Using ty with the helix editor · Technical inconsistencies blog
The folks at Astral have released ty, which they define as: An extremely fast Python type checker and language server, written in Rust. You can read more in the blog post announcing it. Today, I set it up with helix. To make it work, we first have to install it. Using uv, it’s as easy as typing: uv tool install ty@latest Then, edit your ~/.config/helix/languages.toml and add the following: [language-server.ty] command = "ty" args = ["server"] [[language]] name = "python" scope = "source.p…

'Total fiction': CNN fact-checker demolishes 8 'wild exaggerations' in Trump's speech - Alternet.org

New pre-print out: "Types, equations, dimensions and the Pi theorem".
We formalized the covariance principle (physical laws must be independent of units) as a homomorphism between the algebra of physical quantities and real numbers.
While the Pi Theorem from Dimensional Analysis (DA) is non-constructive, we introduce a constructive method for applying it. This could enable DA-driven program derivation where the type checker helps identify valid physical laws.

Wie nah ist deine Website am Zentrum des Internets? 🕸️
​Für LLMs ist das entscheidend. Die werden oft mit Daten vom "Common Crawl" trainiert.
Je zentraler eine Seite im Web-Graphen liegt, desto wahrscheinlicher landet sie im Trainingsdaten-Set.
​Das Tool WebGraph macht das sichtbar.
Es zeigt den "Harmonic Centrality Rank" – quasi wie viele Sprünge man von den wichtigsten Knoten des Netzes entfernt ist.

CNN’s Daniel Dale Counts Down Donald Trump’s ‘Top 25 Lies of 2025’
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale recounted 25 of Donald Trump's "top lies of 2025," although the journalist confessed it was hard to choose "only 25."

Nobody uses this sanitized version. Perhaps a priest might.

So, I was typing in #LibreOffice Writer and wanted to use the French phrase tête-Š-tête. I don't have a French keyboard, so I typed "tete-a-tete" and thought I'd let spell check add the diacritics.
Instead I got the image shown. Maybe it's just me, but if the phrase "tech-a-tete" is in the default spell checker (and I promise I did not add it) surely the far…

Today I learned… if you are doing something naughty in JavaScript* (and let’s face it, of course you are) that TypeScript’s type checker is giving you an error for and you – being you – want to keep being naughty (because you can and that’s half the fun), there’s a better way to silence the error than using @ts-ignore which, umm, just ignores it.
Instead, you can use @ts-expect-error (with the error message, to remind yourself what you’re expecting).
This way, if the error ever g…
