That depends entirely on what kind of a ton of experience you have. If you have written Java/PHP/Python/JS for 20 years, SICP might teach you lots of new tricks. If you have worked a lot with functional languages, probably fewer, but still probably some in later parts of the book.

The ever-circulating rumour is 1.7T - 1.8T for the whole thing. But it is not very substantiated, mostly started by SemiAnalysis and geohot based on rather loose speculation (such as API latency and price), and not much solid evidence to confirm it after that.

And of course, it must have changed substantially with GPT-4-Turbo and GPT-4o. It would make sense if the cost reduction was larger than the price reduction, they probably have a higher profit margin now, and the price reduction has been very significant since GPT-4 release.

Absolutely right... I used to use Pi Zero W's for IOT projects. I had several of them around my house running sensors, rgb lights and the like. Now I can do the same thing with a much smaller device like an ESP32. Setting up a device that changes light colour based on time can be done with a €3 esp8266 flashed with WLED. For other projects I will use the beefier ESP32-S2/S3 or the Pi Pico Microcontroller.

I don't think they did. If you work in the space and watched it develop over the years, you can see that there's been (and still are) plenty of jank and pain points to be found. Their spread mostly comes from their dominant market position before, afaik.

> refining the strategy at each failure

You make it sound like you are improving yet with all traders like you "chasing it anyway, refining the strategy at each failure" what exactly are you improving? When you play a game like "rock paper scissors" what refinement is possible?

Due to market feedback loops the patterns you look for profits are transient. When they do persist do you ever wonder about them being like fake "tells" in poker that lure you to bet big setting you up to be smashed later?

High frequency trading / front running information and arbitrage may be profitable but require low latency costly access.

Apart for that my impression is that technical analysis based short term trading (as opposed to long term investing) is on net a negative sum activity. Like a game of "rock paper scissors" there is nothing to improve.

Is there a benefit if you're already familiar with writing functions like that? Is it wrong for me to expect that most programmers are already familiar with functions that only use their inputs, but treat that style as significantly more optional?

I wrote pure functions for a minute there but that's not the same, a function that only uses its inputs can modify an object while a pure function would have to return a new object. But, similarly, I bet that a lot more people know about pure functions than have any working knowledge of Haskell.
I think the reason people respond to weights is simply because exercise generally confers benefit but for people who aren’t yet fit cardiovascular exercise is impossible. Weights allow you to move and be active without overstressing your heart. They are a great gateway to general health. However getting regular exercise running, swimming or rowing isn’t possible for most unfit older people.

At the extreme end, and with no claims of scalability, you have shell: everything is a string.

I'm skeptical that sophisticated type systems need to exist.

Perhaps I should dust off my copy and start reading SICP
It's not an issue in Python. You would use https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.listdir in Python which returns a proper list of strings, not a string with in-band delimiters.

> Python and shell are different; each are good at different things.

I agree there. Shell is good for interactive use and throwaway scripts that you don't dare share with anyone.

Python is good for scripts that you want to actually work without supervision. (Though Python is just an example; I would recommend Deno if you are actually scripting stuff.)

Something I notice about text written by LLMs is how painfully obvious they are to identify sometimes.

Recently I was watching a very well researched two hour video on Tetris World Records [1], but the sheer amount of text clearly "enhanced" by an LLM really made me uncomfortable.

ChatGPT speaks a very specific, novel, dialect of English, which I've come to deeply despise.

This is actually the place where HN's title redactor _should_ be used - instead of dropping "how", "on" and "why" from titles, redacting memes like "left the chat" or "lives rent-free in my head"[1] leads to a sensible title without loss of any relevant information.

This isn't dead reckoning: there have been multiple attempts to domesticate zebras and dogs, and it's worked twice with dogs and zero times with zebras, thus, yes, one can say that wolves are approximately ideal. It just turns out that what we think of as necessary qualities are potentially wrong. There have been lots of attempts to domesticate zebras because they're so similar to horses and donkeys.

Wolves are much more social than zebras, which is advantageous in domestication. Zebras live in herds but it's much more free for all than a wolf pack.
As a user, that is precisely the main drawback of the bsds (as much as I love them, especially OpenBSD). If I'm using a bsd in some third-party computer, some icky middleman may have changed stuff in the system for which I'm not allowed to see the patches. If the license was GPL, I would have the right to see these changes!

If this thing blows up, then what happens?

> fact remains that it delivers reliable, cheap, and clean electricity

That's your opinion, it's not a fact. Don't think that your opinions are facts and thus automatically what other people say is wrong. Be honest in communication with other people, so that your opinions are just opinions. You can argument in favor of your opinions, but they remain opinions and are not facts, just because YOU believe in them.

> So I suppose you have been against the closure of German reactors, right?

I'm for closing of nuclear reactors. You ignore the other things I said: nuclear power plants work only in a political environment, where they got a state-support/owned monopoly. Who do you think insures them? Who do you think sets up the regulatory environment that the get a large part of the market, who do you think is setting up the environment for waste storage. Hint: it's the government. We have extremely costly state financed clean-up operations for nuclear waste storage. These are old reactors.

To massively reduce the world co2 production, there is currently only ONE way known: massive scaling of renewable energy. The contribution of nuclear energy is neither cheap, nor clean, nor safe. It also does not scale. Nuclear energy stagnates since decades. Remember: China is bringing new coal power plants online, each week there are new ones.

Thus the industrialized countries have the responsibility (and the opportunity) to develop and share renewable energy technology, to be able be much faster in deployment, with improving technology. It's the only cost effective way known, which also can make a sizeable contribution.

> Where are the open source folks in Node.js producing equivalents of WordPress and Magento and Drupal?

I can't speak for the community at large, but I specifically switched from large opinionated frameworks to Node.js/TypeScript and a carefully selected stack and modules. Once you reach a certain level of complexity, these frameworks start to get in the way. For me, Node.js/TypeScript gives me type safety, easy refactors, an ergonomic language, and a large community.

On the other hand, if you have to churn out projects for clients, a rigid opinionated framework is probably more appropriate as it makes project handover easy and cuts down on decision fatigue.

Never seen inline assembly written quite like that, is this actually correct code? I'm concerned that normally register annotation is just a hint, and that the assembly blocks are not marked volatile - and that the compiler may therefore be free to rewrite this code in many breaking ways.

From the latest Information Technology and Innovation Foundation report (June 17, 2024)

Though China built upon a foreign base of technology, it has become the world’s leading proponent of nuclear energy. Chinese firms are well ahead of their Western peers, supported by a whole-of-government strategy that provides extensive financing and systemic coordination.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

* China intends to build 150 new nuclear reactors between 2020 and 2035, with 27 currently under construction and the average construction timeline for each reactor about seven years, far faster than for most other nations.

* China has commenced operation of the world’s first fourth-generation nuclear reactor, for which China asserts it developed some 90 percent of the technology.

* China is leading in the development and launch of cost-competitive small modular reactors (SMRs).
Overall, analysts assess that China likely stands 10 to 15 years ahead of the United States in its ability to deploy fourth-generation nuclear reactors at scale.

* China’s innovation strengths in nuclear power pertain especially to organizational, systemic, and incremental innovation. Many fourth-generation nuclear technologies have been known for years, but China’s state-backed approach excels at fielding them.

* Analysts assess that America and China are likely at par when it comes to efforts to develop nuclear fusion technologies, but warn that China’s demonstrated ability to deploy fission reactors at scale gives it an advantage for when fusion comes online.

* Looking narrowly at scientific publications on nuclear energy, China ranks first in the H-index, a commonly used metric measuring the scholarly impact of journal publications.

* From 2008 to 2023, China’s share of all nuclear patents increased from 1.3 percent to 13.4 percent, and the country leads in the number of nuclear fusion patent applications.

OCaml classes and objects are (ironically) rarely used and generally discouraged. There are some cases where they’re practically required, such as GUI and FFI (js_of_ocaml). But otherwise, most code does encapsulation and abstraction using modules and functor modules (which are more like Haskell and Rust typeclasses than traditional OOP classes).

I don’t know much about F#, but last time I used it most of its standard library was in C# and .NET, so F# code would interact with objects and classes a lot. AFAIK F# also doesn’t have functor modules, so even without the dependence on C# code, you still can’t avoid classes and objects like you can with OCaml (e.g. you can’t write a generic collection module like `List` or `Set` without functors, it would have to be a collection of a specific type or a class).
