This looks like a great resource! Differentiable programming is such a cool area. I'll never forget writing a differentiable PID controller a few years ago and watching the PID gains get tuned automagically to stabilize the control sys

It's interesting to compare these opinions with those of the Google Security team that were released a little over a week ago [1]. Key quotes from the Google paper: > We see no realistic path for an evolution of C++ into a language

Interesting, but the intent seems similar to Chris Lattner's new Mojo language which arguably has similar characteristics and is further along in its development. https://docs.modular.com/mojo/

Being from El Paso, I'd argue for calling this a Tex-Mexiflexagon :) Looks delicious! I'm looking forward to trying this sometime.

LilyPond is surprisingly good at producing high quality scores. I was surprised to learn recently that many people export from other music editors (e.g., Musescore) to LilyPond to compile the final output.

Great post, but I think the author missed a few advantages of Mojo: * Mojo provides first-class support for AoT compilation of standalone binaries [1]. Julia provides second-class support at best. * Mojo aims to provide first-class support

True, these are all fair points! I didn't intend to diminish the impact or complexity of linear programming solvers. Well-written solvers are some of the most useful and powerful computational tools that exist today.

Minor nitpick, but the title of this submission should specify "Integer Linear Programming", since the integer part is a much bigger deal. Polynomial time algorithms have been known for linear programming for decades; _integer_ li

If you're learning about PID controllers, do yourself a favor and watch Brian Douglas's video series on the topic: https://youtu.be/wkfEZmsQqiA?si=50WWz4kuber56JIU Brian has great videos on other control theory to

It's fascinating how phones have come full circle. One of my first cell phones had a full QWERTY keyboard with physical keys that was exposed when you slid the top face of the phone sideways. Many phones in that era had similar full ke

I received the same email. My assumption is that all of the GPTs in the store will still require a paid ChatGPT plus plan to access, but I have no way to confirm this. Does anyone have a source verifying whether this will be the case?

I strongly disagree that calculus isn't useful. Without calculus we would not have self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, safe and stable aircraft, spacecraft, or many other modern technologies we enjoy today.

For historical reasons I'm typically skeptical of claims that "TTFX" have improved. However, I just tried out Julia 1.10 and it is noticeably quicker than the last version I was using (1.8). It takes some time to precompile p

Although I mostly agree with this sentiment and have deep concerns about Julia's flaws, I will say that Julia has a very high ceiling. If the right concerns were addressed in a timely manner, I wouldn't be surprised to see its ado

It should be fairly clear from studying the structure of Julia that it was never meant to be simply a better Python. Mojo also owes part of its design from the lessons it took from Julia (as per Chris Lattner [1]). [1]: https://n

On your last point, as long as you jit the topmost level, it doesn't matter whether or not you have inner jitted functions. The end result should be the same. Source: https://github.com/google/jax/discussions&

Nice! This is a positive trend. Great to see some additional options for compiling Julia code.

AoT compiled binaries and libraries are fundamental building blocks for distributing software and running it quickly without latency. Julia itself calls AoT binaries, for example when calling Linear Algebra functions [1]. Chris Rackauckas&#

I like the Julia language. I've used Julia for some of my published academic papers. It represents an important step towards solving the two-language problem. But it does not solve the two-language problem. Until Julia provides first-c
