There are many ways of thinking and reasoning about the profession and what it means to each and every one of us. Some of the buckets: * The builders, don't care how they get the r…

Might not be for everyone, but using git to index markdown notes + linking it against cloud storage like dropbox/icloud to have it available on phones/tables have served me well ov…

I think the best approach to take with personal knowledge bases or any knowledge data, is to have the ability to bring your data in and out as one pleases. In my flow, I use a hybr…

I would like to add the thought of looking at where these elliptic curves are deployed, things like embedded devices and implementations bitcoin-core libraries for say secp256k1 [0…

Thanks for sharing Shane, and nice to see companies engaged with the community on a technical level!

For personal use: What works is a good plain old rss. Delivered to my client of choice, via gui or cli. Skipping ads and clickbait articles to save me time. With a wave of generate…

I think it is so important to be able to disconnect from whatever it is that we are doing, even for a very short period of time. Go for a walk, brew a coffee or simply close your e…

To go a bit deeper, while still keeping it at a very high level what changes were made between each generation: PCIe 1.0 & PCIe 2.0: Encoding: 8b/10b PCIe 2.0 -> PCIe 3.0 transitio…

I think a quick 2-minute read on the changes around each generation gen1 -> gen4 example from 2016 will make it a bit clearer [0]. Things like packet encoding etc. Then a quick loo…

Not my area at all, just passing by and wondering to the extent and how they use knowledge graphs for drug discovery. Some time back I had a peek at AstraZeneca's GitHub [0] and go…

Extra links for the no gil work for anyone else curious about this [0], [1]. [0] Multithreaded Python without the GIL https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CXhDb1ygxg-YXNBJNzfzZsD..…

Lots of other great answers, another one I came across recently is FinGPT[0]. For backtesting there is zipline [1], but doesn't look like it's maintained anymore. [0] FinGPT: Open-…

Awesome reply, and thank you for the well put together answer linking to resources and for sharing your experience. For Cortex-A8 from [4] and the others you have linked, It makes …

Got me curious regarding ARM latency, wonder if that was related to particular instructions which added more latency or transfers between the registers/memory subsystem internals. …

This is great! What a lovely read. Reminds me back of my teenage years mesmerised by software/hardware synths, daws and everything and anything related to audio tech. Hours spent t…

Useful when you want to have multiple git accounts changing based on the path. Thanks for the share! In my case it was changing the ssh key based on the project folder.

Enjoyed reading it! Great overview of different concepts involved while building DB's. From mentioning SIMD to squeeze out performance on a single machine all the way to consensus …

That's the thing with details; sometimes you don't know the extent or context in which they will occur. Your perceptiveness at a particular moment could determine a good or not-so-…

I think the real world latency numbers will be interesting to see with PCIe 6.0/7.0 since adopting PAM4 modulation allows the greater bandwidth. [0] Why Did PCIe 6.0 Adopt PAM4? Th…

CXL and its coherency mechanisms will be interesting to watch as the requirements for LLMs and related applications requiring large memory pools continue to grow. This includes som…

Started on a standard generic office chair sitting for hours. Then decided that an ergonomic big-name brand chair would be my silver bullet. The next step, sit/stand desk. But stil…

Indeed! I recently tried some basic examples from the likes of SiliconCompiler and related projects and found myself reading up and going down the rabbit hole of open-source hardwa…

Under 3.1 Allocator Interface, there is a great point about reducing wear levelling by rebalancing the B+ tree operations to reduce the number of writes thus extending the lifespan…
