Speeding up compilation itself is one approach to the latency issue. And there's also the idea of blending compilation and interpretation using e.g. https://github.com/JuliaDebug/JuliaInterpreter.jl .

It is amazing and frustrating to me how much latency affects my productivity. I wish I could more effortlessly switch between tasks, or just meditate and relax while I wait for something I just did on the REPL to finish. But I don't. M

Powers of 2 certainly come up more often, e.g. memory sizes before everything had GBs of RAM.

One key insight of Shannon's is that to study information as he did, you need to remove "meaning". You could measure the information content of anything and it doesn't matter what the symbols mean. Paradoxically, a rando

Thanks, I'm sorry too! "basic respect for human life" and "unions" can have a lot in common, especially in such a country.

I have experienced some shocks from ground loops, where the shock was only perceptible when the current density was small enough. If I placed my whole palm on the conductor, I couldn't feel it, but if I placed just my finger tip on the

How about the electrolytic capacitor of a camera flash circuit? Knowing that they could deliver a nasty shock, I discharged one once by shorting the terminals with a screw driver. The sound of the spark, and the scorch mark left on the PCB

Are you part of a union, and is this recommendation feasible because of "worker's compensation"? I imagine I might not go get checked out if I felt like the risk was low enough and I was worried enough about being able to pay

the value of [mathematical] language is not only communication, but also reasoning. It is remarkable, and sometimes unfortunate, how much mathematical reasoning you can do without knowing what you're doing, by pattern matching. Notatio

I don't think I understand the point you are making. Power = product of two quantities. You have these two quantities in various domains: I and V, F and v, T and O, P and Q, ... The analogizing comes from saying "I is like P and V

When you choose to call one spintronic component a capacitor and another a inductor, you've determined which of the two analogies is the correct one. You could swap the names for the components, and you would swap which analogy is corr

I think it's ridiculous to say "they, the media" here when media in the US is so often blatantly partisan. I don't believe it's difficult to find media that calls out Biden.

What difference does this make, though? Isn't VSCode an Electron app? All of its UI is based on web stuff, anyway!

The early convolution layers could implement a low-pass filter with the appropriate weights. Presumably the learning algorithm would do so if it were beneficial.

Thanks for the correction. I've wanted to see more examples of Clojure Spec in practice because I had really understood it as an interface description language.
325.
by gugagore 6y ago
To me Clojure Spec is more like IDL or a JSON Schema (or CBOR or Protobuf or etc), but with more "dynamic" stuff as opposed to just sum/product types. It doesn't occupy the same space as, say, TLA+.

Both machine code and interpreted scripts are executable, and so they have a formal meaning, at least for a given machine or interpreter. They both feel as "formal" as the other, and much more so than a spec written in e.g. Englis

I prefer to acknowledge that tradeoffs are inherent, and that there is some cost to e.g. replacing "man" with "person", and that the benefit (inclusivity) is worth the cost (breaking "backwards compatibility",

Suppose they had survived and killed someone else. I think the law would find at least one of them to be the driver. That's the notion of driver that is meant by "driver error". e.g. the person who started the car.

So batteries on cars is analogous to cars? I mean, could be. Maybe the EV battery is just like a gasoline tank, but something suggests that there are important differences.
