I started investing in stocks couple of years ago. It is probably not what you wanted to hear but it makes me a lot of money and allowed me to retire in my 30s, as a minimalist. I am a long-term investor(I hold positions at least 1 year) so the time it requires is essentially none.

Besides that I tried to run multiple project in my past but none took off. The problem is that the internet has been monopolized and it is no longer about the idea or being better than competition but it is 100% about money you spend on advertising. That's what killed all my projects. I still do them because I like to code but I don't expect to ever succeed. The goods times for the internet, around 2010s, are long gone.
Pure conjecture with no basis other than some loosely associated facts my brain associates and recalls at this moment:

The heat that would otherwise be absorbed by the oceans is being absorbed by earth itself now resulting in magma heating up and liquifying. There is not a small chance that because of the weakening magnetic field on earth, combined with the current high activity on the sun that this is resulting in a cooking of the earth resulting in earths core heating up. Another hint at this occurring is that earth keeps breaking rotational speed records with a new record being set multiple times this year with the most recent just a few days ago. Also see the magnetic poles shifting more rapidly recently. My bet is we start seeing more volcanos pop off soon. There was nearly an 8.0 earthquake just yesterday.
- Jupiter: Yes, Julia was one of the first non-python IPython/Jupiter kernel
- Pandas: DataFrames.jl
- Numpy: Basically the available as part of the stdlibs/language
- Scipy: Yes, but not as one meta package
- Matplotlib: Yes directly as Pyplot.jl or in alternatives such as Plots.jl or Makie.jl

- Pytorch/Tensorflow: There are several ML Frameworks written in Julia (as well as Julia bindings to ML Frameworks) the biggest Julia native one is likely Flux.jl

Regarding HF Transformers a quick Google points to
https://github.com/chengchingwen/Transformers.jl but I have not had any personal experience with.

All of this is build by the community and your mileage may vary.

In my rather biased opinion the strengths of Julia are that the various ML libraries can share implementations, e.g. Pytorch and Tensorflow contain separate Numpy derivatives. One could say that you can write an ML framework in Julia, instead of writting a DSL in Python as part of your C++ ML library. As an example Julia has a GPU compiler so you can write your own layer directly in Julia and integrate it into your pipeline.
Well my point is that there's a lot of mixed liability things baked in, so there are many many many many things that can make a driver liable, because there's not this fear of "what about in this extenuating circumstance X???"

The change is mostly around making rules more strict for cyclists, as cyclists... well, they also pose a danger to pedestrians! There is a pretty famous case of a cyclist hitting an old lady and killing her.

Some people moving here get annoyed because a lot of times the liability split ends up being 90% driver/10% victim, because there are technicalities, but generally speaking even for pretty "egregious" behavior from pedestrians the driver is ultimately expected to be doing their best. Things like "but there was a blind corner, how could I know somebody was going to ride from that corner" hold no water because drivers are supposed to slow down in those cases, for example. I don't know the state of liability in the US but I imagine it's a bit less victim-friendly.

As someone once said, "Python isn't the best language for anything, but it's the second-best language for almost everything".

If we don't get hung up on the exact literalness of that statement, there's a lot of truth to it. Being essentially a "lingua franca" that's easy to pick up has accelerated it in various seemingly unrelated fields. This, I assume, it to the seeming detriment of use-case specific languages like Julia.
You imply that any political discussion is activism. That is nonsense. And not all political topics are divisive. And it’s fine to disagree and move on.

I was in HPC for a long time - Fortran was and is still popular! It’s a virtuous cycle. Science students learn Fortean because it’s what their professors know. HPC has a lot of regular scientists, not computer scientists, doing their own research at huge scale.

Is it similar in ML?
Quite regularly in Python, despite the stack limitation.

Why? It's sometimes the only elegant way to walk over small tree-like data structures, the depth of which you can be safely assured will never approach Python inbuilt limit (and if they did, it would always be a data error that should fail anyways).

I do wish Python had Perl-style tail-recursion though.
That is the price for the software + the hardware to actually run it at an acceptable speed.

You have to get these things right early-on, and get everyone on the same page. Once things start to get fragmented, once you have historical decisions that prevent you from improving certain aspects, etc, there's only so much you can do to after the fact to paper over the gaps.

Python's packaging story is rotten in its bones. I think at this point it's nearly impossible to fix (though many continue to try).

The way I see it, a solution would require:

- A cohesive, self-contained, easy to use, all-inclusive toolset, with a completely standardized manifest format for packages. And, for all that is holy, doesn't mess with the global environment so that we have to lie to it with virtual environments.

- That toolset would have to get overwhelming adoption by the community, to where it retroactively becomes The Python Package Manager (outside of legacy codebases, which would continue to languish). This would probably require endorsement by the Python developers, or for the tool to be so unassailably better that it's preferred without exception, or possibly both. Otherwise we'll continue to have: https://xkcd.com/927/

I want to emphasize that on the second point 50% adoption is not enough. 70% adoption is not enough. I'm talking 90%+ adoption for libraries and new projects; everything outside of it needs to be a rounding error, or we're still in fragmentation hell.

And then even in the best case- there would be a long tail for years to come of packages that haven't been ported to the new tool/manifest format, where you have to duck out to one of the other package managers to pull them in.

Cloud engineer. Must write Cloudformation templates if AWS, know many resource types and properties, know linux and networks. Python is a plus for fringe cases automation, when there is no clear cloud vendor solution.

PS: Did not read TFA
Apple compared M1 max to RTX 3080 (mobile) which was a stretch.

M1 ultra was compared to RTX 3090 which was a larger stretch.

The M1 max deliver about 10.5 tflops
The M1 ultra about 21 tflops.

The desktop RTX 3080 delivers about 30 tflops and RTX 3090 about 40.

Apple’s comparison graph showed the speed of the M1s vs. RTXs at increasing power levels, with the M1s being more efficient at the same watt levels (which is probably true). However, since the graph stopped before the RTX GPUs reached full potential, the graph was somewhat misleading.

The M1 max and Ultra have extra video processing modules that make them faster than the RTX GPUs at some video tasks though.
I think you’re right, fairness matters.

But not always… when you’re the shepherd you should spend emotional energy on fairness. But when you’re the sheep you should not. When you’re the sheep you give a little BAaaa and then move on.

The key is knowing which moments in life you’re the shepherd and which ones you’re the sheep.
Sure, but that's not readable for most people. A good article for the general audience would explain the important parts. (Consider the difference between reading a science article for the Atlantic or the New Yorker and reading scientific papers.)
For two kids? Not even a van, just a station wagon.
Julia's main selling point over Python is its speed, but most Python deep learning libraries are just wrappers around C/C++/Fortran/CUDA/Cython codebases that are as fast or faster than Julia.
Let’s put a cap on living years.
A sibling pointed out that there is a bunch of this stuff already in Julia. I’ll add, though, that the ML stuff isn’t quite as mature as the whole Python ecosystem. In addition to native offerings like Flux, there are bindings to things like PyTorch, and, more generally, calling Python is pretty trivial.

I’d say that Julia’s arrays are significantly better than NumPy. Julia’s broadcast operator is like ufuncs except way easier and way faster.

The machinery around GPUs is better, too, in my opinion. GPU support isn’t coupled to other concerns like automatic differentiation. You can write generic code in a broadcasting style (which is, again, a lot nicer than NumPy by default) or very easily write your own kernels.

Multithreading is also way better than in other scientific computing languages.
Out of curiosity, what stocks would you (or anyone reading my comment) recommend for someone in their late 40s? TIA.
Few ways, in no particular order:

- are.na seems to attract people who have odd interests and it’s full of quirky websites

- webrings are still a thing and there’s a bunch out there worth checking out

- directories like https://512kb.club/ are usually full of interesting sites

- by following links on blogs and sites you find interesting

- some cool forums are still out there (https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php)

Shameless plug but I am currently curating https://theforest.link precisely because of the issue you’re describing.

I never claimed to be a victim of it. All I said what this mentality has driven me off from contributing/joining various groups because of the fear of these people existing in the ranks. The constantly changing rules of what is right, what is wrong, what words are "good" and "bad", political alignments, etc is all too much for me to even try to understand further than not understanding is a reason to attack me according to these kinds of people.

If I was attacked by it, I'd be a victim. I'm not a victim, but I exercise an abundance of caution (conversations as brief, formal, and public as possible and recorded when not) when dealing with this kind of person in the workplace and I'd rather not have to do even more of that in my free time. I already spend enough clock cycles trying to identify these people so I know who to avoid, monitor, or if I'm forced to talk to them arrange a proper meeting/recording so everything is in the clear. Perhaps I am being extreme, but if I lose my health insurance I die and I cannot reasonably let some punk take that away from me so easily.

I did it so I could show some reason to admit me to the course. Absent any relevant work experience they needed some evidence I could think think and write. They asked for a notarized copy as part of the application process. Legible bureaucratic qualifications are a good thing to have if you’re trying to get another legible bureaucratic qualification.
That is also terrible and we shouldn't let it happen.
This is true, and the reason why most roads should be heavily narrowed to have their design speed match their speed limit.

Speed limits get automatically complied with when it feels unsafe for the driver to exceed them, and all places where automobiles are permitted should be adapted to that reality.

> Or the equations are only approximations that hold under certain conditions?

Well, clearly that's possible. What is it with people on HN coming up with "gotchas" regarding topics they know nothing about?

He didn't say there could not ever be equations that show "nothingness turning into somethingness", all he says is that we have no way of showing it with what we know, what we can deduce, and much less what we can prove. If there are equations that satisfy the constraints, we're not aware of them yet (the same way we don't know yet how to combine general relativity and quantum mechanics). According to our current understanding, "the universe did not spring into existence, it has always existed, though perhaps not in its current form".

If you want to suggest random ideas, maybe you want to back them up with more than just "but what if they do exist?"

Of all the reasons to criticize Clippy, the notion of it evoking a sense of the “constant male gaze” is… something.

Clippy didn’t have a gender, how could something like this possible be avoided? I’m asking with a bit of snark, but I’m genuinely open to a serious answer. I’m worried that the solution would just be an attempt at making the dialogue even more obtuse, or making the avatar overtly feminine.
For me, in my 40s and based in Australia, I am invested in Apple and a three different ETFs.

(Battery) tech moves a lot quicker when there's such a big profit incentive from even marginal gains. Cell phones, power tools, EVs, energy storage, are all big money makers that add huge incentives.

That didn't exist anywhere near to that degree in 1980. You're also talking about a tech that was very early in its growth/learning curve. We have had many irons in this fire for a very long time, we have seen continuous incremental improvements, and I expect that to continue. Obviously lithium based chemistries are very well known and studied, and I expect them to hang around a very long time.

But 28 years is an eternity in these circles, and if lithium scarcity becomes a big issue, yes I do expect that we'll invest a lot of research and money into finding workable alternatives.
That's a really good point. It would be interesting to run the tests 10 times and have the CI fail if it doesn't pass all 10 times.
Julia provides no meaningful advantages. PyTorch and JAX are too good. For typical deep learning workloads, Julia will not easily have a speed advantage. Everything goes down to the same cuDNN kernels anyway.

Julia seems like an attempt at a better matlab, but the machine learning world moved to python first.

(Also 1-based indexing is almost as obnoxious as the 24/7 Julia shill brigade.)

I might be not the average user, but then again users are usually very heterogeneous. So here is my Julia journey:

When I want to experience a new language, I got to a place on the web, where I can try it.

For Python, there are https://www.online-python.com/ and many others.

For PHP there are https://3v4l.org and many others.

For Javascript there are https://jsfiddle.net/ and many others.

But every time I think "Hey, I might give Julia a try", I go to Google and type "try julia online" and find nothing. Every site either wants me to sign up or is dysfunctional. So I think "What? That cannot be. Lets try a different search". And search for "julia online repl". Again. Nothing works. And I give up.

I just did this again.

And I might try again in a year or so.

That's the situation here regarding Julia.
Forget "sprang." You said this:

> Before the existence of our universe, there was no time.

This is just a logical error. Unless you're using "before" in some novel way that needs clarifying.

To be clear: The author is saying that the universe has no beginning in time (and no outer bound of space). Once you remove your logical error of presupposing time before time, you are saying that the universe has a beginning in time (and presumably is enclosed within spatial bounds).

Is this not what you're saying?

The esteemed author, in saying confidently that there is no "before" the universe because the universe has no beginning, falls into the same trap that you do but lands on the other side of Kant's Antinomy: the author takes the empiricist stance in the dialectic, and you take the dogmatic stance. But even so, at least the author's stance is amenable to the infinite empirical regression of scientific practice; your stance just "puts speculative reason to slumber."
The relative feebleness of x86 iGPUs is partly about the bad software situation (fragmentation etc, the whole story of how webgl is now the only portable way) and lack of demand for better iGPUs. AMD tried the strategy of beefier iGPUs for a while with a "build it and they [software] will come" leap of faith but pulled back after trying for many years.

In my opinion it’s a pragmatic approach. When these roles get lumped together it creates conflicts of interest that have materially adverse effects on productivity.

That said, you’re right most companies will hire 50 engineers and 10 managers before they hire a single coach or project manager. Or allow IC leads to make their own decisions. So for those companies it’s theoretical. :)

But these roles all exist. You’ll find job listings on LinkedIn for all of them. So they’re happening somewhere!
