Not hating the player nor the game. Point was that it's hard to adopt something that one can't be confident will be maintained and supported a year from now.

Looks like one more open source project used to show "external impact" for a PSC.

This guy publishes an article or two every year. Probably part of his PSC at Meta :D

Agreed. I used Jax about a year ago to estimate some diode parameters for a side project of mine.

Not a fair comparison IMO. Jax is low level library used to make ML frameworks while pytorch is a full blow ML framework. In terms of is it worth using it - that depends on what you're doing. If you just want to start with ML training

Nice effort. Would love to see more open source work from tech companies in this space. I remember working on a healthcare product (which involved HL7) years ago and it was a pain. The lack of documentation and any supporting tooling was &q

Purpose of any modern bank is to make money for its shareholders. It does so by taking money on one side and lending it on the other. Lending is inherently a risky business and that risk must be managed. It's unfortunate that in this

I wonder if all the banks in the world consume more energy vs Bitcoin network? What if we didn't have these big institutions that employ hundreds of thousands of people to basically increment and decrement a counter in a computer. Imag

Not sure if this is due to Google "being unhealthy" or overall economy contracting. If the drop / stagnation is due to economy contracting these results are still very good.

I think about these frameworks as products. They are meant to solve specific problem for specific audience. I also think we need to start differentiating between different classes of developers. I think a good analogy is car mechanic vs mec

A lot of concepts first seen in Fortran, or popularized by Fortran are now in other languages or making their way there. In my personal opinion, even if you will never use Fortran professionally or at work I think it's worth learning a

I don't think it's a smart idea to build any serious business using a tech that you can't replace. ChatGPT is great tool to help with coding for example but it's by no means substitute for an engineer. If someone starts

I don't even care if it's reproducible or not. I care it gives me correct responses to my questions and that's all.

I'm confused why people expect this stuff to be free? I'm surprised OpenAI was so open about their research so far. I don't blame them at all for not publishing the information. This stuff costs real money.

I like how the author says "fast" kV store but puts no performance analysis. From looking at the implementation and just making a guess this looks like is a very slow KV store. If you need a fast and performant kV store stick to R

I wondered why C/C++ is not appreciated more by engineers. I hear a lot of comments along the lines "rust is safer". While I get it is safer in some aspects a lot of times I've heard people end up writing unsafe rust any

I feel like it should be illegal to run misconfigured DNS servers too given they can be used to commit crime. Analogous to drugs - it's crime to produce and sell drugs.

I think it's worth pointing out that the reason why these two examples execute at different speed is due to how compiler translated code AND because CPU was able to parallelize work. Compilers take knowledge about target platform (e.g.

Besides Oracle, is there any other cloud provider that I offeres Ampere CPUs?
