I'm doing Advent on Discord with a former coworker this year.

This morning we compared the performance of his solution in Rust to my solution in Go. His was running 2-4x faster than mine but we couldn't figure out why and it seemed so straight forward that we assumed Rust was just that much faster.

I had assumed strings.Split would return sub-slices of the original string until I read this post. Sure enough, I rewrite it using strings.Index and manually creating sub-slices and now it's comparable, albeit less readable.

Looking at the standard library source doesn't make it clear to me why this even works. strings.Split is appending sub-slices of the input string to the return value. I don't understand where the allocations are coming from, but I'm just not knowledgeable enough about go slices.

> Remember, it was the first language taught to older millennials for a reason.

For the reason that it was the only reasonably available language for a while, I'm afraid. I too have written enough C++ in my professional works; nowadays I work with Rust and Python though, my last professional C++ was C++14. And C++ only kinda works when someone with enough mistakes and thus enough knowledges organize the code base in the way that others won't easily make such mistakes. The language doesn't really help you---which is often a pro, but much more frequently a con. That's not a good place for beginners to start at the very least.

Hm, I disagree.

DRM is a very modern concept. We originally made electronic solutions to mechanical problems because electronics allows for much more complex and nuanced response to input conditions, as well as the physical advantages of size and complexity.

Some systems are better as simple mechanical devices, but I'd put that number at a very, very low percentage.

Take your washer, dryer, dishwasher, or oven. These things can be purely mechanical, and are generally incredibly reliable when they are mechanical. In modern times, we've computerized these things for very dubious reasons mainly down to user tracking and enforced obsolescence. But adding network connectivity can be genuinely useful. Get a notification when your laundry or dishes are done. Automatically turn off the oven if you forget to when you leave the house. Track the runtime of your dishwasher and get notified when you need to clean the filter.

People would use features like that if it were possible to do so without a proprietary app that barely works, but demands your email and phone number and access to your microphone and camera. Or mandatory firmware updates that slowly degrade performance until you buy a new one.

The number of problems that can be solved mechanically and for which electronics cannot provide any extra value for the user is almost certainly very close to zero.

This actually relieves my tinnitus for a short period of time. Humming as loud as I can with my Eustachian tubes open would cause my tinnitus to either disappear or be imperceptible for about 3-5 seconds. It's such a relief that when my tinnitus gets really bad, I'll find I need to do it several times.
That means that either the government has a browser trusted root CA (which means they could spy on anyone in the world if they can MITM them), or they somehow force everyone in the country to install their trusted CAs.

Check the y axis labels on arewefastyet. When FF is winning, it is often by a large multiple. When chrome wins it is usually by under a factor of two. It wins by a factor of three on one benchmark that I could find.

I don’t think many users will notice a factor of 2-3 in page render time, even if the benchmarks where firefox wins are all somehow not representative of real world use, but the chrome ones are.

As for pages that don’t render, I simply don’t see this problem at all. One bank I use refuses to let you log in if Linux appears in the user agent string, but that hits Chrome too. Do you have a single example?

I just recently got into Steve Howe. He's considered one of, if not the best guitarist of all time and I came across a quote he had that said something like he wished guitarists would focus on being musicians. Same thing as coders to engineers.

I've come across more technically able programmers than I am. But they aren't better engineers. And a lot of that is because I'm an entrepreneur and have a marketing secondary background as well.

So many companies discount non coding skillsets that actually make one an engineer in my opinion.

They hire the butcher instead of the chef and then wonder why it tastes like shit when it's cooked.

Of course it’s a matter of convention. But it’s a convention without which the rest of mathematics taught to school children throughout the world falls apart.

"As with most software development, modern AI work is all about knowing your tools and when it's appropriate to use them." 100% agree. Ditto with just using the easiest to access models as initial proof-of-concept/dev/etc. to get started.

(I do agree with the overall sentiment of the TC article, although as noted by others below, there's some mashing of terminology in the article. E.g., I, too, associate GOFAI with symbolic AI and planning.)

There's another dimension, too, not mentioned in the article: Even with general purpose LLMs, for production applications, it's still required to have labeled data to produce uncertainty estimates. (There's a sense in which any well-defined and tested production application is a 'single-task' setting, in it its own way.) One of the reasons on-device/edge AI has gotten so interesting, in my opinion, is that we now know how to derive reliable uncertainty estimates with the neural models (more or less independent of scale). As long as prediction uncertainty is sufficiently low, there's no particular reason to go to a larger model. That can lead to non-trivial cost/resource savings, as well as the other benefits of keeping things on-device.
Perhaps. Or perhaps the US realizes that India's goals align closely enough with our own that we do not need to court them and can use that energy to court other countries in the region in order to build up more of a power base.

Not saying that I would agree that this is a good strategy.

The thread started on countries so desperate for a scrap of recognition that a single letter is extremely important.

When you point out countries that are only officially recognized by half the countries on the planet, that's not in the same ballpark. Those countries have widespread but not universal recognition.

Is there anyone here with relevant expertise about this valuation?

I find the explanation by limits more convincing. The limit of 1/n as n approaches 0 from the positive direction is a positive infinity. The limit of 1/n as n approaches 0 from the negative direction is a negative infinity. Those are different, the overall limit diverges, so 1/0 is undefined. The same argument applies to all nonzero numbers in glace of 1. 0/n as n goes to 0 does limit to 0 but it's "cleaner" to not have the special case.

Yes. It’s so you can maintain a consistent style in your code base even if your dependencies use different styles. Nim has excellent C/C++ interop and it’s relatively common to interact with C or C++ symbols directly, and being able to do this without needing to adopt the dependency’s style or wrap everything is nice.

In python, for historical reasons the logging module uses camelCase while most other modules use snake_case, so it isn’t really possible to use the logging module and maintain a consistent style. This is a non-issue in Nim.

Just want to +1 this, and also add a twist. The Sphinx community also has a great extension called hieroglyph, which lets you use rST directives to build slide presentations which also double as single-page HTML notes documents.

https://hieroglyph.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started....

This meant I could first write a blog post on learning Clojure as a Pythonista[1]; then turn some code samples and tables and images into slides I could present at a public talk on my laptop or desktop[2]; and then finally publish a public notes document that talk attendees could use to easily study or copy-paste code examples[3]. (The notes are the exact same contents of the slides, just rendered in a simple single-page HTML format, with each slide transformed into a section heading, with permalinks/ToC auto-generated.) So, this is generated HTML from a single .rst source[4], all the way down! And, of course, I could version control and render the .rst file powering the slides / notes / etc. in GitHub.

Note: the slides in [2] do not play well on mobile. You are meant to use keyboard arrows to advance and tap “t” to switch into tiled mode (aka slide sorter) and “c” to open a presenter console. The slides are powered by a fork of html5slides, which will look familiar if you’ve seen the JS/CSS slide template that Go core developers use in https://go.dev/talks (they generate those with “go present,” a different tool, though).

More recently, I have also used a similar-in-spirit tool called marp (https://marp.app) for generating technical slides from source, but the output and functionality was never quite as good as rST + Sphinx + hieroglyph. The big advantages to marp: Markdown is used as the source, some tooling allows for VSCode preview, and PDF export is fully supported alongside HTML slides.

I have a soft spot for Sphinx, not only because it was responsible for so much great documentation of Python open source libraries (including Python’s own standard library docs at python.org), but also because the first comprehensive technical docs I ever wrote for a successful commercial product were written in Sphinx/rST. And the Sphinx-powered docs stayed that way for a ridiculously long time before being moved to a CMS.

I didn't make that connection until my late 20s and when I finally did, it radically changed how I look at and understand analog systems.

In today's world, we still build analogs, we just coerce them into strictly numerical, digital models. I don't know if you can call it better or worse, but digital is definitely less magical and wondrous than mechanical analog systems.

I thought the worst part is that in context of "normal" mathematics taught in schools one is obviously wrong, and also unable to do research and admit own mistakes, and that one is actually teaching children.

> This approach of teaching math as a bunch of universal facts that are either true or false is actively harmful

Kids are taught not philosophy or logic but certain mathematical paradigm (that you call "normal") in which division by zero is an error. If you have a formula you decompose it to smaller formulas, if in a smaller formula you have a division by zero you simplify it to zero then you screwed up the entire thing. There's no true or false value for 1/0, the right move is not to play and not solve any equation in which division by zero appears.
