Google Docs is OT though.

Isn't the examples not very telling if you can't see the input too? Results look good, but I don't know what the input / what kind of preprocessing what done on it.

I wish that was true. Not adopting technology carries penalties. Almost always enough for it to be a requirement.

Even so, "humans do care about its ethical and moral considerations": whose ethics? enforced how? measured how? you're going to fight efficiency and functionality? good luck.

A bit mean-spirited I think, but not unreasonable. organism: "a system or organization consisting of interdependent parts, compared to a living being". I removed the "living" part of it to allow for a bit more... abstract thinking.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but I disagree a whole lot. The whole problem is that is it inevitable. Technology is an enormous organism. It does not care about the ethical or moral considerations of it. It's a tug-of-war who can use most technique to succeed -- if you do not use it, you fall behind. Individuals absolutely can not shape the future of technology. States can attempt, but as they make use of technology for propaganda and similar reasons -- they are also in a requirement of it. It is inevitable as long as you keep digging.

There is no (serious) baker that use volume for flour. If the recipe uses volume, it is flawed and you should find another recipe.

Every recipe on King Arthur that you linked has weights.

I realize how I sound, but there is a very big difference in a couple of percentages of flour, and you'd definitely mess up a beginner with the difference with the amount of flour.

Uh, definitely NSFW. Did not expect to see porn and other questionable graphic material. I mean, that is what I remember from the "alive internet", so it's not wrong perhaps, but maybe should be flagged as such.

Great to see! Would love to try it, but I depend on graceful updates of configuration (i.e. adding and removing backends primarily). I can't find anything about that. Is it supported, either through updating configs or through API?

It expands further down in the article:

>Pydantic is great, just not everywhere. [...] Not because it’s bad, but because your domain should be pure and independent.

It itches because it should be pure and indepen- yeah I don't know. I haven't had this itch either to be frank.

>I don't have a strong argument for this

I think you do. Have we ever been successful at slowing down technological efficiency?

>If that comes to pass, then what people will do with that technology, and what will change as a result, will be up to the people who are alive at the time.

If it is inevitable that technology will be developed, it is also inevitable that it will be used, and in turn, further technology developed. Technology is an arms race. You can't opt out once you've started. If you do not employ the same technical progress for whatever-- propaganda, profits-- you will lose.

I know you're not posing it as a problem or solution, but I believe pinning it completely on "it's how we use it" is not a valid tactic either.
