It's not. The API is different, since GPT-4 is a chat based model, and davinci isn't. It's not a huge difference, but these little sort of things add up.

I've been using the JS version of langchain for a few months now, and despite there being a lot of valid criticism, (especially around the abstractions it provides) I'm still glad …

Arguing that Tailwind is a leaky abstraction for CSS is like arguing that ORMs are leaky abstractions for SQL; hiding the underlying implementation isn't the point of these tools. …

You don't have to host it yourself ;) Beyond that, there are a couple of things that I don't believe bors has. A big one that I built for myself was the idea of supporting "working…

I launched mergecaravan.com to deal with a problem I've encountered at a few jobs in the past. Mostly, I built it initially to scratch my own itch, and to go back to doing more dja…

As a very happy Metabase user, glad to see this. Hope the team uses the money to make the project better while still keeping its open source roots.

I've used StitchData at a startup with AWS Redshift. Pair it with something like dbt for transforming your data, and you have a great match. A little pricey, but totally worth it, …

I was the first engineer hire at a small startup, and have helped our CTO/Co-founder grow the company over the past 3 years. All I can say, is that almost everything that was said …

I think lambda syntax can be a bit cumbersome, but that aside what I really miss is a clean syntax for chaining functional operations. So often I find myself thinking about data in…

While I resonate with the sentiment, I just wish Python would add better syntax for functional programming. Having written a lot of JavaScript lately, I wish Python's built-in func…

Being from Wisconsin, I always get called out for how I pronounce "bag" and "bagel".

I had the same thing happen to me.

I feel like I relearn this lesson at least once a month.

Couldn't help but think the same thing as I read this.

Actually, this exact issue was also an issue in Debian. The bug reports can be found further down in an answer to the same stackoverflow question. It may now be fixed, I'm not sure…

EDIT: Title changed from "Why Python 3 Isn't Being Used More" to "Problems With the Python 3 Ecosystem"

Ubuntu is one the most deployed server distributions of linux, and one of the most battle tested. While this post isn't meant to criticize python 3 (I think the language is perfect…
