One of the big learnings from 3.8 27b is adding reasoning budget really hurts the model. you need to let it spin for as many thinking tokens as it wants to to get it out. Another big takeaway is reasoning effort set to low doesn't sa

Pragmatically, cost and ease of access is especially important in suppressed countries or ones with unstable infrastructure. While the devices you're talking about has lots of conveniences, distribution and price dominate in lower inc

Phoronix paints a very different picture, especially in non-synthetic workloads[1]. Gravitron2 looks like a nice speedup over the first generation but either the optimization isn't there yet or there are areas which need additional wo

Implicit is basically just an implementation detail. The idea of only allowing one typeclass instance per data is generally referred as confluence and you're correct in that scala doesn't attempt to enforce it. I understand the H

Clearly a chatroom with half a million individuals is unusable from pretty much every perspective. That said, a chat server with N chatrooms and a total population of 500k users sounds like a good day on IRC and well within the realm of wh

That's not really true. Erlang's VM is fantastic at GC with thousands upon thousands of green processes multiplexed onto the system threads, allowing soft realtime performance. Similarly, Haskell's Parallel Strategies libra

It's a huge issue on mobile. Multiple rendering engines requiring the world to write software to a spec is what prevents people from writing code dependent on a particular browser or, in this case, a rendering engine. You see it all

It's amazing how fast you can go when you don't care about safety ;) That said, for all non trivial work loads, the latest postgres is quite the work horse, but of course requires some tuning for performance. We ended up switch t

Two good examples from the Scala community would be Algebird[1] from Twitter which uses Monoids as a main abstraction and Spire[2], which might be the best numerical library out there and heavily rooted in Abstract Algebra. 1. https:/

Ah, but that's a matter of design - except now we have strong constructs from which to consider our problem. We will never get away from developing the architecture of our system, which is cost dependent on how well understood the dom

An important realization I made a while back was that design methodologies do little to address program correctness, which is almost always the wildcard on deliverables; buggy software means missed deadlines and budget. Some, such as TDD,

I think modern software engineering really needs to start banking on provable languages with strong type systems. Instead of hoping and testing with Monte Carlo sims, let's prove an algorithm once as correct and move on from there.

You could, you know, pay for a subscription. If you're bumping up on the limit of free articles per month, you're clearly getting some value from the paper. There are worse things than supporting good journalism!

Most of the negatives are heavily focused on implementation rather than design, which I don't disagree with. However, the positives of targeting any language at a stable byte code is incredibly valuable... such as an implementation of

Let's make no mistake about it: Javascript has been a multi-billion dollar focus by several top-tier engineering companies for almost two decades. It's more accurate to say that Javascript has succeeded despite its limitations. T

Perhaps it's simply personal preference, but I do find that limiting my mouse usage has resulted in real, tangible gains. I don't know how feasible that is in GUI-first operating systems like OS X, though.

I would argue this is a new language which just happens to compile to go.
