OpenAI acquiring Astral is sending shockwaves through the Python and AI programming communities.
I believe it opens up a 4th way to solve a historic problem: how to fund open source.

Me, to the Sphinx of Thebes:
Wait, that doesn't make any sense. A cane isn't a leg. It's a mobility aid. Also, a human lifespan occurs over multiple decades, not a 24-hour day.
The Sphinx of Thebes, to me:
Okay. I'm going to strangle you now.

abolish the concept of immigration (not the practice): immigration and travel are the same thing.
Chile blocks $2.5 billion mine to protect Humboldt penguin habitat. Chile’s courts have permanently rejected a massive iron and copper mining project near the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve, safeguarding one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems in the Pacific. Chile hosts around 80% of the world’s Humboldt penguins; the ruling protects breeding islands and waters home to more than 560 marine species.

TBH, my first thought when I read the news about OpenAI acquiring Astral was, "there goes my productivity today"

I started watching https://mydramalist.com/803340-chu-san-de-liu-yi-er-tong-jie and there's a lot I don't like about it.
First is the depiction of Kowloon Walled City as "lawless," whereas I have read reports to the contrary.
Second is the incredibly sloppy dialog replacement. Yikes.
Third is the gratuitous, gory violence. Yikes!
I'm not sure how much more of a chance I will give this one. 😳
Code is more expressive than configuration: comparing a sample blog in #WebOrigami and #Eleventy

Third post of four comparing creating the same #blog in two different #ssg systems. Both require code — which kind of code do you want to write?
Code is more expressive than configuration: comparing a sample blog in Web Origami and Eleventy
This post is the third in a series comparing the same sample blog in Web Origami and Eleventy: - Eleventy version: Source code and Demo - Origami version: Source code and Demo This post looks at another advantage of code over configuration: the degree to which you can easily express your ideas without limits.

Woohoo, by skilful manoeuvring, I've managed to avoid one whole era of Python package management, from its inception in the primordial soup of Rust to its demise in the fiery heat of Ai.

And another reason why Python packaging needs to gets fixed upstream. You can't have the languages package management be treated as a thing to be implemented by third parties.
Please CPython, finally learn from node and Rust on how to do this properly.

A state-of-the-art AI agent like GPT-5.4 still can make mistakes about basic concepts in Lean's type theory. I don't recommend using AI agents as one's first source of knowledge. See https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/219941-Machine-Learning-for-Theorem-Proving/topic/gpt-5.2E4's.20partially.20incorrect.20explanation/near/580330953.
@chabulhwiBulhwi Cha You can only make a mistake if you are capable of recognizing it as a mistake, or if at least other consider you should be capable of. Otherwise, it's just an unsupported claim.
LLM engines cannot recognize the true from the false, hence they only make unsupported claims.
It is the user who, facing those claims, can tranform them into statements that have a truth content, in a similar way to when people recognize animals when looking at clouds.

description of food
My bestie: Hey, what are you looking at?
Me: The vegetarian section
Bestie: *looks at vegetarian section, looks rest of buffet, looks at me, looks back at vegetarian section* is that it?
Me: well, there's a pot of soup over there, but otherwise, yes, this is it
Bestie: Sooooo... why are you staring at it?
Me: There were crispy pancakes here earlier, but now they're gone. I've seen a lot of carnivores get food from here, so maybe they have eaten them.
Bestie: Ah. So you're standing guard?
Me: Not really, just waiting, hoping that they'll refill the crispy pancakes
Random guy with a plate full of bbq'ed shrimp and oysters: *walks to vegetarian buffet and takes a couple of spring rolls*
Bestie: Hey, are you vegetarian?
Shrimp guy: Eh. No.
Bestie: Well, this is the vegetarian section. Maybe better if you take from the rest of this gigantic buffet?
Shrimp guy: Ah, yes, good suggestion, thanks! *continues to help himself to vegetarian food*
Bestie & Me: 👁️👄👁️
