IMO an argument against this is that the benefit though is not in the new tech itself, but different design paradigms it exposes you to and thought patterns you learn. Even if Rust were to die off tomorrow I’d be happy I invested my time in

I'll preface by saying by far my biggest gripe with Julia is the inability to deploy binaries easily. The only hope on easy deployment I suppose is to hope it becomes commonly installed enough that you can rely on it being on systems.

No, I’m telling you that sensational media is driven by demand. Demand from consumers who interact with the internet. Consumers who, on the internet, ONLY see upvoted comments about masa shootings and see anything talking about the more dea

No but foreign influence does help when any comment pointing out that there are things more important for the country to fix than mass shootings(heart disease and obesity) are immediately downvoted and mocked.

Why not both? They have the ability to make social media accounts and assist these fearful and outrages narratives, and they have the motive. I.e. they are 100%, without a doubt, doing just that

The “foreign influence” part is when mass shootings are a fraction of a fraction of the deaths, yet 50% of the news coverage. Media publishes sensational pieces about what consumers demand - consumer demand is increasingly driven by online

Here's my best short case for you: If you're writing code that is fundamentally based on mathematical principles and models, even if you aren't personally using mathematics every day, its going to feel a lot better in Julia.

But the CFD isn't to replace building the model...it's to give you a head start and reasonable starting location, and to find glaring errors. Otherwise you're going to be spending thousands and thousands running back to the w

The only way to “address” it though is individual: If you don’t want arbitrary code running on your system, you can’t use tools that require running arbitrary code.

I believe you’re missing some crucial points. *There is a reason neural network based flight controls have been around for decades but still not a single certified aircraft uses them.* You need to do all of these things you’re talking about

Poor solutions do that, yes, but unlike ML control theory has a rich field for analysis and design. You guys are talking about probably one of the few fields where an ML takeover isn’t very feasible. (Partly because for a vast portion of co

> He was trying to return a package, not shop at the store. So then it sounds like he’s not in very a strong position to declare the stores as an unmitigated failure…

by Nanana909 4y ago
Is that an issue with the store concept, or an issue with not making it clear to users that it’s a non standard drop off location? I don’t see the lack of a warning reflecting on the actual store itself very strongly. Also- why even bother
