lol yeah just saw that, yeah that makes it unusable I think at least for me.

I wonder if they will do that with sol ultrafast!

Just tried it on a medium size coding/debug problem on an existing codebase, observations: - Input doesn't look faster than other models, it spends a lot of time reading Read about 5M tokens - Output is awesome, super fast as you expect from the 1500t/sec I think that's correct - Tool call is failing more than say DS4, which leads to time wasted on retries (complex tools like browser control for example) - Shell commands are still somewhat of a bottleneck

The net effect is that I spend about the same time waiting, and I still need to read that output so, at least for coding, it actually reconciles me with the 100-200t/sec you can get on DS4 or the like. Maybe that's a good sweet spot after all and faster t/sec is not where the bottleneck is.

Also maybe my setup (OMP) doesn't do the cache correctly but that's a huge cost driver... so atm it's quite pricy

yeah I liked it too, especially for 10x less the price lol

This is crazy and needs to stop indeed it's like you have:

- A degree (In which you've proven you can understand these algos and spent 4 years studying)

  I'm not going to redo all that in 1 week before your stupid puzzle!

- Experience (That has to be worth something it's not like everyone is lying about it)

- You may have open source contributions

But no, some companies will not even start to look at that or not look at all, before they ask you this stupid puzzle.

Personally I now filter those companies out, I mean 20 years of experience, contributions in major open source projects, if you can't recognize that? why would I interview?

Were I work now we give code assignments, while they take longer to do you can actually see structure which I agree with the author is the top quality I'm looking for. They are also less stressful for the candidate.

These places also tend to have underground parking :(

I work in a ML ecosystem ATM and concurrency is a major problem in python:

  - Threads can't be used efficiently because of the GIL

  - multiprocesses has to serialize everything in a single thread often killing performance. (Unless you use shared memory space techniques, but that's less than ideal compared to threads)

  - You can't use multiprocess while inside a multiprocess executor.  This makes building things on top of frameworks/libs that use multiprocess a nightmare...  e.g try to use a web server like over something like Keras... 

Those are the top reasons I don't like python but if you got appetite for more:

  - The dependency ecosystem is a pita, between python versions, package versions pinned or unpinned, requirements.txt, pipenv, poetry, conda... pick one and you're still sure to get into issues with other tools needing one system of another, or packages working a bit differently in conda etc... (I use poetry, with conda or pyenv)

  - The culture of let's write code easily is good to start with but it becomes a problem as people especially maybe in DS don't go further then that... and you end up with bad practices all over the place, un-testable code (the tests systems are also a pain to navigate), copy & pasted blobs etc...  Reading the code of some major libraries doesn't inspire confidence, especially compared to like Java, C++, go...

And last note I've seen way better emacs setup for python and presentations, it's ok as it is but I would not call it a Jimi Hendrix of python like a comment said...

I wish ML/DS would switch to Julia

I went one step further.

Use a server! , You can get cheap used, Dual Xeons 12 cores, with like 128G of ram on ebay for about 1000$

And that's not the only thing you get compared to a regular desktop you get:

  - IPMI
  - Dual Power supply
  - Hot swappable drives!
  - ECC Ram (nice for zfs)
  - A decent Motherboard with PCI extensions

But yes it sounds like a airplane, but the idea is to put that computer away from your desk in a closet or in your basement.

Thanks to Fiber Optic based DisplayPort cables, I have my server 30 ft away from me in the basement. My work area is dead silent!

Note I also use a usb extender and a usb DAC, so I got 2 long cables and I get keyb/mouse/audio and 4K 60Hz video.

I think a comparable spec new desktop would have cost about 5-10k..

With the savings I was able to get a PCI card with NVME drives, and 2x16TB drives and that was still cheaper :)

I'm going to approach this as a pure social thing.

To me emacs fits in a way because it fits the kinda misfit/hacker mentality I had back when I started playing with computers/software.

I found emacs and linux as the coolest things in the world while everyone was thinking computers were somehow for unwanted geeks in a basement.

And honestly that did not feel me with a need to be cool, wanted or popular.

Instead I developed a sense that having to learn things the hard way, fail and continue until I got it right without regard to what others thought had a super high value.

And to me that's what emacs symbolizes, it doesn't need to be popular or cool and maybe it will die at some point but even if that would be unfortunate it will have been central to a generation of free thinking, intelligent programmers.

And now it's 2020 it's cool to be a programmer, and we're awash with learn to be a dev the easy way seminars and here's how you can deploy your app in 2 clicks...

And that's good but it doesn't mean emacs has to be that way.

I think it is way way easier instead to create a new editor with the same free software mentality. Maybe that's Theia under the Eclipse Foundation, maybe it's something else. But migrating emacs to a VSCode like popular idea is crazy, you just can't migrate all of that.

Full disclosure I worked on GDB (using emacs) and Theia (a vscode like editor) and used emacs for 15+ years mainly doing c/cpp and org mode.

Isn't it strange all the work we put into securing networks etc... while we're engineers working from home and all it would take is someone figuring out where I live via Linkedin or whatnot.. and all this goes away with my physical security being pretty much non-existent.

I think this is somewhat funny since to think of this question at all really highlights the time people waste in JS/python etc.. Testing things that can be automatically checked by a simple compiler.

I do find that as some of these people migrate to TypeScript they write too much tests, as they are just not used to have some checks already done for them.

But to others that come from compiled/typed languages that's a question you'd never ask :)

Note this is Not a fork, it's a from scratch implementation that is compatible with the extensions of VSCode, not a vscode fork.

I could be wrong but I don't see JavaFX as alive and kicking... Especially compared to web technologies. And it's tied to Oracle pretty much...

Everything is relative, making it a bit harder may be worth it to some people and also maybe more detectable. But it's always possible of course.

It doesn't look like they offer an electron version like Theia does however.

It would be possible I guess however.
