Very cool! I would imagine this helps LLMs catch errors while refactoring code. How hard is it to migrate existing pandas/Polars code to Typol? Most importantly, how did you come up with the name?

That wikipedia page mentions SpaceX reached a deal to lease all of Colossus 1 to Anthropic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_(supercomputer)#cite_... So will SpaceX lease Colossus 2 to Google? If both Colossus da

> Python essentially bet on UTF-32 (with space-saving optimisations) How so? Python3 strings are unicode and all the encoding/decoding functions default to utf-8. In practice this means all the python I write is utf-8 compatible uni

It's not the same thing as multidimensional arrays though. You can have multidimensional arrays without rank polymorphism. Rank polymorphism makes working with multidimensional arrays much easier because you can write one function whic

Yes we do. The OP's point is that _if_ there is collusion, building housing will help solve the collusion problem _and_ solve the housing shortage. Spending effort on theoretical collusion which may or may not be happening is a diversi

Or perhaps cooking? Cooking can really spike AQI if ventilation is suboptimal. Another potential explanation is cleaning products. I think these are both far more likely than perfume, as there is a much stronger link between AQI and lung ca

These aren't financial exchanges, they're a sports betting and an expense management system. I share OPs skepticism. Market makers invest in microwave towers, FPGAs, etc. I would be surprised if sqlite backed by NVME is on the oth

.... I mean in the case of more efficient cars supply of oil explicitly did not change. There are meaningful differences in terms of pricing strategies, anticipating demand, etc.

Yes, but for subtly different reasons. In the case of induced demand, the supply curve shifts to the right (eg number of highway lanes increases) so we move to the right on demand curve (or quantity increases, eg more people drive). On the

Intel products have been losing x86 to AMD in servers, desktop, and laptops. x86 itself is losing market share to ARM in the server and laptop space. Intel has no foothold in the fastest growing chip space (GPUs). Intel foundry has fallen b

A significant amount of zoning is about what type of housing you can build where, how much of it you can build, and how you have to build it. For example, in Berkeley California, which was one of the first cities to implement "exclusio

This does help, but the hard part of memory leaks is leaks across module/api boundaries. You can write a memory safe module, I can write a memory safe program, but when my program starts calling your program there's nothing valida
