<p>The problem is that it leads to a classic game theory situation - where if you, an informed citizen, know that cops are allowed to lie to you, that the logical conclusion is to never believe a cop under any circumstance.<p>It is deeply hostile and likely counter productive to the stated goals of police departments.<p>There is no way for normal people to distinguish a lawful order given by a police officer from a lie.</p>

<p>While I agree with this in the aggregate and I think this problem is likely to take care of itself for many companies  - I can’t help but be frustrated with it right now.<p>It is unbelievably grating to have colleagues that are plainly over-reliant on LLMs, especially if they’re less experienced. Hopefully the cultural norm around their use gets set quickly. I can’t handle too many more PRs where juniors plug my feedback in to an LLM and paste the response</p>

<p>While they are often used interchangeably, it is not uncommon for people to make the distinction between jail and prison in the US.<p>It can definitely come across as a “Frankenstein’s monster” type of pedantic correction, but they truly do mean two different ideas in the US</p>

<p>A large amount of important Python libraries are still missing a good amount of typing - and dealing with third party typesheds is not a good developer experience. The implementation of types in cpython has also been glacially slow and fragmented.<p>To add to the issue, a huge amount of Python in public repositories is untyped and unversioned- which means that LLMs are pretty bad at getting typing correcting in Python, so the debt is growing much faster than the solutions.<p>I honestly think that the most viable solution at this point for typing is a typescript-adjacent solution for Python. I’m kind of surprised Microsoft hasn’t put one out yet</p>

<p>Sure, but that is the norm for any given game system. Early adopters are enthusiasts who want the latest and greatest and accept that there are few exclusive experiences on the new console. Most hold on to their older system as the catalog of games exclusive to the new system becomes more enticing.<p>There are already a significant amount of mainstream games that do not release on the switch due to hardware limitations. More robust hardware means that many of those games will be able to be ported to the switch 2.<p>I suspect the switch 2 will sell well, but it always hinges on game support over the long term</p>

<p>One would hope they learned from the mistakes of the Wii U - and based on their first release about it, and supporting backwards compatibility, it seems they have.<p>The switch 2, as shown so far is much closer to the original switch’s design ethos than the Wii U was to the original Wii. In a clear marketing mishandling, many people didn’t even know the Wii U was something separate from the Wii. A lot of people thought I was an accessory</p>

<p>No, not even close. Nintendo is not a VC funded startup fighting for their survival. The Nintendo switch 2 is right around the corner and looks like it is going to sell extremely well, after the massive success of the switch 1<p>Patents are not that expensive to file. They are not diverting any meaningful amount of cash flow to this. This is a side activity of a few employees</p>

<p>The approach I took to make entering data in to sheets a little less awful:<p>1. Setup the google sheet<p>2. Create a simple AppScript script that accepts Name/Amount/?Date<p>3. Attach AppScript to the google sheet<p>4. Set up shortcut through the Apple Shortcuts app to ask for the inputs and create a simple POST to the script URL<p>So adding an expense is simply clicking the Shortcut icon and entering in the data. No need to open sheets itself</p>
