That’s also why I love duck typing but don’t find it practical. I can only have so much bread lying around.

I think it’s worse at conveying the intention and should be a compile-time simplification (I’m too lazy to check if compilers would do it though).

I’ve noticed for a while that any video from LeMonde (an influent French newspaper) that talks about war in Ukraine is flooded by negative feedback from profiles that all have the same name pattern (firstnameXXXX).

😮‍💨

AI assistant tools probably won’t push us on the right direction for this one. (Or maybe they will by encouraging people not to import a different library for any 6-lines function they need?)

I opened the topic while knowing there will be a ton of super enthusiastic and well-constructed answers. I’m not disappointed 🍿

Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?

It’s a provocation but I’m also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?

My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).

Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.

Is there a competition for the dumbest hat slogan somewhere?

Yeah that’s what the city is aiming at.

It’s also what a vast majority of people is doing for a very pragmatic reason : RER A has the throughput of an 11-lanes highway (you can easily get to this number assuming that when it’s crowed there is a 1500-passenger train departing each two minutes and that 1.5 people per car will comply to security distances).

Sadly not everyone is equal, RER B (north <-> south axis) is overcrowded and has a lot of incidents.

Although, it’s super common to ear that any problem is to blame on her. It’s so common it has become kind of a running gag. “Oh there is a scratch on my car thank you so much Hidalgo”.

Some explanation I heard is that people living in Paris or very close kinda like her (expect the richer right-winged neighborhoods in the west) but people outside of Paris hate her more because Paris might be less accessible by car than it used to be. My own take on this is that it’s bullshit and Paris was never accessible by car, I have very clear childhood memories of my parents looking for a parking spot for more that 15 minutes while swearing they would never take the car to go to Paris ever again.

I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.

What I find surprising is that it was decreasing before, what happened in 2018?

EDIT : oh yeah, Trump’s first term started in 2017, I just didn’t realise that time passes so fast

There is a French saying that perfectly fits current situation :

You don’t need enemies when you have this kind of friends.

Although I don’t know if it’s specifically French.

C’mon, it’s 2025!

no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”

In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍

And I think “vibe” means that they have no experience with programming so they can’t read the code they copy.

At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had french Europeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.

On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.

This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅

If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄

Can we stop benchmarking text generation models on things they’re not designed to do and start educating people on what they actually can do?

Oh no we can’t, there’s already hundreds of commercial services…
