To know what something is about, a natural way is to do it yourself.

This topic has somewhat recently acquired a connotation where it yields a polarized response. People seem "tired" of the language and the episodes like Bun rewrite don't help, especially in current LLM-obsessed era. Amidst th

No. The file uses same extension as Jonathan Blow's Jai which is actually a language GitHub supports.

If you can bear his idiosyncrasies, Tsoding did a stream on it recently. It was pretty cool. https://youtu.be/4vcA7yJMoPg

I have similar thoughts. To those who feel on the contrary, I would genuinely like to understand why average consumer won't be priced out of hardware? The silicon industry is already quite centralised. Everywhere we already see the con

I would also like to know this. Fortran itself is column-major, so I would guess the internal layout isn't same for multi-dimensional arrays when compared to row-major C? I'm not sure how LFortran represents arrays internally thou

I'm not sure if I would ditch Zotero. Using grep over a bib file is nice but I guess you are opening the DOIs in browser every time? The reason I like Zotero is because I can use it offline, have my all documents synced (the backup fea

Your understanding of what means value to this world is deeply pitiable.

I'm sorry but this is not a good enough argument for gutting science. You need to justify that capacity and coverage increase is required. The companies trying to make these plans are just looking for money. It's not for some nobl

Yes, I can do most of the things now because enough is already up there. Can you elaborate why do you want more? Like a million more as these companies are planning? When is it enough?

Can you define what progress is being made by creating more space junk?

by kmaitreys 3mo ago
Sure but it doesn't we can replace ground-based oned with space telescopes. They don't make the same class of observations

Is this thread being astroturfed by bots from big tech? Some absolutely obtuse comments.
15.
by kmaitreys 3mo ago
That's an insane take. Do you actually understand what is being argued? It's an threat to ground based telescopes in the name of more slop-generating infrastructure.
16.
by kmaitreys 3mo ago
The issue at hand is with the ground based telescopes. We need both ground-based and space-based telescopes because with ground based telescopes you can create arrays and interferometers enabling a much larger baseline (in layman terms this

What advancement is being made exactly? SpaceX data centres to create more AI slop?
18.
by kmaitreys 3mo ago
What exactly is the implication of saying this? This is not about over-regulation at all.
19.
by kmaitreys 3mo ago
What about ground based telescopes and interferometers which enable observations with much much larger baseline? Space-based and ground-based telescopes are complementary to each other. You can't replace one out for the other.

It depends on the kind of people. Most normal people don't do that, it's not a reddit-like platform after all. But most researchers and grad students (like me) often subscribe to daily mailing list of the papers dropping that day

For something more rigorous, I would like to take this opportunity to share rebound[1], something we use for n-body simulations in our field (planet formation). Perhaps few people here are already familiar with it. It has a Python interface

I have never understood this way of approaching programming. I feel the best way to learn a language is solving a problem you have in that language. Figure out an actual real problem you have which you can solve with programming and just im

by kmaitreys 4mo ago
Why do people still view languages as an investment? If you know programming then it's just a different syntax. Focus on learning programming.

It means that you are impressed by mediocrity. cf: https://nitter.net/mitchellh/status/2060088112257372610#m

If you're impressed by something which was done by AI, then you're not qualified enough to judge it.
26.
by kmaitreys 4mo ago
Probably some tokenmaxxing competition between the employees. The whole company seems under some kind of AI psychosis.

I hope you don't do science because this is how reputation get tainted.

How do you develop a program which will run for longer duration on HPCs. How do you quickly modify struct definitations, how do you define imports (using vs include syntax is so confusing!) REPL-based workflow doesn't make sense to me

A lot of people have focussed on the LSP in their replies when it is was only one of the problems I mentioned. rust-analyzer is a great LSP and paired with clippy it can teach you the language itself. Also, writing numerical code is extreme
