We have yet to see Mojo do any "sufficiently smart compiler" optimizations that Julia or similar languages don't already do. The Mojo code in the blog post does the same ugly optimizations to get good SIMD as the Julia code.

There are a few cases where it's easier to get LLVM to generate certain code I imagine. Semantic things like aliasing, in lining, and type information. In general though it's just a question of which hoops you have to jump through

XLA.jl is essentially abandoned, no funding IIRC. Coil.jl and maybe some future hypothetical work on MLIR.jl could bridge the gap pretty easily.

It's fairly easy, if not super user friendly, to opt out of the Julia-vendored binaries though. If you've ever tried to install CUDA related packages from a poorly configured Python environment you'll have encountered this is

You often need the indices for other operations (indexing into other arrays). CSC it's transpose CSR, and the doubly compressed forms DCSC/DCSR, are optimized for linear algebra for the most part.

Sparse matrix codes can be and often are much faster than their CPU counterparts. At least for the most common kernels

In this specific case, though, there was a chance for a rescue. Atlantis was being prepared for launch and could have been ready with a 5-day overlap. Whether or not that was presented to the public is another thing.

Julia has great notebook support, the Ju in Jupyter stands for Julia after all. There's also the fantastic Pluto.jl for reactive notebooks. And the VSCode extension isn't quite IDE level, but that's just a matter of resources

Julia has a package that does this fairly elegantly (not perfect of course, but you can wrap on top of this) https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl .

DGL is the other big one, it supports several frameworks (at least PyTorch and MXNet).

The manufacturers no doubt. Musk, and by extension Tesla, has been seriously focused on ease of manufacturing. Probably since the huge problems Tesla faced in the late 2010s.

I'm not convinced you want air breathing missiles for interception, you want solid rockets or something of that sort. There are Standard Missiles (SM-3) faster than Zircon, although they are for BMD defense. Faster ESSM/SM-2/

The Standard-Missile family from the US can all go faster than Mach 2.5. But land attack missiles have never needed to be particularly fast until recently.

No, but they have been identified as a "nuclear latent state", in that they possess the capabilities to create one. How long that latency is I'm sure no one really knows.

by patagurbon 5y ago
While I could see this happening in a smaller state, the big 5 states likely have pretty good institutions built around nuclear weapons. Accidents might happen, but I doubt a single lunatic in those places + India and Israel could do much a

I used to like Johnny Harris quite a bit, but when your research is Wikipedia deep, and your method of convincing people is to make incredulous faces I start to lose interest. All of SpaceX's satellites are in low Earth orbit, and will

North Korea is nowhere close to the major issue there.

Essentially, but now they have Intel nodes to sell as well. It's a fairly reasonable plan, and I doubt Intel will stay behind TSMC node-wise forever.

Hardly. We have serious problems with climate change that need to be addressed, and serious problems degrading the environment of other species. But outside of the most extreme nuclear winters we cannot make the planet inhospitable to lif

Where do you recommend an experienced Julia user start working on internals/core tools?

Should that issue be closed then?

Also long descriptions of features that seem absolutely standard. Most of it read like an introduction to modern editors/IDE-lites.

That seems... High? Does every, or even most people in the US buy non-grocery items every week? AFAIK most food is domestic, and I imagine most if not all the packaging for that is domestic as well. Sure if you buy semi-durable items: clo

It's a kind of plasticky paper. It's got QR codes on it and little circles at the bottom so you can save each scan to different places. The paper is a little slick to pass for real pen and paper writing experience, but it's

I concur, excellent show and much "harder" then The Expanse. Some people have an aversion to anime but it transcends that in my opinion.

All the artifacts should be installed to the .Julia folder IIRC. At least I've never seen anything outside that. Seems quite easy to clean up.

But you have to save lots of undesirable info in order to maintain the reversibility right? Once you delete that don't you lose the efficiency gains?

Some of the "problems" people have aren't solvable. There are people who are just racist or sexist etc. There are certainly a lot of problems these groups have which we can and should solve: poverty, drug addiction, lack of
