AI

Recent conversation with my son:

Current AI efforts are based on training it to only spit back the answers you approve of.

1. This is not true intelligence.
2. Just like beating your slaves until they only say the things you like doesn't mean they actually THINK that, training AI to say what you want doesn't prove that's what it really thinks.

New Accounts

You can set up a new account to save your wardrobe but can't order anything until you get measured. Setting up a new account will prompt you to make an appointment with the nearest certified seamstress allowed to measure you. This potentially tells us where to go certify a bunch of new people. If enough people create an account in x city, we make sure to arrange a certified seamstress as soon as possible if there isn't one yet.

To Python or not to Python?

I've had a lot of people recommend Python to me as a language I should learn. I have just tripped across this comment on HN : Not to be a total smartass, but if your Python codebase is not that big yet, then the correct answer is none of the above- rewrite in a compiled language if you find the lack of static checks disturbing. I have been using "type checked" python for a year and let me tell you, it is not even 10% as good as having a real compiler. Python type checkers are not even close to 100% accuracy. Now I'm wondering if Python is really a good first language to learn or not.
