Ban what? City-scale tourism and immigration? How? Passport controls on the city borders? Walls? We are not at this stage yet. If you live in a nice city (and Barcelona is a great city, truly a world's treasure), it attracts tourists,

I don't think authorities worry about I2P at this point, it is too small and requires some technical expertise to use. It is however much more anonymous and privacy-preserving than Tor, so yes, some corners are dark enough (you will ra

You have no say in it. All cities are open for everyone who have the legal right to go there and spend money.

There is no such thing as “flat spacetime”, or, above all, “absolute” background spacetime. This is what relativity explicitly denies. Spacetime appears as pairwise metrics between objects (i.e. quanta/particles), and doesn’t exist bes

“If you accept that we live in spacetime, and it can be curved, then I think you should accept that gravity cannot be a force.” I am on the opposite time of thinking — where spacetime itself emerges from particle interaction events. Pairwis

Ah, that no longer relevant distro filled with dark patterns, spyware^W telemetry, barely working snaps, and “updates” you can’t install unless you pay for enterprise support… Thanks but no thanks! Fedora is still sane, at least.

KGB was split to what is now SVR (ex 1st main department) and what is now FSB (2nd main department), with some other organizations taking remaining roles. These days however, the Russian intelligence landscape is more complicated, with mult

I think you are right, API is the most important part; internal implementation can be optimized later.

I prefer mid-scale services. For a given app, there shouldn’t be more than 20-30 of them (and preferably around 10). Each will still have clean ownership and single responsibility, but the chaotic quadratic network effect will hopefully not

Hi! Good to hear. Why it is not mentioned anywhere on the main site?

by atemerev 2y ago
Cool! As underlying values, do you use integers, bigdecimals, or a decimalized double hack like in OpenHFT?

OK, thanks! I will try to write something with it and perhaps come help with the documentation.

But of course. Jack is King’s self-insertion, and when he sees Jack as completely unsympathetic and evil in the movie, of course he doesn’t like it too much.

It does. However, its actor implementation is not built upon Erlang/OTP, and currently is “experimental” and not even mentioned on the main site.

The greatest power of BEAM-based languages is the fully preemptive actor model. Nobody else supports it. This is a superpower, the solution of most problems with concurrent programming. In Erland and Elixir, actors and actor-based concurren

The real answer is that we (I speak as a Russian) didn’t have such advanced computers in the USSR. What was routinely solved numerically in the US, had to be painstakingly traced analytically, and new methods had to be developed for such ap

Two 4090s have 48G too. For most (if not all) LLM-related tasks, there is no difference how many cards are used for the same amount of VRAM.
