> The official line from /r/haskell is “all optimization is the root of all evil”. That claim doesn't match my experience at all. Can you give some examples of that attitude being demonstrated on /r/haskell?

Thank you for your efforts. I have to say I'm quite confused about exactly what is in dispute.

OK, so there is enough value in the company to pay the banks and PE firms lavishly and exorbitantly, but not enough to pay all their debts. So which debts can they not pay?
695.
by tome 3y ago
"Bankrupt" by definition means unable to pay one's debts, doesn't it? Perhaps there's another definition I am unaware of, so that may have been an invalid assumption on my part. But if that wasn't gumby'

Right, but in both cases you have to pay out of retained earnings. You can't "pay out using borrowed money"! You can borrow to get more cash on hand, and then pay out, but that's not the same thing: dividends are never

> Again, who said banks would go bankrupt? This is the first time in the thread that "banks going bankrupt" has been mentioned by anyone.

Thanks, yes, that's a good summary. I think if the original claim was that the PE business model is pathological and parasitic because it is (economic) value-destroying then the claim must be false. Other financial stakeholders would

Do you mean you would need to see proof that the observation is correct before you can link evidence that it's incorrect? If so that seems somewhat difficult to achieve.

If you tell me what + should do then maybe I can help. Does it broadcast to the higher-dimensional of the two arguments?
702.
by tome 3y ago
Thanks for the reassuring words. Can you point to an explanation you find convincing?
703.
by tome 3y ago
Somehow I haven't been able to find an explanation that I find convincing.
704.
by tome 3y ago
That's just begging the question. Why are the "others" buying?
705.
by tome 3y ago
You're completely right that it does not add up. PE detractors really need to be able to explain how this observation fits in with their analysis.

Interesting. To me there's a very strong difference between destroying and not destroying a hospital.
708.
by tome 3y ago
No one's provided evidence for the "destroyed hospital" that jcranmer claimed a "coterie of journalists" were invited to.

Al Shifa hospital has not been destroyed, nor has any hospital in Gaza, as far as I am aware.

If the discussion here is indicative then it's very clear in which direction the tech world is biased on this issue.

by tome 3y ago
Sorry, which hospital are you referring to?

How about in future, when someone asks you "which was your favorite" you instead answer one of the questions in the article? It's highly unlikely people literally want to know which was your favourite. More likely they&#x

To be honest I think you were the one originally off base here. If someone doesn't answer the question to your satisfaction then it would be more effective for you to rephrase the question rather than telling that person that they ans

I'm not an expert on the system architecture side of things. Maybe a Groqster who is can chime in. But the way I understand it is that you can't improve latency just by scaling, whereas you can improve throughput just by scaling,

I'll do it if you promise to say "wow!" :D

Our language processors have much lower latency and higher throughput than graphics processors so we have a massive advantage when it comes to inference. For language models particularly, time to first token is hugely important (and will p
