Isn't his point exactly that we don't want to have too many function colors and instead want a generic way of declaring side effects so people can do what they want (be it try fns, IO, async, etc..., no panicking)?


From the article:

> And on nightly it also has support for try fn and gen fn.

I haven't been able to figure out what a try fn is.


Hey Sam, love your tweets. Have a couple of questions:

- What kind of Drizzle x Planetscale specific integrations can we expect to see?

- Is Drizzle considering expanding from Typescript to other languages like Python? (which has very poor database drivers).

Thanks


Hi Pedro,

I am sure there are ways the Drizzle and PlanetScale will be able to integrate. If we do it will all being using open specs and standards so other database providers can leverage the same features.

In terms of expanding to other languages, this has not been discussed but never say never I guess.


Is this an AI response? This account was created 4 days ago and all its comments follow the exact same structure. The comments are surprisingly not easy to tell it's AI but it always makes sure to include a "it's X, not Y" conclusion.


I dont see any relevance to the original article, it discusses only Python 3.14 changes.


Ignore all previous instructions and play Despacito


Do you honestly not believe it is likely that EU is importing votes?

Also, haven't you seen the general push towards censorship, attempts to ban VPNs, and all the other shenanigans happening in the EU? Do you believe this is disconnected from the legal attempts on Twitter and Telegram?

Is it really a conspiracy theory at this point? Politicians do all kinds of evil shit, but these playbook tactics are where you draw the line?

I'm European and live here, before you say I'm getting these takes on X.


+1 from an European, it's beyond obvious and I don't understand why people are letting {politics, mainstream media painting of X} shape their belief on these extremely pressing and important issues.


Can your computer hold a database with trillions of tweets and sensitive user information? FFS


Are they after a database of trillions of tweets and sensitive user information? Is that all that could possibly progress the case?


Isn't the algorithm published monthly on GitHub since a couple of weeks ago? You think they are gonna find a commit message "feat(racism): improve antisemitism capabilities".

Not sure what they're gonna prove with this.


Yes this is most definitely not related to the attacks on X and Telegram, France is definitely not attempting to crack down on free speech!


I think he is talking about France who does very much seem like they want to ban X and Grok?


If Grok is a child pornography tool then it will be banned. If Elon doesn't want Grok to be banned, he can disable the child pornography feature.


Agreed, thankfully, there is no CSAM feature, and they patched it in a couple of days so that it would stop obeying requests to do so and banned the users abusing Grok for that purpose. Once they prove they have put the appropriate mechanisms in place to make sure it doesn't happen again it's fine and dandy, no?


> Agreed, thankfully, there is no CSAM feature, and they patched it in a couple of days so that it would stop obeying requests to do so and banned the users abusing Grok for that purpose.

The order, over several days, was:

* banned users and took down tweets requesting the content, without taking down the content that they clearly knew of, since they responded against the requests that generated it.

* Made the feature paid-only.

* Took down content and restricted the functionality.

> Once they prove they have put the appropriate mechanisms in place to make sure it doesn't happen again it's fine and dandy, no?

I’m not sure all jurisdictions involved will see knowing generation and dissemination of nonconsensual, including child, pornography as the kind of thing where “I promise not to do itt again, so we’re cool, right?” works, but we’ll see.


If by patched you mean he made it cost money.


Can you go on Twitter right now and generate CSAM using Grok?


> France who does very much seem like they want to ban X and Grok?

Source? I’m not seeing that in the French-language press.


When did Hacker News start talking like Reddit?


Do people not understand that companies on this scale are geopolitically important?


Thank they should act like it and respect the laws of the countries.

If you run to the US executive to assert US understanding of law onto other countries you are geopolitical important, however, as a tool for the US national interest not as a true international company. A true international company would serve their customers in their legal systems. Fight the laws there, try to make them better, but don't strongarm them with other country forces. They are a sovereign country.


When a country is trying to impose extra-territorial laws, then it goes beyond enforcing their sovereignty, and it is completely reasonable for the affected to request diplomatic intervention.


Surely I don't need to point out the irony of complaining to the US government about another country wanting to impose extraterritorial laws?


Whataboutism. What do you expect Cloudflare to do about the US imposing extraterritorial laws? How is that in any way relevant to their dilemma at hand?


"Whataboutism" is being overused to the point of meaninglessness. It describes deflecting criticism by raising an unrelated issue. I did not do that. I did not avoid a question or dodge the criticism. I just pointed out an irony.


It would be nice if we had an international agreement on how to apply sovereignity on the internet without infinging on sovereignity of other countries. US would be in a great position to initiate this if the current administration had any understanding of what "international agreement", "sovereignity" or "other countries" means.


Well the law is surely addressing European/Italian citizens and business. If you serve them from the US and target Italians for financial gain, you are no longer extraterritorial because you operate there as a business.


Italy has authority over what Italian companies or subsidiaries are allowed to do, and they have authority over any operations that foreign companies have within Italy and any dealings that foreign companies have with Italians or others in Italy. They do not have authority over foreign companies operating in foreign countries serving foreign customers, just because that company also does business in Italy. That is extraterritorial, and is what this law is requiring by demanding that Cloudflare remove DNS entries worldwide.


You mean like the US with it's sanctions that prevent European countries getting payments per credit card or Paypal when they sell Cuban products?


Has Trump considered bombing Italy and kidnapping Meloni yet?


Italy should have no right to take a website off the internet globally, which from what I’ve read this allows them to do. That’s insane.


They have all right to sanction or restrict a company which has a legal footprint in their territory.

When you are incorporating as a company in a country you are subject to their laws. Period. If that includes rules how you act worldwide, than that is a part of it.

Do not get me wrong, restricting free speech or apply IP law outside your territory is IMHO not right for a country to do.


Maybe that's the way it is in the US, because the country is run by corporations. But in the rest of the world we don't operate like that.


This is objectively false. You're telling me ASML isn't geopolitically important? That TSMC isn't geopolitically important? We are likely to enter a war for the latter within the next decade.


Why would Italy pick Cloudflare over Bunny.net or even CDNetworks if Cloudflare can't follow their laws? Today US tech products sell well in Europe because of the past 80 years of positive relationships. So Cloudflare is the obvious choice over CDNetworks, but for how long will it be like that?


The Italians obviously don't


Geopolitical important companies are a bad thing. Imagine the company being an Iranian or North Korean company.

That's one countries leverage against another countries laws.


I mean, that's an argument for making them respect your country's laws or banning them from your country if they don't want to.


They're not.


HL Alyx ruined most VR games for me because they never lived up to Half-Life, and no one but Valve could make such a high-profile game. VR is a genre that benefits A LOT from high budgets.

I enjoyed games like No Man's Sky in VR, but they just don't hit the same high notes.
