Python might take over JavaScript as the most used language after all uv from @astral_sh is one of the biggest upticks in Python developer experience in the last 10 years I've seen so many people struggle with Python distributions, virtual environments, Anaconda, etc. over the years Most newbies don't care about where their Python executables are, why they have to edit PATH, or why they have to activate a virtual environment It seems like uv has fixed this: https://t.co/lgP5btGrbV-
3-4 messages back and forth with o1-preview, and I have a CLI tool to remove debug statements from my code. No need to do a search for import ipdb... and manually delete the lines. Instead just run in your project: $ rmdbg . Written in Rust so it's fast https://t.co/yWuF3mDzUC

This has late 90s Bill Gates/Windows Server vibes tbh Open Thought > Closed Thought

Open Thought > Closed Thought
OpenAI released a new model that “thinks” to itself before it answers. They intentionally designed the interface to hide this inner monologue. There was absolutely no technical reason to do so. Only business reasons
If you try to make o1 reveal its inner monologue, they threaten to remove your access
Because if they let people freely extract this, competitors could quickly use that to improve their models
It seems that AI value creation will be shifting more towards inference-time compute, into Chains of Thought. We might be witnessing the birth of a new paradigm of open vs. closed thought
Impressive as o1 is, the move to hide CoTs is pretty pathetic and reminds of Microsoft’s late 90s Windows Server push. Below is an email from Bill Gates about how he is worried that Microsoft won’t be able to corner the server market. A few years after he wrote those lines, Linux and LAMP came to dominate servers
Now all eyes on AI at Meta and Zuck for their take on o1/Strawberry/Q*/Orion
