This is a very correct article. FPGAs should indeed be really easy to use!

I'm a little suspicious that they drew the Atlas mountains in the wrong spot.

Fungus probably needs more much too, because no photosynthesis.

A lot of people don't have opinions on arcane policy matters, but that is normal and not sinister. "Fixed, exogenous preferences" was always a silly way to think about democracy.

Sell it at lower prices. Demand is a function of price, not a scalar.

Overleverage / debt, and refusing to sell at a certain price, are actually very different things though. OpenAI might be a tire fire, but Samsung is the gold pan seller here, and presumably has an excellent balance sheet.

This is a bad explanation because it doesn't explain how the concurrency actually works. Is it based on stacks? Is there a heavy runtime? Is it stackless and everything is compiled twice? IMO every low level language's async thing

If people pay for inference, that's revenue. Ads and stuff is plan B for inference being too cheap, or the value being too low.

I would not expect wealthy people to be more price sensitive over all.

I hope that someday that https://github.com/nixos-bsd/nixbsd will be upstreamed into NixOS, and it will allow much easier switching between Linux and FreeBSD.

The wealthy don't buy more crap on black Friday. Inequality is very visible in terms of what sort of consumption occurs. Gotta look at the qualitatives.

Embrace nuclear would be continuing the existing recent trend of the Germans stopping talking down to the French, and also figuring out how to build new ones in a timely matter. Solar is pretty terrible outside of Spain, and even there the

EU is going to have to either - embrace nuclear - embrace North Africa, admitting them as member states, and doing massive solar there, and doing massive grid expansion to carry it north. And then in top of that, will their way to sufficien

Using completely different packaging infrastructure for the different platforms you support is no good! The goal with Nix should be that you can use the same infrastructure for all of Linux, macOS, and Windows. (And other Unixes, other OSes

On Nixpkgs master, you can cross compile to MinGW and Cygwin. Native Cygwin builds are also currently in progress: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/447520 . I would expect this to be done very soon, there

You could quickly rule out non-determinism by reproducing the build with the new and old tools. You could also try the newer version of the codebase with the older tools (assuming nothing broke / no newer C++ features) if you like.

I know. I am not saying I got the order of magnitude exactly right, just pointing out beyond a certain threshold the size of the stockpile doesn't matter. I suspect that if a nation state puts its mind to it, stockpiles great enough to

It's a goal of mine to get Valve using Nix. (I hope our in-progress Windows support would make this especially compelling.) One advantage of this is that it will become very easy to not only build the original source of the game, but a

Is 150 vs 250 years of energy reserves a disadvantage in practice?

by Ericson2314 11mo ago
Uranium is far, far energy denser than any fossil fuel, and thus much easier to stockpile.

He wasn't so "commercial" because he was doing more complex and countrapuntal music after it was falling out of fashion, and he never did an opera, which was all the rage.

Yeah he did hugely advance it. This didn't really get noticed in his own day, as they were busy dumbing things down into the classical period, but he was hugely influencial through rediscovery. Except for Italian humanists rediscoverin

No it is definitely more work to use compiler magic. Sometimes the perf is better, but that's it.

What you are missing is the whole point of writing better languages is to write better libraries. It is not worth it to write better languages if just the "last mile" of final program is more productive --- making new languages is

The post concludes by saying it's hopeless to get this stuff implemented because back compat, but I do think that that is true. (It might be hopeless for other reasons. It certainly felt hopeless in 2015.) All this is about adding thin

Oh this is really good! I wrote https://github.com/Ericson2314/rust-papers a decade ago for a slightly different purpose, but fundamentally we agree. For those trying to grok their stuff after reading the blog post, co

I take it you disagree then with the GP that watering down the bill in hopes that Republicans and Fox News campaign against it less is a foolish idea?

I'm just going to say it's not a coincidence that this individualistic stuff is full of driving metaphors. Driving is one way to get around; it's not the only means of transportation.
