensive one, but way cheaper than micro strategy, and is from y combinator s12 so you know what to expect.

Deal with an exhange directly, it's cheaper, and more flexible. No wallet to manage, and you can handle a few millions before even having to talk to a human.

Of course you lose a lot of advantages of crypto, but you were going to with micro strategy anyway.

Or buy an etf if you really like your bank.

Although I would argue now is the worse time to buy. You had to buy last year, or wait until 2 years, assuming the halving cycle is still relevant, which I believe it is.

It is expected from most crypto holders that we are not that far from the top and the usual crash back is near.

Some my friends are still in, but have placed their exit orders already. I'm already out with a 500% profit and play it safe.

You may be able to get some more, but it's getting riskier by the day.

And maybe the cycle will break, but it's really not what I would bet on.

more generic

won't work for pdb though

Nowadays, thanks to wheels being numerous and robust, the appeal of anaconda is disappearing for most users except for some exotic mixes.

conda itself now causes more trouble than it solves as it's slow, and lives in its own incompatible world.

But anaconda solves a different problem now that nobody else solves, and that's managing Python for big corporation. This is worth a lot of money to big structures that need to control packages origin, permissions, updates, and so on, at scale.

So it thrives there.

Not saying packaging doesn't have faults, but on it's own, on a good Python setup, it's actually better than average. But few people have a good setup. In fact most people don't know what a good setup looks like.

And here is why bootstrapping is broken: https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-is-the-python-installation-pr...

Django's admin alone is richer in feature than this whole framework.

So the good part of capitalism don't work, but the bad parts do, like concentration of power and ignorance of externalities.

And today, we have reached a tipping point in those, with abuses overcoming people's tolerance for them.

Or worst case scenario, fetch().

But honestly, forms are fine. Not all apps need beautiful animations.

It's better to have great UI, but it's not free.

LLM do Perl well enough, and since 90% of productivity with Perl is earned through small snippets or one-liners (anything bigger is better served with uv init --script), you can just ask the bit you want when you need it. You can even ask the AI to explain the hieroglyphs.

Same with bash, awk or powershell.

In fact, even modern JS frameworks with features that have no equivalent in Laravel/RoR/Django see their appeal diminished because those old school frameworks do the basic so well they are productivity cheat code for essentials.

It's so easy to find people delighting in beautiful hot reload yet struggling for days making Oauth work or having to pay a saas for image resizing while 20 years old tech have that part nailed down.

Because no LLM will be able to replace you for quite a while.
