By the look on the issues there, it seems the rest of the post is not that true either Edit. Call me a hater, but... I know the guy! That's the guy from Google whose code never works in the most hilarious ways! See issues on the rest o

You've made one of the best solutions, that matched what I thought of implementing myself, and at the time it was most needed. I think a couple of "thank you" are sorely missing in this comment section. Thank you!

Dear Noam, I remember your nickname from the Infernu project of yours. It was one of the best attempts at typechecking JavaScript I've ever seen, and it's as needed in modern days of TS team going insane as it never has been. The

Okay, this will be a bit on a conspiracy theory side, but there was a paper recently describing how to do matrix computations on a RAM stick connected to FPGA, and they've shown it's possible to do it cheaper per flop that GPUs. E

Oh, that smell of molten keyboard plastic, those yellow spots burned into a display with its own heat exhaust, those laser-machined loudspeaker holes next to keyboard, all filled with grime! How I miss that time on a Macbook, with all the c

Oh, it's not a problem, until you're a Kuznetsov-father trying to get on a plane with your Kuznetsova-daughter, and you become a suspect of kidnapping until you don't prove it's actually your daughter. After you get your

I think keeping it unsupported for a couple of years, and reluctantly pushing it off to volunteers who barely have enough technical experience to support it is quite close to "was killed". Until recently Jest had a bug that made i

Until they dump your startup for no reason, and you'll have to migrate off their undocumented proprietary infrastructure. Please read stories on HN. You're risking your business if you work with them.

I should remind that in a similarly cheerful mood FB dumped support of Jest and a bunch of other libraries. They have a long history of killing successful projects. Worse, Vercel is involved, and I literally don't remember anything goo

On top of other criticism here, I'd like to add that the article optimistically assumes that actors are completely honest with their benchmarks when billions of dollars and national security are at stake. I'm only an "expert&

Loved the artstyle, but controls... uhh... let's say they were on par with a bad PC port of Sonic Adventure. I can barely control where I'm going, because the camera just rotates randomly. Something I'll never miss from the o

That's not idealistic, that's how arithmetics work. If you use the same generic thing more times, you have the higher chance of discovering it broken. The fact that you've run into cases means that chance is never zero, and i

If there are errors in implementation of general constructs, they tend to be visible at their every use, and get rapidly fixed. Some general constructs are better than the others, because they have an algebraic theory behind them, and somet

My CPU is at over 5GHz, 1% load and 70C at the moment. That's in a "power-saving mode". If nothing would be wrong, it'd be at something like 1.5GHz with most of the cores unpowered.

Even though this should be the way to go, it still leaves a bitter taste. Remember ESM fiasco? Now we have a few years of that all over again, this time with different versions of TypeScript, settings, and tsgo. Good news!

Probably this wouldn't be a problem if Web was somewhat anonymous, so that merely stumbling upon a security issue, or using website in a regular way would not constitute a crime for the lack of the person to put that crime onto. Also i

Nice to know! I thought about it in terms of cardinalities of types. If A and B are types with |A| and |B| values correspondingly, there are |B|^|A| possible functions A -> B. Another funny thing is that if you consider forall a. (a -&gt

That's because you can consider categories of preorders and formulas where these operators will be morphisms. (b >= c) && (a >= b) -> (a >= c) is a composition. The more interesting consequence is that function type

Actually AI has a lot to do with material design. I can't do a proper explanation, so please bear with this information dump: - We don't have a strong physical theory for solid state physics. Quantum stuff doesn't scale wel

One piece of evidence I have is that most powerful reasoning models can answer at most 10% of my questions on PhD-student level computer science, and are unable to produce correct implementations for basic algorithms, being provided direct
