ahh. thanks! i read localization, thought of 5g beam forming and thought "oh this must be wifi sensing 5g beam forming edition." i stand corrected, thank you!

uwb is pretty neat. in the last few months i started getting 3/4ths of a gigabit of downstream bandwidth on a lot of nyc streets on my ordinary verizon plan.

existence or absence of drama around getting the right equipment is usually a very strong indicator of technical leadership quality.

ahh yes, the early 90s. computer shopper, datanet, pc magazine, a $59 seller's permit from the state of california that came with a magic number that would make distributors sell t…

i'm curious what this gains in practice and usability over standard chatbot slack integration.

it is definitely the claudiest. it's weird, it's like there's a spot developing in my head next to all the other spots where i park mental models for how people write, but instead …

it's just like a phone. don't buy a crappy one with firmware of unknown provenance. make sure the one you do buy has an active and effective effort that you trust that ships timely…

hm. in linux you have MAP_POPULATE which forces a prefetch where macos relies on page faults and lazy loading. if MADV_WILLNEED doesn't help, maybe readv to vector read directly or…

that's basically the argument, thank you! the other person i was debating with was correct to push back on the scope of the generalization! but, in cases where the choice is actual…

i don't think that's true. i still have a thinkeco ac modlet that coned sent me years ago as part of some kind of "make your ac smart" promotion. if you turn those knobs to the off…

that's a fun project. i'd be a little concerned about the servos failing to fully switch the switches or placing wear on them, maybe a dangerous failure mode where it is switched i…

for a given expert, do you have a sense for what the spatiotemporal access pattern looks like?

let me try arguing it this way: it is impossible for a non-tail-call-optimized recursion to use constant space. the stack grows with O(depth) and therefore memory usage does as wel…

maybe the wrong terminology, but non-tail-call-optimized recursions spray their state across space with each iteration consuming a new stack frame, where iterative algorithms live …

lol. i once interviewed with facebook and had some "senior" dev on the phone who was balking and grousing at my claim that iterative algorithms are faster than recursive ones. the …

> The multi-agent workflow led to interesting dynamics. For example, the key idea in producing this attack was discovered by a pair of workers working together. Both started invest…

i tend to think of this stuff in terms of top down information theoretic approaches to composition and bottom up psychophysics of auditory perception. there is some cool work out t…

it's actually an interesting question: is there a point where the long acting prep injections have effective durations that look like vaccines and boosters. and yes, sadly, it appe…

the bletchley park trust sells (used to?) pamphlets in the gift shop that they call "reports" which have been written by some of the rebuild team and other associates.

the nmc is most interesting, but also pretty cool to see turing's office in hut 8 (i guess the portable classroom like structure for a computer lab is a trope that goes all the way…

that's what i was describing! :) it's on the bletchley site (they share a parking lot) and was where tony sale and friends rebuilt the colossus. although i just looked. critically …

knowledge graph guided task synthesis. very cool! i have long wondered about the "how do you get good coverage of all the tasks" problem. maybe some interesting theoretical work th…

i had the opportunity to visit bletchley about sixteen years ago... one interesting detail was that all the colossus machines were destroyed after the war as they were seen as too …

use encryption and keys for all socket connections to adb, listen on 0.0.0.0 and unify the wifi thing with the socket thing, add an app level permission that allows apps to access …
