Hello from a wildcat alumnus class 2006, never thought I would see a weber state link in HN top 20.

Really we don’t care.
My point was speak for yourself, the history does not suggest you are correct. Evidence economists do care[1][2][3]. Economics was still a relatively newer niche discipline[4].

No one in the economics profession cares.
Another contradiction by a member of the economics profession. It seems to me they care very much. By linking the prize to Alfred Nobel’s name (and to the Nobel institutions), the Riksbank ensured the prize would immediately carry great symbolic prestige. The Nobel brand was already well established internationally, so adopting the name helped the economics prize gain recognition, gravitas, and legitimacy.

Intel Arc A770 16gb $349 had 40 TFLOP of FP16 which is close to 7900 xtx on the FLOPS/$ scale.
Intel's software is much better (MKL, vtune, etc for GPU) and getting better.

R -> dying, Perl -> dead, C++ -> also dying. Although C++'s existing size will make its death a long-drawn-out process.

Not a podcast but an episode of a podcast called Adversarial Learning Episode 10: Stories of Degradation and Humiliation. https://adversariallearning.com/episode-10-stories-of-degrad...
I wish there was a podcast like this episode. A single host and new guests on every week to share their stories of bad interviews.

Presumably, the children need to be kept in some sort of detention center. We are talking about Australia a former penal colony after all. /s

The proposed semiconductor fabs seem legitimately crazy. It's a desert state with 87% of the desert in extreme drought. The state is already planning on needing "mitigation" water. Don't fabs need water? I recall reading something about tsmc and water usage.

Why did you buy a lot zoned ag when you clearly wanted one zoned residential? A little due diligence before purchasing the lot and you would either know what you in for and still buy or decide it's too much of a hassle and walk.

Hanging brain. No longer a joke, now an accurate description.

Julia is really nice the only problems are 1) its focus is it being used from the REPL. While you can use a .jl script from the cli it feels wrong because of 2) its lack of a good AOT compilation/runtime/static binary option. Its JIT compiler is really good but you pay a price on startup and first runs hence Julians usually just have long running REPLs they don't close. 3) the ecosystem is still immature there are some amazing parts but also a lot of empty or poor parts still.
