Halide comes to mind (though it a DSL and not a full independent language). I wonder if Futhark does? Eg https://futhark-lang.org/student-projects/pedersen-nelin-msc...

Depends on the programming language. A good question is why we don't have more optimizable languages in mainstream use.

Technically they are, just a subset. But still a practical one, they're frequently used to produce executable files.

Depends on the GC. For some the amount of work is related just to live objects.

Fossil fuels use continues to increase and shows no signs of slowing down: https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels Instead of trying to push with a string (coming up with new non fossil energy sources) we need to ramp down

Are there going to be self sustaining server factories in space? The hw needs updating every few years.

Does making it "just work" here come with any caveats vs standard PG?

When I realized they're going to be largely powered by increased natural gas use in the USA, neatly combining with our biggest problem so far (the climate catastrophe).

Worst indeed, hardly anyone trades with them.

The Mac is very feeble compared to the big iron that the providers run so will be much lower performance. Also many companies would prefer engineers work on the domain problems instead of working on novel LLMs.

History tip: Using /etc/hosts (or as it was called then, "the HOSTS.TXT file") ran into some problems.

The thing about Docker is that it's pretty nebulous, might mean the namespace-based container thing, or might mean the virtual machine app (Docker Desktop), or might mean the agent sandboxing thing (Docker Sandboxes).

There's also the precedent of the several ARM Linux systems they shipped that tended to have much worse support.

There are ways to trade off compute power for memory bandwidth (like MTP and other speculative decoding approaches). The CPU and GPU would need to be able to share the same cache for this to work. In the Strix Halo case the GPU has a privat

I was thinking more about the 0-3 year old midrange x86 laptops and phones, they have unified memory GPUs that are easily worth using (vs CPU), support narrow FP datatypes but don't have a ton of memory bandwidth.

> Lots of models will run on 8-12 GB 1080-generation GPUs onwards, or on Macs with similar memory, which are probably the bottom end from a GPU power perspective anyway. Not the bottom end - most people are on laptops or mobile devices

WebGL fingerprinting is of course an attack and a unintended use of the WebGL API. Browser vendors should respond to this misuse somehow (reputation based blacklist?).

The most often cited figure for knowledge workers seems to be 1B, an order of magnitude difference to your assumption. Also, according to https://isaiprofitable.com/ total industry spend is also an order of magniture less t

It's unrelated to the lazy keyword. Instead it's another feature related to error messages. The example: >> 'hello'.toUpperCase() Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: 'str' obj

If we go by the dictionary definition "Plagiarism means using someone else’s work without giving them proper credit" then I'll bet in art authorized plagiarism has historically been a common occurrence, for example.

If we so choose. If we want to move faster than we can mange to balance things, we can also reduce energy use. It's all just political decisions.

Lots of Clojure, no Scala. I wonder how Scala is doing in the field lately.

The green movement's main job is to convince the rest of the policymakers to take the bull by the horns, the rest is just technical details. Though nuclear can't do much in the near term and it doesn't seem cost competitive a
