I have a cargo ship-sized suspicion that your code is difficult to read for reasons other than intrinsic complexity.

You’ve found a way to explain it to yourself and excuse it to others, but you won’t always be the smartest person in the room.

Also that’s not what was said.

> more then 5 seconds to read and understand the high level goal of a function

Understanding what something is for is not understanding how it accomplishes it.
Exactly. Castigating an entire group of people as a useless, singleton hivemind.. that reeks of the stench of despicable, blind hatred.
Does it encode everything as json object, so special characters are getting escaped?

I’ve noticed that with longer responses (particularly involving latex), models are a lot less accurate when the results need to be additionally encoded into JSON.

I like structured, but my preference is yaml/markdown, as it is a lot more readable (and the only thing that works with longer responses, latex or code generation).

Well, that depends on whether or not you care about "store now, decrypt later". Will the info you're sending now be totally uninteresting in 5 years? Great, you're probably good. Do you still want it to be secret in 20 years? Implementing post-quantum cryptography might be urgent.
Yes, JSX is a superset of JS and will not work in any tooling that is not explicitly JSX compatible. JS grammars will not parse it, it's not standard.

Terrible, doesn't even specify the SoC used, or the CPU core.

The K1 is fairly slow (e.g. slower than even VisionFive2's JH7110), thus not very interesting.

Because running a parallel process is often difficult. In most cases, the question becomes:

So, how exactly is my app/whatever supposed to spin up a parallel process in the OS and then talk to it over IPC? How do you shut it down when the 'host' process dies?

Not vaguely. Not hand wave "just launch it". How exactly do you do it?

How do you do it in environments where that capability (spawning arbitrary processes) is limited? eg. mobile.

How do you package it so that you distribute it in parallel? Will it conflict with other applications that do the same thing?

When you look at, for example, a jupyter kernel, it is already a host process launched and managed by jupyter-lab or whatever, which talks via network chatter.

So now each kernel process has to manage another process, which it talks to via IPC?

...

Certainly, there are no obvious performance reasons to avoid IPC, but I think there are use cases where having the compiler embedded makes more sense.
I have one A record for my home ip address. This is dynamically updated by my router whenever the public IP address changes. Everything else is a CNAME pointing at the A record. Completely set and forget and supported by most of the shelf consumer routers or router OS like vyos.

This is a much preferable solution to me as there are no changes to external-dns resources when the public IP changes. Granted, i don’t run a dual stack setup.
Woz is 100x the net positive to humanity of Jobs.

Jobs collected a lot of money which just benefitted himself at the expense of everyone else. Everyone else just got handed shiny pacifiers that didn't actually enable, empower, or enrich them as well as other actual "bicycles for the mind".

Dweebs do indeed believe Woz is more important than Jobs, in the same way they believe actual tools are more important than toys and pacifiers no matter how pretty they are, and don't confuse "succeeds at extracting money from everyone else" with "important".
I feel like all those AI agent attempts are misguided at their core because they don't attempt to create new ways but replace humans on the legacy systems. This is fundamentally shortsighted because the economy, life and everything is about humans interacting with humans.

The current AI agent approach appears to be permutations of the joke about how people will make AI to expand their once sentence to a long nice e-mail and the AI on the receiving end will summarize that long e-mail into single sentence.

I get that there's a use case for automating tasks on legacy systems but IMHO the real opportunity is the opportunity to remove most of the legacy systems.

Humans are not that bad you know? Is it creating UIs for humans using AI then make AI use these UI to do stuff really the way forward?
Fridges and freezers are pretty power efficient, on the whole, because they're big insulated boxes and the power that leaks through isn't very much. An average of 50W power consumption is not ludicrous for a fairly large, properly functioning fridge (the peak will be larger, since they cycle on and off). It will depend on ambient temperature, of course, but even a pretty beefy fridge running at 100% (which will probably fail in short order since the mechanics are not generally designed for such) is not going to be drawing the 1.6kW you are suggesting.
Hi Matt! I've observed this phenomenon as well.

When the SQL and Pandas examples are isomorphic except for shallow syntactic differences, the root cause of the complaint must either be:

* that the judgment was emotional rather than substantive
* or that the syntactic differences (dots and parens) actually matter
Yeah, fun, right?

I've looked up why before, tldr it's just because historically astronomers have never had to care in any detail about chemical reactions (this is not strictly true of course, but somewhat close for at least a large subset). So they just need a term for "crap that came from stars".

> distinct Cyber branch of the military instead of Cyber Command

It's not 'instead', it's adding a cyber branch to a different org chart. There are two major org charts in the US military:

The services, such as Army, Navy, Space Force, etc., which are generally defined by domain (land, sea, orbit) and whose role is to recruit, organize, train, and equip forces - to prepare them, but not to deploy or command them in operations.

The combatant commands, which are defined by geography - such as Africa Command, Indo-Pacific Command - and sometimes by geography-independent domains, such as as Space Command or Cyber Command. The combatant commands deploy the resources provided by the services in various combinations. Modern conflicts generally require resources from multiple services/domains working jointly.

It makes some sense - you want domain experts to train and equip them for their domain, then you must necessarily deploy them jointly. Who should organize, train, and equip sea-born forces? Probably you want the Navy to do that, not the Army. Who should organize, train, and equip electronic domain forces (I hate the term 'cyber')? Do you want your IT organization organized, trained, and equipped (think of the importance of each step) by the US Marine Corps, or maybe by some actual researchers, engineers, and experienced managers?
Good example actually. You started with a books array, and changed the type to authors half-way through.

To know the return type of the chain, I have to read through it and get to the end of each line.

A longBooks array, and map(longBooks, ‘author’) wouldn’t be much longer, but would involve more distinct and meaningful phrases.

I used to love doing chains! I used lodash all the time for things like this. It’s fun to write code this way. But now I see that it’s just a one-liner with line breaks.
Comment I replied to said 'no less than £10 per 250g' so I don't know why you're dismissing my response of a specialist (if not high end) supplier at as low as £6.95 in that quantity as irrelevant somehow.
> "So it's not just that the lead architect of C# is involved in the TypeScript changes."

Anders Hejlsberg hasn't been the lead architect of C# for like 13 years. Mads Torgersen is:

https://dotnetcore.show/episode-104-c-sharp-with-mads-torger... - "I got hired by Microsoft 17 years ago to help work on C#. First, I worked with Anders Hejlsberg, who’s sort of the legendary creator and first lead designer of C#. And then when he and I had a little side project with others to do TypeScript, he stayed over there. And I got to take over as lead designer C#. So for the last, I don’t know, nearly a decade, that’s been my job at Microsoft to, to take care of the evolution of the C# programming language"

Years later, "why aren't you using YOUR LANGUAGE, huh? What's the matter, you don't like YOUR LANGUAGE?" is pushy and weird; he's a person with a job, not a religious cult leader.

What realistic contender doesn't have all the same general features as Go? It doesn't exactly have many to choose from, none of them particularly esoteric, and most of them bare necessities required of any language.

Let's be real: You can absolutely write "Go-style" code in just about any language that might have been considered for this. But you wouldn't want to, as a more advanced type system enables entirely different idioms, and it is in bad faith to other developers (including future you) to stray too far from those idioms. If ignoring idioms doesn't sound like a bad idea on day one, you'll feel the hurt and regret soon enough...

Go was chosen because the idioms are generally in alignment with their needs and those idioms are wholly dependent on the shape of its type system.

> You don't really think that functional languages aren't appending things, using temp vars, and using conditional logic behind the scenes, do you? What do you think ".filter(node => !node.isHidden)" does? It's nothing but a for loop and a conditional by another name and wrapped in an awkward, unwieldy package.

But the whole point of higher-level languages is that you don't have to think about what's going on behind the scenes, and can focus on expressing intent while worrying less about implementation. Just because a HLL is eventually compiled into assembler, and so the assembler expresses everything the HLL did, doesn't mean the HLL and assembler are equally readable.

(And I think that your parent's point is that "awkward, unwieldy package" is a judgment call, rather than an objective evaluation, based, probably, on familiarity and experience—it certainly doesn't look awkward or unwiely to me, though I disagree with some of the other aesthetic judgments made by your parent.)

First the smaller circuits will trip first, that's where the current is actually flowing, there wouldn't be any actually flowing through the whole house breaker in your idea. The main circuit to your house is 100+ Amps (this would be a tiny old circuit most houses have larger main feeds these days) at least. You'd have to feed at that much through the main disconnect for it to trip.

Second even if you could push that many amps through the main breaker somehow to trip it you'd be feeding it through wires designed for 15-20 amp nominal loads which would cook them.

It looks beautiful. But I honestly don't understand what the market is.

OP answered in one of the comments that it will run a single fridge for 32 hours.

I understand the benefits of a UPS that will run your desktop computer during a brief power outage of a couple of hours. And I understand a generator that will keep your house running for 10 days after a natural disaster. And I understand a Powerwall that can suck up electricity at night when it's cheap to use it during the day.

But this doesn't fit any of those categories. It's way too expensive to run a desktop computer, doesn't last anywhere near long enough for power outages from natural disasters, and isn't going to make a meaningful difference in your energy bill if a single device can only handle 5% of your home's daily energy needs.

And you don't even need it for a fridge/freezer -- it'll stay cold enough on its own for a day without power as long as you don't open it much.

I applaud the creativity, but I genuinely don't understand who the market is supposed to be?
Not to hard pivot but any DIY links you’d recommend? I’ve been getting into this field and would like to DIY something around this scale. Keep a fridge running, maybe have a little dc circuit for a home lab.

Not sure how they would handle that part to ensure something like "Patient X was diagnosed with X in 2001" existed for the vector search to confirm it without using LLMs which could hallucinate at that step.

Not much to say. Couldn't buy gunpowder as a 12-year-old, but the drug store would sell you saltpeter (KNO4?) if you said your mom was using it to cure ham and sulfur (I think it was used on wounds) and it was easy to make charcoal and grind it to a powder.

I support Puerto Rican statehood and representation in US federal elections†.

Until then, I don't see any hope of meaningful federal support in times of Puerto Rican crisis. Too many Americans are not sure whether Hawaii is a state, or if Rhode Island is an island. The amount of time that PR occupies anyone's thoughts in Real America™ is basically nil. Just like Trinidad, or Turks and Caicos. "Oh, I know someone who took a cruise there. They don't speak English do they?" That's it.

† I also support Puerto Rican self-determination and independence. :) But that path will not bring FEMA, or infrastructure investment.

Only 0.03% of the US has home battery storage like Powerwall or a bank of LiFePo batteries, and the 99% uses diesel generators or waits it out.
