I can only share my empirical anecdata - I deal with code in different languages daily. Lisps have little difference when using with LLM just like any other compile&run language. But when you hook them up to a live Lisp REPL (which I admit requires some work) - it all gets very interesting.
Dr Seth Horowitz did some interesting work in psychoacoustics and documented how low amplitude low pitch movement-based sound(s) promotes falling asleep mediated by the vestibular system. Explains why its so easy to fall asleep in the car
Same. I'm very happy with my FW13 too. It replaces the MBA for my purposes -- dev on linux (mostly webdev on this machine, have a remote machine for gpu/heavy work), web browsing, streaming, some very light gaming (portal 2 on steam).
I'm waiting on that test too :) a few more cpu generations and I'll be itching to upgrade. I'm excited to for that to happen.
I wonder how these compare to high frequency training standards. It seems like they'd have similar speed/reliability/predictability requirements in the critical paths.
JFS-CPP bans exceptions because you would lose control over the execution of the problem. The HFT crowds didn't like it because you'd add 10ns to a function call.
At least before we had zero-cost exceptions. These days, I suspect the HFT crowd is back to counting microseconds or milliseconds as trades are being done smarter, not faster.
I'd love to see as much electrification as possible.
On the aviation note, sadly, aviation bats higher than its C02 accounting. Contrails add another 1-2% on top of contribution from it's C02 emissions. It's entirely avoidable and could be resolved at relatively low cost.
If that’s the case it makes aviation like 6-7%, still low. Coal fired electricity generation is king when it comes to climate change, followed by oil fueled land transport and natural gas. Deforestation is higher too. Aviation is part of the long tail.
