Looks like the hardware this runs on has only 64 KB RAM.

I think that the common meaning of AI has changed since this was written. This book was written at least 14 years ago, long before anyone had heard of an LLM. Matt Mahoney incorpor…

Really nice guy, also.

When decompressing, you need to reproduce the output of the LLM exactly as it was during compression, otherwise the decompressor would output gibberish. Can you count on the LLM be…

Fabrice Bellard did something with neural nets and a transformer model [1] that was very successful. I suspect that LLMs wouldn't be ideal to use as compressors, because they are l…

Is sel4 an OS kernel created by Jane Street?

You could write imperative code in Racket without much difficulty, as long as you don't mind the exclamation points.

Mine is GNU WoMan, an alternative to man. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/woman.ht...

Racket has packages (1) that work quite well. Chicken Scheme has Eggs. (1) https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/index.html

I think they also make money from people that don't know the difference and use it because, for instance, it's the default in Edge when you search from the URL bar.

This all reminds me of Bing. It already lost the technology race, but it serves MS's own interests to keep it around, apparently.

I started learning Common Lisp, but ASDF and Quicklisp threw me off. I couldn't tell if you were supposed to choose one or the other or they were used together. This might revive m…

Let's see if I can state this properly. The atoms of the ship will pass right through the event horizon like nothing. To see the ship, though, photons have to travel from the ship …

So you don't see _everything_ that went in before you, mostly just the _last_ thing.

A single photon can't be seen multiple times, right? So, if photon A goes into Alica's retina, then Bob can't see photon A. If a big, opaque object passes through the event horizon…

I'm going to guess. From Bob's perspective, Alice's ship would still be able to block light. So he wouldn't be able to see what was ahead of him through the back of Alice's ship; A…
