It's not and such content should be banned from memes. But Lemmy has nearly no moderation on validity of content. Tbh, I like Reddit a lot better in many ways except for the asshole admins. It has problems, but still lot better controlled than here.

I've already addressed this same argument to the other commenter in length. But if what you say is true, which it is not, then python is not inefficient since it's already equivalent to C. Thus OP point of something being inefficient because it was made in python is wrong.

Wtf pepe is considered alt-right because alt-right uses them sometimes??? I hear they also use English! Maybe English needs to get banned!

Nearly every languages' every core packages are written in C. And almost every higher packages have some amount of C. That doesn't mean we get to say every program is done in C. And if you keep drilling down, everything is just machine lang. And certainly still disproves the OPs point of inefficient python.

Saying it's all done in C hardly even true. Just look at xformers library on GitHub. Only 2.7% of the code is C. And the entire library is about optimizing.

Additionally, vast majority of the great leaps in ML efficiency changes hasn't come from better programmed packages, though they too certainly made big strides. How we calculate itself has changed. That's what makes the greatest optimizations in anything. It doesn't matter what language it is, doing a loop 1000000 times to add 1 is going to be worse performance than just doing 1 multiplied by 1000000. How we calculate, what we choose to give up (such as determinism in some implementations if SDP attention changes) and such makes big differences.

Optimizations also has to be done by someone. Whether that be data scientists or otherwise. The ability for higher level languages to enable them to do so like you say also makes a big difference. If all the programmers had to optimize in C only, we'd still be way behind where we are now in performance.

Just swapping languages doesn't yield better results like OP is implying.

It makes the best example because there's that much more money to be saved.

What makes you think python is in optimized and bloated?

Did you know vast majority of AI development happening right now is on python? The thing that literally consumes billions of dollars of even-beefier-than-4090 GPUs like A100. Don't you think if they could do this more efficiently and better on C or assembly, they would do it? They would save billions.

Reality is that it makes no benefit to move away from python to lower level languages. There is no poor optimization you seek. In fact if they were to try this in lower level languages, they'll take even longer to optimize and yield worse results.

If you unlock it and wheel it to the curb, it's not protected anymore. Now assholes have access to it. They can dump dog shit even after the trash has been emptied on the trash day.

Are you dumb on top of being an asshole? How on earth would garbage collection take the garbage if I lock the bin and hide it away?

Yeah, what happened to community spirit and being neighborly? And I mean you. You're acting like you're entitled to being an asshole for your convenience at the cost of someone else's convenience. Someone doesn't want you to use their stuff for your shit and somehow you think they're wrong? Get on board with community spirit and stop being an ass.

Well, I pointed out the reason why your beginning comment is problematic. And as sp3tr4l pointed out, OP's link isn't even the one being referred to as the neo nazi.

How about you just watch and make the call yourself? Nothing about the video made me think she's a neo nazi nor did I think she's a bigot. People are allowed to want and like different things. Just because they have different wants doesn't mean they should just get random negative label on them and then be hated without actually even seeing what they say.
