I'd like to try the premium models too, but I've already spent $20 on other services, so I'm a little hesitant. Hopefully, there will be a smaller plan or a trial option.


People say Arch is stable. Yes, it's stable until some nasty unexpected thing like the grub issue happens. Even though I'm willing to fix issues, I don't want to fix things accidentally when I need my PC to work.


I'm curious about the status and/or roadmap of REPL for vlang? Do you plan for an expressive experience with the REPL, like in interpreted languages (python, ruby...), or it just compiles each line?


REPL compiles each time, but we also have a WIP interpreter. That one is the real thing :) Not finished yet.

Can you explain the benefits of this over Zygote?


It should be faster for higher-order AD, among other things. Keno talked about some of the theory in [1], but also has a Juliacon presentation later this week.

The main thing that makes me use jQuery is its syntax, saves me a lot of time writing equivalent vanilla js code. The templating is handled by Django so there's little interest in React or Vue.


Well, `complex` or not `complex`, could be `real`? =D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number


You said from the beginning:

>> "Not sure why one would bother with this".

Then one provided the reasons for that, and you brought out your own opinions to defense that you don't wanna use Jax (without even trying)!? With that in mind, a thousand more reasons would not satisfy you.

From the perspective of a person who does DL research stuff with math background, I find Jax way more intuitive than any of other frameworks, Pytorch included. In math, you just don't "zero-ing the gradient" every iteration. In the same way, you just don't have to "forward" first to get the gradient. The more one does experiments with Jax, the more she / he would find it's faster / less steps / more intuitive to test new ideas. And I don't like the object-oriented design of Pytorch, functional seems more intuitive for me. That's why I would bother with Jax.
