but have they integrated homebrew, have they made it a first class citizen, have they provided money or something?

the answer is "maybe to some small extent, but not really"

the older talented people are there because of money

there's nothing special about the US, it's money

you think it's shitty, but it's a personal opinion that you're phrasing as some kind of widely accepted view

be sure that it's not, lots of people actually PREFER Android

see homebrew, they could have made this an official thing but no, they prefer to let people work do their work for them and sleep on their mattress of cash

despicable business practices really

capital and talent is the same in this context

there's no shortage of talent in Europe or France, it's just an issue of available capital

incredibly cliché and essentialist view of the world, reads like a bad pseudoscientific self help book from the 90's

he's obviously a xenophobe, that's the opposite of being empathetic

he supports a party that flat out talks about immigrants as parasites, let's not try to paint him and a good guy, it's infuriating

I really wish people stopped saying things "I've been saying that"

why not just say "I think that"

do you see yourself as some kind of visionary about this particular topic? literally EVERYONE is saying that, it's the most obvious fact about AI

tried using zed, didn't understand how to set up claude code integration, went back to vscode where setting up claude code is trivial

crazy how people on hacker news, who just gobble up anything if it's from openai or anthropic suddenly become monocled sceptics when chinese open models are "winning"

it is absolutely a huge deal, I suspect you work daily in python but with a small number of repositories that dont change too often

no, I find Gemini to be the best

what do you mean "catches up"

Gemini has been as good as GPT for more than a year

OpenAI still somehow gets the edge on the initial veneer of hype, and that's running thin

ruff is a blessing as well and soon ty will make type checking so much better (or pyrefly which also seems great)

thanks for this post

it should be repeated ad-nauseam that he is a crook, a shame for the country and its values and that the whole discourse about the injustice of the sentencing has heavy anti-liberal vibes

you're not in the minority, there's just intense fanboyism on Hacker News to promote OpenAI, because it serves the whole "LLM revolution" schtick better

Gemini has been dominating the field for about a year now, but I suppose Google is bit boring cause they just do things well

due to the nature of PDF, none of the tools mentioned here can do things as simple as detecting tables on pages with high accuracy

PDF is absolutely mint for display but it really suffers when parsing is involved

python will be the last man standing with basically no functional goodies

people will keep on trucking with their "pythonic" for loops containg appends to a list that was initialized right before, their disgust for recursion, their absence of lambdas, the lack of monadic return types or containers

remotely related, but I have yet to find a solution for page classification in a document for tables, i.e. a classifier that returns the index of pages containing tables in a document that is reliable

solutions using things like img2table or pymupdf are really bad (pymupdf is not even reliable for text pdfs)

for context, the author is Aaron Patterson of Ruby and Ruby and Rails fame, a proficient C programmer and overall hacker, he knows his stuff

it's funny to observe how picky and cynical the HN crowd suddenly becomes when the disruptive technology is from china

160 comments on this, OpenAI is definitely not the hype anymore

it is pedantic, everyone knows what "node" means in this context

and speed, it's way way faster

the whole event was shit, but we're all past the point where we can just say that, because the technology is now so entrenched that it's become unavoidable, so everything has now to jump through hoops to justify its existence and its greatness

don't you worry, people in the public sector who want everything to be private will make sure that the BLS becomes shit enough that the private alternative will end up being appealing, we've seen that millions of times before

reasoning effort is Gemini's thinking budget from 6 months ago

that line of "someone says something I don't agree with so I will insinuate they didn't read the article" is tired, seriously

an excerpt from the article you pretend I didn't read (which I did)

  But let’s be honest: even throttle-only riding is more active than sitting on a couch

it's also saying things about mental well-being, the sense of community, which I can get behind of course, but there's some sense of course to the bottom in our expectations

your reply is oversimplistic as well

we're now in a world where the youth of developed countries are way more overweight than they were before, because of a radical shift in diet and exercise

upon reading that using electric bikes (that are basically mopeds disguised as bikes, i.e. which do not induce "real" physical activity due to assistance from the motor) are the healthiest thing to ever happen to teenagers, I have the feeling that the title is being a bit over the top

I'm not even talking about being fit or anything, just that actual bike riding (normal bikes) or just walking maybe would be actual good news. I understand that people in hilly areas benefit from ebikes, but is this the majority of the people mentioned here? or is it just that we're all like "well, I guess it's better than staying inside all the time eating doritos"? That's why I'm saying that this is a sign that we've given up, we're counting this as some sort of win, which I don't think it is

so the healthiest thing to ever happen to teenagers is transportation devices that allow them to pretend they're exercising... we've really given up
