Do you think they had green with very poor contrast from the start? https://coolors.co/contrast-checker/ffffff-65c466

I highly doubt it. Apple is known for intentional design.

I still haven't grasped, how is human learning from a book different from machine learning from a book?

If i read your book and then use the knowledge to answer someone's question is it not the same if machine does it?

Does chat gpt plagiarize the book word for word? Was it trained on an illegally obtained copy?

Still, if i get knowledge from unlicensed copy of a book and use that knowledge, at what point is the law broken?

Pandas is more efficient than Python at operating on large datasets. Can you suggest alternarives?

Makes sense if you want to give the user the ability to import data from csv (see django import export package). Beyond importing data from user or another service i dont see other uses, but they do exist.

You can't have one without the other, unless you want to drive your car and expect everyone else to take a bus.

Reddit used to be like that too, but those people gravitate to the community eventually. I think best we can do is recognize the behaviour early and down vote it on sight.

Ebooks. Kindle has a nice display showing how much is left in the chapter. It has a warm light back light, and i can take multiple books with me on a trip (i have some unfinished books).

I can put down the kindle without losing the page, or having to bookmark it. And i can sideload the books for free.

Physical books are tempting too as i can get them free at a library and very cheap second hand, but i know i would still prefer to read it on kindle where i can choose the font size I like.

Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham.

I found the first part (the boys) very boring, and unnecessarily detailed. I could have skipped it without consequence. But the rest of the book was pretty good and enjoyable.

I am on GR but don't rely on it much, just to keep track of read books, and a wishlist.

I used it to pick the best rated Daniel Silva book and was disappointed as o didn't like it. I'd agree that reviews on GR ale not reliable, most people have different taste. What's most annoying is how most reviews there start by summarizing the book which inflates the bloat you have to go through before you get to the review.

I only just checked out bookwyrm now, but i can't find the book I'm currently reading there (the poet by Michael Connelly). It doesn't look like it has as much content.
