I think gamification is a reflection of the whole edutainment push in the mid nineties which puts a leaderboard on the whole, "collect all the gold stars" that was popular in the mid 80s.

I'd love to see textual preprocessors kinda banned. Or at least done upstream and outside of the language. You can't both be <the language> and also have a textual preprocessor defined internally. It doesn't work. I rea

Preprocessors make language parsers cry.

I would also wrap the whole TEC stack with Aerogel so heat doesn't leak around the edges. Heatpipes are amazing.

Many CCD cameras used for astronomy use a TEC stack to cool the sensor. Separating the cold and the hot side is paramount. Haven't used it in space, but I'd probably use a vapor phase heat pipe to move the heat as far away as poss

You could run the whole thing in Wasm and have Palm apps running everywhere. It would be like how people are running DOS apps in webpages non ironically

We are seeing a transformation where AI papers have a website that has code/paper/video and high level explainer. The paper is now subservient to the rest of the body of work. The one that I don't like is many venues have a 1

Thank you! :)

I wanted to be an astronaut, animator, inventor, back to stop motion and time lapse animation and then physicist. I can't be an astronaut, but those other things are still achievable.

I have seen 150 lines of SQL replaced with 12k lines of Java.

Yeah, but that is error prone and more complex. A compiler can make those same transformations. I'd argue that the properly lazy programmer is the one using recursion. To get even lazier, one should move into relational algebra.

Technically they did.

Recursion is like an inductive proof, you can show it is correct and it normally fits on half of a small screen.

That is a good list, many of these can also be applied to Rust because it has many of the same affordances in its build and supply chain ecosystem. I thought maybe there was module level capabilities in .net, I don't follow it at all b

Then effectively your non-browser container is a browser subset just for your application. You could run a browser and record all the page faults, then remove all the code you didn't run. https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2

They would need to use the AGPL if they want folks that self-host to release their changes.

This is the pain of losing trust and getting taken advantage of by someone that is close to you.

MMLU is not a good benchmark and needs to stop being used. I can't find the section, but at the end of one of https://www.youtube.com/@aiexplained-official/videos he runs down a deep dive of the questions and answ

Goldman Sachs is such a wonderful model of what is possible via Capitalism. I think they are holding on what they really could achieve with a little will.

by nerpderp82 3y ago
Ideally it would be a private equity, so they would be immune from reporting obligations.

Goldman Sachs should buy them out.

They aren't just trying to bring up an analogous example. It derails the discussion, it is a rhetorical device that has no bearing on the conversation at hand. > Regardless, I think it's a bit alarmist and overly aggressive t

I didn't mention C++ at all. Was that my argument? This thread is about Python, the GIL. Mojo was brought up as a way to speed up Python code. C++ predates on C in a similar way to how Mojo predates on Python. At least C++ has extern C
