Just to clarify, this requires both the client and the debugging script to be running 3.14? So I cannot have a script running an older version of Python but use a Python 3.14 debug script to attach to the running script?

Yes

Rust can be used in an embedded environment and also offers asynchronous execution built into the language

If I had the Infinity Stones [1], I'll redefine human legal, political, cultural practices and beliefs so that we set right fitness function as it relates to 'survival of the fittest'. Nature evolved its own criteria for what is fit and unfit. We humans have twisted those around with our beliefs and systems, often for good, but often incorrectly and often inconsistently.

'Fit' cannot be meaningful unless 'unfit' too is, and the unfit are set to some real disadvantage. Trying to attain equality over both fit and unfit is detrimental when taken collectively. Having ethics defined in a way that in practice, those who follow ethics suffer more while those who don't follow have higher chances of success, is not good.

What your describing is social Darwinism, an argument used by fascist.

> [numpy] stores everything in rows

This isn't true. Pandas uses Numpy to store columns of data. Theres quite a few technical errors in the article.

Isn't heat free energy in a place like London? I know very little about metro systems so please correct me if this is insane: wouldn't the people living above the tubes be happy to get a heat exchanger (passive) or heat pump (active, but takes more of the heat) that prewarms their hot water supply? People still take warm showers and boil tea and rice/pasta in summer, and in winter the purpose should be obvious. If the water comes in at 30 instead of 10 degrees C, you need to add only a few degrees for showers and floor heating

What do you do in the summer when the homes don’t want the heat?

When using low precision formats like float8 you usually have to upscale the activations to BF16 before normalising. So the normalisation layers are proportionally using more compute when going to lower precision. Replacing these layers would help reduce the compute cost significantly.

Even languages like Python and Javascript who are huge show a decline after 2022 which suggests ChatGPT is probably responsible. It would be better to have some other measure imo.

It measures the proportion of questions for that language out of all languages. So, if there is a general decline in Stackoverflow questions, it’s already accounted for in the metric

According to Stackoverflow trends, Julia’s popularity is decreasing and very small

Can you use to launch an Intel VM on Apple Silicone and visa versa? I’m interested in doing this so I can compile C++ applications for different architectures on MacOS. Do you know of any other “easy” methods?

Other than bandwidth, is there any other performance differences between Cloudflare and GitHub Pages?
