> Humans are capable of taking nutrition from plants or animals.

Well yes but no. Large brains were largely made possible by the fact we mastered fire (mostly to cook meat). Look at gorillas, they eat plants and spend most of their waking life to forage for food. Having even larger brains means that foraging would be impossible to sustain a modern human's constitution.

> But it can show the relative speed of pure Python at purely computational tasks.

But that's irrelevant if nobody uses "pure Python" for computational tasks.

It's like asking "how well do these languages run on a Lisp machine from 1979?". It simply has no relevance to real-world considerations today.
I want to do this but I must ask the salary range.
> Generally, the point of language benchmarks is to show how the languages compare at solving the same problem, without external libraries.

If this were the only concern, it should be valid to create a blob of binary and call that function for the optimal performance. (Python's ctypes makes this very easy, for example.) So you want an idiomatic solution instead, and Numpy for matrix computation is considered idiomatic in Python, even more than the pure Python code.

After seeing a post on the HN front page, I've replaced YouTube entirely with NewPipe, and it is a huge improvement.

I still subscribe to channels that I like and respect, but not being subject to the toxic injection of YouTube shorts or recommendations drastically cuts down on my dwell time in that app.
I've been thinking one could add a water powered bit on the tip not unlike the tips they have on more traditional drill rigs. I think there is lots of room for improvement on this technique, lots of white space between this and a traditional rig.
I love a good benchmark, thanks for putting this together! However, I have a bit of feedback.

First, the graph is misleading, stacking times with languages that have half the implementation, they appear faster, until you dig in. I'd suggest producing an alternate graph that shows only the implemented puzzles in every language, or make a unique graph for every language:puzzle.

Second, the examples are taken from rosetta code and are not necessarily what would be the best implementation, or even close to the best implementation, for benchmarking purposes.

Finally, those examples should be reproduced across various hardware platforms, I'm on arm64 Darwin myself, but you might find different results on Intel platforms due to the various compiler optimizations available based on the hardware.

More benchmarks would be interesting to see, such as actual real world operations, e.g. opening a file, reading it, parsing json, opening a socket server, etc.

A lot of mortgages here in South Africa do this every three months. We have ce tral bank interest rates which are relatively stable (except recently), and mortgages are given out as a function of that rate (e.g. rate + 2.4%). After the central bank rate changes, at the next three month period they use the new rate to adjust your mortgage payments.

I see now the thirst in this community to break browser engine practical monopoly and theoretical duopoly.

Posts about new or alternative browser engines get much more attention and excitement than posts about new programming languages.

I see this in myself. I wanted to make my own programming language in the past, but for a few years I want to make my own browser.
Here’s a different way to think about it. Each level up makes 25-50% above the level below it. Maybe at director or VP the jump is a bit bigger.

If senior engineers in the valley are making $500K TC, directors might clear $1M and VP’s $2M.

Above that it goes bonkers where you’ll see an SVP make $10M and a CEO $20M+.

Why do senior engineers make $500K? Well, they may be 2-5X more efficient than a junior, or you can look at how much value they are bringing in to the company.
If this pill can stop or slow the damage from the highly toxic protein that is present in snake venoms, then I can see it being useful everywhere, including the US.

Evolution might stop humans from solving climate change, researchers say
Best example is Argentina, a good number of the “blue dollar” exchanges in the past few years have been taking crypto. According to friends, this is pretty common in some other South American countries also.

I also noticed a lot of currency exchanges in Ukraine deal in cryptocurrency since the war began (didn’t notice this before), and give preferential rates.

Some friends who have recently been travelling in SE Asia also have mentioned that conversion of crypto to whatever local currency was often available at currency exchangers.

I’m also informed that bitcoin is readily convertible in Nigeria, Botswana and Kenya by people who have recently travelled there.

I can see it as having a few advantages for the traveller tbh, easier to carry about than a big wad of fucking cash.
My absolute agreement (with Roberts) is that legal research will be forever-changed.

Most of the "innovative logical analysis over novel issues" that I have personally witnessed/directed/felt... has to do with comparing dead/living authors' POVs, between their fictional universes.

Of course, this is a reflection of humanity, having elsewhere made such comparisons... but the ability to harness the patterns/connnections of just SO MANY unique POVs — is absolutely BEYOND HUMAN.

Bottom line, one cannot build a company consisting of a monoculture, and a healthy company respects all its employees.

Monocultures, especially in leadership groups have similar life experiences, reflected in unresponsive products, and unresponsiveness to employees who don't.
Everyone uses pure python for purely computational tasks. numpy or pytorch has far too few operation to even count as all the computational task. e.g. most of the operations of pandas is written in pure python, and at times I found using specialised libraries could give 10x improvement but with blow to developer experience compared to python.
And iOS 3 introduced the App Store? And iOS 2 introduced copy paste? This doesn’t seem like much of a delay.

I'm currently looking for interesting CTO or senior engineering management opportunities. I co-founded several startups with a successful history of funding, and helped build high scalability services with up to 10 million monthly active users.
Went digging a bit. It's a "small molecule" (C21-H20-N2-O5) and commercialy available at $10/mg[1]. Presumably this would come down quite a bit if it were widely stocked.

The studies say they are looking at doses of 10mg/kg[2]. Similar dosing to a pain pill.

On a first read, looks like a partial solution as it only delays onset of venom pathology for a day, tho not sure I'm interpreting that correctly.

Otoh, it looks like the pills can continue to be taken for many days.. so perhaps there's promise for the venom to be slowly metabolized somehow that isn't inhibited. Might also bring down the cost of antivenom if it's now feasible to funnel patients into central treatment over greater distances, so stocks could be better used.

For the purposes talked about in the linked article they're not really looking for new tech that lies between a traditional mining drill and a garden hose though - they're looking beyond the capabilities of traditional mining drill:

Commercial drilling doesn’t usually go much deeper than seven kilometers (four miles)—for cost reasons, it’s often even less than that—and many places that might benefit from geothermal aren’t hot enough at that depth to reach the 150 °C needed to generate electricity economically.

Reaching sufficient temperatures may mean going deeper, which would require new techniques and technologies that can withstand high heat and pressure.

I found this part not well covered in the article too. But to your question, ray tracing starts fromt the camera. Typically you define the direction of a ray for each pixel, and that ray will bounce around to calculate a final color, and that color will be rendered as the color for that pixel.

My assumption is that the shared scene and shaders might play a role here, although the direction of the rays will still vary.

Yeah, right, and who owns these "browsers the most likely disruptor"?
Yes, and what is fascinating to me is that any company can choose to stay private or become public. Valve isn't in on any secret, it is just that most companies and founders, facing the question "do I want to follow my vision, or sell out and make a boatload of money?" pretty much always choose the latter.

I would love to know and learn more about companies that stayed private and went on to do great things.
