I've written a fair bit of PySpark code and Polars's syntax feels fairly similar, but it also offers a limited SQL dialect.

Anything besides ads, GCP, and Apps in that bucket?

Perl's actually excellent at processing unstructured data, and it had a strong foothold in bioinformatics for a time. I don't think the decision was as obvious as it looks.

That's a very rosy view of humans. The average person gets older, not wiser; they see the consequences of their actions and find someone else to blame. Real social and cultural change comes from new generations.

CGP Grey doesn't explore what happens after death is defeated. I can't imagine how it can lead to anything but a stagnated society, with prejudices and inequalities enshrined forever.

De minimis is a longstanding defense in copyright law. If you are copying very little from very many works, as is the case when you turn multiple petabytes into a few gigabytes of neural network weights, you are in the clear. The problem arises when models overfit and spit out almost perfect copies of the training data.

There is a lot of wishful thinking that goes into galaxy brain code. It assumes you know with almost complete certainty what rules are bound to change and where extension will be needed, that the next developer will be able to understand and respect the beautiful elegance of the design instead of hacking at it to achieve the desired result, and that the code will be long-lived enough to justify the initial investment. Grug coders aren't always inexperienced; many are actually repented architecture astronauts.

Aircraft carriers don't have the large cannons of a dreadnought. An armored car that served as launchpad and command center for drones could be drastically lighter, faster, cheaper, and with simpler logistics.

Is it just a moral panic? Because these kids, who are bright enough to build their games and virtual worlds in Roblox's arcane tools, are spending hundreds of hours to create content for a multi-billion company and seeing nothing for their efforts. (In fact, many spend money to promote their worlds, so they are paying to work.)
