I thought it was just me disliking this types of readmes. Is this aislop or are people actually wasting time to paste all those emojis everywhere? It is like we are going back to hieroglyphs -- I swear if I see another rocket launch...
It's LLMs. You can tell from the phrasing ("no X just Y", "isn't A it's B", "pure ___"), and because all of the sections except Screenshots say basically the same thing. A competent person would not write it like this and an incompetent person would not be this meticulous about grammar and formatting.
I realize this sounds exactly like "I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time" but I really can tell.
Edit: Also you can see this was made with https://github.com/features/spark, but that's cheating, it's more fun to make accusations based on vague feelings about the writing tone.
I wonder where LLMs got this style from, since, while you did see something like it, it wasn’t nearly as widespread before the rise of ChatGPT, so not the most statistically likely form for these to be generated in.
Was it trained into them in the supervised or reinforcement phases?
Has it emerged from prompts extorting them to be friendly, somehow sneaking in from text message training as a result?
Is it now in a self-reinforcing feedback loop as training data grows to include modern Readmes?
What about offline access to documents, bookmarks, summaries and other data you already downloaded? How would accessing this through a browser provide this reliably? Honest question.
I loved sdf too. But had a very bad experience with them after a while. Very bad support if you ever decide to use their services (at one point I had everything there). My advice today is to stay as far away as possible from SDF!
I am a university professor teaching Operating Systems based on the Dinosaur book. I always use the authos' slides to which I add my own notes and extra/missing concepts.
My colleagues from other universities here do exactly what you say, they do their own summary which is an effort I also don't understand.
The only moment when I felt I needed to do my own slides was with the pandemic online courses that refrained me from using the whiteboards in the amphitheater. But in the end the graphical tablet saved me from that.
Thank you very much for your efforts! I haven't seen this mentioned in the release notes, but does this fix the remaining automatic module reload issues? Do I still have to restart IPython whenever I modify a module?
There is the %autoreload magic but it is limited, it will often fail to reload compiled modules like numpy. So there is not a single answer, sometime it works, other times it does not.
