I think that's a fair opinion, but I'd argue against it being poorly thought out - pandas HAS to stick with older api decisions (dating back to before data science was a mature eno…

Sorry, how is this new pricing anything but honest? They provide an editor you can use to - optimize the context you send to the LLM services - interact with the output that comes …

Thank you for writing this - there is a very clear split you feel when using fastapi for single script web servers, vs trying to organize it. And I probably share all the mentioned…

The speed here is super impressive! I am curious - are there any qualitative ways in which modeling text using diffusion differs from that using autoregressive models? The kind of …

Thank you, my bad - I wasn't aware. I still think what drives languages to continuously make changes is the focus on developer UX, or at least the intent to make it better. So, PLs…

Sorry, I think this comparison is just unfair. Odin might have "shipped" but are there are any projects with significant usage built on it? I can count at least 3 with Zig - Ghostt…

Do you use Jupyter notebooks in VSCode? It uses the same pylance as regular python files, which actually gets annoying when I want to write throwaway code.

You need to request a specific python version compatible with this project. Give `uv venv --python 3.11` a try. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/environments/

I meant Pylance isn't legally available in Cursor (Vscode license restriction, which is justified). It broke very frequently, so I switched to Based pyright, which works but just n…

Yep, exactly that. IMO agent workflows, MCP and tool usage bits are all promising, but the more common usage of LLMs in coding is still chat. AI extensions in editors just make it …

Congrats on the release! I've been using Cursor but somewhat annoyed with the regular IDE affordances not working quite right (absence of pylance), and would love to go back to VSC…

This is pretty neat. IMO a hindrance to this was lack of built-in fixed-size list array support in the Arrow format, until recently. Some implementations/clients supported it, whil…

I see it being a trade-off between how explicit the state persisted for a workflow execution is (rows in a database for Temporal and DBOS) vs how natural it is to write such a work…

I kinda agree with you but I can also see why it isn't that far from "reasoning" in the sense humans do it. To wit, if I am doing a high school geometry proof, I come up with a seq…

> The succeeded operations would skip because workflow has run completion record for same idempotency key. Is that correct? This sounds about right. But you need to make sure the s…

PyArrow string arrays store the entries (string values) contiguously in memory, so access is quicker, while object arrays have pointers to scattered memory locations in the heap. I…

I think that's a little harsh. Imo the reason for difference in popularity/github-stars is just different user bases- an order of magnitude more people use LLM APIs (and can levera…

This looks great! I'd also love to hear from people working on compilers - what are some real/fun/cool problems to work on for amateur compiler writers? Suspect the obvious candida…

I think this is a fine opinion, we like tools that do exactly how much we want them to. But I'd suggest setting up python (and virtual envs) was actually a big headache for a lot o…

For that use-case, you can set up a `virtual project` using Rye. And use it just to create python envs, and sync dependencies. Honestly, the biggest time-saver for me has been Rye …

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo - https://github.com/simonw/datasette https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils So, his code might not be a good plac…

I'm curious where universal forecasting models are most useful. It is technically fascinating but forecasting specifically seems like a domain where you'd want interpretable modeli…

Hi Omar - thanks for engaging here. I have a similar question to simonw, it _feels_ like there is something useful here but I haven't managed to grok it yet, after sitting through …

Transferring state across sdks sound very cool, how do you achieve that? With all the workflows as code frameworks (like say, Temporal), this is what I imagine to be a shortcoming.…

> So anyways, PEP 703 is a a nice effort, but I doubt we (everyday mortals) can enjoy it. I'd suggest we can be more optimistic. There is a lot of python, regular users write daily…
