I wasn’t expecting to personally know two of the authors, but having Accelerate included makes sense.

After reading through the relevant threads, I'm completely on the side of the LLVM CoC committee, this user is just wasting their time. Asking for minimal steps to reproduce an issue is the bare minimum for report issues on open source

The Mesa project example( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13022 ) is even more deranged - I came to this story from someone on Mastodon recommending people proactively ban this person fro

This would have me astroturfing it out the window after seeing this nonsense. The output in their Mesa project bug report is outright misinformation, it sounds completely plausible but is absolute nonsense. This is the true danger of AI, it

Thats absolutely not what they asked for, no one was able to reproduce the issue, so they asked for clearer instructions on how to reproduce the issue and were met with hostility. It's not the job of OSS developers to debug someone els

Notably, Apple joined the seL4 foundation, as they use it in several of their products: https://sel4.systems/Foundation/Membership/ (Not sure if they've stated publicly which, but it's been pretty well k

The video side of things is super interesting - 4k60 ProRes is an absolutely insane amount of data (something like 12GB/s IIRC?), and the addition of ACES really makes it usable for professional work where a larger mirrorless from Sony

This isn't really new for Apple, they've been doing as much AI stuff on device as possible, there isn't really any change with the A16 as far as I'm aware, just more bigger.

Siri is nowhere near Apple quality standards as it is. had a fun experience with Siri the other day where I ended up sending someone the message "I'm just leaving now what the fuck are you doing", because it heard me, and sho

The only thing worse than Apple fanboys is anti-Apple fanboys projecting. No one is going to claim this. The fact the Pro gets 10Gbit USB 3 _is_ interesting (particularly for anyone using the phone for video), but certainly not revolutionar

They used to sell the case, and each airpod separately (with the total for all three being the same as a new pair), but it looks like they stopped? It was very useful when I ran over my airpods case with my LandCruiser, and it got a bit won

That sounds highly unlikely, the one that came with my MBP supports everything up to Thunderbolt. But USB is ridiculously complicated, and sometimes better cables fail on shitty devices; I've seen it a few times with camera equipment w

Paul, are you actually for real right now? Did you really just say "We deleted all your data, and its your fault. We did whisper into the wind three times, you should have heard it. No, there is no chance of recovery"? You might h

What future customers? After seeing this astoundingly terrible behaviour for a company with "DB" in their main product's name, I can't imagine anyone ever making the decision to trust InfluxData again. I know I certainly

Am I going crazy, or has the obvious implementation of such a change been missed on people? If they were proposing taking a multi-threaded app and splitting it into a multi-process one, I would predict they would find a hell of a lot of une

That's not really the point, no one is claiming this is supposed to be for general purpose workloads. If you know you need this sort of relatively small, super low latency cache, then this is a great solution, but those usecases are ve

The article has everything to with an FPGA accelerated NIC connected service though. Did you perhaps misunderstand what's going on? Because your comments make it sound like you've missed the point.

I think you could definitely get into a loop where you have two values chasing each other around, offset by some number of cycles, where all their positions are full, and they keep evicting each other when they get to the array where they h

Put simply: No. The native code generator for aarch64 is relatively new, and is bound to have bugs in it that haven't been caught, as others have mentioned, because no one thought to test for this specific thing. There's already a

I have to disagree with vm this, Haskell is by far the most powerful imperative language I’ve used, because it allows me to abstract what I mean by imperative programming. I don’t have time to go into details but nearly every statement you’

On the contrary, when you can move your complexity into the type system, the. You have just taught your compiler how to check that you are using things correctly, and that is insanely useful in large scale software.

This argument is literally “the documentation for this domain I don’t understand is bad because I refuse to learn the domain”. I use the lens library all the time and those docs make perfect sense, particularly if you apply just the teensie

by axman6 4y ago
I couldn’t agree with this opinion less - lens is incredibly elegant, and very consistent. It is a DSL, and you need to spend some time learning the domain, but once you do you’ll find it hard to live without it. If that’s the way you use t

I’m sorry, but this is an astoundingly ridiculous point of view. Those type variables CAN’T be named anything better because they could be absolutely anything at all, that’s the point of generic types. You are complaining that a single func

Stick any structure in DynamoDB and you’ve already halved your nesting depth due to its encoding a superset off JSON in JSON. Then start encoding more complex structures like the ones the others have mentioned and these limitations start to

As a side note, the Haskell implementation also supports numbers of arbitrary size, again limited by memory, for both parsing and encoding.
