> It's a big democracy red flag when a majority wants to take a lot from a tiny minority

It’s not “taking”. The rich give out some money so the society has a higher probability to stay peaceful. or a violent revolution may happen.

This is really a win win situation

Go is not high performance enough. Like what others said, you implement the high performance part in C++ and use python to glue them.

Try pair reading it with a good thinking LLM like GPT 5.5 or Claude Opus. I found it help me a lot.

I have started learning SBCL internal from the beginning of this year with the help of GPT, and I really want to contribute to SBCL compiler someday in future.

Some of these models are open weight. You can try hosting them and do the price calculation yourself.

They also publish papers talking about how to save kv cache and computation powers. Because currently they don't have the most powerful nvidia cards, training and inference efficiency is very import for them.

That's amazing. I wonder how accurate is the synth engine?

It’s true that American companies have benefited from sending jobs overseas. Instead of trying to stop them, perhaps we could explore ways to share this money more fairly across the country.

I'm very interesting in this field (realtime audio + GPU programming). How do you deal with the latency? Do you send or multiple single vectors/buffers to GPU?

Also I think because samples in one channel need to be processed sequentially, does that mean mono audio processing won't benefit a lot from GPU programming. Or maybe you are dealing with spectral signal processing?

> What features has Google killed, do you think? The problem is more like google can implement whatever feature they want and force it into web standard

> How often has this been a problem, do you think? very often

> What other browsers have gone ahead, with Google holding out? Google is holding out in a sense that no other people can implement a feature-complete browser. Google is killing the "open standard" web by make the standard impossible.

I use rpi zero 2 as a coding server (paired with my iphone and a splitted keyboard) when I have slow or no internet. It's quite usable if you just mosh/ssh into it and use emacs/vim to code.

I didn't use google's image search for a long time so I don't know that. But I think kagi pays to use google's data as one of their source. So it's possible the image search results are the same. However the different order/ranking is what separated kagi and google.

Try jmp.chat, you can use an XMPP client to receive phone calls and sms.

I use the following services:

- phone number: jmp.chat and a textnow number as backup

- email: fastmail

- search: kagi

- map: apple map
