For your goals, I would stick with Python unless you want to learn another language. There's not much value to switch away when all the tools you need are primarily designed for Python.
As far as functional programming goes, with AI stuff, my experience is that you generally are more interested in orchestrating services than FP. For example, run input through model #1, then based on the output, run one of these other 3 models (or multiple of them in parallel), then eventually pass it all back into another service/function to aggregate and format the outputs. You can think of each of these as being "functions", but they're much higher level than what you'd traditionally consider functions in FP and more along the lines of microservices.
You can't go out like that on a regular basis, though.
Absolutely not haha. I've only eaten there once, and while it was good, nothing really beats cooking at home, especially with regards to the budget. Canlis, similar to the other restaurants I mentioned, only really makes sense for very special occasions, and only if your budget allows for it. Everything there can be found for cheaper elsewhere in larger portions, just not all in one place.
I've eaten at 1, 2, and 3 star restaurants and they were all excellent. That being said, most of them were expensive, and I've eaten at plenty of restaurants not on the guide that were also really good.
I think the Michelin guide receives too much attention. I like that there exists a guide for good restaurants, but at the end of the day, that's only Michelin's list. Everyone has different preferences, and a 3-star $1k+ meal at the French Laundry is maybe not going to be as good as a $20 burger combo at a nearby diner for many people.
Since you brought up Canlis - it's good and I'd recommend, but again, it may not be for everyone. There's plenty of cheaper restaurants in the area that you can get just as much enjoyment from without paying as much for a meal. Still, it's a great restaurant for a nice date.
“We had a pretty great setup for Trump,” Coronado said in an interview with POLITICO Magazine, paraphrasing the thinking on the Street. “Why would he mess with that?”
Who would have seen this coming? Nobody would have guessed he'd go nuts with tariffs. It's completely unpredictable. If only he had said he'd go nuts with tariffs during his campaign. Only then could we have possibly known.
Seriously, are these people that stupid? It really amazes me that someone would be surprised at this point that he'd take a dump on the economy and wipe himself with the constitution.
Some of these key findings seem a bit overblown. The number of domains persistently connected to shouldn't really matter - one is enough. Update checks are standard for software. Unique IDs/device fingerprinting are so common that browsers build in ways to try to prevent it at scale. JWTs are standard authentication tools - who's the security concern for? ByteDance? Or are you saying the JWTs are from the local machine? And MessagePack isn't exactly a secret format either.
The TL;DR of this seems to be that ByteDance's AI IDE collects a crazy amount of data and offers free AI services in exchange. I'm not really sure why you'd want those services, especially at the cost of all your code potentially being stolen or other data being collected, but it should be obvious that nothing in this world is truly free.
I'm trying to read up on the differences, but is git switch basically just a newer version of git checkout for changing branches? I haven't had any issues with git checkout before so I'm not sure why it would be an issue.
Doctors can be some of the most discriminatory people, I swear. Diagnosed with anxiety? It's anxiety. Diagnosed with Autism? You wouldn't understand what it is. Are you a woman? It's nothing big.
It took us years of doctor visits until we finally found a doctor outside of our insurance network who spent the time of day to come to the conclusion that my partner's pain and medical issues was most likely a severe case of endometriosis.
Our favorite doctor during that period was one who said they were "in the prime of their womanhood" and that pain is normal. Dang, if it only goes downhill from here, then might as well end it now.
Anyway, I wish all doctors could be like the one who actually spent time to take us seriously and investigate what was going on. It would have saved a lot of money, stress, and pain.
Another way to get rid of piracy sites is to improve consumer protections. Maybe make it possible to actually own high quality media, and do something about the streaming service BS and some content being unavailable through any other means? That might help with piracy.
I say this of course as someone who tends to prefer paying for media, but ran into situations where I literally could not or the process of doing so was not worth the effort.
An alternative could be to use something like postgres with the pgvector extension to do semantic searches instead of just text-based searches. You can generate embeddings for the text content of the story, then do the same for "sci-fi" or something, and see if searching that way gets you most of the way there.
Generating embeddings locally might take some time though if you don't have hardware suitable for it.
SQL is designed for querying (it's a query language lol). If the stories are huge, you can save them to individual files and store the filepath in the database, but otherwise it can hold columns with a fair amount of data if needed.
You can probably get away with using sqlite. A more traditional database would be postgres, but it sounds like you just need the database available locally.
So Florida is officially Frostpunk now? I'm curious if they'll go for safe jobs or all jobs for children. It also sounds like they're picking up emergency shifts. It's not a bad strategy to be honest, especially for the early game.
I'm not sure what you want me to respond with. Do you want me to tell you that you can walk in and demand a compensation at the start of your interview or something? Most individuals don't have the bargaining power to do that. If you are desirable enough that the company wants to pay you whatever you ask for, then sure. Go in and talk about money right away.
For most of us, we are competing with thousands of others for one of maybe a few positions. The onus is on us to prove that we are desirable and will provide value, and asking about compensation first does not usually give that impression.
Can't speak for everywhere, but in the US, if your first questions are about salary, they're going to be left wondering if you're even qualified for the job and if money is all you care about. Even if it is (which is fine most of the time), that's not really the impression you should give if your goal is to be hired.
Asking about salary later on is usually a much better idea. You know whether you actually are interested in working there, the interviewer knows if they are interested in you, and wanting money it isn't the first impression you give.
As for Python - leetcode style interviews are common, but almost always worthless. The only real value the company gets from something like that is to check that you actually can write code. They're pointless beyond that, and a company doing leetcode interviews should be a red flag.
