what tasks are you thinking? i'm not a gpu expert q is good with bulk operations on compact arrays; these are cache-friendly and the interpreter can utilize cache-level parallelism…

they mean CPU instruction cache

q/kdb+ is used in finance (banking + funds) for heavy numerical computation every day. high-volume realtime data straight from markets, and petabyte/trillion-row historical DBs. it…

backtrace has been supported for some time. the debug facilities are nice https://code.kx.com/q/basics/debug/#stack-frames

I have a physical copy of Practical Compiler Construction 2nd Ed. and like it a lot. I recommend Nils' books to anyone who may be interested.

fair enough. i'm not convinced. there are many humans who could study mathematics for a lifetime and not be able to comprehend the current best knowledge we possess. i'm one of the…

really interesting write-up. thanks for sharing! do you think there are any lessons that can be applied to a "normal" interpreter/compiler written in standard C? i'm always interes…

not OP. but he did say "nearly everyone". long lists of side effects are common even for the most benign and common drugs. that's standard. for example i could say that the common …

do you disagree the present moment is an important inflection point for AI research? what point in the last few decades do you think was more important?

check out oK[0] by John Earnest, who is the author of the content of this post. it has a well-written manual and is a great jumping off point. the source is written in ~1000 lines …

i love k. it's a much smaller and regular language than APL and some of its derivatives. you can look at John Earnest's oK. it's fantastically documented and a great learning resou…

i don't think it's stupid. i also find k more readable. 2 reasons why: - k has much fewer primitives. it's easier to remember a smaller set of operations. - k is statically parsabl…

for scientific output you can look to MIRI. that is eliezer's contribution. the other response has listed some papers. it's worth mentioning that he has said that he believes MIRI …

"he's gonna milk it to every drop" is such an odd take. eliezer has long been concerned about AI and the risks it poses to humanity. and for just as long people have called him cra…

i learned something. thanks for responding.

why does 1. source split among numerous files, and 2. partial bootstrapping affect embeddability? i'm asking in earnest. i thought to embed we (typically) just need a shared lib an…
