I've had similar experience managing ND people. I'll be more than happy to repeat the experience!

I'm in France. We've been using chip & pin cards for small-ish transactions since the early 90s, but it's only with Covid that the last few remnants who didn't use contactless (e.g. me) finally stopped using cash. Th

Anecdotal evidence: around me, several kids are on the autistic spectrum. It's hard to prevent them from intervening when they notice what they feel is an injustice, towards them or others. At some point, this included one of them regu

How do you dispatch to multiple cores in a single process in Python?

by Yoric 3y ago
I'm curious, how do you run ML in the same process?
876.
by Yoric 3y ago
Well, you need infallibility if you're going to code in Python.

You have my vote for Pitch of the Year. Possibly of Eternity, but it's a bit early for that. (also, yes, of course you'll need UB for Purgatory, etc.)
878.
by Yoric 3y ago
Well, if that code was written at any point after the 12th century, you need to add Purgatory. Also, for Limbo, you need to never have heard of the Catholic Church, so you probably need some kind of information tainting.

In France, the baseline was about 15-20€/month, if my memory serves. I'm sure that I was missing something at that price, but I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what. Probably some porn and sport channels?

Eh. I designed some kind of static type system for Erlang ~20 years ago. It wasn't very good and I changed job before I could test it on anything serious, but it was fun! Glad to see that some people are doing a more serious job than m

Every time I see microservices, or Kafka, or Redis, ... I can't help being disappointed because we seem to be stuck reinventing BEAM/Erlang (and Elixir) 30 years after the fact, except with technologies that are slower, more fragi

To emphasize, all human productions are biased, that's human nature, and news media are not exempt, despite many outlets making serious attempts to produce unbiased news. Part of the job of being a consumer of media is understanding th

True. However, please don't forget that the conglomerates being discussed initially do exist and have considerable influence in other countries than the US, so my remark remains :) Also, the Medici family was initially a wool company,

Well, one of his predecessors has opened the C, so perhaps Python is a logical evolution?

Well, historically, there have been a number of companies with the right to violence. The East Indies and West Indies Companies, for instance, or more recently United Fruit. I haven't bothered to check, but I'd be surprised if Big

We're in agreement, then!

Interesting take. I was analyzing this as not putting all your eggs in one basket in terms of AI capabilities, but you are right that it's probably also true in terms of cloud sales.

I don't feel that capitalism is an end to be pursued, but I agree that these conglomerates should be broken, for the sake of avoiding irreversible concentration of power.

That sounds... contradictory, isn't it? Python is immensely hostile to static analysis (note that I write this as someone who writes Python for a living, using pyright/mypy). If you remove the ability to perform static analysis fr

I'm one of the people who believe that TDD and safety-by-design (which is based on strong, static typing) are actually two sides of the same coin. In a sufficiently powerful type system, they could possibly even be two implementations

Well, I'd claim that Idris is pretty much that. A general purpose (if highly experimental) programming language with the power of a proof assistant. Also, I have seen people write proofs in Coq and extract them to compilable OCaml sour

It's a pretty common word in research. After all, "thought experiment" is actually a translation from German.

Yeah, the PyTorch disk format is pretty bad.

Well, I guess it's just not a kink of mine.

So... I fully understand porn, but I don't understand that. What is the point of having porn with the specific face of a non porn actor/actress? Is this a fetish I don't get? Artificial revenge porn? Having fun putting the fa

FWIW, I'm a staff backend engineer, I've been involved in hiring many times and I've never paid attention to certifications.

I believe that the point is the processor was designed to please C (by emulating PDP-11). And this design complicates things immensely, which is how we end up with side-channel attacks on our processors.
