Everyone at this point agrees that GraphQL was a bad idea, right?

@BrendanEich Does it ever work? I mostly default to using Grok nowadays

Where did the name dynamic programming come from?

[Derek Dreyer @HerrDreyer]

TIL the origin of the term "dynamic programming". It is totally priceless. https://t.co/r9n8os9Rc4

The Ocean Cleanup is now $40M/year short of what’s needed to stop up to 1/3rd of all plastic flowing into the oceans by 2030.

That’s less than 1% of what America spends on Halloween decorations each year.

"from a global allocation perspective" is exactly what's wrong with these type people. Next they will take your car; it's only used 5% of the time. Then your XBOX. Then your wife.

I love having powerful computers that sit there and wait for me. That's what it means to be rich.

Altman thinks local inference is a "terrible allocation of scarce resources".

It comes from the style of thinking that leads to centralization of all things for purposes of efficiency. What people who do this don't get is that extreme efficiency in this way also leads to fragility.

Some inefficiency is worth the tradeoff for resilience, independence that we get from decentralization.

@ryanlpeterman Great stuff, looking forward to this one. Always enjoyable listening to the Unix Bell Labs folks.

@fjzeit Of course, but a bunch of people will still use Linux as a poster child for vibe coding aka not looking at the code to push their agenda.

I'm happy to share that Mojo and MAX are now fully open - for development, extension, and commercial use! This includes the full Mojo programming language, but also the MAX graph compiler, MLRT runtime internals, and hardware abstraction logic.

Get your agents going!👇

The Python functools.cmp_to_key utility converts a sorting comparison function (e.g. Python 2, JavaScript) into a sorting key.

It works is by returning a custom object whose sorting protocol methods are defined in terms of the comparison function.

At Devuan, we're not driven by profit or marketing. We recognize the achievements of other communities through evidence, not hype. That's why we salute @OpenBSD on its 8.0 release: an outstanding community effort putting users' security first.

Society if the IETF had early on standardized on some syntax (like S-expressions or JSON) instead of doing a custom ABNF every time they need to put a bunch of data into a structure.

@valigo Lol, titles also experienced inflation, just like currency?
