fp64

It's full Clojure, immutable and stuff, with full C++ interop and native compilation. Janet is strongly Clojure influenced but more of an embedded scripting language. I like both quite a bit.

I would think OpenAI licensed the tests, their availability might have been a reason for picking sqlite for this "benchmark" in the first place

Fighting "the loneliness epidemic", of course!

on the linked GitHub page they list support Diffusers, ComfyUI, vLLM-Omni, SGLang, and LightX2V with links to each

If I understand you correctly, your assumptions are far more wild. Are you assuming an alien civilization has perfected interstellar travel to the point it is just a convenience comparable to modern human aviation? Millions of tourist flights across the galaxies with regular stops on earth?

There have been so many catastrophic accidents along human history despite all its advancements, I don't find this particularly implausible. Also across sci-fi, the stranded in space or on a distant world is a common trope without your criticism broadly applied either.

I like browser-based UI, as they offer similar advantages to TUIs: You can use the UI on a different machine than the application itself is running. Arguably, modern Web standards also lend themselves to some elegant code design for UI. However, the "waste" is a valid point, but then again your TUI (and many GUIs) will fail on those things that cause the "bloat" of a browser: support for the weirdest encodings, dealing with the most absurd edge cases, supporting the largest amount of devices in a uniform manner. Shipping a whole electron for your crappy app is not what I mean. This should stop, as it trades all advantages for almost only disadvantages.

How does the rush from getting "engagement" with this social post feel now?

that's fantastic, thanks a lot. I had a use-case a while ago, so I might revisit and give delaunay32 a shot!

The article only mentioned he asked for a different problem, not that he was quickly explaining the solution and then asked for a different one. So this were exactly my thoughts, it's a bit like getting asked to find the roots of a polynom and replying "oh I already know how to do it, can you ask me something different?"

A post-apocalyptic desert landscape. The hero descends into the ruins, now a temple. Crude drawings of times before, people riding dinosaurs and mobile phones with arms and legs swinging a whip at the oppressed. He reaches the altar, a old MacBook, bottlecaps and fidgit spinners glued as a mosaic onto it. In the corner three starved men, riding on power generating bicycles providing some artificial light and supplying the machine with divine electricity. He proceeds and types: "we are starving. How can we get food?". Everybody waits in silence. Hours pass. Days. Slowly, letters emerge on the cracked screen: "you are absolutely right —" the screen flickers and fades. Panic. The link to God severed cynically. The hero has to seek out a new device, into distant lands. Maybe this time it will save them

I don't see the irony? LLMs are much better at cleaning up a mess. Using LLMs not properly created that mess in the first place.

Worse than OpenGL though? Haven't had the time to really look into it, probably native Metal is better, yes, but either way it might be easier to port/adapt from Vulkan than from OpenGL (due to similar concepts, no global state, etc)

MoltenVK is pretty good I've been told
