When you are trying to solve a complex optimal payoff problem, you really don't want to get bogged down with lifetimes. That's a completely orthogonal concern to what you are trying to establish. You are not writing production code, you are doing research. It's the core reason why languages with easy REPL and immediate feedback (like matlab, R, python, julia, etc...) are used for research, because you get immediate and interactive feedback. The keyword is interactive.

Once you have to think of types and lifetimes, a lot of the productivity goes down the drain.

99% of the stuff you do in research ends up being consigned to the cutting floor because it doesn't work. The 1% that ends up being useful is the only part worth productionizing.
Huggingface ASR models are not really recommended. The simple fact they don't use beam decoder with LM makes them much less accurate for practical applications. If you compare them to setups like Nemo + pyctcdecode, they will be 30% less accurate.

Also, most of the models there are undertrained.

I would create a static site with Hugo, host the repo on GitHub and then publish it using AWS Amplify. You will probably not go over Amazon’s free tier.

If you want to quickly create a barebones Hugo site, feel free to clone this repo: https://github.com/cpach/piper

AWS Amplify is very convenient to set up.
Diablo Canyon Power Plant may be a lot of things, but neglected is not one of them. I've been onsite for pentests and not only did I feel safe then, I'm typing this from home, just a few miles from the plant's exclusion zone.

Re: decommissioning, I believe you are conflating DCPP with San Onofre.

I completely agree we should have started building more years ago. One interesting idea was (strong emphasis on was) adding units to DCPP. The site can take up to four more units (I've seen the drawings). The major problem with that was the fact that California would require the plant to switch from seawater cooling to cooling towers, which was financially difficult.

That's not true at all. Psychologically speaking, you're more likely to spend money with a company that you've already spent money with in the past. It's exactly that sentiment that marketers try to take advantage of.
Perhaps it's fair to say that a "mistake" in chess is a move that you realise is bad as soon as your opponent makes their replying move (or, in some cases, as soon as you take your hand off the piece you just moved).

I agree. At least an annotation based method of disabling the GIL. If I'm running multi-processing code and its a thread per process then I really don't need the GIL - I should be able to disable it.
Renewables may be cheaper to build, maintain, and decommission but the problem is sometimes the sun doesn't shine and there is no wind. We would have to build storage which is expensive and hope we get enough sun and wind before we run out of what we stored. Why not also use nuclear which doesn't have any of those problems? Sure it maybe more expensive but it is reliable.
> Seem like a massive overreaction.

Everything else I’m reading says that January 2022 was always the planned return-to-office date ( https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/12/facebook-delays-return-to-of... )

The claim that this was related to the recent outage doesn’t match all of the pre-outage articles that also point to the January 2022 date.

Unless someone has evidence that this is a recent change, I think this is a case of heavy editorialization by a journalist eager to capitalize on the combined anger toward Facebook and return-to-office plans.
That's absolutely true, but is that what's happening? That seems like a really important question for this article (and the legion of others like it) to tackle. The linked article even mentions demand in the subhead, and then basically ignores it in the actual body. Thus my frustration.
You could easily skip over the bits where people say it's too expensive in amongst the verbiage that's so confused about why the plant is being shut down.
It seems possible that intel/AMD have used the Python interpreter in some of their benchmarks, with the result that they either add or tune hardware optimizations in ways that help it.

This could mean that people working on the Python interpreter encounter more problems with CPU magic than most people do, since changes they make move it away from what the manufacturers optimized for.
This is reasonable, I guess affordable housing requirements and rent control could be considered a form a redistribution, because they take an already existing supply of housing and force them to be accessible to the poor. Good point.

It does sound a bit circular though - if developers are unwilling to build new housing if they're forced to make some of it affordable, why would they ever build any affordable housing at all if left alone by the government? I guess it depends on the details of the specific policy, so maybe too big a discussion for this thread.
In that scenario I think the freedom was lost when the ethnic cleansing squads were formed, not when the database became available.

Self-Reply addendum: on Discord the devs claim it's nowhere near ready for general use.
Sure, but in chess blundering is more specific in that it means a mistake that is obviously awful. It's the difference between making a poor tactical decision that you might not realize was the reason for your defeat without analysis, and making a move that is so terrible that if you had noticed the issue with it in advance even a low ELO player never would have made it. A hanging piece being given up for no positional advantage is the classical low ELO blunder.

The same thing happened with AT&T. After the government broke them up into the regional "baby bells" in the 80s they started eating each other until only one (Southwestern Bell) was left standing. At which point it bought the shell of the original AT&T corporation and promptly renamed itself "AT&T." The AT&T you buy cell phone service from today is actually Southwestern Bell.

How is a bad configuration change that took out their entire network NOT a single point of failure?

It's not like there were twenty different network engineers that typed the exact same command across their network. Ultimately it was one person who typed "enter" and submitted the bad change. And the problem wasn't even necessarily the change -- mistakes should be expected. The problem was the lack of a back-out strategy in case this happened.
Is it really a problem of Python itself rather than project developers being too lazy to do proper package management?
This is probably somewhat insensitive but given everything recently, if this leads some workers from quitting facebook, it probably will be good for them (the workers that is), or at the very least, a silver lining is easy to see. I don't think or know if fb will fall or decay (or ever will) but after watching their company get so many beatings and if those people are lucky enough to have options, it's not hard to see people wanting to get out. And good for them.

> Headwinds in hiring (there is already a double-digit premium Facebook must pay for talent).

They pay for it on the front end (because they have to compete with other FAANGs) and back end (because there is a point coming soon where Facebook on a resume will be a detriment to a candidate). I will not interview or hire any applicant with Facebook on their resume, and I sincerely doubt that I’m alone in this regard.

fwiw, this applies not only to Facebook. I also extend this policy to anybody who has worked for a military industrial complex death machine, any free to play game maker, and any social media company.
That's too much work. All my kids play. I have been playing since I was a kid myself. It's just a game. Getting into memorization and deep analysis makes it less interesting for me. I've been in the 1800 to 2000 range for a while. Spending too much time getting great at chess is, in my opinion, time that could be better spent getting good at something far more useful in life. Exercise is such an example.

My system is very simple: Before I play a game I must complete at least five consecutive puzzles. Yes, this might mean I play 12 or 20 puzzles before I get five in a row. What's interesting about this is that if I get to a dozen or more puzzles and did not solve five in a row, I take it as an indication that my brain isn't in "chess mode" and go do something else. Every time I ignore this indicator I lose games.

Just work on puzzles and keep it simple. My kids have a great time with this simple rule. They don't have to memorize anything and they progressively get better and better. Above all, they don't get worked-up about losing at all. Keep it simple and fun.
Facebook does in fact habe this as well, they regularly even take out entire datacenters to see if the remaining ones take over automatically.

> i never said entertainment does not contribute to a surrounding industry, i was only pointing out that both sides have it. You are simply pointing out to an instance where the other one does not have an equivalent.

exactly, even if you don't like it. I'm pointing at the opportunities that are being created regardless of any single entity's presence in the region, that you are not including into your original comparison. Other big profitable industries find the UK appealing for large long-term investments. You argue that there's "value lost in this limited context", I argue that the context is wrong and there's a bigger picture where Intel's current hesitation to establish a plant in the UK due to Brexit ramifications is irrelevant. It's irrelevant because Intel is a single player that will not necessarily hold its leadership in the next 10 years, whereas big industries such as Entertainment and Construction have already chosen and commited to their choice by making transactions and building the stuff in the UK, that is many independent companies that form those industries have made this decision and Brexit was not a decisive factor to them. And if it wasn't a decisive factor, then there should be other more important factors that make the UK more appealing to each and every one of them.

They thought the brand alone would be enough, and probably they have been right for a while, so they could sell both the razor and the blades at high prices, but many things changed between the early and late 90s, and the fact that PCs weren't anymore labeled as "IBM compatible" should have raised some flags.
The speed at which they embraced Linux from the late 90s on (*) is an indicator that they were becoming aware of it, but probably have been too slow to adapt to the rest of the industry; I recall in maybe 1999 their C development suite for AIX on AS/400 hardware still cost a boatload of money (like the OS and iron were cheap...) and we already had GCC running on it, but for some problems (possibly with the db interface, can't recall for sure) the company was forced to shell out that money and buy their suite.

(1) I gave a talk at an internal IBM conference in 1997; they were fully aware of Linux and wanted to know more. Word is that Lou Gerstner, then IBM chairman and CEO, asked to some IBM engineers what was all that buzz about Linux about, and some of them replied something like "we are making a huge error we will deeply regret if we don't take it seriously asap", and the rest is history.

If consumers are so likely to confuse "S3" and "R2" that a court would grant trademark enforcement to S3 over this, then Mazda could have successfully sued BMW over the confusion between MX-2 and M3, not to mention the total havoc such a court judgment would wreak upon the SMT labeling industry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28777350

If Cloudflare had an entire AWS-simulation business and was making a clear effort to confuse customers about being "just like AWS, only not Amazon", then that might be an easier case to win, but Cloudflare seems pretty dead-set on being different than AWS (for example, they offer customer support), so that's unlikely.

Amazon might still sue just as saber-rattling, but that would open them up to a SLAPP countersuit, against a party that has repeatedly demonstrated that it is willing to fund lawyers to punish those abusing the legal system — not to mention being mocked around the world for suing over a two character product name with no shared characters.

Nim can use Python's ecosystem in both directions with nimpy https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy and nimporter https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

This lets you gradually transition hot path Python modules to Nim, get compiled performance generally on par with C and Rust, whilst enjoying strong, static typing with great type inference.

In my experience (6-7 years 4 of which are full time) Nim strikes the perfect balance of the productivity you get with Python with high performance at the same time.

Also the metaprogramming features are incredible and, importantly, don't use a language subset but use the base Nim language itself.
GHC has many backends and there is GHCi as well.

"That you can incrementally build performance-critical parts of your system in other languages is a huge success story for Python."

Even 5-10 years ago, that's not a "huge success story"; that's table stakes for any serious language.
In some strange way, that is what I like about the language. OCaml is not about amassing the largest possible user base but making a great programming language. Of course, these two objectives are not contradictory but the point here is that OCaml aspires to be a language on which you can write ground breaking and innovative software, not necessarily _popular_ software.

OCaml has an academic flavor -- maybe it's not as academic as Haskell but it moves in similar ways. There is a desire to be correct and have a theoretical framework instead of amassing a ton of language features. OCaml is the foundation for Coq and other interesting compilers, type checkers and theorem provers. Over the years, the language has grown more mainstream and you can build a decent web backend on it today, for instance.

So fine, maybe multicore won't change adoption of the language in significant ways. But I foresee that the introduction of multicore will allow some amazing software to be written in OCaml in the future. Software that is truly groundbreaking and innovative. Take the example of Coq itself -- it is an important foundational software today in Computer Science. Multicore will allow Coq to potentially speed itself up and that will bring more real world applications in the ambit of Coq.
