Not really surprised they did this, but be sure some communities will have it fine tuned on porn now-ish. So probably they did it for legal reasons in case illegal materials are generated and they are real companies/people with their names on the release?

(I might be very wrong as I don't have time to check every statement):

Actually the theory of static typing appeared _after_ the theory of dynamic typing.

So the history seems to be:

1. dynamic types

2. static types

Thus you can say some people didn' get the memo that we tried static typing and it not a panacea. It fits very well some cases and it does not fit some other cases.

Dynamic typing is here to stay, so is static typing.

And when referring to Ruby here is how to think about it:

Ruby is strongly typed, but it does not use static type checking thus it is defined as dynamically typed.

The robots aren't going to get killed. They can't justify using lethal force because the robot feared for its safety.

The whole benefit of a robot is that no lives are put at risk. The robot just rolls up to the suspect while tanking a hail of bullets and subues him. No one has to die.

The robots should not be authorized to kill anything.

No, that is basic constitutionalism.

In unitary state citizens have equal rights w.r.t. any part of the country. Asserting that just a part of population should unilaterally decide such important decision that have effect on rights of all citizens, and the other part have no say in it, is fundamentally against equal rights.

I actually thought it made sense for a few years at first, but you’re right. The massive list of significant externalities rapidly makes it seem like it isn’t worth it.

Worth noting too is that the push for more energy was actually generated in large part by resource extraction industry such as fracking, so the megawatts generated would be going towards further generation of high-carbon and otherwise environmentally destructive energy generation.

I’m not kidding myself, I know BC is in a rough spot in terms of meaningful GDP growth and outside of real estate, things like this are going to make a significant impact on the bottom line. I know modern life requires a lot of energy.

It’s so disheartening to see our province race to the bottom constantly. We’ve got opportunities to be a model province, to set an example, invest in our kids and future generations through new industries and cleaner energy generation. We consistently choose not to. We lean on hydro like a crutch and increasingly turn to natural gas as well. Our kids will resent us for it, theirs will too, and the hole we’re digging will take that much longer for them to climb out of.

I think a weird irony about BC is that we’re surrounded by some of the most overtly stunning and beautiful landscapes in the world, but we’re bizarrely content to destroy them and remain ignorant of their ecologies and how critical they are for our collective well-being. You’d think we’d praise the land here for what it has given us, but… No, even with tourism being such a large industry with incredible growth potential, we behave as though nature is an endless faucet of wealth generation.

The problem with being extraordinarily is you need a measure. And as we all know measures can be misleading. The big billionaires businesses are powered by many extraordinary efforts by extraordinary people, but when measured in $, fame, titles, accolades they seem ordinary. Those same people may provide an awesome environment for their kids to grow up or be cherished friends or help their neighbours.

Like the strict MLs (ocaml, Standard ML, F#, ...), while Lisp and Scheme can express the Haskell idioms it lacks the pervasive laziness that makes them (somewhat) efficient. For instance one might write `zip [0..] xs` to number the list `xs` in a single pass. This lack of laziness (even on code that does notionally work without it) manifests in blowing stacks, in Scala at least. Also the lack of types (type classes) precludes at least some things such as the `deriving` mechanism.

For all that you're dead right about Python.

.. you forgot to mention also, that (in the context of a D module) D stops treating a user-defined class-type as real type. Additionally, a D class is a reference type. Whereas in C++, a class type is a real type (treated as any built-in type), and is a value type (by default).

Nor does D have a concept of C++ friend.

So even when it comes to classes, C++ and D are miles apart.

How could any replication study sample from the same pattern of people, given that there are so many cultures with different ways of living, eating, spending time etc. All of these cultures also constantly change. Universal representativity is unattainable, so any replication will have a number of unknown sample variables that changed. This is still not highlighted enough in most papers I read.

Speaking of important distinctions, concurrency isn't a property of a language, but rather a property of a runtime. It's the old procedure vs process distinction. Now a language can have nondeterministic constructs that beg for a concurrent runtime, but that doesn't actually require it. After all, a nondeterministic construct can be implemented deterministically. If the language doesn't specify the order the nondeterministic cases are handled in, then the runtime is free to handle them in some deterministic way.

Incidentally that's the root of the misconception that pure functional languages are easier to reason about. It's operational reasoning that's problematic, because simulating a nontrivial state machine in one's mind is a great cognitive challenge for those of us who are less bright than John von Neumann. However, the Dutch basically solved this problem and provided a logical framework for reasoning about imperative programs in a way based off the program text, with no need for attempting to mentally simulate the probably infinite set of possible processes it describes.

I agree that this a big wave, but I'm still struggling to find commercial (read: large organizations) applications.
> Applications these days - well, a large number of them - need to be realtime

A large number of applications where and for what purpose? I think a large number of applications don't need to be realtime. The majority of applications exist that we never see, or frankly never know exist: SMBs that we've never heard of that are approaching (or have approached) the seven-figure revenue mark.

I do think, though, that a large number of developers have had their perception poisoned by this very crowd: that they need real-time, or a front-end framework, or plans for massive scale because they think they have to build the next Stripe or Twitter or FAANG-scale thing. Many of us, just like many applications, aren't going to scale like that, or hold those jobs.

The internet blossomed without real-time just fine. I think that it'd be just fine without it.

I once worked for RCA and I briefly met David Sarnoff during the opening of a new RCA plant in Australia. I liked working for company and I found the electronics work I was doing there interesting—in fact it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. I was later involved with the introduction of FM into Australia but that's a separate story.

That said, David Sarnoff was a nasty opportunistic litigious man and frankly the way he treated Armstrong, Philo Farnsworth and others was despicable.
Hello Steven, what is the use case of this tool?
I like to check the upcoming directions against my surroundings -- ok I turn at the light after next, where is that visually right now and what distinctive things are before it. Which turns out to be pretty close to the same shape as at least one method for studying new topics.

If you're trying to build an app based on SD, then not being open source matters. But seems like the majority of use cases are just "I want to run the model locally". And at that point HF can't stop me from just ripping the Wi-Fi card out of my computer.

there is no economic system which treats people equally, and there never will be, because it is the creation and use of money which turns good people into bad people.

money is Aladdin's Lamp; money grants wishes, and no matter who you are or what you have, you will always want more. there will always be a non-zero number of people who want "more" enough that they feel it is ok that others suffer so that it be obtained.

humans create economies wherever they go, and they always have.
money takes no action on its own, so humans are the problem. we will be our own demise.

our end will not be due to a supernova or space aliens or anything outside of our own control. we will destroy ourselves unless we somehow change ourselves enough that Aladdin's Lamp no longer holds sway over our lives. that will not happen for 100,000,000 generations of humanity, if it ever happens.

it is in our very being to destroy things or people for personal gain, and everyone who thinks they are entitled to do it will do it.

we may never truly fail as a species (though that is definitely within our reach today) but we will not succeed as a species, either. Aladdin's Lamp is always too close.

They don't. The training dataset though, may have been obtained through human rights violation. The problem is when the novelty starts to wear out. Then they will start to look for fresh training data which may again incur more human rights violation. If you can ensure that no new training data are obtained that way, then I guess it's okay?

Thank you for taking the time to respond! All very fair points.

The post was definitely written as a content marketing piece for Reflame, but I did also write it with the genuine intent to give an apples-to-apples comparison between the current popular deployment services in use by most people today, that could be useful even for someone who's completely disinterested in ever using Reflame (you're totally right that comparing Reflame to the others is apples-to-oranges, and I honestly did try to disemphasize those kinds of comparisons in the discussions). Hopefully that was true for you as well, but I apologize if the self-promotion was too in-your-face. Will try to do better next time.

Re: scale. Reflame is definitely playing on easy mode at the moment since the deployment service is sitting idle most of the time, and ready to process requests at a moment's notice. The real test will be when we have enough traffic to start saturating compute on individual nodes and require more sophisticated routing and scheduling.

That said, Reflame's intrinsic advantage is that individual deploys are fast and efficient enough that it's feasible to pool them onto a small handful of simple multitenant web servers sharing memory/compute without significantly impacting user experience, rather than requiring each deploy to spin up a new VM/container in a gigantic fleet using dedicated compute and over-provisioned memory. So I'm bullish on our longer term scaling prospects here.

Re: instant. I've definitely been making a conscious effort to avoid the term, but looks like I wasn't successful in that very prominent instance. That's embarrasing, appreciate you catching that. That said, I don't think my use of it is necessarily hypocritical since Reflame deploys fast enough to qualify as truly instant in a fairly rigorous definition of the word as seen in the results of the article.

We don't realize how nice we have it. Computers, furniture, food, clothing: I could not build all of these myself. Also health, fitness, half-decent appearance, family: these are things nobody and no amount of money can give back if I lose them. My job and connections: I would be poor, homeless, struggling without them, and making new connections today is harder than ever.

Does not mean that everything is perfect. And it's definitely not an excuse to criticize people which don't have all of these (e.g. shelter but not money, shelter and money but not friends or family, shelter and money and support but not health), as every single one is very important. But still, it's a lot, and many people just don't realize

While reading through the comments on that article, I was reminded of my Dad's own journey through the years as a radio engineer.

When I was growing up, he was the market engineering director for one of the two or three local FM conglomerates, and through the past 30 years or so, they kept getting gobbled up by larger corporations until probably 90% of the AM/FM radio audience was owned by either Clear Channel or CBS-then-Entercom-now-Audacy.

These groups also cut back substantially not only on local radio talent (there used to be shows through the day run by local DJs, now you're lucky to get a morning show and maybe an afternoon drive show), but also on the radio engineers deployed to the stations.

A lot is due to automation and ease of IP audio (and popularity of alternative formats like YouTube and Podcasts), but it's a bit of a sad, slow death of something I remember more fondly as a kid.

I recently had my Dad take me on a tour of a 'megawatt' (ERP) FM tower site in St. Louis (we posted a YouTube video of it) and it's incredible the engineering that goes into getting a signal (in the case of this site, 10 signals) into an FM antenna system 300m above the earth!

It started as an AI-powered MS paint for my son. But after demoing it to a few coworkers, it morphed into a bit more than that. Now it’s more of a storybook creator that young kids can use to generate their own stories.

Not looking to monetize at all. But inference is expensive. So might have something to cover costs.

Some backstory:

When I was growing up in the early 90s, my dad took me into his office over the weekends when he was doing some overtime paperwork. I would be on his IBM Windows 3.1 workstation. He didn’t have any games on his work computer, so I would spend the entire day “playing” with MS Paint. I couldn’t read yet (3-4 years old), but I was able to figure it out.

We didn’t have a computer at home. But seeing how I was so good at it, my parents bought one. I eventually got into coding etc. All of this defined who I am today.

So I wanted to recreate some of this magic, for my own son. He’s 3 months old, so not quite the right age. But I have some free time on parental leave. So why not. Might be useful for parents with 3-5 year olds.
