Well the "expertise" is mostly just Python thats sort of the value prop. But yeah building an actual AI product ontop I'd be more worried about the early stage nature of Modular ra…

More of a question of /will/ Mojo eventually be entirely open source, chunks of it already are. The intent from Modular is eventually it will be, just not everything all at once an…

Feel like Mojo is worth a shoutout in this context https://www.modular.com/mojo Solves the issue of having a superset of Python in syntax where "fn" instead of "def" functions are …

yeah looks like how they distribute too, basically pre installed and configured pg_search pg_datalake and pgvector

Came here to suggest this should be generic, but I'd also do something like pack in `man ` into the prompt if you are one shotting. Then it works for "all" commands that have a man…

There area also a lot of people naive to how BS publishing has become. Plenty of PhD students get sucked in, a common one is being asked to publish your thesis as a book. Learning …

No you should strongly reason and believe in your own power of reasoning, but you should never dogmatically hold on to those beliefs in the light of new evidence that contravenes y…

Media is a few days lag behind academic publication on this one http://www.nature.com/articles/nenergy201732

I think that says more about you than everyone else. I would walk halfway across town for slightly better bbq. Ultimately what is there to life than improving the quality of your e…

Not for performance which is what I think rurban was getting at.

If you come from only a Perl 5 background this is the issue. None of that is obvious. It is to someone who's seen OO languages that are a bit functional with good exception handlin…

Well if you are wandering that way again it's a bit faster a year later. About 10x across the board would be a good estimate. That's still super slow for some things.

Thanks for your projection of rudeness... Makes me feel extra special given I spent about ten minutes linking all that stuff. Baliador is meant to be a take on Dancer from Perl 5 w…

A) It's released with a frozen spec and a large test suite for compliance ( https://github.com/perl6/roast ), with a compiler available that supports a module ecosystem with over 7…

It's hard for me to describe how much Perl 6 doesn't need another web framework, but someone to actually use the ones that already exist! There is even already more than one middle…

No one talking about Perl 6 compactness means golfed code! Just naturally translating over say a Java program with the OO design intact will be hugely compact. In a way that means …

Since Christmas 2015 was the "production" release of the language specification. Hence the 6.C version number, the C stands for Christmas. Rakudo around about now implements that f…

Because people keep asking why it hasn't taken off rather than using it and posting here about how it was awesome.

I'd say most netbooks or tablets replaced it for all of those things now... But you're right that Psion were super innovative. More important than their series 5 hardware was the o…

This article shows a gross ignorance of the reality. Academic sciences especially are woefully under funded and anyone coming out now with a PhD has no position to go into especial…

I want to see Lee Sedol win with just a single neurone from his neocortex then...

This isn't a better view though. The number of Watts is not important. Biology is efficient in energy use, so what? If you tax a human brain it doesn't especially consume vast amou…

There are still the design docs ( http://design.perl6.org/ ) which are essentially spec documents. They are what implementors have been using over the years. Don't forget the tests…
