I can see why you’d prefer braces in that case. I actually personally prefer {} over indentation as a matter of opinion, I just see them both as working fine 99% of the time. I’d also definitely take whitespace over some shenanigans like start/end to define scopes.

I don’t understand why people complain about their Python code breaking because it relies on indentation instead of explicit {} syntax. I’ve never had an issue with it and it’s not just because I’m used to it because Python is the only language I use that relies on whitespace like that. I think the complainers just don’t know how to indent properly, which makes me really glad they’re writing in a language that forces them to instead of pushing unreadable garbage in other languages.

Yep. Not always larger necessarily, but close to the same size on average, or maybe a little smaller if the domain is limited and compression can be applied. Not really useful.

That could work in that specific case, but telling the LLM to write code to answer random questions probably wouldn’t work very well in general.

Oh ok :(

As it is now, only people who read about it or live there and try to find the song will ever even know about the block. If Google refused and was kicked out of Hong Kong, just about every single citizen would notice and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom. I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

You need to make sure to remove excess whitespace from the JSON to speed up parsing. Have an AI read the JSON as plaintext and convert it to a handwriting-style image, then another one to use OCR to convert it back to text. Trailing whitespace will be removed.

That’s interesting, thanks

I’m not a huge fan of Maven either. I guess I’m just spoiled by Cargo.

with all the suck taken out.

You still need Gradle, so not all the suck.

No, some guy named Taylor has to train the model for you.

W take. I have no problem with my public comments being used as training data for AI as long as they’re public. I just don’t want some shitty private company to hoard them like they fucking own them when they don’t.

I mean, is C++ any better? Sure, it catches some errors at compile-time, but others can turn into undefined behavior pretty easily.

They can’t catch you if you hide it behind their router so they can’t see it.

Was anyone punished for the gross negligence? Guessing no.

I also think that all consumer hardware should have mandatory open source APIs and, when viable, a way to replace the current software.

Why is it legal to bait and switch people by adding ads after you pay for it? Every single TV should be refunded.

Yeah, it’s amazing at showing you the idiomatic way to do really specific, narrow-scoped things in a language you’re not familiar with… except for when it’s wrong.

I use Codeium and I’ve found it helpful for things like guessing what the next line is if it’s similar to the line I just wrote, but terrible if I’m thinking about how to actually solve a problem and it keeps suggesting wrong answers that make me think about them, realize they’re wrong, forget the solution I was working on in my head before that.

The subconscious is a sudoer, the conscious mind is not.
