I think the term is a bit overloaded in this case. The examples given in the article describe commentary that the intended audience would be sympathetic towards. The content is divisive, but the audience is on the same side. I suppose &qu

Can't any path-unique evolutionary convergence be described this way? Why are we less surprised that both birds and bugs have wings?

Genuine question: What are the quality improvements offered by Python? Is it mostly access to the scientific community's Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib? The language's semantics?

What are the legal risks faced by Theo in this case? I’m guessing it’s not simply another DMCA takedown

by brrrrrm 5y ago
yes! Julia does compile this way. Julia emphasizes JIT compilation based on runtime types rather than runtime values. I couldn't get runtime captures to work, e.g. a = 2 function f(n) return n * a end println

Isn’t that only 20 people? Edit: as in, this is misleadingly phrased as if it’s a large collective action

It's typically faster to calculate a reciprocal (especially at compile time) and then multiply it, but this is often at the expense of precision. In C++, for example, the -O3 flag on gcc will still emit a division (divss) to preserve

I've never heard of this before. Speaking for myself, I don't mind it, but I'm curious if it tends to irk most people?

I'm not a web developer by profession, so I tried to keep things simple. It's just one Python process and one sqlite DB on a single cheap server. I like to think it's fair to ask the user to donate some compute for rendering

Unfortunately the browsers haven't quite settled on a standard, so the code posted only works in Safari. More context here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22022962

by brrrrrm 6y ago
yea, that's a glitch I've hit a couple times. I think Safari going into the background pauses the clock used for timing and resumes it a bit too late, which screws up the Gflops measurement.
535.
by brrrrrm 6y ago
this is a good point, and I'm quite curious what the hit will be. Safari makes it substantially easier to enable WebGPU than Chrome does (requiring a canary version and flags), which leads me to believe there's already some se

by brrrrrm 6y ago
eh, I'd prefer to save the source of truth when possible. I might want to swap out the rendering library one day for something prettier
537.
by brrrrrm 6y ago
oh this is an interesting concern. Perhaps I should expose an endpoint to allow checking the "last edit" date of all notes. I'll need to think through the privacy/security concerns about that, though
538.
by brrrrrm 6y ago
I looked into this in the past: it's the timing API (and the fact that I'm not running that many iterations of the kernels). Browsers restrict the resolution to prevent side-channel attacks

yea, I haven't spent too much time reducing the markdown rendering overhead (just pulled a library off the shelf). I basically just use this site to upload static text files. The same text can be rendered a couple ways (e.g. as hmtl, r

it's Safari's WSL API, which doesn't work on the other browsers. There's a bit of a debate about the API (Spir-V vs WSL/WHSL), you can find some context here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22
