Go ecosystem is generally good. However, given that Go as a language doesn't have any "fancy" (for the lack of a better word) syntactical features you can't create DSL's like this

though Ruby's expressiveness comes at a cost and I'd personally stick with Go in a team but use something like RubyLLM for personal projects

Rmsnorm acts like a barrier. No compute on the next network layer can start before all compute in the previous layer is done.

Splitting networks across multiple GPU's, this means you must wait for the slowest node and the longest latency.

As soon as you can remove most of these barriers, compute over non-latency-guaranteed networks becomes more practical, as does non-homogeneous compute (ie. Mixing different GPU models).

If they were functionally equivalent, why signal a difference? What's the benefit, you think? I'm not saying that they definitely would signal a difference, but in this hypothetical, if the color difference remained, it would be obvious why.
To be honest I think it does not matter.

What I ask to a diagramming software:

- To be open source, or open specification/format.

- Easy eaditable (gui/tui/source), that is, primitives. I don't want to edit a text based diagram with a text editor (emacs artist mode).

- Free design features, so I have some control on the presentation.

- Render to text diagram as a first class feature, so it can be integrated in source code/control. From text rendering it can easily be converted to vectorial/raster.

- CLI to render.

- DSL, better with geometric (position, size) and styling features (color, bold face, ...).

I have found nothing that meets these criteria.

I'm actually using https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Asciio as the best approach.

When using low precision formats like float8 you usually have to upscale the activations to BF16 before normalising. So the normalisation layers are proportionally using more compute when going to lower precision. Replacing these layers would help reduce the compute cost significantly.

Why not both?

Chrome consistently pushes to make it easier for websites to track you -- by being the slowest browser to incorporate privacy protections like third-party cookie isolation, by eliminating extension APIs used by ad/tracker blockers, and by adding new features which expose more fingerprinting surface to websites. This disproportionately benefits Google because Google runs some of the largest web tracking networks (reCaptcha, Google Analytics, AdSense, etc). Even if Chrome was separate from Google, Google (along with other ad companies) could probably keep paying them to sabotage users' privacy.

Chrome also directly uploads a lot of data to Google. It's technically possible to use Chrome without syncing your browser history to your Google account, but a surprising number of people I know mysteriously managed to turn on sync without knowing it. Other Chrome data-collection initiatives, like Core Web Vitals, also provide a lot of value to Google's other businesses. Those are other products that Google could pay directly for.

"Wait, not like that": Free and open access in the age of generative AI
I love reading optimization stories so thank you!

So essentially the code got faster by switching to smarter regexp engine that can transform (hopefully) the regexp into a FSM.
Cool, but what about replacing the regexp with straightforward parsing code written manually? That way it is statically known that this function is fast all of the time.

At least that’s what I would do in a natively compiled language with access to simd, not sure if ruby has access to it and can detect the best variant at runtime.

And I’d argue plain code is simpler to understand, debug, troubleshoot than a complex regexp.

The regexp engine part reminds me of writing scalar code, relying on the compiler doing autovectorization to make it fast. And what very often happens is that the new compiler version changed their heuristics and now there is no autovectorization that kicks in and the performance falls off a cliff . It’s a risky bet.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a massive issue, I’d be interested to hear how this can be engineered around. My understanding is it requires more exotic materials than those used in any existing NG or oil pipelines. Everything I’ve seen claiming it’s viable to use existing infrastructure seems reasonable at first glance, but invariably contains a massive hand-wave or 2.
They come with (shitty) subwoofers (crossover probably something hilarious like 100Hz).
I'd say they both optimize for DX, but they come at it from very different angles. Ruby is focused on actually writing the code: making it feel expressive, intuitive, and fun.

Go is more about making it easier to build fast and robust systems. But it really doesn't care if the code itself is ugly and full of boilerplate.

As I've gotten more experience, I've come to really appreciate Go's tradeoffs. It's not as fun up front, but on the other hand, you're less likely to get server alerts at 4am. It really depends what you're building though.
I think that this must be done, but will have vanishingly small effect anyway. Browsers are software monsters and making one your lap dog through non-directly-financial means is a low-brainer if you’re google.

They will likely relax firefox live support afterwards to weaken its org structure, and new-chrome will seek contracts like search/etc and they will invent something like “feature requests with benefits” which aren’t exactly illegal.

The only true way is revolution against standards and grounding the cost of a browser to viable levels. It will be pain like 2->3 or ESM, and likely much worse, but we made it through before.

My only worry is that it will become even shittier to program for, because we lost sense of that 20 years ago.
Hi, great project! Can you add the library pylan? https://pypi.org/project/pylan-lib/
You can trust (in time), but you can't blindly upgrade. Vendor or choose to "lock" with a cryptographic hash over the files your build depends on. You then need to rebuild that trust when you upgrade (wait until everyone else does; read the diffs yourself).

There is something to be said for the Go proverb "a little copying is better than a little dependency", as well. If you want a simple function from a complicated library, you can probably copy it into your own codebase.
Pure hydrogen is not found in meaningful quantities on earth.

There’s a huge demand for hydrogen in industry and it’s almost exclusively met with steam methane reforming there’s some methane pyrolysis and a little green hydrogen but not much. If people could just drill for it, they would happier do so as being so light it’s easy to separate out from other gasses.

Regulatory capture has different flavours, but it basically comes down to the regulated taking control of or significantly influencing the regulator. It can be by the complete sector, but in my experience most often by the leading incumbants in a domain.

It can be through keeping regulation to be mild or look the other way, but as often to put up high cost/high compliance burdens in place to pull up the drawbridge for new entrants.
Is that a distinction without a difference from an end user perspective?

Chrome’s defaults are the main reason anybody is tracked by cross-site cookies any more, and that tracking massively and directly benefits Google’s business.

> OK does not convey the same thing.

Fine. Is "10-4" or "copy that" or "Roger" acceptable? Because the whole point of that text, in a work context (and this is always a work conversation; I like my partners but I'm not personal friends with them), is to convey "I have received your message". And a reaction generates an SMS that is, until you realize what it is, kind of incomprehensible. "Loved '[my comment]'" makes no sense when you get it as a long comment.

> The reactions may not help you

I have trouble seeing how they help anyone. You made an obvious joke. A guy who laughs at anything reacts "HA-HA!!" or whatever. What is the contribution? The youngest member of my partnership is 40, though we do have a 33-year-old joining in a few months.

This isn't "get off my lawn", much as I do love that. It's "explain to me how it's useful for actual minute-to-minute work". I'm a physician. An anesthesiologist. I never know when the next emergency will arise, but OTOH we don't go for a sterile cockpit approach because there are a lot of conversations that have to do with the running of the day at work that aren't entirely serious (and don't involve patient care, as such; that's why we don't use the sterile cockpit method - it's more about figuring out who can let whom go to lunch, becuase you can't just leave someone under anesthesia to go eat, or how we might be able to let Dr. X operate in about an hour - personnel management is the biggest part of my on-call duties).
It flows, you use fluid equations to describe it's state. I will grant that it flows in a different medium than molecular fluids. but that does not prevent it from being a fluid.

As for what is flowing, my understanding is that it is electrons in an em field. which if you think about it is almost the same thing that is flowing in a molecular fluid, only that has drag a bunch of protons around at the same time limiting performance.

What are some similarly ergonomic packages for other languages?
I can't agree with the underlying idea of this article at all.

1) hydrogen buses must be more expensive than electric. I don't see how that is true. Hydrogen uses an ICE that is much cheaper to purchase than batteries + motor. Of course early stage niche designs might be more expensive, but that doesn't mean that it will be more expensive at scale

2) somehow the hydrogen fuel must be a long way from the bus depot, because it was in one case. Bus depots often have their own diesel, why couldn't they have hydrogen?

3) it is much quicker to refuell a hydrogen vehicle than a battery vehicle. Superchargers can recharge a piddly car battery in 20 minutes. How much larger would they need to be to recharge a bus and how long would it take? How big a grid connection would you need to have 100 buses on charge overnight. It doesn't sound trivial at all

4) depreciation. An electric car depreciates very quickly because the battery lifetime is short. Think of how many batteries a bus would need, and write that down over 3 years. A hydrogen bus would have a similar lifetime to a diesel however

5) JCB who make earth moving and farm equipment realised that batteries would never have the energy density for those uses has gone all-in on hydrogen and has demonstrators of its main machines, a hydrogen bowser that can be brought to the field and a very compact hydrogen plant with solar panels that can allow a major user like a bus company to make their own hydrogen on site.

6) hydrogen can be produced using surplus electricity, making good use of renewables by storing the energy.

I would say that rather than transport operators demonstrating naive thinking, they have demonstrated their own.

I'm also suprised by the people on here think that this must be the result of advicacy from the petrochemical industry, then going on to shill for the electric vehicle industry themselves. The electric car industry is only alive due to subsidy, and is only just alive at that.
My unqualified hunch: if they did that, then a mitigation against such malware could be for the OS to serve completely deterministic data from /dev/random for all but a select few processes which are a priori defined.
I don't believe this is true, but you do have to give one of the iMessage groups a name to make it independent from another group.
If you imagine that primary key for a group is its name, and the default name for a group is its participants, this does kind of make sense.
I really don't think so. Their competitors have much, much better offerings here, so it's clearly not a limitation of the technology.
CCP Shit
Though all the digital nomads I met in Thailand kept their company / legal structure in their home country. Setting up shop in a new country - in particular in a slightly dodgy one - may not be worth the trouble to save some taxes on a modest income.
The US government requires that they receive the lowest public price for any medical care they pay for. Unfortunately, the US government is a very expensive customer to work with for many reasons. By sandbagging costs with very high public prices, it gives healthcare providers the latitude to, after various hidden discounts, charge the government more than private sector customers that actually cost them less to serve.

It is a perverse incentive created by the government insisting on the lowest price but having a very high overhead cost to deal with relative to everyone else that has to be paid for. Far from ideal but that is where we are. Quite a few fake prices in regulated markets can be explained by the government requiring that they receive the lowest price while incurring an unusually high cost overhead to the vendor.
Thanks, I did not know that :-)
They have to be dirt cheap tho and no one will do decent work with all the liabilities and certifications in a civilised world when there are plenty of Chinese junk for just a bit more.
"Sara Mazrouei, a planetary scientist and educational developer at Humber Polytechnic, says that while we tend to think of a spherical shape when we hear the word moon, anything that orbits a planet, or another body in space that is not a sun, is considered a moon. "

By that definition nothing beats earth with all the satellites and space junk.

So, something is wrong (either the definition, the quote is missing "natural", or picking Saturn as extraordinary).
Browsers shouldn’t be a product because any modern operating system that doesn’t come with a web browser is defective.

A browser is an operating system feature.

I mean, you can get alternative file manager programs. Pay for them, even. But most people will never bother.
> * Digital “purchases” are transferable…

Digital purchases are often subscription based which for physical goods (eg newspapers) is also non transferable (as it does not make much sense). In contrast, “one-of” licences are already transferable mostly. Either because the licence keys is a bearer token or companies support transfer (if you’ve registeted).
So you dont accomplish much here, I think, but still I agree it’s a good idea to get the details right and fixed in law.

Encryption for end users is de facto legal almost everywhere except for UK. For vendors it's illegal almost everywhere maybe except for USA, but that's just how the law works in USA: you receive a subpoena, then it's up to your luck.
It does that because it's required to. The system is called Certificate Transparency[1] and browsers require certificates to be in CT logs to be accepted.

If you want to hide what subdomains you have you can use a wildcard certificate, though it can be a bit harder to set up.

not mentioned in or at all related to TFA, but go off.

> mostly-government-funded

False. Just blatantly wrong. The 990 you linked reports zero revenue from government sources, (part 8, line 1e) and 21m from other grants and contributions (i.e. private sources). Regrettably their website's donors page is broken, but their most recent annual report[1] reports large contributions from exactly the large grant-making foundations you'd expect (Robert Wood Johnson, Hilton, Melville, Ballmer, Annie E. Casey, ...).

> 400k

354k, plus 44k in other benefits (i.e. health insurance etc.). Regardless, yes people working for nonprofits get paid. These are professional organizations. The people that fund these organizations want their contributions to be effectively utilized to pursue the mission of the nonprofit. Finding people who will accept the absolute minimum rarely leads to an effective, sustainable organization.

> deliverable

This is (primarily) an advocacy organization. Research, data, reports, analysis, consultancy, marketing material, etc. are their byproduct and collateral. Their goal is to cause impactful, beneficial programs to be funded, implemented, and have their effects realized by the needy populations their serve. The programs they've supported (e.g. National Housing Trust Fund) and their continued and growing support from private foundations should be evidence of success in their mission.
