I can definitely relate. If you find a solution, please ping me :)

Is it the main issue? Payments suffer from race conditions, but the processes themselves are deterministic, auditable and may be rolled back. Not sure how many of these important attributes would remain with a neural network at the helm.

I suspect that it's only a small corner of the software industry, which is itself only a small corner of industry. I further suspect that most actors will still want someone responsible to take the blame when an incident takes place. E

I'm not sure that's a sufficient argument. 1. Laws can change. 2. Blackbox models can provide specific reasons, even if they need to hallucinate them.

I believe that Linux is just a low-priority target. There are so few users on Linux that it's not worth investing in Linux support unless you specifically target Linux crowds.

There are a few very large features that BEAM offers that, as far as I can tell, no other industrial language/VM implements. In particular, BEAM is meant for distributed computation. You can spawn new processes, communicate between pro

(author here) I didn't mention tokio's io_uring because, as far as I understand, it is unmaintained. I vaguely recall a conversation in which someone (a contributor?) was claiming that it was not possible to implement most of the

(author here) Well, I haven't used Haskell in a few years, so I could absolutely be wrong. That being said, I'm almost sure that I saw a presentation by Simon Marlowe 15-20 years ago demonstrating GHC with a multicore scheduler (a

Maybe you can, indeed. I mean, the US was paying for the ability to project both force and influence all over the world. Clearly, the US isn't willing to pay for either thing at the moment.
195.
by Yoric 1y ago
There's actually some truth to that. For a long time, the US was quite happy (with ups and downs) with paying more to be the sole military leader of the West, and Europe with paying less while focusing first on rebuilding, then on losi

To clarify: it's not exactly "remotely disable". It's "block everything that depends on US clouds", which is a considerable downgrade (because you can't upload all mission parameters to an airplane without

Frankly, this sounds like you're repeating propaganda. When the US called its allies to its wars, NATO responded. Now that the rest of NATO is being threatened, the US is playing neutral, trying to see which side will bid highest for t

Are you sure? I mean, the current administration has repeatedly threatened to invade militarily two of its allies. Also, it has repeatedly threatened to not honor military agreements with most others, and both the current president and vice

From the abstract, this seems to be a scheduling mechanism for datacenters that serve multiple models. I have no idea whether this applies to Anthropic.

by Yoric 1y ago
Well, if it helps, plenty of us Europeans don't think of the US as allies anymore. The current administration has made it quite clear. The only hope is that the next administration will be a bit less eager to cut ties with all its alli

I seem to recall that MMM was based on this widget. For context, MMM was a browser that supported both browser addons and sandboxed applets, around 1995.

Ah, good point, I haven't programmed for anything other than x86-64 in a while. But even then, if you're using any kind of compiler, either this is successfully hidden from you... or you've hit some UB in C or C++ and you&#x2

I'll have to agree on that, I'm quite unhappy with the macOS window manager. On the other hand, I'm yet to find a Linux word processor or spreadsheet with a UX nearly as good as Apple's Pages or Numbers.

I'm a longtime (and happy) Linux user, but I have to admit that for many applications, UX remains much better on macOS.

Agreed, it's really weird. To the best of my understanding, the author describes the structured imperative programming style used since the 70s as "functional" because most languages used since the 70s offer functions. If so,

You are, of course, right, although I'd say that it's fairly unusual for the "sequential execution of CPU instructions" abstraction to leak. The wrongfully assumed "O(1) memory access" (or worse, wrongfully ass
