My complaint with Copilot in Windows is MS's intent that CP eventually be ingratiated into every task, ostensibly to always be ready to jump in and help.

This will just coincidentally enable collection of massive amounts of new telemetery, as CP extends it's vigilance into absolutely everything users do.

I can't imagine MS won't do all it can to achieve this same level of invasiveness in Apple ecosystems, if it possibly can.

> It demonstrates that Python needs libraries like NumPy.

You need libraries to do _anything_ in Python. It's interpreted, so literally any call you make in Python will eventually make it back to something written in a compiled language (like a call to NumPy commands).
Do people usually run C# code AOT compiled?
You're missing the point. The point is that, for any application, Python needs an underlying C library to be fast. So if you need to solve problems where no such library exists, Python is slow.

In other words, Python IS slow, but it can call fast code written in other languages.
There are fluids other than water that have usefully different boiling points.

If you fight vaccines and masks you are anti-vax and anti mask that's not a stereotype but just a description of their behavior.

An despite claiming otherwise, masks work as long as you and the people around wear them. The Cochrane study only showed that you can't escape the virus if it's everywhere because as soon you ket your guards down you get infected

And guess what helped to spread it everywhere.

Masks aren't dangerous and the benefit of the vaccines outweighs the risks compared to a corona infection.
Heavily used authentication systems can be near that, as can things like a PG backend to Radius:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS

I was working with a proprietary Radius system a while ago that used PG for it's database backend. That system had been around for many years and had (smaller) national telcos/ISPs as customers.

When people's internet routers turn on and authenticate to their ISP, this is the kind of system it talks too.

The steady state load for this system just over 300k transactions per second (24/7), sometimes peaking to over double that during busy times.

The most memorable problem was pgBadger (reporting tool) often running out of memory on 256GB (ram) nodes because perl seems to have extremely poor (non-existent?) garbage collection. :(

Thank you for replying. I was confused about the URL as it said it made the additional info optional. I now understand. I am not able to edit the post now though.

Thanks for the feedback about the tool. Yes, for the layout(if you mean the distribution), I've written a module to write or supply any distribution/layout to the Graph. I've implemented some already: gaussian, uniform, and exponential distributions for the node-locations. There is also a module for the edge-connections models.

Oh, yes, path-length, degree-ness and network centrality have not been implemented but are controlled indirectly by the edge connections model.

I was unaware of Gephi, seems a full-fledged application. Thanks for sharing!

To be fair, that was also a much lighter web. Even if you remove all the heavy javascript overload modern webpages will be heavier simply due to higher resolution images and other media.

It also highly depends on what you want to browse. HN for example will work just fine without much memory. Expecting YouTube to be as light as 90s websites is asking a bit much.

Having said that, I do agree that we have overshot, and many websites are way too heavy for their use case.

Sticking with YouTube as an example, assuming for a moment that whatever device you are using does have hardware decoding, so video playback isn't dragging down performance. It still is an extremely heavy website due to all the tracking shenanigans, interactive elements and the fact that it is an SPA based design.
Alternative front-ends like invidious show it is possible and in the past Google did actually provide light versions of many of their web apps specifically for this sort of use case. Sadly that is no longer the case.

That's true but irrelevant here, especially given the original claim:

> adding performance to an existing Python program requires dropping into a different language

...is demonstrably false for a significant class of programs that can be rewritten into the array paradigm. The benchmark should have picked other numerical problem to avoid this issue. The Computer Language Benchmarks Game, for example, uses the `n-body` problem for this purpose.
This was a super annoying aspect of this project actually, since you basically have to write an additional parser in whatever syntax highlighting format your editor uses (sublime text in my case). The only thing I really learned is the easier the syntax is to parse, the better.

Wow. Have you got a source for that? Waste heat from human power generation and use, not from the Earth cooling? Boil as in bubbles of steam or just slightly evaporate a little? A few hundred as in < 1000 years? And current trajectory as in something like exponential growth which obviously won't happen? I'm sure some part of that makes the idea far less serious than it sounds.
This is really overstating how hard it is to compete with matrix multiply libraries. The main reason those libraries are so big and have had so much work invested in them is their generality: they're reasonably fast for almost any kind of inputs.

If you have a specific problem with constraints you can exploit (e.g. known fixed dimensions, sparsity patterns, data layouts, type conversions, etc.), it's not hard at all to beat MKL, etc... if you are using a language like C++. If you are using python, you have no chance.

It isn't even necessarily that different from a few nested loops. Clang is pretty damn good at autovectorizing, you just have to be a little careful about how you write the code.

You are right in that it was way ahead of its competitors (mainly Netscape) when it launched. It had more features, much better performance, and it looked great in comparison.

But it also had an insanely huge amount of bugs, half-broken features and “I’ll just do it my way” stuff. This was also true already at launch.

Sure, if Microsoft had replaced it in 2003 or 2004, nobody would have such “fond” memories of it even today. But the bad reputation does not come only from the fact that it was not updated for a long time; it also comes from its many problems and issues.

Yes, but the author claims the longest JIT warmup is 0.3 seconds, so it's not an important issue in these benchmarks that take several seconds.
I was hopeful that all of the unused drilling capacity after the shale boom/bust would allow some of the know how and equipment to be reallocated to geothermal but the grid operators and markets are not offering the premium to firm capacity that is required for the longer lead time and increased capital requirements and increased risk in geothermal projects vs wind and solar which can be augmented with battery storage.

It’s going to suck though when we hit a weeklong stretch of cloudy still weather if there isn’t enough spare capacity from other sources to compensate for the missing wind and solar.

Why is the cost of drilling so high?

I'm sure the rigs are an expensive capital outlay, but do the operators require advanced skills?

Once a hole is drilled, does it have a limited lifespan, or is that investment something that can be hypothetically used for eternity?

There can be multiple aircraft on the runway at multiple times, so long as there's no conflicting operations.

It's used quite regularly at any moderately busy airport to reduce delays.

Examples where I've seen/heard it used in ATC comms:

Aircraft departing in sequence. eg A, then B. So: "Flight A (already lined up on runway 35L), cleared for takeoff runway 35L." (some short time later while Flight A is still in the process of taking off) "Flight B, runway 35L line up and wait"

Aircraft departing after an arrival. eg "Flight A cleared to land, 35L", and right as flight A has crossed the threshold: "Flight B, runway 35L line up and wait"

Also, as mentioned by others, when there are other movements to cross a runway between departures. eg "Flight A, at Foxtrot 5, cross Runway 35L. Flight B, runway 35L line up and wait"

Ideal thermodynamic efficiency is 1-Tcold/Thot in an absolute temperature scale. This means given a perfect mechanism to turn heat into work this is the upper bound of how much of the heat can be turned into useful work.

Say ambient air is 20 deg C, with your 90 deg C heat source then you get 1-293/363 which is about 20%. So it's not to say you can't get work out of this system, but it's not great compared to having something nice and not.

And even then, you can't push a turbine with a hot liquid so your energy extraction technique now gets complicated.
I wonder about this, versus culturally giving users permission to send nudes, even though they know there's always the possibility they'll be saved.
Generally, the point of language benchmarks is to show how the languages compare at solving the same problem, without external libraries. Including external libraries is pointless since any language can call any library, ultimately, so at best you'd be comparing the FFI overhead.

So this shouldn't be taken as "how fast does a real-world Python program do at matrix multiplication", since of course no one writes real-world programs doing matrix multiplication in pure Python. But it can show the relative speed of pure Python at purely computational tasks.

> If you are using python, you have no chance.

Of course you do. Every special-case multiplication algorithm you might need already has an optimized implementation that you can just `pip install`, and move on with what you're actually working on.

The whole scientific computing world runs on Python. Straightforward numerics code using NumPy tends to murder C/C++ code in regard to performance, unless that code is written by people who make a living hand-optimizing computational routines.
