What a sh*tshow. When I look up a programming language on Wikipedia I am trying to learn about the programming language only. What does the political views of the creator of the language has to do with this at all?

Nothing happened to the people, they are growing year on year. But languages can die very easily if governments don't put efforts on teaching it to children. That is exactly what happened to the Ho language. There is no advantage on learning these small regional languages so children put their effort on more popular languages like Hindi, Odia and English.
Apple stock is down more than 4% right now. That is a big dump for such a blue chip stock. IDK if it is due to this EU ban or Apple choice of going with Gemini (instead of making their own models).
> Is 1.1 Tflop/s good? Theoretically, the GPU on my M3 Max is capable of around 15 Tflop/s. But the real ceiling for this kind of task is going to be 3-5 Tflop/s
This is so true. And also why people should not take basic GPU benchmarks so seriously. Getting peak performance out of a GPU is much more complex than it is with a CPU.
And it is one of the reasons why Nvidia still has a software moat compared to other GPU companies. CUDA has so many small kernels tuned for getting peak performance for your dataset.
It is an inherent limitation. Multithreading is not free after all. One of the big pros of async programming is the concurrency you get within a single thread. When you make the async runtime multithreaded by default (like Tokio) you don't get this advantage anymore.
Async in Rust and C++ is nothing like it is in Python or NodeJS. Choose your own runtime is a very different model than having a default one.
Not to mention Tokio (most popular runtime for Rust) is multi-threaded by default. So you have to deal with multithreading bugs as well as normal async ones. That is not the case with most async languages. For example both Python and NodeJS use a single thread to execute async code.
I tried this exploit on Android and it looks like you need root in the first place to create an AF_ALG socket. I guess it is an SELinux policy to disable AF_ALG entirely.
That test does not mean anything. I can also spin up a large LLM on my 5090 and say these models are ready for on device deployment now. However that would not be true for most people. You should test a Golang hello world binary as well. I bet it will take less than 40 milliseconds.
I had almost forgotten about that subreddit. Sadly it has been in a zombie state for years now. Despite having millions of members you can hardly find even 100+ comments on any post in the front page.
Last time I checked only political posts (like related to offshore programmers) got any kind of attention. Most technical posts barely gets 10 comments. Some of the smaller subreddits (like /r/ProgrammingLanguages) are much better.
Actually they are using everything they have to combat these cheap drones. That includes Patriot and THAAD systems as well. Specially UAE, which got struck with more drones than Israel. That is how Iran was able to take out a THAAD radar, because it was deployed so close to them.
Getting early into any technology only makes sense if you are building your business on top of it. Or you are making money from it in some way. Other than that it makes sense for the rest of us to wait.
Of course those that believe that AI will convert into AGI and destroy society as we know it won't be convinced.
Apple's ecosystem is the 8th wonder of this world. Nowhere else you can put a logo on a piece of cloth or aluminum wheel and sell them for hundreds of dollars. Greatest capitalist company of all time.
