The go 1.0 compatibility promise is the sort of minimal guarantee that meets the cost and risk requirements for long term software maintenance. The model here isn't something being actively maintained but some 100k utility that has bee

My company would pay for 2.8. And a lot of internal teams that used Python 2 now use go for that. Not ML but devops/infra orchestration. Python 3 made no sense from a cost/risk perspective for teams with a lot working and mostly f

I think I am much happier to redo my personal scripts to stay at bleeding edge than to rewrite old code at work to stay in supported versions. For corporations wanton breaking changes means code that is working and has some non-zero risk t

I do think not being able to use 32 cores easily is a gap in the current language. In 2017 I rewrote a fairly high performance python dialog to Kafka daemon in Go. The python version require a lot of specialized knowledge to write, using ge

I meant more like this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7272078/ Like it breaks down at an exponentially increasing rate. Hard to keep up with that.

There is no side of letting illegal aliens vote. WTF? Although I did once live in a town where anyone over 16, citizen or not, could vote in the city non-partisan elections. The idea was local government needs all the involvement it could g

Not really. Everyone is paying monthly anyways it can just be a part of that or a surcharge on top. And I don't envision this being a mastodon thing but a "serious writing/news/art" kind of thing. Alteady there is a

Science is woke (global warming is real; LBGT is natural; the variance between groups is swamped by variance within groups whether that be racial or gender; coal is stupid; gun violence is mostly accidents and suicides; etc etc). One of the

Probably Java. This is not a memory vulnerability but a protocol vulnerability.

I totally agree this payment pattern would work. I think the technical implementation is pretty straightforward but getting enough writers and artists to join would be difficult.

I didn't read TFA but was there a way to find the migrated bots? honestly, for some quirky reason, the bots are a big chunk of my enjoyment of social media (from Opposum's every hour to randomly generated 3 body simulations of su

Some sort of Hamming distance in Lean proofs perhaps? Seems unlikely to capture the difference in what a person would say are different proofs tho. And even when people say a proof is different from another one there is usually some notion

In the US "people with smart phone" is larger than "people with a computer." The real people being left behind are "people without email". I have a neighbor in this state and we occasionally have to make a temp

Language models would seem to be exquisitely tied to the way that evolved intelligence has formulated its society and training. An Ab Initio AGI would maybe be free of our legacy, but LLMs certainly are not. I would expect a ship-like intel

Like what is magic - it turns out to be the ability to go from interior thoughts to stuff happening in the shared world - physics is just the mechanism of the particular magical system we have.

Having read Let over Lambda, I would say I find Javascript to be (a superset of?) a lispy language. If functional values with lexical binding are supported, then you get all the power of The Little Lisper. Perhaps the macro facilities are

Public health also studies the most effective communication strategies for sharing public health info even in the face of uncertainty. I bet they will be more explicit about uncertainty next time based on the last time, but that is why they

I saw one study of relative death rates that concluded if all US has followed California standards, about 800,000 fewer people would have died. And remember "flatten the curve"? The goal isn't to stop everyone getting the vi

My zookeeper outages are always due to simple things like all the workers having the same basic image and then having increased write rate filling up the disk of all workers at the same time.
