Hillel is back with more (newer) Python craze. This is what happens when you just add nice-looking trendy features to your language without considering their interactions with existing ones.

Crimes with Python's Pattern Matching
Let's make the CPython team regret adding pattern matching to Python!

Another #free #book on algorithms. The book itself covers all major areas and additional online material covers many more. At the very least it features pretty funny epigraphs for its chapters. 😏

language implementations and the operating systems supporting them have grown into baroque monstrosities with most curious and —worse!— changing properties

Intel бодро двигает свои дискретные GPGPU в нишу High-Performance Computing (и Machine Learning заодно, но насколько успешно на этом направлении — есть сомнения). Более того, контракт на Aurora был подписан ещё в 2015, то есть деньги уплочены, а значит и ноды с Xe GPUs будут поставлены, и будут использоваться. По факту, Intel уже потеснила NVidia и AMD на рынке HPC GPGPUs, да ещё и в пафосном Exascale сегменте. Красивый ход. Intel not dead.
Возможно, сейчас неплохой момент чтобы подобрать акции Intel по сниженной цене. Делать этого я конечно не буду. Не является инвестиционной рекомендацией.

Intel’s 2021 Exascale Vision in Aurora: Two Sapphire Rapids CPUs with Six Ponte Vecchio GPUs
For the last few years, when discussing high performance computing, the word 'exascale' has gone hand-in-hand with the next generation of supercomputers. Even last month, on 10/18, HPC twitter was awash with mentions of ‘Exascale Day’, signifying 10^18 operations…

"No-code isn't scalable"
I'd say the conclusion is "SaaS isn't scalable if you actually grow to 'a Web-scale'". And if you grow near Twitter/Facebook scale you're all but doomed to rebuild everything from the ground up: https://danluu.com/in-house/

Google combines Machine-Learned Transformer-based code completions with "traditional" semantic analysis-based completions and checks and measures some productivity improvements.
It's nice to be Google: you can have 10k+ devs in your treatment group and the rest of Google in control.

Julia developers be like
What if use LLVM as a JIT compiler but unironically? And also have macros to implement staged compilation right in Julia and then JIT what's left? We'll implement blazing fast autodiff and put everything in a GPU!
Python developers at Google be like
Wait we have our own compiler to, XLA! And we can write Python functions to specialize other Python functions, right? We too can implement blazing bast autodiff and even target TPUs!
Actually JAX's approach to compiling Python to IR with tracing right inside Python is pretty fascinating. They also gain and exploit Futamura projection-like functionality to make (almost) everything composable. Clever stuff.

Важные новости для камеродрочеров: основные производители — Nikon, Sony, Canon — забили на зеркалки, просто распродают и довыпускают текущие модели, но новых не разрабатывают. Полностью переключились на беззеркалки.
Как водится, это обусловлено тем, что технический прогресс догнал и перегнал. Что в конечном счёте сводится к бешеному увеличению плотности и скорости работы элементов ("пикселей") как матрицы, так и экрана. Фотоэлементов на матрице и "жидких кристаллов" в дисплее (даже таких миниатюрных как на фотокамерах) стало уже настолько дофига, да ещё и DSP процессор стал настолько быстрым, что никакие дополнительные зеркала и призмы ничего улучшить уже не могут. А без них система, понятное дело, проще, надёжнее и дешевле.
Видимо, цифровых зеркалок в светлое будущее не возьмут — останутся только плёночные для создания "тёплых ламповых" фотографий "под старину", для тех у кого сильно свербит ностальгия и чувство прекрасного.

Why Nikon and Canon have given up on DSLRs
Nikon popularized the SLR camera in the 50s with the F, and its DSLRs have been a top pro choice for years. Now, Nikon has reportedly stopped developing new models, joining Canon and Sony, so why? The answer is that mirrorless cameras are finally fast enough…

The guys also have stretch goals to make more practical effects and more realistic everything. It still makes sense to throw thousands of dollars at them.
