Ukrainian in Berlin.
I was very impressed by TTS in the Perplexity app, apparently it’s Google Cloud TTS. I checked English, German and Ukrainian. The quality is fantastically good for English and German, and quite solid for Ukrainian.
@solomkinmv What is the most painful part for you? Is there a language that is not as painful?
Today was the day when I let Copilot generate tests in a Python project. Results are not perfect, but not bad either. I think 60% is good enough, and it was for sure faster than writing everything from scratch.
Tests were full of wrong imports, also mocking was done in a suboptimal way, and one test just didn't make sense.
Would I use it again? Certainly yes!
I don't understand Telekom's efforts to switch me to fiber optics. They want to sell the same service to the same customer but more expensive, because the technology behind changed. Who would switch? And why would I switch if I pay less now?
@rakyll Do you imagine the future where an LLM manages teams of biological developers? Tell us more, I’d like to imagine it too.
@jankjellin @anneapplebaum @lysol Does the support of same-sex marriage make a fascist less fascist?
@dixel @rakyll I agree that political prisoners are a sign that the situation is not normal. But the notion that a right-wing imperialist is the hope for a better Russia is a joke. He literally organized anti-immigrant nationalist marches and said that Belarus and Ukraine should be integrated into Russia because they were all Russian. He wasn't too different from Putin, except he didn't have the same power.
@MikeElgan Here is one from Sardinia. We were stupid and decided to check. The sign was correct.
@dixel @rakyll navalny didn’t just expressed his opinions, he was a very public person, that translated the same hatred narratives as Putin, was supporting the annexation of Crimea and war in Georgia. Right radical who happened to be in opposition to putin.
`uv` as a replacement of `pip` is just great. It takes 4 seconds to create a new venv and install all dependencies for one of my project without using cache, and it used to take 30+ seconds with cache using pip https://astral.sh/blog/uv
uv: Python packaging in Rust

uv is an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, designed as a drop-in alternative to pip and pip-tools.
