Well, when I’m driving in Kyiv, and there is an air raid alert, usually my car navigation starts to derp, and after a few minutes it thinks that it’s suddenly in Lima, Peru.

Not that I mind too much, I know how to get around without navigation.


It does teleport to Peru but it also fast-forwards time to about a year into the future, which caused my car to think its overdue for that oil change. It even synced that back to the headquarters and I got an email asking me to take it to service.. (and arriving there on the wrong side of the Dnieper, I just decided to wait it out)

Wish we could put it into a manual mode where you just reset it's position once and then it updates based on wheel encoders & snapping to roads.


GPS jamming for incoming drones?


Maybe they’ve left a lot of clearly AI-generated comments. Or even wrote the text of the reply with AI. It’s usually quite easy to tell.


It was a phone call


I've seen candidates make odd pauses followed by oddly "scripted" replies on a call.


Java and Rust have surpassed 1.0 version a long time ago, so they don’t remove features left and right on each feature release.

Not that it’s a bad thing. Python removes stuff, and it takes time to upgrade to new versions.


And Zig has surpassed 1.0 or where is the argument?


Zig has not surpassed 1.0 and explicitly strives to remove features, which Java and Rust don’t do anymore. That’s why it feels different.


What standard does reliably work to drive 8K at 60 Hz and how expensive cables are?

How far away do you sit from it? Does it sit on top of your desk? What do you put on all this space, how do you handle it?

I don’t think you’re maximizing one browser window over all 33 million pixels


HDMI 2.1 is required, and the cables are not too expensive now.

For newer gpus (nvidia 3000+ or equivalent) and high end (or M4+) macs hdmi 2.1 works fine but Linux drivers have some licensing issue that makes hdmi 2.1 problematic.

It works with certain nvidia drivers but I ended up getting a DP to HDMI 8K cable which was more reliable. I think it could work with AMD and Intel also but I haven't tried.

In my case I have a 55 and sit normal monitor distance away. I made a "double floor" on my desk and a cutout for the monitor so the monitor legs are some 10cm below the actual desk, and the screen starts basically at the level of the actual desk surface. The gap between the desk panels is nice for keeping usb hubs, drives, headphone amps and such. And the mac mini.

I usually have reference material windows upper left and right, coding project upper center, coding editor bottom center, and 2 or 4 terminals, teams, slack and mail on either side of the coding window. The center column is about tice as wide as the sides. I also have other layouts depending on the kind of work.

I use layout arrangers like fancyzones (from powertoys) in windows and a similar mechanism in KDE, and manual window management on the mac.

I run double scaling, so I get basically 4K desktop area but at retina (ish) resolution. 55 is a bit too big but since I run doubling I can read stuff also in the corners. 50" 8K would be ideal.

Basically the biggest problem with this setup is it spoils you and it was only available several years ago. :(


That’s still around 2 km per kg of batteries.


You will need dictionaries with millions of tokens, which will make models much larger. Also, any word that has too low frequency to appear in the dictionary is now completely unknown to your model.


Remember booting from that floppy when I was a kid.

The only thing that would be even more impressive, if it also had a running .kkrieger FPS from the demo scene guys!


I haven’t ever used Litestar, but it seems like it would be possible to write your own decorator `@postform` that handles all of form-related stuff.


More updates means more changes and more instability. I have never seen dacite, but it’s pretty easy for a small library to just be complete. If it’s complete, why the need for constant changes?


What’s the story here, can anyone enlighten me? How can they make money being a Python library?

I can stretch my imagination about Astral monetizing their tools, but this one is too difficult


Pydantic (the company) owns logfire, a logging service. There’s a lot of money in logging/observability. The pydantic library itself is not monetizable, as you indicate.
