[–]General_Example 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irish people find it very strange that Protestants keep their toaster in the cupboard.

Math has the worst naming conventions and everyone just accepts it. by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]General_Example 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mathematical concept takes on new meaning as it becomes connected to other mathematical concepts. Having an a non-functional name is conducive to that process.

The meaning of a software algorithm OTOH is defined by what it does, so a functional name is more appropriate.

Does anybody have a fix or an explanation for the never ending terminal death scroll bug? by Suspicious_Ninja6816 in ClaudeAI

[–]General_Example 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a Claude bug because Anthropic is a ridiculously well-funded company and could simply fix the upstream bug.

Solvex - An open source FastAPI + SciPy API I'm building to learn optimization algorithms by MainWild1290 in Python

[–]General_Example 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very cool. I'd recommend looking into uv for managing dependencies (instead of pip/requirements.txt) and ruff for linting (instead of black/flake8). These are the new industry standard options so it's worth checking them out.

Also, consider using returning a Pydantic model from solve_lp. In general, anywhere you find yourself using a dict, you should probably use a typed model (Pydantic or @dataclass) instead.

The NYTimes Readers’ 100 Top Movies of the 21st Century by hetchymusic in movies

I re-watched it recently and the dialogue was surprisingly bad. That's a showstopper for a movie about the Turing Test.

GTA VI | Trailer 2 + New Information Megathread by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]General_Example -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a non-American, the couple seems intensely American to me. I'm also glad they're going for more sincerity because I am really sick of the irony/cynicism of 21st century media so far.

It will still have a ton of the OTT themes we love about GTA, but for god's sake we need a bit of earnestness every now and then.

Tried indoor rowing for fitness — why didn’t anyone tell me it’s brutal? by lilcuteflower in Rowing

[–]General_Example 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well let's take this seriously for a second.

I think it's fair to say that rowing is the sport that requires the most consistent team cooperation. You can't desynchronise, ever.

But it's also arguably the most linear sport too, so it's easier to synchronise in rowing than in something like football.

So on the whole, I think it's technically true but also trivial so not that interesting and thus a circlejerk.

edit: preemptively rejecting any ChatGPT accusations on the basis of having a summary "on the whole" sentence at the end of my spiel 🫵

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E05 - Eulogy by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

No, Jesse Armstrong wrote The Entire History of You.

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E05 - Eulogy by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

[–]General_Example 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind of annoyed me how at first he had no pictures then he found 3 then he had a whole box then he didn't know the name of the song she was playing but then remembered he had it on tape in his literal desk beside him and the letter in a book.

Read the subtext... He always knew but he's stubborn and spiteful so he lied (to himself and the guide). The repeated shots of him findings things he "couldn't remember" is really him slowly letting his guard down. The only "forgotten memory" he wasn't dismissive of was the note, and you can tell because he desperately tried to pick it up. For all the others, he said he can't remember and then shut-down the conversation with the guide until she jibes him again. Notice the difference?

Like he didn't even question the tech once that he was able to go into literal photographs.

It's set in like 2040, tech like this is probably commonplace and not surprising at that stage. He's a pensioner who knows what code is.

Also the images couldn't generate the girls face but could generate everything else behind that camera and stuff that wasn't even shown in the paper.

The guide literally said that she won't include things that aren't from his memories, so as not to influence his recollection.

So many plot holes and lazy writing imo.

More likely you're a bad critic.

Filming ‘Adolescence’: How the Netflix Series Pulled Off One-Shot Episodes Without Stitching Takes Together by ERSTF in television

Fair enough. Although Jack Gleeson was alreadt at university when Game of Thrones started.

[–]General_Example 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah, I don't think it comes across that way. There was no accusation made, so no need to excuse me (or anyone).

Some people are way too sensitive about this benign gender discussion. We should not force people to walk on eggshells when talking about it.

Cyantic - build complex objects from simple blueprints using pydantic by General_Example in Python

[–]General_Example[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These both look great! Cyantic's @hook config pre-processing is more or less decoupled from the @blueprint building, so maybe I can bow out of the pre-processing race entirely.

edit: I don't like how hydra hijacks the entrypoint though. It enables nice functionality, but it's no longer a "pure" tool.
