Well, it's fast. Perhaps "they" want me and everyone else unemployed, but it's not immediate and not particularly certain. However, I can use uv here and now to greatly simplify my workflows, so I use it.
Sure, but these ten characters let you treat columns as values and do math on them, which is super intuitive, in my opinion. I've been using Pandas for quite some time and always kinda sucked at it. One day I decided to…
How is, say, `age = 5; print(f"Age: {age} years old")` not easy for beginners? IMO it's as easy as it gets: you want the value of `age` printed {HERE}, so you just put it where you want it, surrounded by curly brackets.
I'm a HUGE fan of f-strings and I think they should be added to more or less every language in existence. (This is just to show how much I like f-strings, not to be taken literally) `printf`-style format strings seem…
Yes, I'm diving a bit too deeply because I don't really know what "thinking" is and therefore I don't understand how we can so confidently say that LLMs don't think, even though they definitely LOOK like they're…
What's "thinking"? What's "agency"? What's "human-like agency"? If "agency" is making decisions and performing corresponding actions in the real world, then LLMs most definitely LOOK LIKE they're making decisions…
Petition to force everyone saying "you need to read about XYZ" to provide at least 2 sources where one can actually read about XYZ. - If you can't provide any sources, it's safe to assume you don't actually know what…
Yeah, the article reads like they suddenly realized that trees are alive and rushed to make their discovery a law. Look how ridiculous this sounds: > Desrochers' film, called Des arbes et des arts convinced citizens…
Seems like plotnine renders plots using matplotlib and has matplotlib as a dependency: https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine/blob/f6f5cb424f38329c5267...
It seems like the major difference between plotnine and lets-plot is that plotnine wraps Matplotlib (and thus works everywhere Matplotlib is available, but doesn't offer much interactivity), while lets-plot is written…
Well, hopefully this is indeed the case!
Yeah, "they" probably simply have our FaceID data that we're willingly collecting ourselves, supposedly for our own security.
So does this mean that, say, Apple actually doesn't have access to our FaceID data? Otherwise there'd be no need for no laws: just force Apple, Google, etc to share face information with "the government". Well, I guess…
Wait, this isn't real, is it? Is there actually an intermediate model that translates DeepSeek's thinking from its "alien language" into human languages? That's not actually the case, right? I thought "thinking" is…
According to https://github.com/rawbytess/hissab, it's not even close to being an alternative to Wolfram. Hissab is described as "A strict, unit-aware natural-language calculator" and its syntax looks nothing like…
> ...no stable identity to it ... what's doing the thinking? The model (its parameters, its architecture and the inference algorithm) is doing the thinking. That's what we call "ChatGPT" or "Claude": it's the same model…
Yeah, pretty sure the vast majority of people in general doesn't understand what "consciousness" or "subjective experience" even mean or what the brain does. Or it's just me and I'm projecting my thoughts onto others. I…
I'm pretty sure it doesn't misunderstand the original. The original says that the aliens don't understand how meat (humans) can be conscious, have language and be basically like the aliens (thinking conscious beings).…
Initially I thought this was a joke (Julia doesn't seem to be popular enough to be one of the cornerstones of Jupyter, compared to Python and R), but indeed, Jupyter's documentation says it's true: > The name Jupyter…
LLM tell? Inanimate objects and concepts are treated as actors all the time: the series converges, the function reaches its maximum, the sun shines, the wind blows, history repeats itself, words rhyme, interest…
Not this exactly, but IMO they're saying that since the text is presumably AI-generated, it kind of can't be beautiful? Or shouldn't feel beautiful? Or it's beautiful, but... it's AI-generated and thus "bad", not the…
Right, I'm just hyperbolizing to capture the overall vibe of "you may think it's beautiful, but it's AI, so it's actually not good" of three comments here. Didn't mean to put words in your mouth, of course.
Person: finds the article beautifully written. The comments: "but it's AI, so you aren't allowed to think that it's beautifully written!!!!" This doesn't follow. For instance, there are some pictures that I know are…
Right, isn't double descent one of the reasons why modern Extremely Large Language Models work at all? I think I heard somewhere that basically all today's "smart" (reasoning, solving math problems, etc) LLMs are…
I'm not particularly well-versed in philosophy, but what's the dualism here? Of course what a cat _is_ to me is not what a cat _is_ to you, because we necessarily have different memories of interactions with cat-like…
