I was so stoked, when it was released. Loved the approach they take. So, I can say, there was at least one person who asked for it.

With the hindsight, it is not a great mainstream language and the new opinionated language is too hard for junior Joe developers.

Anyway, you clearly have not read the article, as it is about bug in a transitive dependency, not an actual Scala 3 issue.

p.s.: Scala compiler is one of the most aggressively tested pieces of software in the JVM ecosystem.

The idea that we can solve "language" by breaking down and understanding sentences is naive and funny with the benefit of hindsight, is it not?

An equivalently funny attitude seems to be the "natural language will replace programming languages". Let's see how that one will work out when the hype is over.

Exactly, an _independence_ vote.

Have you been paying attention at all these past few weeks? Google is crushing it with releases. Gemini 2.0 is great, Veo2 is crushing Sora, live video conversation from aistudio... 12 days of OpenAI turned out to be 12 days of Google.

Image details 9/10 Animation 3/10 Temporal consistency 2/10

Verdict 4/10

That would be 1.38 bits per weight on average, which I can confidently guess would not perform well.

My mum (65+) is addicted to Duolingo. She has been practicing English for a year. They gamified the app well. She did not learn much though.

Thanks! I am collecting all "test prompts" which appear at HN and Reddit. I plan to create a hugging face dataset. I will soon publish "Vojta-1B", which is gonna pass all of them.

This sounds too good. It's not too far away from me having a hard time wondering "is it just overly scripted corporate PR podcast".

Yeah. A slippery slope. If you force major apps to comply, smaller apps will pop up.

Not sure if you can win this whack a mole.

Seeems like simple enough 3D-to-3D will be possible soon!

I'll use it to upscale 8x all meshes and textures in the original Mafia and Unreal Tournament, write a good bye letter to my family and disappear.

I think the kids will understand when they grow up.

I was into this stuff when Scala was at its peak. I still think that it made me a better developer and it's just fun trying to understand all these concepts, but after several years I came to the conclusion that category theory will never hit mainstream.

Sure, the best ideas are already lurking into mainstream languages, but noone is building Monads and Functors. Implementations used in practice are not pure (flatMap on List accepts Sets/Options...).

These days I would probably jump on the Rust hype train and learned more about memory management and safety instead.

That is just a baseless speculation.
