I used it at my old job specifically to speed up a Django application.

After a bunch of profiling, I narrowed down a bunch of our performance problems to the ORM doing a bunch of __setattr__ (or something, it was a long time ago).

We could have started rewriting everything and using .values() (or something, basically get back tuples instead of python objects) but switching to PyPy got the performance to good enough without having to sacrifice DX.

It's been a long time, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I definitely recommend PyPy for Django unless there's some reason you can't use it.
As renewables started to increase, people were saying it wouldn't be possible to keep the grid stable once renewables reached 50%, due to the lack of spinning mass in fossil generators. That obviously has been proven wrong. If I understand correctly, they could have run without any fossil sources on a few occasions recently, but keeping some helps with grid stability. Next step is to reduce fossil fuels to zero for some short periods. But there will be some spinning mass still in nuclear and in biomass generation. Eventually the biomass needs to go too, but each step is good and not completely trivial to achieve.

This chart doesn't mean what the author suggests it means.

Why would a roughly constant ratio of the fed balance sheet to the value of publicly traded companies mean that actual economic growth had not occurred? The point of QE is to spur lending in highly imperfect markets (incomplete futures/insurance markets, highly imperfect information), and the point of spurring lending is to create growth in provision of actual goods and services. This happened to some degree, as measured by real GDP growth (which by definition account for changing purchasing power).

Focusing on publicly traded companies is also misleading; they are not representative of the value of all private firms.
Hello!

I ported Suno AI's Bark text-to-speech model in C/C++ to allow fast, realistic, multilingual audio generation on the CPU.

Generating a 5-second audio with vanilla Bark takes 1 minute on a M1 Pro CPU. Using my port in C++ with ggml, it goes down to 15 seconds.

I aim to bring it down to a second to allow on-device real-time audio generation.
Huh, that sounds like taking yet another full-time job and smearing its workload across everyone. That already happened with quite a lot of occupations - thanks to "increased productivity" brought by computers, a typical white-collar employee is now also doing the job of a secretary (calendar, mail, setting up meetings), graphics department (PowerPoint), financial department (managing and reporting travel expenses), and couple other ones as well.

And then everyone is surprised that real productivity doesn't seem to track the theoretical increase brought by technology. Well, maybe because most of that turns out to be replacing legible expense (salaries of well-defined jobs) with larger, illegible ones (everyone else doing tiny bit of extra work). Feels to me that your proposal would end up being just another case of that.

This.

And not just for personal problems. I have a rule when I start working in a new place to not offer any real criticisms or unsolicited advice for the first year. This is because it's very likely that my advice is too naive and is coming from a place of being ignorant of some aspect of the work that is the reason why people are doing something "wrong" in the first place. Being there for a year is enough to clue me in to those hidden variables so that I can make recommendations that have a chance of being useful.

Would be neat to see this on much older videos (maybe WW2 era) to see how it improves details.
There was a time when paying for US-made products was paying for better quality products (among other properties).

As offshore manufacturing got better, buying American became much higher percentage “feel good” and much lower percentage “get better product”. Right now, there are some product categories where the highest-quality product in the world is not capable of being produced in the US.
There is one big UK powerplant that does that, Drax and it's a big controversy. It's about 5% of the UK's electricty capacity.

To quote the BBC:

"In response to the latest findings by the BBC, Drax admitted it has taken wood from old-growth forests. But it told Panorama that 77% of the material for its Canadian wood pellets came from sawdust and sawmill residues, with the rest coming from forestry residues and low-grade logs."

So the UK government is, IMO, full of bullshit on this one but it shouldn't dampen our spirits - the news is very good excluding this one blemish.
> And, most of all: Holmes's formulation of twisted type theory made the proof a natural candidate for dependently-typed formal verification.

I am not so sure about this, actually. "twisted type theory" looks like type theory more in the original Bertrand Russel sense than in the modern (Martin Loef, Jean-Yves Girard, etc.) sense.
It's not quite equivalent but I believe it's the basis of the type system being developed for erlang so definitely contains a lot of the same information.
It's at least as private as third party cookies. And unlike third party cookies there is a path to improve privacy as technology improves.

> The idea that a stable API provides no value is contrary to all the evidence.

...agreed

> Look at graphics APIs like DirectX and look at what happened when jQuery was released for more evidence that having a stable API...provides vast amount of value.

I wonder if more correct to say the concept of virtual machine provides a vast amount of value - like Java saying "run everywhere."

But your examples (DirectX, jQuery) could also prove a different point: high levels of abstraction layers lead to maintenance and efficiency nightmares. For example, jQuery sits on JavaScript, sits on browser's engine, sits on OS, sits on microcode. A jQuery-focused dev would still spend a significant amount of time setting up, debugging, accommodating, and troubleshooting things on all the other layers compared to just getting things done in their (somewhat) stable jQuery ABI. The layers are helpful sometimes, and hurtful sometimes, and the net gain is not always as great as expected.

There's no semantics.

Every unicorn I know thinks leprechauns are real.

A coop protects and upholds private ownership and distribution of profits to their shareholders. That's not semantics.

Socialism does not protect private ownership. Socialism does not distribute profits to shareholders (because there are none). That's also not semantics.

If you want to have a non-semantical conversation, the onus is on you.

Much more narrowly, I wonder if it could work for certified flight instructors. Most CFIs are young, know little about business, marketing, tax compliance. And as a consequence are often exploited by employers who misclassify them as independent contractors only to pay them less, without benefits, and still direct their schedules, coerce them into noncompetes. A co-op would help protect their interests while raising standards, in a cost efficient way.
"ensure management loyalty to shareholders"

Everyone's pay is to keep them, isn't it? Nobody is loyal beyond being paid.

Do CEO's really provide so much 'extra' benefit to justify the premium? Is their loyalty in particular worth paying so much for?

I'm just not seeing how 'ransom' is needed. Isn't growing a healthy business supposed to be the goal for CEO and Board? And if employee owned, it is same.

The only reason to pay the extra 'ransom' to be loyal to shareholders, is when they want the CEO to do things that are 'not' for the benefit of the company, but only to benefit shareholders, who can sell and exit.

The problem with unsolicited advice is:

Compared to the progressive utopia that is sitting in traffic? Passenger vehicle lanes move 1500-2000 cars per hour. Even with extensive carpooling and possible future technology that allows cars to bunch more, 10-15k people per hour is likely the limit. A double tracked train line can easily push 40-50k per hour without much stress and with grade separation can be fully automated with short dwell times and huge frequency.

I'm a huge fan of ebikes and other micromobility solutions for solving the last mile problem that has always plagued rapid transit, especially in low density areas. You want to move huge amount of people any significant distance? You need a train. Pretty much every proposal I've seen to move masses of people without a train ends up being train but worse, either in OPEX or CAPX (usually both).
I'm not misunderstanding anything, I just disagree with you.

You're totally right that it's a relatively poor metric, but assuming we agree it's unlikely that the energy companies actively 'gamed' the metric (e.g. by agreeing to shut down gas and coal generation for that hour) it's still better to have that result, than to not have it.

You hit the nail on the head. Software, libraries, dev tools, profiling resources, mindshare... And for Intel, a good deal of maintained interest. For those of us who used and programmed SHAVE cores, to see everything slowly close down behind openvino, no apparent interest from Intel in years, the writing was on the wall. Repeatedly, they taught us: use nothing from Intel except main-mainline x86_64.

You misunderstand theorem provers. This isn't kid "all abstractions leak" land -- you do not need to trust the libraries, you only need to trust the kernel.

Trusting the kernel is not trivial either, but this is still a major leap over informal proofs. With informal proofs you do in fact need to trust the "libraries" (culture, the knowledge of other people), because there is no practical way to boil down to axioms.
IIRC the contract manufacturer, Steyr Magna, historically produced mainly small-run, expensive cars, trucks and military APCs (!).

I suspect that Fisker was spending a lot more per delivered vehicle than their direct competitors like Tesla, Audi, BMW, Polestar. Maybe breaking even on the car itself but having their operating costs (sales) digging a progressively bigger hole each month.

There is no one who fails to see the similarity, because they're both kinds of radix sorts. For instance, a counting sort is a degenerate form of radix sort that only does one pass.

But where the classic radix sort is bottom-up, the American flag sort is top-down. That really matters for data where the the most significant portions of the data is likely to be all you need to consider for the sorting. While a top-down sort will have similar performance to bottom-up in the worst case, in the best case it can skip a lot of passes, especially if the inputs are much longer than the longest common prefix.

If you don't mean "make more money"/"squeeze out every penny possible", I doubt the reasons are the same. These are 3 totally different classes of products, with different development/support costs, and pricing orders of magnitude apart.

- A TV is an O($100) investment.

- A monthly app subscription is typically O($1).

The way I do it to freeze apps is using focus mode. You can flag these apps as "distracting" and enter "focus mode". Their icons will turn gray, only run when explicitly opened, and auto-freeze in 5 minutes. After 4 minutes a notification appears to extend this run time. This works for me for most of the cases.
> They were fairly early with adding neural engine hardware to their chips

If that's all it takes to stay ahead of the curve, then Rockchip and Qualcomm are arguably right up there alongside them. Tons of vendors shipped their own AI silicon, and of those vendors, it seems like Nvidia is the only one that shipped anything truly usable. Medium-sized LLMs, Stable Diffusion and probably even stuff like OAI Whisper is faster run on Apple's GPUs than their AI coprocessor.
Yeah I wish we'd start to say what kind of FLOPS one's talking about. And don't start me on 'AI FLOPS' or TOPS...
"Loosening the constraints always makes a problem easier to solve."

Due to job deformation, I cannot agree. Tight constraints make for easy solving. However, loose constraints allow more change. And ultimately, change is what people are looking for.

Additionally, when looking at others we see them as their own free agent, but looking at ourselves we see us as constrained in a system.

For whom $2,300 / year is meaningful is, dare I say, hard to answer question. Most of the people for whom an additional $2,300 / year is meaningful pay little to no taxes.
