John David Pressman @jdp.extropian.net · 25/09/2026This is true but tbh the Python grammar is one of my favorites? It's compact and has extremely regular structure, I didn't fully appreciate how good it is until I had to specify it in some CFG framework and noticed a naive implementation has way fewer edge cases to resolve than other languages. 1182
Reposted by John David PressmanWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’ll say it; I think this is bad. I think there’s growing pressure to talk about AI in this kind of coded language that destroys understanding, rather than facilitating it. People want you to recite a list of its supposed weaknesses as a reassurance for themselves, not to inform others. 4826033

John David Pressman @jdp.extropian.net · 15/09/2026One of the reasons the right has been so successful the last ten years is they know how to shut up and vote for a candidate who's not perfect.
