accelerate VS hackage-server

Someone has opened a PR for accelerate here https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/pull/525 (sadly seems not actively maintained at the moment, but that can always change if people care enough). I agree for an executable you should freeze your dependencies and compiler version, and using 8.10 is fine. Although there are tons of improvements in 9.2+

Backprop is a neat library. However, I guess its use case is if you actually don't want to go for anything standard like Torch or TF (perhaps for research?) For instance, if I were to use something like Accelerate for GPU acceleration, or some other computation-oriented library, then I would mix it with Backprop. Previously, I have benefited from Backprop in a ConvNet tutorial and I liked it.

Wait, really? Here's a conversation I had with him: https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/discussions/528

I know Accelerate is being developed at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. You can look at publications by Trevor McDonell to get a taste of what they are doing.

I’m personally a big fan of http://www.acceleratehs.org / https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-llvm

Looking for a few projects that make use of it, I found accelerate, hawk, polysemy and pretty-simple, so I'll be interested to poke around in their code and see how they have things set up.

There's accelerate for GPU computing and hmatrix for bindings to BLAS and LAPACK.

I'm toying with the idea of replacing vector values with vector generators, where e.g. v1 + v2 is not evaluated to a new vector, but to a vector program. This is similar to the approaches of Accelerate and TensorFlow. On the flip side, I don't think I could get rid of the overhead, and I expect much smaller computation loads than aforementioned libraries, so overheads could be very significant. The added benefit of using vector generators is that the generator could not only be evaluated, but also be turned into a Latex formula.

Very cool! Is this open-source? It would be cool to add a few sources to this (like https://hackage.haskell.org).

I used to see pandoc described as a "virus that makes people want to install Haskell", but I think someone must've figured out binary distribution.

The closest analogue to ZIO is probably the RIO monad + Has* type classes from https://hackage.haskell.org . /package/rio . (But ZIO is a bit richer with the typed error channel.)

Not yet, first hackage-server has to be updated to Cabal-3.8.1.0, see this hackage-server ticket

So I was working on this tool pysearch.com for doing deep semantic searches of python docs by program analysis inferred functionality when I noticed that every library's docs seem to be in a different format hosted in a different source. This would be fine if there was also a standard format hub for all the libraries on pypi or something, but it looks like even readthedocs doesn't contain everything. I find this a bit odd given the existence of tools like pydoc for doing something like this locally. Originally, I was hoping to find something like hackage for haskell, as I was hoping to build a natural language version of hoogle. In the meantime I've gotten pysearch to work by setting up custom rules for each doc, but this is kinda unsustainable.

The other source of haskell documentation is hackage, which features both libraries and higher-level GHC modules. Using hoogle (!hoogle or !hgl in DDG), you can search these docs by module name, function name, or even type signature.
