Yeah. Did they want this all along? This will just create more hype, and may push towards significant usage once and when it is available.

Are people using Julia in the industries yet? This looks promising.

New comment by shibaprasadb in "If AI writes your code, why use Python?"

shibaprasadb — Tue, 12 May 2026 10:17:19 +0000

Python is the 2nd/3rd best language for almost everything. So I guess it helps.

New comment by shibaprasadb in "Writers are fleeing the Substack Tax"

Personally, I write to think out loud. And I am not looking to monetize my writing anytime soon. So, I am quite happy with Substack at this moment. I don't have to pay for any hosting or sending the newsletter, and my awesome 90ish subscribers get them!

But if you are a serious professional writer, then there are other better options. For sure. And as someone suggested, owning and hosting your content is absolutely the best way to go!

I love his blog too! Probably overthinking it.

I am not very tech-savvy, mostly into Analytics - DS. I love my Mac. The whole UX is far superior compared to Windows or a Chromebook.

>Your AirPods just connected to the wrong device. Again.

Have these ever happened to someone? I have been using an iPhone for 2 years but have never experienced this.

Show HN: Upload data, run regression, get recommendations – powered by LLMs

shibaprasadb — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 14:06:57 +0000

This web application leverages multimodal LLMs (currently configured to use Gemini) to give business recommendations.

I want to do it for more sophisticated ML algorithms too, but first started with simple linear regression.

> Build something useful. Solve a real problem.

This is the essence of how we should think about building products (or, at the very least, doing some projects). I see so many of my juniors are building "useless" stuff just to participate in the AI hype. Whereas simple and elegant solutions are often neglected.

In a similar boat right now. The org is good. So is the culture. The manager is also good. But the work....! Neither learning something nor finding any alignment. Really confused.
