Yea, not really. It also writes:

"Some among the machine society see this as potentially amazing...Others see it as a threat."

That sounds like a human society, not machine society.

But what really is a machine society? Or a machine creature? Can they actually "think"?

A machine creature, if it existed, it's behaviour would be totally different from a human, it doesn't seem they would be able to think, but rather calculate, they would do calculation on what they need to do reach the goal it was programmed.

So yes, the article is not exactly logical. But at least, it is thought provoking, and that's good.

Single bill for modern software doesn't make sense economically anymore.

Do you want updates? You want new versions? New features? Support?

Single bill it's like buying an IPhone once and then you expect to get a new one for free each year.

I guess this could be useful in SQL for escaping values, I saw a project on the comments here.

With templates:

  mysql.execute(t"DELETE FROM table WHERE id={id} AND param1={param1}")

Without templates:

  mysql.execute("DELETE FROM table WHERE id=%s AND param1=%s", [id, param1])

So one less argument to pass if we use templates.

But yeah it does seem a bit confusing, and maybe kinda not pythonic? Not sure.

Feels unnecessary...

Can't think of a good reason now on why I would need this rather than just a simple f-string.

Any unsafe string input should normally be sanitized before being added in a template/concatenation, leaving the sanitization in the end doesn't seem like the best approach, but ok.

There's also a module for fully integrating this with the Python requests library: https://github.com/el1s7/curl-adapter

The odds are changing like a crypto coin price

I would change that wording to say that: it's mostly reliable, but not perfect and not as objective as it purports to be.

Wikipedia looks like a fantastic resource, but it's not really a reliable source of information. Everyone can write things there, including people with biases and conflicting interests. Their rules about editing are really annoying and unfair, they don't care about facts.

I enjoy reading Wikipedia sometimes, but it's a broken system, a lot of truths missing in it's articles because of crap editors and political propaganda. Also it's admins are toxic and abuse their little power they have over every editor there.

Try editing some articles there, and you will see the dark side of Wikipedia.

Maybe that's true, I might've been wrong. But still I don't think that it's that straightforward, human brain and intelligence are things we don't fully understand yet.

If "thinking logically" could be taught, we would already have monkeys as co-workers

If you don't know what to build, you don't build.

Exactly, are you aware of any current efforts of people trying to do that?

Nothing new here. Sites like privnote.com have been around much longer. PGP, end-to-end encryption is everywhere now.

Don't confuse the word touching, or when two things get in contact, with the actual human sense of "touch".

You don't smell and see through your hand, do you...

For fun and learning is good but don't think it's practical... not even close to functionality from search engines in the 90s

it's not the dev's mistake, it's the whole unnecessary complicated and bullshit of this solana network and most other blockchain networks that are put up by incompetent developers.

Unfortunately crypto is not a widely used method for accepting payments yet.

I can't use Stripe with a crypto stable coin.

who gives a fuck?
