Why are you so eager to fantasize about some "other benefit" with no evidence whatsoever of it, while evidence is presented on the harmful effects in many studies at this point. Would you think the same way about "poisons" or plastic contamination? Pollution?

Correlation != causation and all of that, but as the US has increased meat consumption and processed foods colon cancer has been on the rise, including younger and younger adults.

Thank you for the reply. I do know about these wrappers, but the documentation is lacking, and there are a few things that I want to implement that are not possible in PETSc. I'm not sure I want to fork the repo and add the things that I need.
Congrats on finding one without cellulose. That is also possible in the US.

Powdered cellulose is an Annex II food additive in the EU - E 460(ii) - and is an allowed food additive to any grated or sliced whey cheese, quantum satis (the manufacturer can use as much of it as they need to use, because it is considered harmless) [1]

This is EXACTLY the same situation as the US.

My statement a few comments above was a brain fart :) The larger the grated pieces, the less anti-caking agents you would need. It completely slipped my mind and I suspect that the cheese linked above would be larger pieces of parmesan. Still, if exposed to the high humidity present in some parts of the US (less common in Italy), the cheese in that package would eventually become a clumpy mess if not fully consumed quickly :)

You have to understand that lots of people seem to enjoy parmesan as essentially a powder. I have no idea why, that is certainly not my preference. However, there is demand for parmesan "powder" and the market therefore supplies it. Powdered cellulose is the only way to make that happen.

For all their faults, one thing you can't say about Google is they don't know how to scale. Prior to Google Maps, Street View would have seemed impossibly expensive, but now we take it for granted. If they need to do a LIDAR run with a car over every public road in the US for them to deploy it, it seems like they could just do that. All they'd have to do is add LIDAR sensors to the existing Street View imaging fleet and continue running them.
This is a very impressive technical achievement, and it's clear that a lot of work went into it.

Unfortunately, the entrepreneur in me continues that thought with "work that could have gone into finding customers instead". Now you have a system that could store "infinite" git repos, but how many customers?
You are right that uncertainty is a kinda loosely defined term. Usually people mean that it's a kind of proxy to the probability that the output of the model is correct in some sense.

It's also true that uncertainty can be decomposed into "flavours". The simplest and most discussed decomposition is into aleatoric and epistemic kinds of uncertainty. Epistemic uncertainty (or model-based uncertainty) usually refers to the case, when poor output is a result of the model being presented with the kind of input which it never saw before, and should not be expected to handle correctly. Aleatoric uncertainty on the other hand is thought to be intrinsic to the data itself, think of the natural ambiguity of the task, or noisy labelling.

People in the field of uncertainty estimation are very much concerned with developing methods of quantifying these different types of uncertainty, and different methods can be more sensitive to one or the other.

You used to be able to do it quite easily, but it meant people could essentially impersonate the user if you got them to execute some javascript. So having a code editor would be a recipe for account hijacking.

If you watch a lot of CSB videos you can do CBS bingo on any of them:

- people were not trained
- no written procedures
- no formal risk assessment
- lack of regular maintenance
- no safety assessment of particular products used in process
- no adequate monitoring system for fluid levels / clear interface
- no clear labeling of chemical intake ports
- and so on

The bhopal incident was the reason why the CBS was formed, and although it never got that bad, these CBS videos show how a lack of regulations in America has caused so many preventable incidents, it’s sad.

It all depends on what kind of project you work on.

I work high performance libraries, when I compare the code C and Rust, the void is used alot of blas libraries, to dispatch different function with different type information. They also include reimplementation of threading libraries that you find as a function from a crate. This coupled with lack of doc.rs, header files, (C not having namespaces/modules (especially for complex projects)) my needed cognitive load is higher for C than for Rust.

Non-negligible amount of these libraries are also hard to setup on non-unix environment (mainly due to not having OS-independent build system). One of my favorite things is looking at rust cli projects, checking them and install them with cargo install $(name_of_project) and have it working.

Also, alot of other stuff is not default (e.g. for testing, you just #[test] in rust, for C you need 3 party tooling).

The more complex project becomes, the more of these needs you realize.

Some of these you might need or not, it all depends on your case. But, for myself (someone also used to other more modern tooling system), these do matter to a non-negligible extent.

Germany doesn't have negative ads criticizing opponents (at least it didn't have them when I lived there). This makes them refreshingly boring.

Not just logic errors but their problems in life, or something.
The short version is that the machines' sensors are extremely picky (because the stuff that goes into soft serve is just begging for massive bacterial growth if not handled correctly), and McDonald's corporate requires (I'm pretty sure by franchisee contract, not just by the copyright restrictions the article is about) that their specific chosen vendor handles it, even for minor issues.

A lot of people like to treat this as a conspiracy, but I think it's much more likely it's the corporate people being paranoid about local franchisees overriding the machines, and that leading to listeria outbreaks happening in the only non-sealed food item that isn't heated to safe temperatures shortly before it's handed off to customers.

I don't know about the contrast with Europe, but it might just be geographical size causing time delays for individual techs showing up. McDonald's franchisees are everywhere, and the U.S. is gigantic.

I think we just probably have less time to play. In college I could blow an entire weekend on a subpar game and be fine with it, because I didn't really have competing priorities.

Now, if I waste $60 and four hours on an abysmal game, it's $60 that I could have used to take my kids to the movies, get takeout for my wife and I, or any number of other things. Same with the time. Five hours is time I could have spent cleaning the house, working on my side projects, etc.

I love gaming, and I destress by playing games, but it's not worth the now much higher opportunity cost to play the newer (usually worse) stuff.

That said, not all new games are terrible. Dredge is a game made last year that was absolutely phenomenal in my mind, and well worth the cost and time. Spent way too many late nights fishing in that game.

Hm, interesting idea to consider. I definitely don't want to come off as litigious. I have no interest in threatening anyone, I just want this all to be resolved and to get my domain name.
It really rubs me the wrong way when the cops prioritize this sort of enforcement because it really lays bare that they don't care about harm reduction or protecting good people, they care about using their jackboot to stomp anyone who gives the bird to their authority. The fact that they're using the surveillance state to do it is just the cherry on top.

I get that side shows are inconvenient an dangerous but the acute danger is mostly limited to people who consent to their exposure and it's not like there isn't a huge backlog of criminals who's crimes necessarily create victims in the bay area to be going after.

Edit: While I agree on paper it should be a serious crime to DOS infrastructure I have a hard time taking it seriously when the same government agencies have no problem doing partial or full closures when it suits them.

Additionally many people would happily condone the blocking of similar infrastructure by a few hundred person protest but a few hundred people watching a dozen cars do dumb things for entertainment is not treated the same even if the result is the same.

Python will be much slower than C, but if you follow the path that you suggest and use Python mainly as glue to stick C-based performance critical parts together you could be fine.

I used to edit an HPC trade rag, and I've written a lot of performance-critical code in C and C++, and even in Java eg for high-speed trading.

As a now-old fresh PhD student I think that your profs are probably wrong!
It is certainly written to be understood by humans, albeit a subset of humans. Just like your computer is going to need to have special software to "understand" your Python code.

LLMs simply answer the question: given this corpus of text you've read so far, what's the most probable next word? If half of the training dataset says the next word in similar conditions is A, and the other half says it's B, then LLMs will be "uncertain" whether it's A or B, but LLMs will be oblivious to the fact that both A and B are wrong, because most of the training dataset was LLM-generated slop.

The current stage of extracting the essense of reason from LLMs feels a lot like attempts to extract gold from iron in the medieval ages.

> Our universal optimality result reveals a surprisingly clean interplay between this property and Dijkstra’s algorithm: Any heap with the working set property enables the algorithm to efficiently leverage every structural attribute of the graph it operates on, to the fullest extent that any comparison-based algorithm possibly can.

That last bit makes me wonder: what would a shortest path algorithm without comparisons look like? Are there also "radix sort" like approaches to shortest-path algorithms that surpass comparison-based algorithms or something?
I don't see how taking it file by file lowers the complexity. If a file introduces a new method and that method it used 10 times in different files throughout the PR, looking at the 1 file doesn't really tell me much. This is compounded when those other 10 files have other changes unrelated to whatever new function I'm trying to review.

We have good unit test coverage and a decent deployment process so I'm rarely concerned about something seriously breaking, its more trying to answer the question "is this approach reasonable" or "could this be done more simply" that I find really hard to answer when there are so many changes bundled together.
You should bring this up during your retrospectives, or at least to the dev whose code you're reviewing, your team lead, and your manager if you don't do retros

If the PR is too large, chances are that the task was too big and should have been broken down further. If this happens regularly, your team needs to reevaluate your approach to working on tasks and see how you can organize and ship smaller chunks of code

> it really lays bare that they don't care about harm reduction or protecting good people

Sorry, how is keeping critical infrastructure open from people doing vehicular stunts in close quarters not protecting people?

> side shows are inconvenient an dangerous but the danger is mostly limited to people who consent to their exposure

No? You're blocking traffic. You're blocking emergency vehicles. If an accident happens it could damage critical infrastucture.

> I have a hard time taking it seriously when the same government agencies have no problem doing partial or full closures when it suits them

They're not drag racing on the infrastructure! (Also, it's announced.)

> many people would happily condone the blocking of similar infrastructure by a few hundred person protest

These are immensely unpopular, in my experience tend to backfire and also result in arrests.

> This code has to run in parallel, and run fast

Then you're certainly not going to get away with writing it all in Python, but it's a very common paradigm to write hotter parts of the code in faster languages and then glue everything together in Python. I don't see why that wouldn't work here.

> My thought is to write it in Python, profile it, and if needed, rewrite the slow parts in C

That's a very reasonable and common approach if you aren't already confident in which parts will need the extra performance ahead of time.

> Should a young PhD student in HPC really be investing all their time in C and not consider Python as a reasonable solution?

You should absolutely be using both together, each to their respective strengths. The only thing unreasonable about any of this is the idea of pitting the languages against each other and acting like one needs to win.

Why would I accumulate something which has so much risk and so much downside when I can just buy tech stocks like TSLA or NVDA which actually go up, with less risk and less volatility? Meta, Nvidia, QQQ have beaten bitcoin for years now. The time to have bought bitcoin was pre-2017 or so. those days over for good. Bitcoin is weak and bloated, never goes up anymore, too many old wallets and whales dumping. Too much regulation.
Probably not the nerd snipe you were hoping for but a huge amount of law is now codified in common law jurisdictions, too. Judges don't make law in the same way that they used to. They may have somewhat more flexibility to interpret legislation than their civil law counterparts. But the prohibition on driving a horse under the influence into a gathering of people is almost certainly set out in legislation these days, and not (primarily) an old judicial precedent.

(That said, the "code" that results from such "codification" is still very much intended to be understood and interpreted by humans.)

It would have to, kind of my point. Either the browser or someone would have to create some javascript widget to do it.
You can use pluscal, it embeds in tla+ and compiles to it, it's fairly nice.
If you're studying HPC, I would say that it's probably worth learning how to do it the hard way, especially if you will have other projects that require doing so.

However, if you want to use Python, I would consider JAX. It has a nice set of operations based on numpy and scipy and can compile to many backends (GPU, TPU, CPU, etc.) using XLA. The compiler is great at finding ways to optimize routines that you might not think of. Some of the manual parallelism functionality is still considered experimental, but I haven't seen that cause any issues or prevent functionality.
