Be honest though, what’s the difference between this and a good system prompt in Claude to be a language tutor?

I worked for an Edtech startup before that had a novel approach to mastery (as opposed to Anki) and it’s not something you can put in a prompt.


a prompt doesn't market itself. The difference is small but one person can sell the wrapper but can't sell the Claude as language tutor. People will hustle.


Babbel is better than Duolingo!


Unfortunately, Babbel doesn't have a Hindi course. I wish it did.


uv has a lot more perks! It makes distributing python tooling easier too


DO will sign off in minutes (or did for me)


Imagine if they were cheaper and easier to manufacture


Soon we will have low carbon developers


Let's start with npm and node_modules first - I think it is responsible for at least half of the global warming.


We all were low carbon developers once


Maybe the few that were WFH prior to AI. I just calculated my carbon output for commuting and going to lunch daily versus WFH and using AI and it's wayyy less. Let's all save earth, stay home and use AI.


Go is definitely better, but with uv you can install all dependencies including python with only curl


Is that what uv sync does under the hood, just curl’s over all dependencies and the python version defined in .python-version?


I think they meant you can use curl to install uv and then you don't need to (manually) install anything else


Yeah that’s what I meant, apologies if unclear


Who?


Al Gore played a big role in getting political (and hence economic) support for the expansion of the Internet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_techno... :

> Al Gore, a strong and knowledgeable proponent of the Internet, promoted legislation that resulted in President George H.W Bush signing the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991. This Act allocated $600 million

> In the early 1990s the Internet was big news ... In the fall of 1990, there were just 313,000 computers on the Internet; by 1996, there were close to 10 million. The networking idea became politicized during the 1992 Clinton–Gore election campaign, where the rhetoric of the information highway captured the public imagination.

Your parent comment is either joining in on the ridicule side or at least in misquoting:

> Gore became the subject of controversy and ridicule when his statement, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet", was widely quoted out of context. It was often misquoted by comedians and figures in American popular media who framed this statement as a claim that Gore believed he had personally invented the Internet.[54] Gore's actual words were widely reaffirmed by notable Internet pioneers, such as Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, who stated, "No one in public life has been more intellectually engaged in helping to create the climate for a thriving Internet than the Vice President."


The author is an early CS bachelors student so… they might still learn this in school


Fwiw, Curry is 30 years old! It looks newer than it is fr the site


Hah. I guess that's why I said "new to me", heh

Anyway, cool!
