Perfect! I finally was able to find the cottage cheese shredder that I've been looking for. https://anycrap.shop/product/cottage-cheese-shredder
I like how the product image is um... well-used.

This reminded me, I saw tooltips being a large chunk when I profiled my react app. I should go and check that.
Similarly, adding a modal like this
{isOpen && <Modal isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose} />}
instead of
<Modal isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose} />
Seems to make the app smoother the more models we had. Rendering the UI (not downloading the code, this is still part of the bundle) only when you need it seems to be a low hanging fruit for optimizing performance.
I remember solving this problem before. These are both global components, so you create a single global instance and control them with a global context or function.
You basically have a global part of the component and a local part. The global part is what actually gets rendered when necessary and manages current state, the local part defines what content will be rendered inside the global part for a particular trigger and interacts with the global part when a trigger condition happens (eg hover timeout for a tooltip).
All of our food was alive before we ate it. All calories used by living things are efficient.
Life is an end unto itself. It does not need to justify its existence by the moral code of technocrat materialism. The fact that this discussion is being had on this board in good faith is morally condemning of our worldview.
Since the original point of this chain was a comparison between the energy efficiency of biological vs machine learning, then we need to be trying to understand if the machine is more efficient than the human. You don't need to make some moral or philosophical argument about existential justification to accept that taking a more efficient approach is better, in that it generally enables more life for the same energy.
If the true, total cost of a machine to perform some task is less than a person to do the same task, then the machine should do it and the person should move to do what the machine cannot. This means more energy is available for everything else, living included.
Oh, right i did a conversion wrong. Woops. In any case, a rounding error when talking about gigawatts of generation capacity
We're efficient once we have the energy, sure. How much energy does it take to go from raw sunlight to a calorie your body is actually able to use, and finally to your dinner table?
I'm a software developer, so I type a lot. Typing is very practical for throughput and speed.
But I still make time for writing by hand. I find it to be very valuable, because it forces me to think differently about things and sit with ideas longer. I also find journaling almost impossible to do on a computer but very accessible in a notebook.
Writing by hand is also portable and adaptable. You can write on paper, surfaces, and signs. You can write when there's no power. No subscription is required, it doesn't require firmware updates, and it never has connectivity problems.
I can understand why some people would be willing to say goodbye to handwriting, but it's a skill that I'm extremely grateful for and I would be very sad to see it disappear from the world.
I hate writing by hand the same way I hate walking through deep sand. It's extra effort for the same distance and I'm mentally way ahead of where I am physically.
My biggest takeaway from using AI is that
(1) for my day job, it doesn't make me super productive with creation, but it does help with discovery, learning, getting myself unstuck, and writing tedious code.
(2) however, the biggest unlock is it makes working on side projects __immensely__ easier. Before AI I was always too tired to spend significant time on side projects. Now, I can see my ideas come to life (albeit with shittier code), with much less mental effort. I also get to improve my AI engineering skills without the constraint of deadlines, data privacy, tool constraints etc..
#2 I expect to wind up as a huge win professionally as well. It lowers the investment for creating an MVP or experimental/exploratory project from weeks to hours or days. That ability to try things that might have been judged too risky for a team previously will be pretty amazing.

> it's obvious that they are magic methods and not intended to be part of the public API
Is there an alternative API? No. This is public API regardless of anyone's intentions. Though "it's weird" is really not a very strong argument against it.
Public API refers to the user of the class, not the implementer. You never call __init__ directly. __new__ allows modifying object creation itself for the implementer, but the user of the class will never call it.
If you ever find yourself arguing about the best Python package manager then you've already lost. Just use a real language with real library management. I dropped Python for Go and haven't looked back. There's plenty other alternatives. Python is such a waste of time.
Said unironically in a discussion about local llms and AI models.
You can't regress back to a being a kid just because the problems you face as an adult are too much to handle.
However this is resolved, it will not be anything like "before". Accept that fact up front.
