I created a python library and called it markpickle. But Mark Pickle is a common name for a person.
I guess I should google library names before I pick them.

@natchouf The name is at least as good as fckeditor
My replies to other tweets show in my feed as if they are standalone tweets. That is misleading.
Come build castles in the sky at LoC:

thinking about repeatable builds... you can rebuild it like you did 2 years ago, but do you? Those libs are insecure & the linter and type checker see bugs you didn't see 2 years ago.
3 degrees from being to hot to go running out side without specific training for #running in ovens. https://readwise.io/reader/shared/01h55tp22cdefmyvrr17m8t1aw
Is it time to announce my candidacy for president? Here is my platform:
- National pop music industrial policy to compete with Kpop
- Federal assistance to pypi to help them create a "favorite packages feature"
- IRS to create tax deductions for work done converting projects from setup.py to pyproject.toml
- IRS to fix/replace their login system which relies on broken face recognition software
I'll post more planks in the platform as I think of them.
Oh, a mastodon instance(s) for all US gov't agencies using .gov domains as verification of identity, for federal, state and local entities.
♡ 2 ↻ 0Oh I forgot about my campaign. I officially drop out and endorse Kamala Harris.
Please donate to the Democrats:
- the DNC
- in your state
- in the swing states
- Orgs like Swing Left and Movement Voter Project that want to make campaign staffing stable and ubiquitious
- the progressive candidates that have a chance♡ 3 ↻ 0
@AlSweigart well that settles it.
#Claude2 so far is better than Bard and on par with ChatGPT.
Maybe don't use Strava if you are a soldier, in a war. I mean unless you're on the other side, then by all means, give our side some targeting info.
I'm disappointed about the limited selection of pizza blankets. Not enough to cater to a picky eater like myself.
@MattHodges !#$!@$# $PLACE. Just the worst.
I set my Alexa to Indian English.
"Alexa! Weather!"
"It is cold today, only 87 degrees, but will warm up to 93."
Today, don't forget to buy all the products that are designed to go straight to the trash:
Trash deodererizers - Who is sniffing their trash, maybe just stop doing that?

5 year rations - too nasty to eat unless a disaster happens & if it doesn't, to the trash!
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=5+year+rations
Plastic forks & knives for your carry out food - Straight to the trash, who wants to use that when there is a real fork in the kitchen drawer?

If you work on a team & if a project isn't split into separate packages, over time all files/classes/modules will eventually import from all other files and all methods will have imports inside of them to get around cyclical imports.
Splitting into packages will make it impossible for child packages to import from parent packages.
@dmenis Did you try ChagGPT's code interpreter? It will write code, run it in a remote sandbox & if it didn't work, it tries something else, over & over.
2nd run in my Saucony Triumphs. They're uncomfortable to walk in, too squishy and shifty. But if I run at about tempo run, they are comfortable. The squishy sole firms up under a foot strike. They shoes will make me run fast because running slow is uncomfortable.
What they remind me of are my Nike Vaporflys, also only comfortable running as fast as I can.
@picardtips People too! Stupid people. And all the other humanoid lifeforms.
Check out the full stack #Python Architect job at my company- I don't see a press release about the contract, so DM me for the contract details. Architect role, so pay is not too bad.
Work for a large library for an app that will be opensource.

@jwildeboer It "cheats" at chess because it can't visualize the grid & makes a lot of impossible moves. However, some guy got chatgpt to play minecraft by giving the AI a radically different UI. I think if the board were described as you'd describe it to a blind person, it would do better. Probably.
If you call it a bad gateway it will internalize it to its identity and it will never improve. "Gateway, you can do better than that"
re: Instagram threads "growth" rate. If an existing app (Instagram) with an existing user base adds a new feature and those users try out the new feature... that isn't quite the same thing as a new app getting new users.
IDEA: software development process for long distance runners. Each cycle is a 5 year planned marathon. After 5 of them you retire. After 12 you're dead. At no point do you have working code, the demo is still 4.5 years from now.
Readwise somehow gets past a lot of paywalls.
@prosewitch False positive/false negative rates are currently somewhere between 5% and over 50%. If you do lots & lots of tests, most (almost all) of the AI texts flagged as AI will be wrong, because at the moment, most text is human generated.
Comparison to a known person's normal writing is probably a better test.

Want to know what sounds like an LLM but isn't? #Running shoe reviews. The hegemonic text says Saucony Triumph is the best shoe for long distance and there are hours of glossolalia about heel drop, foam, toe boxes, etc to back it up.
Is #GroundNews a stealth conservative project? If you can convince people that "batshit crazy" and "our billionaire masters are good actually" is just a point on an opinion spectrum, it normalizes it and gives it a place at the table that it doesn't deserve.
Bat-shit-crazy news is fundamentally conservative because it implies that there is no truth, so might as well go on as we are, paralyzed by the inability to agree on if social problems are real or if solutions could exist. (And going bat shit crazy about fake problems has the same end result, no political action in any realm that matters to the billionaires)

I got #t2 invites. I don't know what their selling point is other than they are trying to be similar to pre-Elon Twitter.
What's better #blinkist or #kindle samples? They seem to serve the same purpose. (also Amazon doesn't seem to know how to do personalized recommendations anymore)
I guess blinkist only makes sense for non-fiction. Unless spoilers are actually okay.

@neurobashing The trick is paying lensa for ~100. About 5% are good. About 30-50% google photos doesn't even recognize as me.
Threads is missing a lot of elements. Has an active celebrity page tho. Maybe I'll get the hand of Instagram if it becomes more like Twitter?
As we move through the taco-space-time, there is a light cone behind you of all the hot sauces that led to now and a light cone to the future of all the tacos you can put hot sauce on. Outside of those cones no hot sauces matter because you can't interact with them.
Send me my Nobel prize to my door, thanks.
Tag searches on Mastodon different servers return such radically different results. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if that's how it is expected to work.

I imported my kindle hinglights into #readwise and I'm marveling at how much I've forgotten about books that I read only 10 years ago
The tech job placement companies that have 2 people pretend to do an interview, with 1 to pretending to talk on zoom & one to do the audio, what is their end goal?
Do they intend the unqualified person to work for 2-6 paychecks & get fired, or is it an overwork "scam" where one person is taking 2+ jobs? In the former case, it is pure scam, employer pays $ for nothing. In the 2nd case, employer gets an real employee, just with very divided attention.
#Gitlab fell over. And I thought they'd login-walled their public docker repo. More likely because everything fell over.
@neurobashing Can't click like because that will just encourage you. Maybe if mastodon has a "impressive but probably reckless" button.
