Is Julia at the level of stability to be useable by large projects? I've tried to follow and it always looked promising but there were a lot of reports about things being subtly broken in hard-to-debug ways . Anyone have more recent ex

The leading example in the article is Carmel, Indiana. I am not sure what has been done there should be described as a model of competent governance. This is a small city (100k people/50k workers/37k households [1]) where the city

Organizations like Exxon-Mobil promote these fairy-tale schemes as a talking point to counter legislation that would restrict their unlimited production of fossil-fuel based plastics. Its the same scheme with carbon capture for coal-burning

cc65 aims for full C language support, which kickC does not have, but cc65 code will never look like hand assembly which kickC often does.

The 6502 is somewhat famously a hard target for the C language, and KickC does quite well at producing good results in spite of this. The C language is heavily based around pointers and stack usage. The 6502 has a minimal hardware stack: 25

This paper is from a small group at an academic institution. They are trying to innovate in the idea space and are probably quite compute constrained. But for proving ideas smaller problems can make easier analysis even leaving aside comput

This is one of those unknowns that climate scientists couldn't predict: melting permafrost is releasing minerals that have been locked in place for thousands of years.

Could be that the independence of training points available decline as the dataset size grows? At some point it becomes hard to add data that isn't essentially similar to something youve already added.

I understand the conext to be that for a smart TV with Roku built in as the operating system, the idea is that if the TV is set to take input from a HDMI device which is idle the Roku OS might take over and display its own content. Like pre

For me "eschewing unnecessary complexity" stands out as a phrase that I've heard in the context of joking (as it is itself an unnecessarily complex wording) but which didn't fit well here as it didn't seem any jokin

My impression is so far investigations are extremely preliminary, not much more than was necessary to validate the authenticity of the documents. Hopefully we will see a lot more detailed analysis come out in the coming years.

According to the article in La Jornada one of the codices is a palimpsest! Under multispectral imaging older erased Aztec text is visible. If anything substantial can be recovered there it may be this should be counted as four new codices.

There are remarkably few surviving Aztec codices. Wikipedia lists 39, of which only 3 are possibly pre-hispanic. The new codices all seem to be in the later group, but this is still a substantial increase of the corpus. [1] https:/&#x

This is (2012). I don't see that it has been discussed before here though. I guess it didn't make much of a splash.
