I think when someone says "production ready AOT" in any context, it's never quite obvious what they mean. As ckok implied, even when AOT is "working" it may generate a 100mb executable. For some end users that is production ready (like Facebook, who reportedly were shipping 1gb+ AOT'd php executables to their server cluster) and for other end users it is not (because a 100mb browser app is a closed tab.)

WASM now and emscripten before it both were designed and optimized for POSIX C apps and for games, and they're pretty good for those scenarios. Larger-scale stuff is pretty tricky and the tooling ecosystem will have to continue to grow to support more real-world applications. JIT, stackwalking, GC, etc are all still not there on WASM - thankfully threading is finally crossing the finish line but even that has taken years.

Wow, apart from obviously cool project I'm super impressed with the minimalist website design, aesthetics, effort put in the video to match the aesthetics and all without any JS.

Either this is the first time I'm visiting this site or I don't remember; But I wonder how they are managing to compete with Node.JS in the search engines with that name. Google doesn't respect even N-O-D-E, where as DDG brings up the site as first result for N-O-D-E. Not to mention there's another famous Youtube channel by the name Node by Corridor Crew.

They seem to sell some items based on their design along with the stuff they make at their store of the same name, I would like to know how they reach out to their audience from any regular subscriber of their work.
> has many treatment options available

is there one that's cheap? Can i buy an aspirin pill for cancer?

A substitute is not the same as options - a substitute implies lower cost but does the same job. Chicken is a substitute for beef (which is generally more expensive). Therefore, beef cannot become _too_ much more expensive than chicken, as people will just opt to buy the chicken.

But if you have cancer, and each treatment still costs thousands per visit/session, then they are not substitutes.

> You assume that middle class Americans are willing, available and able to do those jobs when paid higher wages and benefits. In my many years I have yet to find “Americans” doing roofing jobs for example.

One would have to assume that eventually, when roofers are paid as much as those of us who are sitting here reading hackernews, there will be a steady stream of workers inclined to fill these positions. I feel like this is the sort of textbook example taught in Econ 101, and if the "free market" can't even solve even this sort of basic problem without a serf class of undocumented immigrants, it would imply that American-style capitalism itself is a failed experiment.
3) Isn't a system in which monopolistic business practices make sense a fundamentally broken one?

4) Shouldn't we, as members of a democratic system of government, be concerned that this has become the case? And express that concern to others in order to spread understanding and continue the democratic process?

5) Isn't it strange how Hacker News comments so often take the position of large companies, as if those individuals aren't going to suffer from a small number of multi-trillion dollar companies ingesting entire industries in the long term?

The way Google: ship it and make it work really, really well.

The product was so good that people noticed. They were able to take this and leverage this into being search for a really large property, like

Back in the 90s there were lots of search engines. People didn't pick Google because it was hard to switch, they converged on Google because the product was that good - there was Infoseek, HotBot, AskJeeves, Alta Vista, Lycos, Yahoo, Excite ... the list goes on.

It's a theoretical problem to have a significantly better search engine and not find users for it.
Sorry for any confusion caused on my part - my gripe wasn't with compilation to WASM, but about AOT to native bytecode.
Mostly native, I guess. I would have been 11 or so when I got a computer/internet. 18 when I got a cell phone. But in a lot of ways, perhaps not. I absolutely hate texting as a replacement of a phone call, for example. Texts are fine for a notice, not a conversation. And that's coming from someone who doesn't like talking on the phone.

Cultural Difference and American Power (Encounter Books, 2019)

https://www.amazon.com/Burdens-Freedom-Cultural-Difference-A...

.... The United States is an individualist society where most people seek to realize personal goals and values out in the world. This unusual, inner-driven culture was the chief reason why first Europe, then Britain, and finally America came to lead the world. But today, our deepest problems derive from groups and nations that reflect the more passive, deferential temperament of the non-West. The long-term poor and many immigrants have difficulties assimilating in America mainly because they are less inner-driven than the norm. Abroad, the United States faces challenges from Asia, which is collective-minded, and also from many poorly-governed countries in the developing world. The chief threat to American leadership is no longer foreign rivals like China but the decay of individualism within our own society.

> Search is essential infrastructure for the internet and should not be monopolized.

Exactly! What a mess to have Google Marketing farting around with the world's information spigot. It's a good thing opportunities aren't physical objects, because it would be mightily depressing if we could see Google toss potential cures for cancer, and strategies for world peace down a well.
Here in the southern US we've already started up the process of evicting people. Richmond, VA (which always finds itself in the top 10 cities in the US with the highest eviction rates) is in full swing.

I know it's easy for a lot of us to forget about people outside NYC and LA but there are not many renter protections down here in general, let alone during an economic crisis/pandemic.
My own personal observations

- The "rich results" do indeed save people a click

- Some of them are excerpts from sites crawled by Google (that will tend to now be the 2nd result) that the user will no longer click on

- Google's query disambiguation is the best in the business

- They'd had a history of piggy backing on external resources and then turning them into their own, e.g. DMOZ, now wikipedia. I'm sure their knowledge ontology will soon render Wiki obsolete and push them down a result also.

- They've taken some verticals and halved the number of clicks competitors or "price comparison" sites previously got, albeit it's their search engine, they lay it out as they see fit.

It's changed a lot since the "10 blue links". Most of us probably used to think of search engines as an agnostic finder of information on the web, with ads on top. Now with "query intent" and monetisation - the temptation is too much and it's not so much about finding information "out there", on the web.

Because of the position that Google is now in wrt their dominance in search markets and to the extent they can monetise a query, no one else can match their revenue per user or find alterative avenues of traffic that are comparable to their portal (i.e. Google in the UK commands 95% of searches, 80% of ad spend is between them and Facebook). If Google decides they want to enter a vertical, it's hugely detrimental to others in that market. Someone who ranked #1 10 years ago would get 50% of clicks, IIRC it's closer to 20% now, because of all the other media on the page.

But in the end, there are other choices. The problem is that due to the monetisation Google is capable of (based on a lot of data acquisition about their users), it's hard for anyone to carve out an alternative. Particularly so when Google pay phone vendors and browsers for them to be the default engine, it's a perpetuating cycle.

My personal ideal would be 5 or 6 independent search engines, with a number of meta engines built on top of those independent data sources;algos. Purely for the sake of getting alternative points of view and perhaps past any filters or bias.
Eh, something to be said for mid-range too.

I have a 12v cordless drill. Ended up saving me tons of work over the years but by no means either the best or the worst.

Musical instruments. The low-end ones tend to be true disasters.

Mid-range CPUs and GPUs are wonderful. Kitchen mixers, knives, screwdrivers, soldering irons, drill presses, etc.

Plenty of times the worst tool is so obviously terrible that you probably shouldn’t consider it. Sometimes the worst tool is dangerous, damages what you’re working on, or has bad ergonomics.

Bicycles. All those $100 bike-shaped objects out there. You don’t need to spend much more to get something comfortable that fits you and lasts a while.
If you don't think Americans are doing roofing, you must live in a strange place. The biggest roofing company in my state, Salazar roofing, is American owned and operated. The guy who roofed my house is a 60 year old teacher who roofs in the summer. And I don't mean he owns the business, I mean he owns the business and he's the primary guy doing the roofing, hiring kids wanting summer jobs to bring him shingles he puts down like some inhuman shingling robot, in pressed jeans and shirt.
Exception filters are also a problem for AOT to non-WASM LLVM targets, for similar reasons - expressing complex exception handling and flow control in LLVM is very difficult. But the situation is better there, at least.

First of all, thank you for bearing with me this long!

Still, you haven't written exactly the function I was asking for. You require a manual, compile-time step of transforming the N-ary function to a unary function taking a tuple. Still, it's impressive that this can define variable-length, variable-type tuples. Unfortunately I am not able at all to follow your solution, as it's using too many types that I'm not familiar with, and it seems to require some external packages, so I can't easily try it out in an online compiler to understand it better (as I have been doing so far).

Either way, I would say we are well outside the limits of an easy to understand way of specifying this kind of function - even if you are only showing 2 lines of code, it seems that your definition requires, outside of lists and functions (the objects we intended to work with): ZipList, Default, Functor, Profunctor, ProductProfunctor, Applicative, and a helper type. Even if these were derivable, someone seeking to write this function would still need to be aware of all of these types, some of which are not even part of the standard library; and of the way they work together to magically produce the relatively simple task they had set out to do.

> Could you say where you see that claim in the article?

The claim is presented implicitly: for one, they conjecture that, were Haskell or SML to "pragmatically support" such a feature, it would be used more often (offering as argument the observation that both Haskell's and SML's standard libraries define functions that differ only in the arity of their arguments, such as zipWith/zipWith3 in Haskell). This implies that, to their knowledge, it is not pragmatically possible to implement this in Haskell.

Similarly, given that in their "Related Works" section they don't identify any complete implementation of variadic polymorphism, it can be assumed that they claim at least not to have found one.
An aside might be something other than a note.

Cite is a subset of notes.

Aside is ... at best a superset, if not something independent.

If you want uniform styling or behaviour, you'd need to distinguish aside notes from other asides, meaning page- and site-specific conventions, and no uniform and predictable practice.

Notes are sufficiently well defined and utilised that they deserve a dedicated element.

That's like blaming drug users for the existence of cartels in their current form. Sure without demand there is no supply, but in both cases regulators have failed the public in limiting the harmful effects the supplier causes.

Subjects as big as these should not end up as "personal responsibility" of the consumers. Especially when suppliers hold all the cards.
Hmm. Would a multi-speaker model be able to interpolate between voices (eg. halfway between Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones)?
To understand the concept of sleep, we need to look at the concept of rest, autonomous nervous system, cortisol, and its regulators.

Source, Internet, disclaimer, not a medical or sleep professional. Use this only as hear-say.

Why do we need sleep - because we need to rest before our next conquest in life, which is tomorrow.

What our autonomous sympathetic nervous system does - it knows! It knows how nasty tomorrow is. We call this stress! Depending on the level of stress and ferocity or importance of the stressors, the nervous system decides that it is enough if you sleep for 3 hours in this time of personal emergency. So it wakes you up in 3 hours. But it is also kind! It produces cortisol, a pain reducing hormone so that, "hey my human, I woke you up in just 3 hours. So that you have 21 hours to solve our problems, so that we can have a happy future. Btw, it is painful, so I also spiked your blood with 500mg of cortisol so that you wont hurt". Sounds fair?

There you go. You are wide awake at 2.00 am, painless yet tired, nothing to do as the day hasn't started. Tossing in the bed.

Thus far we gave the definition of the problem.

What is the solution. We can go two ways.

We obey the brain. We get up, and do some meaningful work, and tell yourself, yeah, we did this so now my day is looking better. Then go to bed. The brain knows! So it lets you sleep another 3 hours. And you repeat. One day your problems will be really over. You sleep full night.

Second solution. Your problems may not be solved by you doing anything. Then, you do something to kill the cortisol. It is the baffle on which your brain is balancing your body. You knock it out. How? Vitamin C. It kills Cortisol. So take 5g of Vitamin C in drink form before bed. Take a drink of Vitamin C every time you wake. It should work. There are other Cortisol regulators, but none have the convenience, cost advantage and additional benefits of Vit C.

Type I and II unums are likely dead ends. Type III (posits) look promising. Facebook AI has developed their own type of "posit" with the terribly undescriptive name of "(8, 1, alpha, beta, gamma) log".
