I guess they got rid of bunch of rockets with near expiration date

Could it be also a toggle to skip/not show any AI-generated content? And all child branches?

I was thinking the "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.txt" is rather special than a proper README :)

Thanks for sharing! Good old README.md in the repo would not hurt :)

Maybe they could, as ASICs in some laboratories :)

Are there any nice TTS models? It could be handy to have them as well.

I wish they published it in a more organized manner.. At the moment all published episodes are mixed with other content of their channel.

Oh, I was very wrong, my apologies!

I was sure this one was for Python from 3.7 up to 3.10. But it is still here.. But as for 2026 it will not stay forever as it was supposed to - there are 2 PEPs which are suppose to fix it in Python 3.14 - https://peps.python.org/pep-0649/ and https://peps.python.org/pep-0749/

All modern AI tools tend to put `from __future__ import annotations` line into Python code which isn't required by recent Python versions.

I guess this is because they all are trained on an intermediate code bases when this was required some times (even at that time the real usage was quite rare).

And now this line is parroting everywhere like a junk DNA :)

LLMs initial purpose is translation from one language to another, nothing surprising they are good in that.
