In many ways, Claude feels like a miracle to me. I no longer have to stress over semantics or searching for patterns I can recognize and work with, but I’ve never actually coded them myself in that language. Now, I don’t have to waste energy looking up things that I find boring
Conversely I feel that the experience of searching has been degraded by a lot since 2016/17. My these is that, at this time, online spam increased by an order of magnitude
I agree. Their objective is not to build beautiful code but to provide a working prototype
I'm sure every single one of them is capable of writing world class code if they feel like it
Their exploits are world class and their focus is to exploit
I have seen stuff in JavaScript exploitation that I can't even scratch the surface. I feel like I have been playing piano for 15 years and I can't even understand if that a music that is playing
I understand exactly what you are saying. Let me add up by saying python has a beautiful learning curve
In the begging is very simple to churn out code and do wtv you want, but the more you are into it, you start realizing that there are endless possibilities
It's a great language for beginners and even better for experts that just want to solve problems with code without thinking to much about if coding is beautiful or not, or feeling cool, or arrogant about it
Python is used to make fast and dirty experiences. You haven't figured out the answer yet, so no point on building dedicated optimized code which might be useless in end
Almost always, ML production models end up being a binary files of matricial weights. This file can be loaded in wtv language or device you decide to use
I don't think this is a fair assessment of "most ML people"
Some of the biggest distributed systems built today are used for statistical inference or scientific computation
Most "ML people" I know are highly versatile in software, networks and deep hardware knowledge, i.e., essentially they have a very good understanding of what a computer is and what is capable from
Its very naive to think that you can assemble machine learning systems without having a solid understanding of computers and statistics
You know who also likes python a lot? Hackers. I wonder why
We use this in production. This is very good software and easy to self host. Just use Amazon SES for email, S3 for storage and Postgres for database. That's it, you have an email server that costs pennies
