It’s more frustrating to want to leave a job and not be able to find one quickly because your experience is in some obscure language.

When I was in the Enterprise/Corp dev world until a couple of years ago, I could call a few recruiters and have 8 interviews and two or three offers within less than a month. It’s easy to pattern match when you use a popular technology.
In DD followed by D3He most of the energy is coming from D3He, especially if you let the tritium decay (admittedly that takes a while.)

The magnetic energy recovery scheme would allow the energy of compression to be recovered at high efficiency. If this worked, they could have a practical, energy producing system even with Q < 1. I believe they are aiming for Q = 0.2.

The idea that it "can at best reach parity with thermal" seems without any justification. Perhaps we could debug the source of your misunderstanding?
The most common reason I see it is to create the initial commit of a repo. This is useful both so you have something to push to a remote, PR against, and because several git commands (most notably rebase variants) need weird switches (eg --root) if you _don't_ have an empty initial commit to refer to instead.

There are two problems, the first is acheiving a good meritocratic system and to that end I agree with your sentiment.

The second problem is intentional and unintentional prejudice and biases people have, there is no way around combating that actively. I don't mean giving someone an upper hand because of their color but focusing on schools and companies that admit and hire applicants in a way that deviates from meritocracy. What prevents someone from thinking "asians are smart" or the unconsciously think "asian CEOs aren't a thing"? (Just an example.)

There will always be a need to enforce meritocracy, use whateber name you like. If all this affirmatice action b.s. is to end the you better also support very agressive meritocracy enforcement and paying taxes to support communities you don't live in that were affected by historical racism and prejudice. If you live in a nice suburb and you don't want to pay taxes for inner city schools, parks,etc... (or rural) then you don't get to complain about bullshit affirmative action. Something gotta give.

Virgil [1] has had compile-time initialization since 2006. There is no restriction on the code that can be run at compile-time. It needs no specific designation--it is simply the initializers of components (globals) and their variables. The entire reachable heap is optimized together with the program to produce a binary.

> How is making sure kids are well educated everywhere "affirmative action"?

Because the admission programs to the desirable schools at all levels utilize affirmative action to try to reach this end.

Source: went to private schools my entire life. Saw affirmative action at every admission level (1st grade, 6th, 9th, undergrad, and grad school). Have plenty of friends today working in some prestigious jobs/industries who were basically pushed to the next level undeservingly for the final ~6-8 years of their education. And even when they weren’t reaching the next rung undeservingly, they were attending a school that they didn’t have the test scores to get into on pure merit alone. And you better believe they displaced more deserving kids from the area.

> Zig's use of comptime is fairly revolutionary in a c-like language.

The D programming language popularized it in 2006 or 2007. Here's it in action:

int square(int x) { return x * x; }

int[square(3)] a; // declare array `a` of 9 ints

The embedded C compiler in D, ImportC, also can do CTFE:

int square(int x) { return x * x; }

_Static_assert(square(3) == 9, "Error, Will Robinson!");

You'll see a lot of that in the test suite for ImportC, because the test suite runs a lot faster if it doesn't need to link and load.
I always figured the solution was a cantenary or third rail style system on major highways.

> the exact same code could operate on the ~28kb of state needed for 64x64.

64x64 seems to need 64 bits for values, ie 8 bytes before we consider the known case, but there are 4096 cells. So that's surely 32kB of state immediately ?

It seems to me that if we don't care to distinguish whether we "know" a value for which there is only one possibility, we can save encoding this, so the 9x9 board only needs 9 bits per cell, the 64x64 board only needs 64-bits.

In this case we can answer "known?" as is_power_of_two() and we can find the known value using e.g. trailing_zeros() which is cute.

From Kerzgesagt Immune Chapter 42:

"At least for now, there are no scientifically proven ways to directly boost your immune system with any products that are easily available. And if there were, it
would be very dangerous to use them without medical supervision."

...

"Talking about boosting the immune system and the unscientific claims made by many people working in the multibillion-dollar industry of selling supplements would be mildly funny, as the majority of people at worst are wasting money...
And these people, who often are desperate to alleviate their symptoms or are
just frankly trying to survive, are the ones who might fall victim to the empty
promises of the supplement industry. Even worse, some might even go as far as
to disregard real medical treatment as a consequence of these lies supported by
greed or well-meaning but ill-advised appeals to naturalism. These broken ideas
about health and boosting the immune system can be perpetuated only by our
collective misunderstanding of the mechanisms of our own immune system and
what it actually is."

...

"Your immune system is much more
dangerous to your survival than any pathogen ever could be. Think of Ebola, even this pretty disgusting and horrible disease needs about six days to kill you. Your immune system has the power to kill you in about fifteen minutes."

Did he though? I mean, I get that he called COVID-19 the kung fu flu... but that was more directed towards China and suggesting that they were responsible, meaning their government. I guess he could have consistently clarified that it was directed towards the Chinese government, but I don't know if he bears the brunt of responsibility of dumb people that think China meant all Asians and to not be able to understand the distinction between their government and people.

I don't think the Democrats get the same kind of flack from criticizing China without spelling out that they are referring to the government and policies.

An alternative take via The Conversation [1]:

> Based on anecdotal evidence from other lotteries, this number may not at all be unusual. We also need to consider the many thousands of similar lotteries drawn around the world each year, almost all of which receive no international press. While such outcomes are highly improbable for any given draw, the huge number of total lotteries means it’s actually quite likely at least one of them will produce a remarkable outcome by chance alone.

I'm sorry you feel so cynical about this. It's absolutely true that Google is profit-seeking, that these models are very expensive to build, and that if there's a competitive advantage to be had, Google should probably try to retain it.

But even with that all being true, real people (typically some thoughtful researchers) build these models. And my point is: _there really are ethical reasons to keep large generative models trained on flawed data away from the general public until better safeguards are in place._ You can verify this for yourself by reading about ML bias and safety. Don't let cynicism keep you from internalizing that fact. OpenAI didn't make GPT-3 widely available for the same reason.

At the end of the day, Google doesn't need an excuse like "we have ethical qualms" to not release the models. Stuff that is really secret sauce you won't hear about until many years later when it's not a competitive advantage anymore. Google _does_ need to cover its ass and not deal with its employees yelling that it helped perpetuate algorithmic racism, or surveillance state, or increased levels of inauthenticity on the internet.

When I said "Google has a responsibility" -- I don't mean that the faceless entity feels responsibility, I mean the people who work on the specific things have a responsibility and they do feel & act on that. If you work on lifesaving drugs that could also be dangerous / addictive, it's kind of on you to be thoughtful about how to make them generally available, no?
Not only were they an incredible community, they were early internet pioneers too. rec.music.gdead was a very busy usenet community.
I have a friend that swears up and down that his startup on Erlang was able to deliver incredible speed of development and stability specifically because of language choice.

WhatsApp, Facebook Chat used Erlang, and Discord is still using Elixir… make of that what you will, I suppose.

And Ruby / Rails + your frontend of choice is still a ridiculously productive stack to bring up an app, and probably run it at any scale you’re likely to realistically hit (poster child being Shopify)… if you ever get to stage of “scaling problems”, you are at a stage where you’d be rearchitecting parts of your stack regardless of what your original implementation was in.

So in sum, choosing a particular language because of popularity, I think, is not particularly useful framing. I’d say, choose one because it either gives you joy to write in and maps to your thought process well, or because it has a particularly strong ecosystem for the subject matter. Life is too short to program every day in a language that you dislike just because you think it’s the “safe choice” :)
