Well, it is necessary to expose this to language implementations to reach good performance. If we could reach the same performance otherwise, we would not expose it, as it makes implementing Truffle languages more complicated. Unfortunately automating the specializing part is an unsolved research question for a method based compiler (deserves its own PhD). Other trace based meta-compilation approaches (e.g. PyPy) have an advantage here, but disadvantages in other areas.

With regards to b), I am very thankful. My favorite computer is a Tadpole Viper which has a 1.2 GHz UltraSparc IIIi. OpenBSD not only has current support for it, it is also the only thing that will run on it (unless someone has the old Tadpole Solaris 8 or 10 patched CDs). I love that laptop and will be very sorry when it does finally die.
> The best way to interpret Fahrenheit (for Celsius people) is to think of a scale from 0 to a 100 in terms of human comfort.

I've heard this several times, but I can tell you it really doesn't help me to get a good sense of Farenheit. My theory is Americans enjoy describing it this way (0 = really cold, 100 = really hot) because it seems pragmatic and humane, but it probably does little to help them get a feel for the scale. The main reason they have a good feel for the Farenheit scale is lots of experience with it, same as any other scale. Lots of internalised data points that create a frame of reference.

We Brits like to think our scale is easy because 0 = melting ice, 100 = boiling water. But when I estimate the outdoor temperature as 25 C, I think my brain is really just linking that to past experiences of similar temperatures, the ice/boiling water thing doesn't come into it.
There’s a lot that can be better here and Robinhood’s approach to getting a foothold has been smart.

I use Fidelity for everything, but their software is mediocre at best. I hear vanguard is worse.

The regular banks are ten times worse than fidelity for basic actions.

Other startups that have tried to make this better (Simple Bank comes to mind, but there are a couple of others) typically sell out or only focus on basic banking which is not helpful.

Robinhood has better software and is positioning themselves to be a serious player long term.
Likewise.... not extinct either!

You are right of course - my example sucks. I'm trying to think of a more appropriate example, but my heart is not in it.

I like the concept of an "innovation budget". For example, if you're using a compile-to-WASM system for the first time, just use the database you already know.

If the system is all completely new to you, then pick a very small project (or wait until you have a lot of time on your hands and failure is an option).

That would not be fair and just. As of 2018 China emits 8 tons of CO2 per capita while Germany emits 9.1:

I expect the per-capita gap to shrink further in the next few years. China's much higher absolute emissions are largely a function of its much larger population.
I wouldn't go into a new project using new tech or with the goal of using new tech. That's setting yourself up for failure. Go with what you know.

You should look a new tech as something to be experimented with and tried out in a casual sense. New JS Framework? I'm going to try and re-create this thing that I know how to do in the Old JS Framework and compare. New database? Make a simple app to explore it and flesh it out.

If you don't know enough about the new product to compare it to what you know, you shouldn't be considering going with something new. New stuff comes out all the time, but that doesn't mean it's good or worth looking into.

Serious question, why is the answer to this not a slightly-but-not-much-more-polite version of "That's ridiculous, be quiet." and moving forward?
“I think part of the issue is that the words/concepts really don't translate into modern english well at all. Another example is how frequently the first of the Four Noble Truths is misrepresented as "Life is suffering".”

Absolutely, translations are difficult and imprecise, having multiple meanings even in the original Sanskrit or Pāli. Even different lineages place concepts in different categories, like whether or not suffering is one of the three dharma seals or not. Vipassana as taught by the Theravada would say it is, whereas Mahayana and Vajrayana would sometimes say it’s not.

No wonder new meditators get confused when they try to start a practice with all these modern apps and books that avoid teaching any of the lineages!
It's not really like that. Either you can coat a 5000-foot roll of acetate with 14 layers of chemistry to a high degree of uniformity, then slit and sprocket the film, and package it, or you can't.
With economy going down the drain and nobody sees the end of the tunnel, I'm not sure, that leaving your job is the best decision, because as it was mention in the article:

Not sure how the job market will look in February, but pretty sure, not as nice as before Covid.
> How do you mean that machine translation outperforms non deep learning based approaches at the real world task? How is this evaluated?

There were two ways that performance can be evaluated that I had in mind:

1. Commercial success - what approach does popular sites like Google Translate use?
2. Human evaluation - in a research setting, ask humans to score translations - this is mentioned in your link
An $1,000 drop from $4,000/mo to $3,000/mo is a big change. The unfortunate reality, however, is $3,000 is just as unaffordable as $4,000 for many. It's still got a very long way to fall before we see $300/mo bedrooms.
It's the exact same as tools in your garage. You will use a hammer, screwdrivers, and pliers often. If you do a lot of work, you'll end up getting a ratchet set and some power tools. If you find yourself with an air compressor and a nail gun trying to hang a picture frame on your wall, you're probably over-engineering. There is a perfect tool for every job, but there is a tool in your toolkit that can probably get any job done too. The important factors end up being other things.

A clarification here that I think is worthwhile:

I hate to use the argument but how well did appeasement work out historically... that’s right it didn’t. When something is stupid and only happening because they have the power to force it.

It's important to emphasize that while this may sound like what Python people do with Numba or Cython, it's actually quite different because whether or not you write "slow julia code" or write "fast julia code", it's all seen by the same compiler.

A highly tuned kernel function can be inlined into a not so finely tuned outer function and vice versa, our metaprogramming tools see both functions the same, etc.
I want to add my personal bugbear, sortable and filterable tables. And Lists of all links on a page. Oh, also expose RSS feeds again. And what about standard form controls that actually could be styled completely with css? Really, the more I think about it, the more come to mind.

While it sounds like it would make browsers more complex, I think it would actually reduce complexity, because the browser would not need even more programming capability and APIs just to enable web developers to create these kind of features themselves in a thousand variations of Javascript that adds bloat to every connection and slows down end user devices.

I tend to use 'boring' technology if that serves the purpose, and I try to not experiment with new tech in projects that I need to deliver.

For experimentation and prototyping I tend to check out new things, those might end up in the 'boring' stack once I'm familiar with them.

For me it's a personal stack of tools that work for me, and I try not to be too influenced by what's the next new thing on sites like StackOverflow or Hackernews, I use what works for me and what makes my clients happy.

I don't have kids and I'm pretty happy in general. I wouldn't risk that happiness and stability for something I'm not sure I want. I think if I ever want kids but it's too late it would suck. But it wouldn't make me depressed. On the other hand if I have kids and I don't like it there's just no way around. You're stuck for many, many, many years.
I can honestly say that this is the most unusual article I have ever seen on Hacker News.

My two cents, if you want to build a business or a project for a company: go with battle-tested, mature technologies, always. Take away the risk of immature technology getting in the way of the only mission: delivering value to your customer

Being completely ignorant of the fishing industry, these numbers of vessels seem crazy high. I had no idea.

Let's say the Chinese have 15-20,000. What percentage is that of the entire industry? Are there 100,000 distant-water vessels active in the world? Or only 25,000 total?

If the Chinese represent 20% of the world industry, but are trying to feed 18% of the world's population, that doesn't seem outrageous. But if they represent 50% of the world industry, then my eyebrows go up.

At the same time, if the US represents 10% of the industry and 4% of world population, or if UK represents 3% of the industry but <1% of world population, doesn't that make it a bit hard to swallow?

Almost all of the numbers above are made up. I don't know what they really are. That's my point. I'm reluctant to grab my pitchfork with my current level of ignorance.

Early in quarantine, I basically roasted my mental health with wellness practices. Strict diet, running, yoga, breathing exercises, strict sleep schedule, no alcohol, etc. etc. I felt great and in control for a few weeks and then slowly got more and more anxious, which is compounded by the helplessness of 'doing everything right' but not getting the desired result.

I treat big, non-obvious, hard-to-reverse decisions as a task in my to-do list. When I get to them I take some time to write out the options. For larger projects or projects that involve collaboration, this lives in a working design doc. For smaller or personal projects, I keep this in a per-project journal document.

Once the task is checked off, I can mentally free myself from the burden of thinking about the other options. If the decision turns out to cause unforseen problems, I can revisit my notes on why I made the decision and reevaluate with the new information.

We're not in California, but while most people are working from home at my company, there are still 10 or so employees at the office. So as far as electricity usage it's basically business as usual. Most (80%+) of my friends work for similar companies where a small group is at the office so everything is still on, but a lot of people are working from home all day on top of that.
Because the representatives with authority will get voted out by these folks. You have to dance around them, or find technical mitigations to the silliness (substation facades, suboptimal siting, more expensive underground transmission, etc).

It's why you're seeing a rapid uptake in battery storage by consumers in California; it's a hack around regulatory and utility failures (and you get a federal tax credit if it charges primarily from your rooftop solar, which is mandatory on new CA residential construction).

It is ridiculous, and people who are ridiculous must be negotiated with (unfortunately!). I don't know what the solution is besides applying constant pressure in the appropriate direction.

Disclosure: This information comes from my own research, as well as first hand accounts from electrical linemen friends in NorCal upgrading infrastructure.
> What reasoning is holding us up?

People turn their lights on when the sun goes down, and efficient energy storage is the holy grail.

Also fun back of the napkin math with overestimates, if we have a totally efficient Li+ battery with 0.25 kWh/kg energy density, and converted all the world's 40 billion kg of lithium in the crust and oceans to batteries, we'd get roughly 10 TWh of energy storage capacity. Which is enough to power California for 19 days (we generate around 200TWh annually).

In reality we only have access to a tiny fraction of the world's Lithium reserves, batteries aren't that efficient, they're heavy, dangerous, and all that makes for an expensive technology ill suited for grid energy storage (and alternatives like lead-acid are even worse).

Energy storage on the grid is going to look more like dams and reservoirs in the mountains than battery arrays. Even that's not great, ideally we'd invest more into nuclear energy for generating clean power on demand.
