Okay, I see what you mean.

> Maybe you and the other poster have in mind specific fields of math,

Yes, because this is about Julia, I assumed we are talking about the specific fields of math that happen to be commonly used in mathematical and scientific computing, such as the ones learned in university math and science courses.

> Your implicit assumption that you can divide computer science into a different bucket from “real math” is incorrect, and gatekeeping.

It is regretful that we had a miscommunication. I agree with you that computer science belongs into the same bucket as "real math". The thing is, in the context of Julia it is not easy to read "math" as "math, but not only the domains that Julia is concerned in, but really all fields of math, including theoretical computer science". At least thanks to your comment, I see what you mean more clearly, and I think it'll help some other potential readers as well.

> but then you need to make claims for why those fields are sufficiently different as to be exempt from applicability of any of the advances in notation observed in other fields.

I'm curious to know specifically about the specific advances of notation observed in other fields. By this you mean dot notation for method application? I'm unsure if `a.method(b).anotherMethod(c)` is more advanced than `a |> method(b) |> anotherMethod(c)` (Edit: or `(anotherMethod(c) . method(b))(a)`) notation-wise.
>Numpy's syntax is the same as MATLAB's.

That is just plain false. Can you try reading the numpy documentation? They have an article about exactly that topic and even say that numpys Syntax is more verbose.

If you read that documentation you would also realize that numpy has a different approach to Arrays than both MATLAB and Julia.

Here: https://numpy.org/doc/stable/user/numpy-for-matlab-users.htm...

"MATLAB’s scripting language was created for linear algebra so the syntax for some array manipulations is more compact than NumPy’s."

The older I get the more I feel like Usenet was/is a lost opportunity. With a few improvements it could have taken the place of Facebook (not the original connecting with friends version Facebook) and Reddit. It could have been a great option for local business promotion and news distribution, and the same segmentation into groups would map almost perfectly into subreddits.

It is decentralized, multiple clients where available and you could segment into as narrow topics as you'd like.

I don't think we could do this at all, even theoretically.

If we took all the proven petroleum reserves in the world, and magically converted them into kinetic energy with 100% efficiency— With zero overhead for transportation, launch, agriculture, or obeying conservation of momentum­— That still wouldn't be enough to launch even a single planet killer. At most you could crater a small country, but not kill a civilization:

So let's say you do nuclear pulse propulsion like Project Orion. You've still got Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation to deal with. Assuming a speculative fusion bomb ISP of 75,000s, you would need a rocket with… over 50 orders of magnitude more mass than the entire observable universe, in order to accelerate a single proton to 0.9c:

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=e%5E%280.9c%2F%2875000s...

Light sails will be huge, obvious/visible, and slow. Beamed power will run into issues with diffraction.

In fact, reaching 0.9c while you're still in the solar system plainly implies maintaining multiple hundreds of g's of acceleration over many dozen astronomical units of distance. That doesn't seem feasible at all. It's wildly beyond not only our best existing ion drives, but probably also any remotely feasible existing concept for space propulsion.

Julia has Flux, which is great. To create a neural network with Flux, you write the forward operation however you want and just auto differentiate the whole thing automatically and get a trainable net.

It is extremely flexible and intuitive.

What Julia lacks is everything which isn't numerical analysis though.

Vinfast has a kind of bleh reputation in VN as well (most Vinfast EVs I'd see in VN are bought by a taxi company that I think might be owned by VinGroup as well), and most US interests in VN use a Korean or Japanese proxy (like how they used to do it in China 20-30 years ago)

> Perhaps the tariff is to protect VinFast also and therefore US interests in Vietnam

With To Lam as President now, I wouldn't be too hopeful. His rise right now is very similar to Xi's a decade ago.

He'll most likely leverage China to consolidate power, especially because a lot of the US detente was done by his rival's faction a decade ago.

Depends on how important the SCS issue is (US and Vietnam's Armed Forces have been very aligned on against China) versus authoritarian consolidation of power (China and factions of the VCP and MPS are aligned as they don't want a "Color Revolution"-lite like in Korea in the 1980s, Thailand in the 1990s, and CEE in the 90s-2000s. Also much of VN's leadership studied in Czecholovakia during the collapse of the Eastern Bloc).

Unlike Xi who started his career in the PLA under Geng Biao and had a shot at leadership track within it in the 1980s, the VN Military doesn't really like To Lam and the MPS in general.

Seriously hope I am wrong and overreading.

For the record I live in Taiwan and apparently we have some of the best internet access in the world. And, I get 5g basically everywhere in the country, even when I'm deep in the mountains.

But subjectively I can say the latency is usually unnoticeable at like 30mpbs, though I'm sure a pro fps gamer would notice. The latency from the Bluetooth controller is far worse.

The EU Parliament can’t make decisions, it can only veto the commission which acts as an unelected government (nominated by elected representatives of each country).

But I agree with you that this idea of an undemocratic EU is rather false and really dangerous.

If you look at a textbook for numerical analysis likely the algorithms will be 1-indexed. Julia is a language primarily for writing down mathematics, it would be quite silly not to use mathematical conventions.

I had to decide between a minimalist, simple UI, which I ultimately chose, or providing more detailed explanations. Although the guide briefly describes how Pazoo works, I don’t mind outlining it again here for clarity.

The process of using Pazoo is quite straightforward:

1. Start by navigating to www.pazoo.co before logging in or registering on any website.

2. Type in a password that's easy for you to remember.

3. Choose a sequence of animal icons—this sequence will be your key for strengthening all your passwords, so consistency is crucial.

4. Pazoo automatically enhances your password. Use this stronger password for your login.
Thing is: derivatives are verboten, sometimes. Otherwise we could all just steel and rename all the things.
It's not a universal rule that you have to delete personal data on request. If there's a "legitimate interest", you don't need to delete it even if asked to. But you will need to have that legitimate interest documented.

Also the statistics between human and AI were different in some regard (like 48% vs 56% for some quantity), I dont recall details.

They did make new games tho, most recently Obduction and Firmament (the latter released in 2023). I think their style of games just fell off the zeitgeist.

Anyway I do empathise - my favorite games are fallout and fallout 2 and I was looking forward to Bethesda’s sequels but I never manage to stick to any of them for more than a couple hours, it just doesn’t feel like fallout to me - and I think a big part of it is because I’m not longer 14 years old playing a new game (with very little other commitments on my time and attention).

Let's imagine we want to program some kind of state machine machinery.

We can ask ourselves questions: what should it do? how should it work? what kind of features would it need to provide? From what parts would we like to build it? How can we integrate it into the programming language we use? How can we make it fast? How can we deal with errors?

There is a question we haven't been asking yet: how do we want to write them down? What would be a compact notation, verifiable for a state machine?

That's something which one can ask very early in Lisp: How should my code look like? How can I make sure I understand the state machine itself (not the low-level programming) months, years later and make changes to it?

One way to answer that would be to add a syntax extension for state machines to Lisp. That would be embedded into the language. One can experiment with that, without the need to write too complex scanner&parser combinations. Just write the state machine as a list of state descriptions. A macro could transform it at compile-time into (efficient) low-level operations.
Yes, but more and more I'm finding Google useless and just using ChatGPT for questions where appropriate (as opposed to links). They seem to be broadening the interpretation of the words I type so much it's useless. Using double quote operators (" ") only helps sometimes.

> GCC refused to upstream support for RVV 0.7 until now

IMHO the GCC people were being dumb. They don't want to upstream support for "draft" specs. That's fundamentally because it will be obsolete as soon as there's a new draft. But that should go out the window as soon as someone makes commercial hardware using that spec -- at that point it's frozen and those real-world users have a right to expect hardware they paid for to be supported.

There was also the qustion of who will do the work, and THead and Allwinner and other interested parties in China were not quick to step up to do it.

> I didn't realize common libc functions could be made binary compatible between RVV 0.7 and 1.0

Sure. For example here is something I posted in April 2021, tested on a prototype AWOL Nezha D1 board I got ssh access to in China a few months before customers started to receive them in late June / early July.

https://hoult.org/d1_memcpy.txt

Of course RVV 1.0 was not final then. But it turns out that if you change the `vlb.v` instruction to `vlbu.v` (which doesn't change the functionality as it's loading bytes in RAM to bytes in a vector register) then that maps to `vle8.v` in RVV 1.0. All the other instructions used are binary compatible with the equivalent RVV 1.0 instruction.
The main thing that's isolating MEPs from backlash in this case is that "The Digital Services Act was adopted with 539 votes in favour, 54 votes against and 30 abstentions.

This was not a vote along party lines, all big European parties voted in favor, so nobody who matters can credibly campaign on an anti-DSA/DMA platform, so the issue is unlikely to become politicized to the point where it might influence careers.

It applies to all data. So it amounts to building a force delete and export feature to any platform you build. I've worked on a few data platforms where the product is literally.. customers give you data, you store it and process it for then.

So was distributing commercial software over the Internet, which was my point. And I got flamed for that, too. ;)

I at least tried to find original sources first, included the ones I did find, fact checked and edited ChatGPT's output, and disclosed its use. What more do you want, that information to be lost, or people not to disclose ChatGPT's use to avoid being flamed for violating netiquette? Is it prohibited by HN guidelines? Should it be?

Is posting working code partially written by ChatGPT that solves a problem and has been checked and tested also a violation of netiquette? Where is the line? Or does it move over time?

Sounds like an interesting topic for an HN discussion to me...
You actually can pay Meta €9.99/month for ad-free Facebook+Instagram in the EU. I would hope this also causes them to track and use much less PII, but I couldn't find anything substantiating that.
San Francisco is an instructive example. Prior to Uber, calling a taxi in SF gave you a 50% chance of one showing up in some functionally unknowable amount of time. 50% is not an exaggeration, it was sometimes below that, and you would have no idea if you should expect your cab in five minutes or fifty. Then you would be charged some amount of money you could in theory anticipate but in practice could not. Should the driver misbehave in some manner, there was theoretical but in practice missing accountability.

The drivers were then exploited ruthlessly by medallion-owners.

Uber became very popular very quickly because it addressed a number of those consumer pain points up front. You could know for sure if a car was going to come, have a quite good idea of how long it would be, and get a price in advance. Sure, your complaints would likely be ignored, but nothing new there.

I understand you are an expert on the field, and I am sure it's trivial for you. IMO the complexity arises from the many small things, imagine a smallish startup without having someone hired full time to deal with it.

I am not an expert on the field, I tried a couple of times to get into the topic but found it difficult to navigate and left me with more questions than answers personally. What exactly does deleting user data mean? Do I have to search the weblogs for the users IP? Do I have to search the mail servers for his emails - of all employees? What if he used multiple emails to communicate? Am I in breach if an ISP decides to route internet packets through the US? If I put people on CC in a mail, I am leaking everyone's email, probably without their consent - is that a breach? What if my mail provider decides to replicate their servers to another country?

If you have resources to read up on this and how to handle all of it, I would really appreciate it! Happy to be convinced that it actually is trivial
> The purpose of is the EU single market

That's also a misconception. The EU single market is an important project, but there is a constant failure to understand the actual reason why the EU exists or also a purposeful misinterpretation. Countries joining the EU are requested not to join because of the single market, but because they want to join the political project of a more peaceful and an improving Europe.

At its core the EU is a project to bring Europe together, to cooperate instead of being in wars (... WW1, WW2, Cold War, ...).

The EU is even more a political project as it is an economic project. But there are many other projects. The market is not the EU, it's a large and important project, the EU can't be thought without it. But there is more. The main motive behind all that is the will to work together. Even the "single market" is at its core a political project.

We have seen it with Brexit. The UK never bought into the "political project". UK politicians also mislead the public about that. The EU is as much about social standards, political standards, environment, competition, building up the countries, joint research, joint infrastructure, a common law, common currency, being competitive in a larger world, ... and so on. During Brexit it was promised by some UK politicians for a short time that the UK would leave the EU, but not the single market. Misleading the public that this was a topic of economics, while the EU really is a political integration project, not just a project to build a single market.

France and Germany at war for many centuries, now have a common integration project (in a larger EU), free movement, no physical border, an EU passport, a single currency, joint projects, ... these are the things which moved us forward.
