At this time, there are no backend-agnostic APIs to implement training steps/training loops, because each backend handles training very differently so no shared abstraction can exist (expecially for JAX). So when customizing fit() you have to use backend-native APIs.

If you want to make a model with a custom train_step that is cross-backend, you can do something like:

def train_step(self, *args, *kwargs):
if keras.config.backend() == "tensorflow":
return self._tf_train_step(*args, *kwargs)

Bonus: potentially lowers the barrier to entry to electronics fabrication as more engineer hours are spent getting the fabrication equipment/processes better documented/more accessible.

> Ehm, allow me to remind everyone what I heard about Twitter censorship for years.. If Sony doesn’t like it, they can make their own Call of Duty.

Maybe Microsoft should argue this point instead. But they didn't. They argued that they would allow CoD on multi-platforms so it's only reasonable to expect people to respond to that point.

It's a bit similar to how some people said that the posts deserved to be deleted while others said those people should just make their own twitter. Depending on whose talking and their argument you need to change your response. Using a response that the posts shouldn't've have been deleted to somebody who said you should make your own twitter is a non-sequitor.
All the things you wrote could be about as easily written & much more easily read without operator overloading. Operator overloading only allows programmers to feel "smart" for doing a "clever" thing, to the detriment of future readers.

string("hello ").append("world");

complexNumber2.mult(complexNumber2);

// wtf is even going on with this one in your example? have these people never heard of method chaining?
for(int i : std::views::iota(0,6).filter(even).transform(square))
(*smartPtr)->methodOnWrapperClass();

That's all about the same verbosity, it's much more clear to the reader even if they're unfamiliar with your codebase, and dropping operator overloading eliminates the "clever" option to do stupid crap like divide file path objects together.

> So, I kind of like the idea of Emacs Lisp providing a GUI toolkit, and then the Emacs interface being implemented, in Emacs Lisp, with that toolkit.

I was just thinking this myself. I was thinking about a small, limited-vocabulary (widgets) GUI toolkit (implemented without web technologies) inside of Emacs that could still be navigated with a keyboard. GUI windows would be differentiated from buffer windows, and so functions that are defined for one of them couldn't be enabled on the other. Packages could implement their functionality in either type of window, or both, depending on their purpose.

> I enjoy using a TUI for certain things, either on low-resource devices, or an actual vintage terminal, and so on. [...] That's something I'd dearly hate to lose.

In the imaginary implementation I described above those would still work, they would be buffer-interface-only packages. They wouldn't have to be re-implemented nor updated to keep working properly.

> You could sort of work around that by defining abstract widgets and providing both GUI and TUI implementations, but that constrains the GUIs a lot [...]

It doesn't have to be that way. If GUIs and buffers are defined as different types of interface paradigms that can be used and modified within Emacs, then GUIs could be completely different from their buffer counterparts and vice versa. Packages that wouldn't make sense having on a terminal wouldn't have to implement a buffer interface for it. And not every package would have to implement its own GUI interface either if there's no need for it; buffers are a very simple data model with a vast amount of tooling for them that can all (in theory) work in tandem, so they would still be an attractive baseline for any developer looking to extend the functionality of their editor.

There have been tiling window managers based around Emacs before. I think the most recent I tried was https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm -- in this case the window manager is itself emacs, and your windows are buffers in emacs etc.

It makes a lot of sense, since Emacs does its own tiling, and one is usually familiar with the keystrokes already, and then you don't have tiling in tiling.

So I keep meaning to go back and try this again, or something similar, but I recall it having issues with a lot of my commonly used applications back when I tried it.

When I get in the tiling mood, I use regolith, which is a nice packaging up of i3 in with the gnome environment. I'd love to have something like that, but built around emacs.

(The crazy thing is I'd probably end up editing source code in CLion inside that... since the CLion Rust plugin is superior to anything I can get in emacs)
> Once you learn that cmd-` also exists for switching between windows inside an app, I find it's a matter of personal preference and you can make arguments either way about which one is "better"...

Here is an example of how the app-centric model of task switching is problematic beyond personal preference: it causes focus stealing when opening GUI windows from the CLI. The apps themselves have to (partially, because that's the best they can do) work around the window manager's broken behavior.

The final answer from the initiated seems to be 'you're holding it wrong'. So here we have a Certified Unix™ where something as banal as setting your $EDITOR to a GUI program is broken by default and even when 'fixed' causes your window order to be shuffled around.

Examples:

Using macOS is a barrage of papercuts like this for me, and the window manager is at the heart of many of them.

YMMV but I've found my watching:fiddling-with-the-system ratio to be way higher with Jellyfin than it ever was in my years and years of trying and failing to enjoy Kodi/XBMC. And it's way more usable for other members of my family, who tended to look at Kodi and (understandably) just go "nope, not touching that". If they actually tried they'd usually need me to rescue them from some weird, useless mode they'd gotten stuck in, before they managed to watch anything. Zero such trouble with Jellyfin. And the (web) admin interface is so much nicer & faster to use, on the rare occasions that I do need to go change something. Again, I get that some people find Kodi OK, but it might be worth taking a look if you're not totally, entirely happy with it.

Similar issue with x265 content though. I've solved that by just using Apple TVs for our two TVs—also fixes any worries about surround not outputting correctly or whatever, that you can run into with hacked-together solutions. Spendy, but they've wasted none of my time and have never not-worked. Any other devices we connect to it with (laptops, desktops, tablets, phones) all support x265, so that's a non-issue. Maybe newer Rokus support x265, IDK, but none of mine do, which is the only reason I'm not still using those as my set-top client devices.

(if you stick with Kodi, though: RPi4 supports hardware x265, I think)

Reminds me when i was a kid back in the DOS days and made my own GUI system in Turbo Pascal on a 386DX machine i had. It had its own GUI library and simple applications and i had made it look kinda like Windows 95 (because i only had Win3.1 and i wanted 95 - though my take was based on screenshots i saw in magazines so it wasn't very faithful, just what i imagined to be).

The problem was, it was too fast. The shell was up and running pretty much once i pressed the enter key after typing the command in DOS. Real Windows didn't do that, so mine felt bad and fake (to me).

So i added some code in initialization to create and delete 1000 random files with some random delays between them (to cause the HDD to make "doing stuff" noises and its LED light to blink) and show a progress bar for it. After that it felt properly professional :-D.
Funny example! I used to work in a place like that, and we could make many plates extremely fast, and sometimes getting a head start from overhearing the clients order while they were still talking to the waiter. And yes, sometimes we would wait a little bit to get the food out, just because it would be weird for the client to get his food instantly.

But apart from that, clients usually appreciated getting their food about twice as fast as they would normally expect. As long as the quality is there, nothing is wrong with speed. And a restaurant is kind of a poor comparison, since cooking is always time dependent, while other goods can be ready for purchase at once.

The idea that Russia can just march its soldiers into Georgia, Ukraine, or Moldova is bad for European security.

It just is. All you need for proof of that is Finland and Sweden, who reacted very strongly to the invasion of Ukraine to join NATO.

Russia will do what Russia does. And we need to come up with plans to protect our allies. Ideally, Europe would be strong enough to defend themselves but USA's overwhelming military could use less than those 5% or 3% numbers you were talking about there to help our our European friends.

Its very cheap from the USA perspective, and provides plenty of assurances of raw, brutal defense. The kind of which Russia (and China) cannot ignore.

And ignore they will. No amount of signatures on the Budapest Memorandum prevented Putin from invading Ukraine.

---------------

There's nothing "unstable" about Ukraine fighting for its survival. The unstable part is Russia invading Ukraine. The question is how to stop Russia from invading other countries.

The answer is to stop Russia in Ukraine. If Russia is stopped here, they won't attack other countries. Its really that simple.

How much worse depends on what we do today.

“… taken to a security room by American Airlines. There he was interrogated – and forced to buy a new ticket – according to the boy’s father.

That’s all because when he checked in at the ticket counter, the agent saw his North Carolina drivers license, and suspect that the reservation which included a flight from Charlotte to New York was really a throwaway or ‘hidden city’ ticket. In other words, the boy was traveling to Charlotte but had booked a point beyond – in this case, New York, because it was cheaper. And they had no intention of flying all of the segments they’d booked.”
