Roger Peppe and Bryan Boreham join Mat and Kris to discuss the state of Generics in Go, including benefits like cleaner code, solving problems with few lines of code, and simplifying processes with the slices package. They also explore limitations and challenges, potential performance implications, and technical aspects of implementing generics at compile time. The discussion covers unpopular opinions, code formatting, balance between simplicity and help, tech debt, debt management, risk-taking in interactions, and collaboration despite mistakes.

It was an amazing week in AI news. Among other things, there is a new NeRF and a new Llama in town!!! Zip-NeRF can create some amazing 3D scenes based on 2D images, and Llama 2 from Meta promises to change the LLM landscape. Chris and Daniel dive into these and they compare some of the recently released OpenAI functionality to Anthropic’s Claude 2.
