This has to be one of the most flash in the pan, 5 minutes of fame company in a long time It's crazy how short it's hype cycle lasted

The point is that Mojo compiles to MLIR for programming on heterogenous compute and GPU so something like Pydantic isn't really comparable here. The alternatives would be stuff like CUDA
63.
by nylonstrung 2mo ago
Do you know CUDA or Triton? The point of Mojo was to replace GPU kernel programming langs with a Pythonic one that was more familiar
64.
by nylonstrung 2mo ago
The premise of Mojo used to be that it was a superset of Python so in theory LLMs would benefit from that but I'm not sure how much divergence there's been

I think it's positive and at the very least it's a force countervailing the push to legislate or ban open models in the US If they were able to make a leading closed model would they be doing it though? It seems like they read the

One thing worth noting is that syntactic density doesn't necessarily mean cheaper because because symbols don't chunk/tokenize as well as plain English What I see from results like this is that the delta between languages is

The problem here is that "mechanical empathy" is for most neurotypical humans at odds with fun. It's hard to say that static typing is "fun" but at this point the benefits are so abundantly obvious that it's be

This is the double edged sword of particularly extensible customizable languages is that they invariably won't produce a robust ecosystem of packages that can compose with each other in the manner of pip/npm/crates

Personally I think expressivity and type system power are what make a language "fun". If languages were video games, the Lisp family and Lean4 feel much more like an open-world game with many ways to play it like Factorio or Minec

I'd argue Rust is one of the most "unfun" languages in terms of syntax but it's offset by the crates ecosystem and cargo toolchain being easily the most pleasant within systems programming No matter if C or C++ was more

Why does anyone owe you a job if someone elsewhere can do it as good or better and more economically. What entitles you to work simply because you are based in the West? Sounds like a skill issue

It's getting hard to find any study posted without a kneejerk "correlation does not equal causation" take as if that's not something researchers have to control for in order to even conduct the study in the first place,

I think offshoring to the Phillipines is extremely net-positive from a purely utilitarian sense I know a lot of Filipinos and essentially 100% of them in white-collar work are using the money to support their extended families. The money ge

This is already common for both HIPAA and financial data, it usually comes down to the offshoring site meeting compliance guidelines and functioning like a "clean room" with data leak prevention in place Also though, I don't

Unrelated to Pi (which is great) can we please stop using LoTR names for companies. The Peter Thiel glazing/cargo culting is pretty cringe at this point

I don't think the no-code comparison is valid, it's always been fundamentally flawed since its many leaky abstractions sitting on top of systems programming code LLMs can't replace developers but its foundationally different

by nylonstrung 2mo ago
I believe in Rust there would be almost no performance hit due to the compiler using monomorphizing everything via the "zero-cost abstraction" we love to brag about
