Thanks for the reply. Sounds exciting, looking forward to the future of Modular!

Since Chris is lurking: will Mojo on GPUs be more like using Jax (relying on compiler), Triton (more control, but abstracted), or more like CUDA (close to maximal control)? Combina…

Can you name three things an average child knows which GPT-4 doesn't?

Saving you the scroll: weaker than GPT-4 and Claude 2

Fascinating. Saw a paper pop up on one of my Semantic Scholar feeds just the other day with the title "Symmetry and simplicity spontaneously emerge from the algorithmic nature of e…

Cf Feynman method and writing. Also, https://twitter.com/slatestarcodex/status/147679666646424781...

I still think I prefer Wikiwand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiwand but I like that yours doesn't redirect from Wikipedia (and presumably track you). If you could steal some des…

This is an exciting idea, but the style of the paper is off-putting. It's written in the style of an academic paper, while clearly eschewing associated norms like not giving blatan…

> Something else to think about would be looking at the ratio of clicks to completions instead of just the sum of completions alone. Good idea. In addition to better metadata for b…

> The only reason is because I'm the only developer and simply haven't had time to build it yet! I see you're using React on the frontend. And, you only have an iOS app but not (ye…

Ok, cool. Why is there no tagging or other organization (besides per author)? Skimming through the frontpage I either have no idea what an article is about or it appears to be some…

I've also had the idea of creating a site which restricts users to having read the article. So, I'm excited about your project. Couple questions 1) You mention a paywall, but your …

This sounds pretty cool, but, two thoughts 1) Echoing the other comments in this thread about uneasiness with feature creep 2) Wouldn't have been a breaking change if the language …

Thanks, I intend to give it a fair try

Thanks for the honest reply. Nim interests me but this nil business seems questionable to me. Just found this comment from the language creator, https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/iss…

Oh, thought you were same poster. Well, that other person mentioned it in a context which doesn't appear to be related to systems programming. Just checked Github for some of the t…

Likewise unsafe Rust has null pointers, but I've never needed it or seen it used. (Same with Haskell). You just mentioned using "nil" in a simple example which doesn't appear to be…

2/12 of those are dead links

Why does Nim have "nil"?

This would seem to be the hyper-individualist response. Our environment/context influences our behavior. Saying, "well, technically any given person could ignore their environment/…

What's impressing to me is that in the most "IO-bottlenecked" benchmarks: 'Multiple queries' and 'Data updates' (on Cloud) Drogon is smoking the next best frameworks. What's up wit…

Something doesn't need to be a 'well defined entity' to speak about it meaningfully. "Most Wikipedia articles are less than 20k words". Is that not a meaningful statement? "But, an…

I understand what you mean. In fact, I think we should more frequently do the opposite: we should publicly shame slow websites ( cough new Reddit). Anyway, for fast SPAs, here is a…

> Maybe that's just confirmation bias and I just don't notice it as much on sites that do it well This seems to me to be the key phrase. I sympathize with all the "JS has gone too …
