That's like saying your cloud providers are stealing and looking at all your code. Technically you might be right but it is still somewhat disingenuous. Not to mention all the alternatives are doing MITM anyway. So why single out Cloud

The article explains this: > The default is io_method = worker. We did consider defaulting both to sync or io_uring, but I think worker is the right choice. It’s actually “asynchronous”, and it’s available everywhere (because it’s our im

I actually looked at all the alternatives listed by the author. Here is the problem: none of them are competitive with Cloudflare. With Cloudflare you don't even need to provide a credit card, just setup with your website and it is &qu

TIL that you can run frontend Javascript with a package like Deno. I thought you need a proper headless browser for it.

You could only say that if the IP address list was given by the court to the ISPs.

That is wild. Which other country gives a private body the power to ban any IP address for the entire country?

Why are you verbosely repeating my own replies? You asked why, I told you a theory that MAYBE because they were trained on Python code. You do know that's how a LLM or even a simple neural network works right? Of course it is an over-s

by nromiun 1y ago
Maybe it was because LLMs were trained most on Python code, but yes they seem to prefer it.

Anything short of a big AI winter is not going to move Python from its top spot. As Python has become the first choice of output code for LLMs its dominance is only going to grow.

Ironic considering that we are talking about Western sanctions.

Sure. Still does not justify what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Sorry to have to say this, but you don't have the authority to define what is and what is not constructive feedback. Polite, well written blogs like this are accepted by all people as constructive feedback.

When the inside channels set up by the project gaslight people into thinking there is no problem at all I think it is more appropriate to use blogs, where you have complete freedom to say what you want. Also, blogs have been used since fore

Maybe for some people. But most people are not jerks and you can absolutely limit yourself to dealing with them only.

by nromiun 1y ago
Why is this counter-productive and self promotion? Does that mean we should all stop writing programming related blog posts? And move all the discussions into GitHub issues only?

Just because a popular project leader is a jerk does not mean the way to success is to be a jerk too.

They do not. The CPUs are only there to support and push data to the GPUs. Much like Nvidia GH200 systems. Nobody buys these APU chips for their CPU parts. For comparison there are 9,988,224 GPU compute units in El Capitan and only 1,051,39

There is a reason all the big supercomputers have started using GPUs in the last decade. They are much more efficient. If you want 32bit parallel performance just buy some consumer GPUs and hook them up. If you need 64bit buy some prosumer

Unnecessary? Maybe if more people had commented on JS devs tendency to include every 3 line micro packages in existence we would not be in this situation. Every ecosystem has this problem but NPM is the undisputed leader if you count all a

by nromiun 1y ago
Not to the same extent as NPM. Because Python has a good standard library and library authors are not deathly afraid of code duplication like JS devs, for example micro libraries like left-pad, is-even etc.

What? When did that go away? What is the alternative?

There is a big difference between a firewall on a private network and another on an entire country's traffic.
84.
by nromiun 1y ago
AFAIK QUIC traffic is impossible to attack using MITM techniques. So I wonder how the GFW handles it. Do they block it entirely or still filter it somehow?

I have nothing to do with this but still I am getting second hand embarrassment. Here is an example, is-arrayish package, 73.8 MILLION downloads per week. The code? 3 lines to check if an object can be used like an array. I am sorry, but th

Have you tried to write a kernel for basic matrix multiplication? Because I have and I can assure you it is very hard to get 50% of maximum FLOPs, let alone 90%. It is nothing like CPUs where you write a * b in C and get 99% of the performa

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. This is 100% true. It's not like you can take any random data and train it into a NN. You have to transform the data, you have to write the low level GPU kernels which will actually run

I was also too careless with AWS when I was a beginner with no deployment experience and I am very lucky that I did not push a wrong button. All these stories of bill forgiveness reminds me of survivorship bias. Does this happens to everyon
