Hopefully the AI knows how to update Colab to newer Python versions!
We had a couple SWEs move us from 3.7 to 3.10 over the past six months, removing years of tech debt. This comment is dead wrong. We'll upgrade to 3.11 when they push their final regular bug fix release in April 2024. Make fun of my stupid blog post all you want, but my eng partners are awesome!

Having played a bit with coding with AI I like this view, it's powerful, but context will always be an issue, turning real world problems into working code is a skill in it's own right, that will not change, superpowered yes, for me it's all the 'dull' parts of typing stuff out that I look forward to missing, from an early study on impact in the workplace, using a 2 year study of a call centre, the result was large i…
Jesus, this just triggered another nightmare scenario I should have thought of earlier. People are going to have it write and/or comment a function whose purpose is non-trivial and not straight-forward. It will be not or imperfectly checked that the comment actually says what it should and the functionality matches. There will be no indication of what was written by AI, so the only option is to guess that both were w…

Already did, but I accidentally did this once before and appealed and got unbanned some hours later. It's been almost 48 hours since now, so I don't think they're too forgiving for repeat offenses.

I have no dog in this fight - but your actions give the appearance of probing for weaknesses if you already knew this was not allowed from your prior accident.
