As an AMD user, I have to say that it's nowhere near nvidia for ML. Basically ALL ML tooling is written with CUDA as a target, and while ROCm promises some level of compatibility, it's a buggy mess that crashes with most models out there.

If OpenCL took off as the standard, any GPU would be able to do everything just fine, but unfortunately industry always takes the "worse is better" approach to everything.

And why would anyone care about what a CEO says?

Only chromium support, though. Pass.

Like politics.

And like politics, it's a bunch of made up shit, that when believed by an entire society, will determine how, and whether, you can or cannot live in it.

Humans are defined by making shit up and then believing it.

> and is faster.

After a very long warmup time, which may make one-shot applications much slower.

Ironic that the last slide asks me to subscribe to a newsletter with my Google account.

JIT is a compilation model for interpreted languages, which translates bytecode into machine code in runtime to obtain better performance. The opposite of JIT is AOT (Ahead of Time). JIT languages go through two compilation steps: one to bytecode, and another to native code in runtime. Java is one example of a JIT compiled interpreted language, that also does ahead of time compilation to bytecode, while python compiles to bytecode transparently, but does not do any JIT compilation to native, which is part of the reason it's considered a "slow language" (though this expression doesn't really make any sense, as slowness is a property of the implementation, not of the language).

TLDR:

Java uses AOT bytecode compilation + JIT compilation

Python uses import-time bytecode compilation + slow interpreter

I was actually surprised when I found out they made a web framework in "the RPG Maker XP language".

There is always one obvious way to do things in Python, but it happens that what's obvious varies from person to person.

You started using Javascript after they fixed it with ES6. When I started working with Python, I had just left a NodeJS project in ES5 callback + prototype hell and didn't want to get anywhere near Javascript until they added proper scoping rules and classes.

The main antipattern involved in this post is Go.

Rob Pike's messed up ideology made people think abstraction is bad.

NAND gates allow people who can't build transistors from self-mined ores to build CPUs.

"without using ORMs"

Machines will never be zero cost.

And AGI is probably unachievable anyways.

The whole point of explicit unsafe rust is making this type of thing have to be written on purpose. You can't accidentally write unsafe code. And in case you accidentally write unsound code in your explicit unsafe code, you know exactly where to look.

For this use case it would be better to put the data in a shared SQLite database than relying on multiprocessing CoW.

Even accessing objects from the shared memory would cause the reference counter to increment and the data would be copied, causing a memory usage explosion.

The article is basically saying that a non-gnu Linux distribution, like Alpine, is less linux than ChromeOS, just because it uses GNU.

And while being pedantic about this, they still called Linux a Unix (which it's not) while ignoring the commercial unixes because they're dead (which, as much as I'd like it to be true, it's not in the case of MacOS).

The person who wrote this article was dishonest or ignorant in so many levels.

That while including Linux in the list, which is not a Unix.
