If you use `assert` in tests, I don't understand why you wouldn't also prefer unwrap in this context.

I think it's also perfectly reasonable to use in a context like binary you run locally for private consumption, or for instance a serverless function which allows you to pinpoint the source of errors more easily in the logs.

It's not a good fit for cases where you do expect cases where the unwrap will fail, but it's a great fit for cases where you believe the unwrap should always succeed, as it allows you to pinpoint the cases where it fails.

Even their high-end prosumer hardware could be interesting as an AI workstation given the VRAM available if the software support were better.

I am honestly shocked Nvidia has been allowed to maintain their moat with cuda. It seems like AMD would have a ton to gain just spending a couple million a year to implement all the relevant ML libraries with a non-cuda back-end.

Probably you can squeeze a bit of optimization out of using Metal directly, but I think it's a more than viable approach to start with Vulkan/MoltenVK as a target, and add a Metal branch to the renderer when capacity allows (although you might never feel the need)

I have no insider knowledge, but I always wondered if those kinds of cultures had a hazing / blind-leading-the-blind aspect to them. I.e. the people who got hired were the ones who jumped through some arbitrary hoops, so they doubled down on those hoops being the right hoops to choose the best candidates.

It's a shame, because it's definitely powerful enough, and the idea of traveling with just an iPad seems super interesting, but I imagine they will not extend those features to any devices besides macs

So like if you are executing a series of commands, the one requiring admin privileges tends to be one you might want to be more careful about (i.e. altering system configs, or doing a potentially insecure operation)

So if you are running everything in an admin terminal, it seems like you wouldn't have that extra check to remind you to be extra mindful of a particular operation, since everything you do in that terminal is in the same bucket

But honestly I'm most amazed by the fact that there wasn't previously a way to run commands with elevated permissions in Windows. How did people work like that? Just run everything in an admin terminal super unsafely?
