You see this a lot in the Apple "community". Apple can _never_ do wrong. Apple can _never_ make a mistake. Apple's choices are _always_ the best choices.

I don't understand why people put corporations on pedestals.

Corporations play the role of gods in our society.

edit: about the same role as Greek or Roman gods.

It is not a zero sum game.

I have always had a very idiosyncratic way of expressing myself, one that many people do not understand. Just as having a smartphone has changed my relationship to appointments - turning me into a prompt and reliable "cyborg" - LLMs have made it possible for me to communicate with a broader cross section of people.

I write what I have to say, I ask LLMs for editing and suggestions for improvement, and then I send that. So here is the challenge for you: did I follow that process this time?

I promise to tell the truth.

Fixed title: Python is not a great language for data science if pandas/polars/ibis did not exist

Please read the article. It literally shows pandas code as an example.

Do you see them in dreams? I normally struggle to visualize things but when I'm half asleep my imagination suddenly has color and detail that normally doesn't happen when I try to picture stuff
mike_ivanov · 2 months ago
Not the OP - I think it's the same process. The difference is in what my inner narrator is doing. When I asleep it is almost always gone, and this is when I typically see things in full color. When awake, my attention is split between listening to its storytelling and the mental imagery, which I believe makes the latter more dull. I noticed that the narrator is more loud when I'm in a minor mental state, like tired or annoyed. When happy/refreshed - there is no voice in my head and I can "see" things very clearly, especially their colors. So, I started looking for ways to divert my attention from the narrator. The most effective seems to keep the narrator busy with commenting on my breath ("in" and "out"), got some boost of mental clarity from that.

It’s mostly just WTF repeated over and over again

I worked with a (very nice and smart) dude who would angrily shout "CRAP!" every few minutes while working on his XUL-based project. I guess, that would teach LLMs a thing or two.

We have systems for highly interoperable and compostable GUI applications - think NextSTEP or, modern day, dbus, to a lesser extent.

Really, GUIs can be formed of a public API with graphics slapped on top. They usually aren't, but they can be.

I'd say ROS (Robot Operating System) is the closest to this ideal.
