Amateurs obsess over languages as well. Java vs C++. Rust vs Go. This vs that. etc.

Survival. No /s intended.

They are still trying to formalize the industry afaik.

You're very welcome!

The more 0s you add the closer you get to how Apple prices its products I guess.

Just like motorbike helmets?

Yep. You probably shouldn't write rocket software using Brainfuck or Java, but for entirely different(functionality) reasons.

As many things as possible would have to be taken into account. Maybe a different mathematical formalization is necessary.

typical CS-majors know that Java/C++ and Erlang are Turing equivalent.

The reproducibility crisis is going well. /s

I am in no way affiliated to Stanford. I don't think you can take the courses for free, but you can sure as hell read through the slides for many of the courses. Cheers!

Maybe trying to reverse engineer it using GNNs until they produce the same output(within some error margin) for various arbitrary inputs? Dunno.

Yep.

Same here.

I don't have a problem as long as there is a "physical" menu as well. Owning a smartphone(makesyoudumbphone) shouldn't be a requirement for sociability.

His book(Sculpting in Time) is a great read btw!

TPUs are GPUs basically, so it makes sense. I wouldn't be too quick to call it though.
