isn’t the expected behaviour exactly identical on any object that has len defined:
“By default, an object is considered true unless its class defines either a bool() method that returns False or a len() method that returns zero, when called with the object.”
ps: well your objection is I guess that we cant know in advance if that said object has len defined such as being a collection so this question does not really apply to your post I guess.
Yea and then you use “not” with a variable name that does not make it obvious that it is a list and another person who reads the code thinks it is a bool. Hell a couple of months later you yourself wont even understand that it is a list. Moreover “not” will not throw an error if you don’t use an sequence/collection there as you should but len will.
You should not sacrifice code readability and safety for over optimization, this is phyton after all I don’t think list lengths will be your bottle neck.
well because when you say things like “it plans ahead” or “our method is inspired by brain scanners” etc it makes a connection between AI and real thinking and generates hype.
or pay a generous fee of %0.00001 of your yearly earnings to make it go away
The funny thing is with so much money you could probably do lots of great stuff with the existing AI as it is. Instead they put all the money into compute power so that they can overfit their LLMs to look like a human.
“Microsoft is slated to back up its claims and success in quantum computing next week at an American Physical Society (APS) meeting in California.”
Well if they try to put on a show like Elon did with his dancing robots and what not we can be %100 sure it is a pyramid scheme.
Arcanum when?

I already don’t use airbnb but booking.com? Almost all holidays. That would be really hard to replace. Does anyone have any alternatives (other than directly calling the hotels obv)? I guess one could atleast minimally search from booking.com and then first check if the hotels you are interested in have their own online reservation systems. But it will probably be much less guaranteed than booking.com and one could easily end up with a holiday ruined and a mere apology for “making a reservation mistake”
not creepy at all… hey what’s that flash disk lying on the table

Well they all collectively chose a high risk, high reward and highly fascist regime over lower risk, lower reward one. So let them cower in terror of being struck down because the quality of their ass kisses were not adequate.
well I mean the USA’s president is a scammer so I am not surprised he is involved in stuff where scammers are abundant nowadays like crypto and AI
hello I would like to order a thousand full plate mails
perhaps executives are more replaceable by AI than workers are?
oh wow who would have guessed that business consultancy companies are generally built on bullshitting about things which they dont really have a grasp of
LLMs in a robot that talks to a child? Surely nothing can go wrong with that.
If there is an alternative through which I can achieve the same intended effect and is a bit more safer (because it will verify that it has len implemented) I would prefer that to commenting. Also if I have to comment every len use of not that sounds quite redundant as len checks are very common
