It is. They are also enshittifying Komoot and EventBrite. Also by default they acquire a company and fire all staff within the week. Fuck Bending Spoons.

Doesn't seem to work very well with flat strings it seems (or I suck at knotting).

I'd say it's just moved from books to influencers on social media. Still plenty of money in misleading vulnerable people.

C'mon, it's the oldest trick in MBA book: make a much-used service paid, make the free version of it terrible and you force people to get the paid service.

> Environmental analysis for operations? Not a fan of thinking in such terms.

Why not? It's about 60 000 London - New York City flights by the way (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/...). And what's the benefit again?

> a hierarchical graph layout algorithm based on the Sugiyama framework, using Brandes-Köpf for node positioning.

I am sorry for being direct but you could have just kept it to the first part of that sentence. Everything after that just sounds like pretentious name dropping and adds nothing to your point.

But I fully agree, for complex problems that require insight, LLMs can waste your time with their sycophancy.

How will people without Python knowledge know that the script is 100% correct? You can say "Well they shouldn't use it for mission critical stuff" or "Yeah that's not a use case, it could be useful for qualitative analysis" etc., but you bet they will use it for everything. People use ChatGPT as a search engine and a therapist, which tells us enough

It's humbling how well-rounded Brian (and other Youtubers such as Applied Science and StuffMadeHere, HuygensOptics) is on top of clearly being a skillful physicist: electronics, coding, manufacturing, ... and the guy is _young_ compared to the seasoned professionals I mentioned in the parentheses.
