Isn't streaming live video? It seems to me that youtube is exactly in archival video and hardly in streaming. But it's a big site so maybe a lot of people use it in ways I don't know.

Is there a precise difference between how openjdk works where it needs a warmup to begin running performantly and how a tracing jit works? If there a precise difference between how Ignition and Turbofan interact that is not a tracing jit? I

No, trying to benchmark Java and JS are the reason for the concerns.

I personally think tracing JIT is a bad technology. It's over complicated and makes it hard to reason about runtime space and time efficiencies of code. I don't know the best route for python to get more performance but it probabl

The issue of both sides being unable to have a conversation is a symptom of having only two parties.

I get this with Kara Swisher's Recode. Great guests but she talks over them and interrupts them to tell anecdotes about herself.

It's super interesting how Java got into the top 5 in the energy usage chart since the JVM is JIT compiling the code and running the code. It's doing more work than the other compiled languages so its budget to come in using less

Kurzwel is making predictions. Extrapolation is like the only method of making predictions.

If I understand your position correctly, you are optimistic that the human race will figure things out once a huge number of [poor] people are killed?

More valuable is actually describing what it does/what it's for. And the article does this: """ eBPF is a functionality of linux kernel that allows lightweight execution of user code as a response to kernel events.

Yes it's different. Another part of Benchmarklandia is where researchers make custom algorithms for the same dataset. Benchmarks targeting MNIST is a great example. :)

Welcome to benchmarklandia, where you find the top algorithm in an area and write a stripped down version that outcompetes it on a different set of data and get good results. See: hadoop->spark->spark with infiniband->spark with nv

And yet Americans pronounce Audi as ow-dee. British pronounce Nissan as niss-an (should be knee-sawn), etc. Americans pronounce La Croix brand water as La Croy (Should be ~lakwa, it's a pun on l'aqua) etc etc. Let's not worry

Pronouncing Qt as Cute is like pronouncing gif as jif. Maybe someone 'officially' says it's correct but basically no one does it and if they do, everything secretly judges them.

Maybe it depends on what you mean by "recipe for success of Silicon Valley" but I doubt weather has primary influence on the recipe. Sweden, South Korea, and Switzerland are considered the top 3 "innovative economies"[1]
