The article’s distinction about memory is a bit too simplified. Virtual memory is address space mapped or reserved by the process. RSS is resident physical pages, not necessarily “…

For anyone else who's suffering, paste this in the console in devtools: document.getElementsByTagName('main')[0].style.margin = '0 auto';

It's quite exciting how far we've come from the modern exposition of world models by David Ha and Jürgen Schmidhuber in 2018 https://worldmodels.github.io/

Here's a Dockerfile that will spin up postgres with pgvector and paradedb https://gist.github.com/cipherself/5260fea1e2631e9630081fb7d... You can use pgvector for the vector lookup…

I am trying to get the TLA+ tools to run completely in the browser https://github.com/tlaplus/tlaplus/tree/master/tlatools

I don't think this is bad, if you know Python then most of the code will be fine for you. I think you're probably referring to pm_reduce_collapse , but while it looks daunting at f…

I have written parsers using parser combinators in Haskell and Clojure. I find that ML-like (Haskell, OCaml, StandardML) languages generally are great at writing parsers, even hand…

One anecdote in the same vein, a couple of months ago, I wanted to parse systemd-networkd INI files in Python and the python built-in ConfigParser [0] and pytest's iniconfig parser…

I have used systemd services before to do this to run an application, I had a user created specifically for the application, and I defined the capabilities the application needed v…

That was a great book, I wonder what the 2025 equivalent of it is...

12 (13?) years ago I had also written a Naïve Bayes classifier in Perl https://github.com/cipherself/NaiveBayes_perl IIRC, next thing on my TODO list was to add vectorization. Also…

10 years ago I've implemented SCAMP (a gossip protocol) in Clojure, you might find it interesting, the implementation is quite small https://github.com/cipherself/gossip

> I recommend using the `dir` function in a REPL A while back I wrote this https://mohamed.computer/posts/python-internals-cpython-byte... , perhaps it's interesting for people who…

Assuming that's what he meant, why would it be considered baseline versus anything else? I am genuinely curious because I'd like to know more about issues people face with this or …

Moreover, you can have SICP inside emacs by just downloading a package from Melpa: https://melpa.org/#/sicp

Got it, I think this might make sense for a "conversation" type of search not for an instant search feature because lowest latency is gonna be too high IMO.

S3 Vectors is hands down the SOTA here SOTA for what? Isn't it just a vector store?

I am working on search but rather for text-to-image retrieval, nevertheless, I am curious if by that's all baked into Azure AI search you also meant synthetic query generation from…

While I haven’t tried --pull=missing, I have tried --pull=never, which I assume is a stricter version and it was still attempting the HEAD request.

I’ll admit I haven’t checked before posting, perhaps an admin can merge both submissions and change the URL on the one you linked to the one in this submission.

In the case where you still have an image locally, trying to build will fail with an error complaining about not being able to load metadata for the image because a HEAD request fa…
