A `monad` in Category Theory (which is where Haskell gets them from, ultimately) is a single-argument functor and two natural transformations, so there probably is a through-line here in terms of one-argument function-likes.

I’ve tried several times to give J/k/Q/kdb a chance but I haven’t really found a convincing example why this approach is better than say SQL or say numpy/jax etc.

The syntax has the same problem as perl in that you have to learn too many symbols that are hard to look up. And this combined with the tacit style makes it difficult to parse what the code is doing.

I think ruby went in the radically opposite direction in that it provides a similar feature set to perl with similar functional features but everything is human readable text. I feel like there’s room for a human readable version of J that relies less on syntactical sugar.

I do think the direction Klong has gone with the syntax is an improvement: https://t3x.org/klong/ambiguity.html

I’m curious if anyone has a go-to article/example of why an array language would be a good choice for a particular problem over other languages?

I know the second chapter of J for C programmers is kinda like that but I didn’t really find it convincing: https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/culture_shock.htm#_Toc1...

These days anti-trust measures tend to be framed in terms of increasing competition rather than market freeness. Which does make some sense. Hard to argue with increasing competition unless you're Peter Thiel.
I feel like they mostly don't playtest the rulebook very much, and that doing so would get it in great condition.

Watching someone try to learn the rules will tell you exactly where the rulebook is too complicated, doesn't introduce something at the right time, doesn't reiterate something that needs reiterating, doesn't emphasize something enough, etc.

Appears that GitHub trending is manually curated page
Referring to https://github.com/trending

I was expecting https://github.com/punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers/ to appear on that list given the pace at which it is gaining GitHub stars, however, it does not. Meanwhile, a bunch of projects that are growing a lot slower do appear on the list.

Therefore, I find their trending page misleading, as I always thought it is based on the stars gained.
>The only stupid thing they did was not getting into GPUs earlier

Intel has been "getting into" GPUs for two decades now going back to Larrabee. They are just not good at it.

yes, htmx is very much suggesting returning HTML rather than JSON from the server, and collapsing a layer of complexity in the process. this has turned out very well for some applications, dramatically lowering complexity:

https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/

looking at caption.me, I see nothing that couldn't be effectively addressed using this hypermedia approach, and I suspect it would simplify the application. You don't worry about "breaking the other side" because there is no other side: everything is hypermedia, in the original mode of the web

I don't think PHP has much to do with htmx: you can use PHP if you'd like on the server side, but you can use whatever server side technology you'd like to produce HTML. People are using Go, Java, Kotlin, Scala, Rust, Python, Lisp, etc. with it and it works fine. It's a generalization of hypermedia controls[1] (anchors and forms) and, like anchors and forms, has no opinion on what the server side looks like.

One piece of good news regarding htmx is that the API is not going to change dramatically in perpetuity, so there is no treadmill to keep up with.

When he came back to Intel I was saying that all this ‘finally an engineer’ in charge stuff was misunderstanding Pat Gelsinger and VMWare was front and center in my thinking that.
so that comes quite right. Im currently working on a codebase that has evolved over 30-ish years. The makefiles are quite a mess and since ages, the software has been built sequentially which results in build times beeing much longer than required.

Of course the project consists of multiple module which you should be able to build seperately, thus recursive calls are quite common amongst the makefiles.

First test with only a hand full of jobs (-j) already failed in the beginning, i could fix these quite fast (missing makefile targets).

Now i have the situation that on some build systems (with faster CPU) i still see races, where the same makfile target for a subproject runs at the same time and overwrites each others target files. On other build systems it works without any issue. However, ive still failed to reproduce the failure manually, it usually happens during automatic build invoked by jenkins or gitlab.

Is there a way to make "make" simulate those builds so one could tell where the cause for the races is in detail?
I work in a large enterprise company, have both windows and mac machines, and excel works equally great in both, but more and more excel runs in a browser.

We mostly email links to spreadsheets running in cloud. So it really doesn't matter what your OS is any more from an excel perspective, as long as your computer can run a modern browser you are good.
His original complaint being dismissed matters because it suggests that he was fishing around for a complaint that was valid, and that perhaps his primary motivation was to get money out of Google.

Legal nitpick - you can get away with alleging pretty much whatever you want in a legal complaint. You can't even be sued for defamation if it turns out later you were lying.

Jeff Dean isn't saying that Cheng et al. should be unpublished; he's saying that they didn't run the method the same way. It is perfectly fine for someone to try changing the method and report what they found. What's not fine is to claim that this means that Google was lying in their study.
Redundant codons allows for more fidelity in signal. If you notice for most codons in the codon table the third base in the codon can mutate and still encode for the same amino acid. Now that position in the DNA is more tolerant of receiving a mutation to the point we call it a silent mutation if one is there.
> What is (theoretically, or practically) being achieved by running sudo instead of just logging in as root?

Auditing.

> Can you give an example that justifies typing your password up to hundreds of times per day coupled with deliberate hashing delays?

1. I don't do that hundreds of times per day because the stuff I run generally runs pretty well.

2. sudo has password caching, so only the first execution needs a password.

3. If I'm doing a lot, I may sudo-to-root: auditing can still see me going in and becoming root, so it can be determined that I did stuff.
I'm not sure but from the outside it seems his biggest sin was not clearing out the executives that let the rot get to this point to begin with.
Everyone wants to write the build tool in their favorite language, and then stops when the work gets hard. :)
That depends heavily on what you're working with. If it's POD types then ok. But a lot of things fit into the destructor paradigm. Note it's not just memory. The R in RAII is for resource, not memory.
>For example back when Photoshop was several hundred dollars...

>However there were also programs such as Pixelmator...

Photoshop is way older than Pixelmator. In the 90's I would use Paint Shop Pro also known as PSP. People still pirated that - including me - because we were kids with no income just looking to mess with cool computer stuff.

Though honestly, it's in Adobe's best interest to turn a blind eye to individual piracy as it keeps their products the incumbent. Little johnny pirating Photoshop to edit his class photos is of no loss to Adobe. Instead, when johnny is old enough to make a living editing images Johnny will likely reach for Photoshop, this time with an open wallet. So piracy is really the ultimate trial version of software. Of course you have to make a show and lynch a few people in public to keep them fearful just enough to ensure most people pay to play. So you get the stories of some granny or 12yo hung out to dry for piracy.

On the topic of mentoring, I focus on people who ask good questions. I know how to teach a lot, but not that.

I was interested to see that a co-founder is Stanford CS prof Fei-Fei Li. I'm reading her nonfiction book now, "The Worlds I See," about her experience with AI; she testified before Congress about it.
I'm not exactly sure what this means, but the bandwidth to the level 3 cache isn't actually more than memory. If you only have a few megabytes to work with, it's a lot less likely performance is going to matter anyway, and if it does you would still want to do multiple operations on each array item if possible, because if you put a few more lines in a loop you're talking about registers at that point, not cache.

It takes the absolute fastest teams, it seems, 7 months to develop a first version of a model. And it also seems that models are like babies, 9 moms do not produce a model in 1 month.

The tough thing is that it may be possible to develop a great video model with DiTs for $220m; or it may be possible to develop a great video model with Chameleon for $1b; but if it's 3D + time, will it be too expensive for them to do?

The craziest thing to me is that these guys are super talented, but they might not have enough money!

A Western academic would phrase it very differently. If you read the paper, they claim that a document called the "Jiatu Zhijia" describes a very similar object called a jiatu that supposedly resembles a divine turtle that caused legendary emperor Yao to abdicate to Shun, i.e. acting as a material carrier between heaven and earth.

I can't actually find other English uses of that name, and while I can guess that they're referring to one of a small set of documents discussing the (possibly mythological) abdication of Yao, those documents were written thousands of years after the events. I'm not wholly opposed to the argument, but you should explicitly justify it in cases like this instead of accepting the symbolism uncritically.
Just as a note, real chemical weapons are not like this at all. Basically, VX (in the US and basically all other countries) is stored in binary form(1), two separate, basically clear chemicals with a glass wall that separates them, and the wall breaks from the force of the blast and the chemicals mix and you have VX, but it doesn't look cool. So Michael Bay had them make this instead, because it looked better on film.

There was a famous bit from the Iraq Inquiry Committee (aka the Chilcot Report) where they found that MI6 reported a bit of intelligence to Tony Blair that a source in Iraq claimed that they produced VX at the Al-Yarmuk plant- but described what was in the movie, not real life. After it was reported to Blair that they had sources who had seen VX in Iraq, they showed the raw intelligence to someone who knew something about chemical weapons and they said "Whatever your source saw, it wasn't VX" and MI6 realized that the source was lying. (I think that this source is different from the more famous liar Curveball.)

1: Besides being bad for humans, VX is also bad for metal, and will destroy any case if kept in long term storage. Basically if you load a normal chemical weapon shell with mixed, ready to go VX it will be unusable- more of a threat to the crew firing the howitzer than the enemy- within a few days.

Things get a bit messier once you're doing research mathematics — definitions don't just come from nothing, and a good definition is one that serves its theorems. Definitions can be "wrong" (they might be generalizable, they might have unexpected pathological examples, etc.), and it's the result of lots of hard work by lots of mathematicians throughout history that we have the definitions we enjoy the use of today.

But yeah, while studying math, I think it's similar to learning programming — don't blame the compiler for your mistakes, it's a well-tested piece of software.

I think a merger with Nvidia would be more likely given the antitrust issues that a merger with AMD would bring up.

Any "plan" to put them in a position where they are "powerless" basically forces them to flex that option

Dollar valuation is complex, as it too is subject to the laws of supply and demand. In the short-term, tariffs can paradoxically increase the value of the dollar as more dollars are needed (demand) to pay the tariff. Things get a little more difficult in the long-term. Tariffs disrupt trade and money flows. If that disruption causes the US to be seen as a safe haven for investments, then the demand for US dollars increases and so does its value. Otherwise, if people start pulling out of investments in the US, then the demand for US dollars decreases and so does its value. It really depends on the impact of the tariffs on the global community's willingness to invest in the US once the tariffs are in place.
Reminds me of those signs on the interstate pass throughs that connect one side to the other, that cops often sit on. The sign says something like "authorized vehicles only" because presumably every one needing to turn around would use them to u-turn on the interstate, which is likely considered to not be safe. I used one to turn around one time and when called out by my kid, I assured him that I was authorized. I have no idea who is actually authorized to use those, outside of emergency vehicles.

The hard truth is that the combination of institutions that are the remnants of colonialism have a lot to do with unprecedented improvement in material well-being all over the world, over the last 400 years or so.

It is not pleasant to think about it in these terms; but it does seem like some of the greatest improvements in general human welfare have their roots in relatively ungenerous undertakings by methodical, reasonable, self-interested actors. The Romans roads and the Pax Romana, and the profound legacy of Roman law, were not the result of a benevolent desire to help everyone in the world and save them from evil.

That table shows UK data from the 90s, aviation has made a lot of progress since.

How exactly the risk of flying compares to other modes of transportation on a per-trip basis is a difficult question to answer really well, I couldn't find one place aggregating up-to-date statistics.

If you look here https://accidentstats.airbus.com/generations-of-jet/, they say that "generation 4" aircraft (e.g., Boeing 787 or Airbus A350) have a fatal accident rate of 4e-8 per journey.

That would make those airplanes about twice as safe as car travel in the US on a per-trip basis according to this paper https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/166/2/212/9878....

Unfortunately the 4e-8 number can't be compared directly to the fatalities per billion journeys numbers from the table you cite, since fatal accidents include accidents where at least one person died, including things such as accidents with personnel on the ground where all passengers were safe.

If we ignore this and assume a 100% death rate, that would put flying in the same ballpark as car-based transportation from the table you cite, but more dangerous than a bus by almost a factor of 10. This definitely overestimates the danger of flying, possibly by a lot, since there have not been any hull loss accidents with those aircraft models so far.

I think the general conclusion holds that flying has in the last few decades become comparatively safe even on a per-trip basis (at least on modern aircraft).

But I haven't found great data enabling a detailed comparison to other forms of transportation.
