This looks insane!
Even opus 4.8 rejected, Haiku worked

Engineering leader, 10+ years. Spent 7 years at Qure.AI (medical imaging AI) — built the backend serving deep-learning models, then led the migration of three product lines into a unified Bazel monorepo, then ran engineering for the Global Health BU (~20 engineers, scaled chest X-ray AI to 80+ countries and 2,000+ sites). Left in May 2025, currently building two AI side projects (releasedog.com, Vellum). Looking for Director / Head of Engineering / VP roles at AI/ML startups, or founding-engineer at seed stage.

This is pretty well done

I'm working on https://releasedog.com/ - It collects changes from JIRA/slack/github and create a changelog/release notes.

Application developer should be able to package and distribute the app. See how easy it is for casual user to download and install any application on windows. Maintainers cannot scale and depending on them will just hold back Desktop Linux
I think people in generate are happy that systemd happend
If you can detect them, sure

Python packaging is coming along quite good
Why should it void warranty? It must not void warranty unless apple can prove that unlocking/tinkering was the real cause of damange. Don't give up on your rights easily folks

More like "we gonna mess up customer's entire business because we can't bother to give a call on phone (even robocall would have been fine)". I get phone calls/sms for my phone bill/internet bill/electricity bill or even amazon deliveries. I guess a customer's business is not that important for google cloud
Re:Our production servers were suspended by Google Cloud on Monday March 13, 2023 @08:12AM (#35134604)
Or maybe, make a phone call?
Ask Elon
One more thing we need is app distribution for desktop apps written in python. I need to be able to package python app as single binary. There are tools like pyoxidizer https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ . hopefully it become standard in python community

Healthcare is stuck in pre 2000 IT technologies because of privacy concerns. I hope that with FHE, Heathcare providers can move to cloud technologies without fear of losing privacy
Re:Freezing Requirements with Pip-Tools on Friday July 15, 2022 @09:41AM (#32108074)
We are migrating our company codebase to bazel which uses this and it is quite helpful. Hermetic builds are nice and all devs share same versions of packages so reproducing bugs is easy
I hope it was sarcasm
