I'd be very curious to see a source about your claim that Python is slowing down for uses outside of deep learning, I'm pretty sure you just made that up and it's false, not to be blunt
Fiat money is the outcome of unfettered capitalism. The government needs money to pay its loans that it took with interest, so what does it do? Detach the currency from anything tangible like gold or other precious metals, then print more money as it desires, devaluing the hard work of people who are trying to save money.

There's a reason that interest and usury are prohibited in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

Market competition is good. Interest and usury are destructive dangerous practices.
Congratulations to the team, it looks extremely impressive!

It's the project management tradeoff; they chose to acquire technical debt in favor of short-term performance, which I'm sure at the time was the way to go (you don't want to be left behind), but now they're paying off the debt, and it sounds like it's a big one.

Reworking existing code is super expensive.

"After graduating from medical school, DOs take a rigorous national licensure exam, which contains the same material as the exam to become an MD. Both kinds of doctor are licensed by state medical examination boards."
That's an interesting approach. The problem is that the function to be applied after the convolution is binary, hence not differentiable. You could replace it with a soft variation, my (wild) guess is it would still be difficult to converge:

* If the transitions are too sharp it will behave like the stepwise, non-differentiable original

* If the transitions are too soft, the optimization will converge to some middle-state compromise that will not behave as desired when binarized

But that's just speculation. Also interesting to note that in the very relevant Kaggle competition [0], top solutions don't mention differentiable approaches (as far as I've seen, I admit I haven't looked too deeply).

I'd actually say the opposite. In my experience, n-dimensional arrays for example are very useful for problems that don't have anything to do with linear algebra. And in Julia it's just so convenient that all the high level functions manipulating such arrays are fast, and therefore much simpler to write.
> Choosing to forego generics and do everything with a comptime abstraction makes Zig a lot easier to understand, compared to Rust generics and traits. The downside is that documentation and predictability suffers.

If I understand correctly it also means that Zig will never support inference of generic type parameters. Not a dealbreaker, but unfortunate.

I also wonder how relying on comptime for all these things will affect IDE support. I guess the IDE will need to run these comptime computations a lot.

Talking has different functions; it's not just a mean to deliver a message.

If we want to be technical, one could imagine small talk as the handshake (and/or the keepalive) of human/social/emotional connection.

I believe that people who display an aversion in line of principle to small talk, have difficulties to communicate with people in general.

> the startup speed problem can be solved in Julia and they don't need a rockstar advisor to do it. I think the solutions are already pretty well known.

> And that is already being done. First time to plot will be twice as fast as it used to be in the next Julia release. Further improvements can be done

I'm really, really happy to hear that! I hope the Julia runtime becomes more and more streamlined in the (near) future.

See, I was just stating my use case, without pretense that it is representative at all. Yet I received 20 upvotes in a few minutes, and Julia is maybe the only language where "time to first plot" is a thing. So I'm not completely alone in my (admittedly minoritary) concern.

You say that rewriting everything in Julia would solve my problem. I'm sure that this is the case, but this is not at all my point. Some of us do not want a shell replacement, we want a bc replacement, and julia is a nearly perfect one, if it wasn't for the outrageously slow startup time. I have zero interest in the julia REPL, I just write julia scripts (among scripts in other languages) and I'm not willing to change that.

I don’t understand your point here—if I’m traveling to a foreign country and I’m asking about what’s offensive because I don’t want to offend the locals and be an annoying, insensitive tourist, then I’m just automatically being “woke” instead of trying to genuinely learn about the indigenous culture from the point of view of the locals?

Get a study bible. The Bible itself is a vast work of literature spanning millennia and isn’t meant to be read cover to cover like a novel. It does not contain enough contextualization to guide you. You will require outside context for understanding.

A study bible will help with this. Also, read the Wikipedia page for each book of the Bible before you read that book. It will greatly help your understanding.

I am an atheist but have read the Bible extensively because it’s the foundation of western literature.

That does not really reflect the modern understanding of how people age and learn.

There are some things you can learn only as a child. Those differences become apparent only with feral children who fail to adapt to society at later age.

Programming languages and frameworks are created as tools for humans. You are never too old to learn to use tools for pragmatic use cases.

I actually have very similar experiences. I want to like Julia and I look at it from time to time. The hype is always that it allows one to write C-speed code with the simplicity of python, without the idiosyncrasies of numpy. But every time I look I find just as many little things to look out for if one cares about performance, don't use abstract types is another one.

I understand why this is the case and I don't have an issue generally with it, but considering that I know Python well, and know how to speed up Python using numba, pythran or cython, I don't see what I would gain by investing in Julia.

Instead I've now decided to learn Rust, as it fills a different niche and I can use it for writing python modules for some of my bottleneck code.
TDD does not mean "small unit tests at the method level in code".

It means you code your test cases before you implement the functionalities. Those tests can (and IMO should) be behavior tests: then you can rip out all your code and replace it with whatever you like, even off-the-shelf software and your test suite will still run.

The excuse of those kind of tests being slow or hard to setup mean only one thing: we have to work on their tooling.

I miss the convenience of pushing a physical thing that I own into a slot on a device that I own and hitting a physical button labelled 'play'. Especially when the cheap app running on an expensive tablet that connects my expensive physical speakers to the library of all the music I could possibly want to rent for some reason can't see the speakers, even though I have rebooted my wifi, logged off and back into my streaming service account, re-installed the app, updated the speaker's firmware, etc etc.

Very nice! Some states have multiple ancestors, some have none, so these are "dead ends" when going backwards. But when you are just looking for an approximation of the final state, as in TFA, you can probably accept quite some perturbation, which could make it significantly easier to go backwards in a naive way and sometimes miss a few cells in the process.
By the way, the way she found the "true value" of the integral to verify her method was to graph it on graph paper and count the squares underneath.
I am not saying that you have to test every single piece of your code, but IMO sooner or later you will be forced to do so. Weather it is through the type checker (static or gradual), unit tests or manual tests is up to you. Unit tests just make this a little easier. You can replicate unit tests every time you commit (testing for bugs) without writing them down.
I'm not familiar with Yggdrasil but familiar with cjdns and since there seems to be a lineage, I could tell you that cjdns is using curve25519, xsalsa20, and poly1305. Not sure if that's what Yggdrasil ended up using.
> "They only change when their positions are threatened (i.e. being voted out of office in the civilized case)."

This is only true in some cases, not in all. The first Dutch king, Willem I, was originally made an absolute king and liked it that way, but later decided to have Thorbecke write a liberal constitution that would severely limit his power. Of course there were plenty calls in the country to do that, but he wasn't facing a revolution, and couldn't be voted out. Unless you count the Belgian independence from a couple of years earlier, but that had already happened and wasn't prevented by this decision.

There are plenty of other cases where people decided to do the right thing because they saw it was the reasonable thing to do without being forced to.

But the US refusing to change the broken electoral system from 250 years ago is also on the voters themselves, who keep voting for parties that don't want to improve the system. Keep voting out all incumbents until they fix the problem.
I hear what you're saying with the case for inflated fundamentals, and we are for sure in a super bubble as you said. The examples you note are also pretty good points of data for your case. But think about the other side. If Instacart would've been invented by Kroger (or any other grocery blue chip), why wasn't it?

There's a reason why that's the case, and that is the premium that investors are paying for. An enormous part of the bull case for Instacart, much like other tech companies, is that they are highly leveraged marketing operations which operate on zero marginal cost of distribution. Granted, Instacart is definitely more of on the operational side than pure marketing, but you could say the same thing about Amazon. Amazon's advertising revenue line has experienced breakneck growth over the past few years; from what I hear, the same is occurring with Instacart.

If you put all of that together, it doesn't really make sense to compare Instacart to a blue chip company that operates in its space because they operate completely and allocate capital completely differently. You wouldn't compare Amazon to Sears.
Indeed. It's called "the topic".

In the Raku Programming Language it is set with various explicit commands, such as `given` (just set it) or `with` (only fire if instantiated). Method calls without an invocant, are executed on the toppic. Together with phasers, this combines into:

It sounds to me like people get hurt by microagressions because they have been taught that microagressions exist in the first place. That is once you have been convinced that microaggressions are a problem you will find them everywhere, since they are primarily a matter of interpretation. The entire concept then creates a negative environment where everyone feels they need to walk on eggshells all the time. This is more unhealthy to society and groups, than the microaggressions. It creates distrust, where assuming the best fosters trust. I see the entire concept of "microaggressions" as a downward spiral.

It depends on the problem you have, "do excel-type business analysis" or "write a CRUD app" are things any language can do. Julia solves hard problems.

Neuro-differential equations, energy grid optimization (Ivenia), database implementations (RelationalAI, see Jamie Brandon's talk on why Julia specifically is suitable for this), DSL implementations (Stan, &etc). Writing high-performance simulations (no, slow langs won't cut it, if you want tight loops you need low-level control such as cache-coherent memory layouts, vectorized instructions, &c).

I think the article is spot on. We live in a sanitized, sexless culture that glorifies self-optimisation without purpose. Baudrillard however already recognised this a while ago in America (1989)

"The skateboarder with his Walkman, the intellectual working on his wordprocessor, the Bronx breakdancer whirling frantically in the Roxy, the jogger and the body-builder: everywhere, whether in regard to the body or the mental faculties, you find the same blank solitude, the same narcissistic refraction. This omnipresent cult of the body is extraordinary. It is the only object on which everyone is made to concentrate, not as a source of pleasure, but as an object of frantic concern, in the obsessive fear of failure or substandard performance, a sign and an anticipation of death, that death to which no one can any longer give a meaning, but which everyone knows has at all times to be prevented. The body is cherished in the perverse certainty of its uselessness, in the total certainty of its non-resurrection. Now, pleasure is an effect of the resurrection of the body, by which it exceeds that hormonal, vascular and dietetic equilibrium in which we seek to imprison it, that exorcism by fitness and hygiene. So the body has to be made to forget pleasure as present grace, to forget its possible metamorphosis into other forms of appearance and become dedicated to the Utopian preservation of a youth that is, in any case, already lost. For the body which doubts its own existence is already half-dead, and the current semi-yogic, semi-ecstatic cult of the body is a morbid preoccupation. The care taken of the body while it is alive prefigures the way it will be made up in the funeral home, where it will be given a smile that is really ‘into’ death.

This ‘into’ is the key to everything. The point is not to be nor even to have a body, but to be into your own body. Into your sexuality, into your own desire. Into your own functions, as if they were energy differentials or video screens. The hedonism of the ‘into’: the body is a scenario and the curious hygienist threnody devoted to it runs through the innumerable fitness centres, bodybuilding gyms, stimulation and simulation studios that stretch from Venice to Tupanga Canyon, bearing witness to a collective asexual obsession"

I’m personally of the opinion that one should learn new languages, so that even if you don’t put them into production, you’re exposed to the ideas and approaches they bring-which might be foreign to your current language of choice-and this can give you new ideas about how to best tackle problems in your day-to-day.

I’ll probably never convince my .Net-wielding team members to write a web API in Haskell, and that’s ok, and I’m not about to rewrite my data pipelines in it (even though that might be fun), but the ideas about purity/mutation, cleanly-separating IO, composition, etc have benefitted my teammates and I immensely with the code at work though.
The github page sounds like there might be experimental support. There are instructions to build a windows VR version. I could not find much more information about it though.

I know that these forums are hosted in Russia but no way you would dump cybercrime's forum database no law enforcement agency would do this. When US seized the servers of Liberty Reserve their used its database to further investigate and arrest cyber criminals, hackers and spammers not to like someone said "dump it and encite a war between different groups."

Btw the most wanted hacker in the world was identified when his Jabber server was hosted in USA not in Russia. US used this opsec mistake and seized the server.

Russian cyber criminals often travel to Europe to countries like Czech Republic and Spain or to neighboring East Europe that's where they get arrested.
