Congrats Dan and Tullie - and the rest of the team. Great to see AUSTRALIA and particularly Melbourne (formerly known as the most liveable city in the world) represented. Is there anything different now compared to what you released ~18 months ago? Or just launching on HN now?

Yeah, and after dissolving the superalignment team, “we want to develop safe AI, but we will dissolve the internal unit responsible for doing it.” Makes no sense.

But it’s not looking good now the board can’t even fire him.

Service to make tools for GPT builders

Here's an idea - make a business making endpoints for non coders that want to make tools for their GPTs? GPT's are really cool, but unless you can code and make an API, you can't really give them custom tools. If we have an online form that people submit their request into, we make the tool and host it for them and then they can expland their GPT way further than before

Hmmm. Ill have a look. I guess even with PyScript which i would regard as the ultimate front end python solution you have to know HYML
Yeah, im talking about front end really. Browser or mobile platform. I was a beginner and chose pythin because its the easiest. But i just naturally assumed because it was so popular you could build front end apps (web or otherwise) with it. But the courses out there assumed a lot of previous front end knowledge and went straight to the python version of whatever concept.
Yeah - backend is all sorted with python and there's probably just enough basic level course coverage for back end web development concepts in Python. But thats useless if you want to make things people can actually see all by yourself.
"there's just no need and no advantage of Python in Web Dev "

I guess, except for the fact that its the easiest language to learn and its the fastest growing language and there are millions of python devs that are super frustrated they can't use any python front end framework because they don't know the basics yet. (Because they're all explained in JS)

Yeah, maybe. I though't HN would tell me why its underserved, but I can imagine all the pythonistas out there would eat a course like this up

Why arent there any courses teaching web development in Python?

Before anyone jumps in and says “because front end is built in JS” hear me out:- There are lots of web development frameworks in python: Pyscript, Anvil, Reflex, Atri, JustPy and many, many more- The docs or mini courses for these jump straight into “how to do a web thing that we already know but in Python”- No course out there teaches the basics of the web like fetching, async, dom...
