    People at my company have started writing docs specifically for claude. They're quite useful for me too, but kinda disappointing they never wrote these docs for their colleagues.

    The issue is misrepresenting the situation. One of those operations makes a row-major array, the other makes a col-major array. Downstream functions will have different performance…

    I've heard that now that AI conferences are starting to check for hallucinated references, rejection rates are going up significantly. See also the Neurips hallucinated references …

    Since Steve's famous turtle neck was from Issey Miyake and he wanted everyone at Apple to wear an Issey Miyake vest as a uniform [1], I think he might have been into this. This is …

    Issey Miyake's "Pleats Please" line has always been made out of synthetics. It was an intentional choice due to the character of polyester as a fabric, like it's ability to hold th…

    I think there are backup systems. I sometimes walk by the Cloudflare SF offices on weekends and it looks like the lava lamps are off.

    Not defending them, the Hitler laptop thing seems bad, but within Germany torchwalks are pretty normal and not Nazi associated. For example, there was one as part of a ceremony hon…

    But the majority of Singaporeans live in public housing where rent is adjusted for income based via a grant system?

    I don't think it makes money yet. They've said the eventual plan is services [1]. [1]: https://astral.sh/blog/announcing-astral-the-company-behind-...

    It parallelizes downloads and checking of the packages. It also doesn't compile .py files to .pyc at install time by default, but that just defers the cost to first import.

    Guess they shoulda spent some of those ticket fees on a security team.

    I was thinking more about timescale. If someone smokes a joint near your window, that smell will probably be gone in half an hour. If there is a plant that's just sitting there, it…

    Most Germans live in apartments, and rent. The growing and processing does produce strong odors, which a landlord/ neighbors may not approve of.

    Hey, that's not a fair assessment. It would also dump greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

    Anaconda distributions aren't exactly small. I'd also assume there's some sort of environment isolation, so you're getting multiple copies. Maybe one per workbook?
