It looks like you very dramatically missed the point

So in other Julia geometry-related projects that may be true, but for this particular corner of the ecosystem the main author (Júlio Hoffimann) has actually implemented much of the…

For this crowd, "machine learning" should really be read as parallel Bayesian inversion via MCMC (Metropolis modified with a form of "parallel tempering"), but that was a bit much …

I suspect there's a bit of an Eternal September effect going on as a wider audience ends up here (possibly fleeing the continuing "enshittification" of most all for-profit online f…

Femptolisp, a "Scheme dialect"

That's how it works in any language on a supercomputer. MPI is pretty much the only game in town for inter-node communication.

The most IDE-ish experience is probably currently the vscode plugin. I haven’t used pycharm specifically for comparison, but I suspect “probably not” as compared to a polished paid…

> While the details of CCS provisioning vary in the different versions of the GPL agreements, the general principle is that CCS need to be provided either (a) along with the binary…

This is pretty clearly against the spirit, albeit probably not the letter, of the GPL. Sad to see.

The author links this in the fourth paragraph; their argument is that while compute is not a viable moat, training data may be.

Yes, I think so (and many already have)

I've seen this criticism that it's "difficult to reason about which method will actually be called because of the type system" once before, but it absolutely flummoxes me... I have…

It has good power/weight ratio in theory, esp. if you're burning it (c.f. space shuttle), but hard to store or transport it both densely and safely in a practical way -- i.e., unle…

Seasonal storage is an interesting idea. Rare grid outages seems pretty easy with batteries if the South Australia example is anything to go by though, and for medium-term storage …

I'll go one further: Hydrogen does nothing. It's a bad battery. After following this for more than a decade (starting with a bit of undergrad research on possible alternative fuel …

I think this is the best answer, as someone who's been using the language for most of my work for a few years (but not in ML). Flux.jl is probably the highest-profile relevant effo…

It seems like you have some emotional baggage involved here. I use Julia every day (for scientific computing). I have never worked with or for the Julia Computing folks, but don't …

There's https://github.com/atom-community/atom , hoping that or similar will gain traction

I'm teaching an intro programming course (discipline-specific, for Earth sciences) in Julia at Dartmouth. So far so good I think -- but definitely on the sciences side of things.

Latency / "ttfx" for all sorts of things has also dropped dramatically over the past ~year, and will get another big boost with the native code caching PR

A correlation between mass extinctions and certain volcanic episodes known as "large igneous provinces" has been emerging over the last decade or two; this paper quantifies that co…

Same day as RStudio changes to Posit?

I actually donate a nominal amount via github sponsors just to help support hosting costs since I find the utility useful -- specifically in my case for allowing people using my Bi…
