Using a Feistel cipher and base 32 encoding at the boundaries of the system can help catching vibe coded edge code that attempt to decode identifiers in javascript. It also somewha…

The finite-memory nondeterminism monad is like a leaky burrito.

The test suite did the heavy lifting.

Not a word on Palantir. Is this because of the adept wording by the ministry of justice? I highly doubt they are developing this in a vacuum. As re reminder, In the UK Palantir hol…

Close floating-point subtraction loses precision: when x >> 1, sqrt(x+1) ≈ sqrt(x), so their difference suffers cancellation and end up rounding to zero. In contrast, sqrt(x+1) + s…

The interstimulus interval (ISI) for vision is much longer than most flicker rates or frame intervals in displays and projectors. However flicker can be perceived through temporal …

Why not add a pressure relief valve on the quench path with a very loud whistle? That should be enough to take care of such rare and compounded failures. What does recall means in …

Speculation: retrieval diminished generation?

Implementations usually replace replace the 1 in the denominator with exp(-max(x)) for this reason.

There is a video by PBS Space Time on that subject: https://youtu.be/GcfLZSL7YGw

44 strn?cpy, 287 strlen; SQLite: 20 strn?cpy, 182 strlen in 1.4x C slocs.

One approach is to perform the bitstream parsing and Huffman decoding concurrently, while carrying out the LZ77 decoding sequentially. This method does not rely on a specialized en…

In neuroscience, predictive coding [1] is a theory that proposes the brain makes predictions about incoming sensory information and adjusts them based on any discrepancies between …

It's been in the code base from the start: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/e8a02230/src/lib/net/net.g...

We downloaded libgen sql and zlib sql and exported the necessary data from them. Where does this "zlib sql" come from? Anna's pilimi-zlib2-index?

This make me wonder if flat-earth and other limiting cosmological views are mental shields against the realization that nothing matters except our peculiar existence.

I use the event loop to defer the (io heavy) post-processing of some requests without involving an off-process task runner like Celery. I use a custom implementation of this: https…

Code reuse is achievable by (mis)using the preprocessor system. It is possible to build a somewhat usable API, even for intrusive data structures. (eg. the linux kernel and klib[1]…

I can think of many specialized applications where the versatility is superfluous while the size of the model prohibit inference on the edge. Do you know if there is available meth…

This add-on is using solvespace for solving constraints.

The is a python API for it's constraints solver: https://pyslvs-ui.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-solvespace... However the solid geometry engine is tightly coupled with the appli…

> - good for modeling mechanical parts / lousy for modeling anything organic-looking SDF modeling is great for organic shapes. On the surface, it feels similar to OpenSCAD since CS…

YaCy is decentralized, but without the credit system. Some tokens, like QBUX, have tried to develop decentralized hosting infrastructure. I also have been wondering how this would …
