Even better if people bought ebikes. It is galling that rich people get a $7500 credit to buy a $50-100k luxury bauble, while there are no incentives for ebikes.

Detroit diesel two strokes were entirely mechanical. As were cummins engines like b5.9 with a bosch p-pump. In fact all diesel engines have fuel injection, and they were all mechanical up to the 80s/90s.

When you get to relational models, the amount of UI you can quickly build around the django admin is staggering... if you stay in the guardrails.

CAD Software. There is CAD vs CAD esports. https://www.youtube.com/live/C1CqIcfDKbQ?t=1987s It seems dominated by solidworks but other programs (NX, Fusion 360...?) are allowed. The bloomberg terminal UI. Some emacs

Thanks, I'm starting to understand. So Display Postscript was useful because it let you know that what you put on the screen as a programmer would be what's printed? And it allowed for cool graphics effects like custom strokes and

The best functional specs for a UI have come from business people building their own in excel. At a minimum they will have some idea of layout and what information should be displayed on which screens. This also lets them focus on the core

What made display postscript so great? I have only seen it mentioned in frothy marketing terms, not an in depth discussion of its approach, why it worked well, and how that compares to other alternatives.

which implementation of `std()` did you go with? I was writing unit tests once against histograms. That code is super finnicky, and I couldn't get pandas and polars numbers to tie out. I wasn't super concerned with the exact outp

I was just commenting that I had glossed over that in multiple readings about different typing systems. The parent of my original comment explained it nicely. I know that dependent type is the term of art, and you should probably keep it. Y

That makes sense for writing your own generic libraries. Do you frequently have to convert from pytorch to numpy? I would think that a for a given execution unit (pipeline step, single program, model running on a server) that the data will

What is the return type of an overloaded function? I don't see that in any of the examples. I think it would make sense to have each function return either the exact same type, or a generic. @ovld(int) #all of these overloads shoul

Value based dispatch is a much better name for it then Dependent Types. I have seen the term dependent types and just glossed over it because I thought it was a more complex topic.

This looks really cool. I get multiple dispatch, multi methods, and CLOS method specialization confused in my head. I can understand what this does... But when do you use it. Can people list some times when they actually used multimethods t

I hope some typechecker starts doing serious supported notebook integration. And integration for live coding, not just a batch script to statically check your notebook. Finding errors with typing before running a 1-60 minute cell is a huge

Sometimes you want a specific limited subset of the parent language, especially when you don't want to expose a huge possibility space to non technical users. Exposing only a limited subset can also be helpful to sandbox for security r

Russia is importing shells from North Korea. Transformers are more complex than you give them credit for, and Russia has a very limited ability to manufacture anything, it would make a difference.

Crippling the Russian train system would be very much worth it. Russia would have to switch to limited diesel locomotives, and it would really hurt regular civilian logistics in those areas.

Trent and a lot of Ukranian war commentators have a habit of saying $X is catastrophic for the Russians (this is the worst on YouTube). Then those catastrophic things don't come to pass. Related, I have seen one guy, over and over say

Specifically "Hands On ML 3", or just generally a copy of some exercise set from a class?

Another fun note about Russian logistics, they aren't palletized or mechanized. Thought being that cranes don't look good in parades. The train side seems smart or at least interesting, the pallets incredibly dumb. https:/&#

Thank you. The Buckaroo lowcode UI is capable of working with Polars, but I don't currently have any commands plumbed in. I will work on that. I'm aware of Data Wrangler and they did nice work, but it's closed source and fro

re:version control How stable are node and edge IDs and their ordering? Could you sort the JSON before saving so the output is more stable and diff-able? Another thought is, how would you code up a flow like this in your preferred language

This is related to visual programming, not flow based programming. I modified a python hosted lisp interpreter to read JSON flavored lisp - JLISP. It's much easier to get a web frontend to output JSON then lisp. Then I made a simple L

Nice work! A couple of comments 1. You don't explain what flow based programming is or when it should be used. It looks like it represents some type of data pipeline, but I'm not sure. 2. Who is this repo for? PL enthusiasts, too

Ezra Klein talks about everything bagel liberalism where the left tries to layer every cause (diversity, unions, low income housing) onto a core good idea like building more housing or transit infrastructure. It gets in the way of the goal.
