Since all input is run through a tokenizer, I would expect the tokenizer space doesn't change a lot between one trained on uncompressed vs one trained on compressed data.
Didn't read the paywalled article. But imo if it's not worth listening at 1x speed, it's not worth listening at all.
If it's entertainment like audiobooks, it's for my enjoyment, so why should it be faster than 1x? If it's for education, everything faster than 1x makes it hard to understand, and if there is too much filler content, I will find another source to learn about it.
I use 1.5x-2x for stuff I have to listen too, but don't enjoy.
It would be a non issue, if the options are not just allow/disallow, but also offer to provide random/fake data, so bad apps would not actually know if the permission is allowed or if the data is fake.
None of Amazon Just Walk Out, Nate or Engineer.ai used GPT-class LLMs.
Pre-ChatGPT (2022)? Sure. Meme applies. Today, it doesn't make sense--the closest comparison for AI's coding output is that of a mediocre offshore IT outsourcer.
I would argue that most of these features (basically everything except metaclasses) are not advanced features. These are simple, but for some reason less well known or less used features.
Metaclasses are however quite complex (or at least lead to complex behavior) and I mostly avoid them for this reason.
And 'Proxy Properties' are not really a feature at all. Just a specific usage of dunder methods.
I do like the else clause with for loops. However most people are not familiar with it, and also `else:` as a keyword is confusing. I always remember it as `no break:`.
That's still confusing though. The problem here is that `else` is semantically attached to `break`, but syntactically attached to the body of the loop. The latter makes it look like it executes if the loop body didn't, if you interpret it in the most straightforward way.
IMO a better design would be to have a block that always executes at the end of the loop - there's even a reasonable keyword for it, `finally` - but gets a boolean flag indicating whether there was a break or not:
for server in servers:
if server.check_availability():
primary_server = server
break
finally did_break:
if not did_break:
primary_server = backup_server
Or better yet, make `break` take an optional argument (which defaults to `True` if unspecified), and that's what you get in `finally`. So this could be written:
for server in servers:
if server.check_availability():
break server
finally server:
primary_server = server if server is not None else backup_server
I hate Win11. It is horrible, but the first few points don't really make sense. I use it in 2 environments.
- enterprise version: no bloatware, no ads, and edge is there but never has to be used for anything
- professional version: bloatware is uninstalled in like 2min after OS install, another 2min later all ads are disabled. And it usually stays like that after updates too. Edge is never used at all.
Windows architecture is great. the WinAPI is better documented and more comprehensive than anything on Linux or Mac.
There are so many other issues.
- The file explorer gets slower and more broken with each update. context menus randomly don't show, or take literally 30 seconds to load.
- The renderer crashes randomly once a week (it's not a huge issue, but the screen goes black for 10 seconds or so)
- the settings dialog is bad. goes through like 5 different layers of Windows generations and recently makes the old dialogs hard to find but doesn't offer adequate replacements (looking at network and sound)
- and much more...
I uploaded a video because no one can show me this alleged slowness or context menu stuff, it's all "vibes" and it is getting ridiculous on hackernews.
I have a huge problem with windows - some api uses "@" for something, so all my folders with @ in the name(it sorts alphabetically before everything and is easy to type - on macos it's option-8 for similar, Linux I use @ as well) and because of that Windows API most applications crasb if you last saved into a path with @ in it and do file->open. Notepad++, notepad.exe, handbrake, VLC, mplayer, and so on.
Its a frustration, but it is my fault for developing a stupid habit back before metadata or changing colors of folers or what ever exists now to force an arbitrary sort order.
