> they encourage grouping everything that concerns a value ("put this value in a dependent type that encodes everything known about it") I understood you to be saying "bundling is …

To say nothing of "Swift for TensorFlow" when Julialang was an option. To each their own!

I follow your connection, though I think your unit analogy is a strawman. Do you want to give two different types to complex numbers, depending on whether a given complex number re…

The part in this that I most question / deviate from is what I've quoted below about having distinctions (syntactically?) between objects and operations. Conceptually, it's a good …

People are jumping on it being an important file to review. You don't want to ignore the diff. Even if that's true, you definitely do not want to attempt merge two lock files, and …

If there is a stack of size n and you make a modification at the first change, closest to the trunk, is there a single git command you can run to rebase the other n-1 branches and …

They are referring to the comment ("You're pointing out a real conceptual issue ..."), not the article.

Have you heard the thought that LLM hallucinations when coding within an API / framework are feature requests against the same? I have a suspicion that Julia, owing to multiple dis…

> Intel's first 32-bit microprocessor was the iAPX 432, which was introduced in 1981, but was not a commercial success. It had an advanced capability-based object-oriented architec…

Are the 50 for loops truly necessary in the manual C code example of a Kalman filter? At least introduce a few functions (that could be inlined and loop-fused) for some matrix oper…

Another way to make the same point is to observe that every single society has language. But only some groups have the ability to systematically encode language as writing. Writing…

Does anyone have a reference to the original thread or issue about sleep(1)?

The bug being "perturbation confusion"?

This is the first time I see "SGD" to mean "standard gradient descent" and not "stochastic gradient descent".
