It's not just AI. The whole business of academic publishing is a mess. Can't imagine anyone outside academia wanting to get there. In theory, it should have been a bridge between p…

The alternative is to use your network directly. The very notion of "I'll publish my work and someone will notice me" is wrong. Most people in academia are too concentrated on thei…

I'm exploring triply periodic but non-minimal surfaces. https://codeberg.org/okaleniuk/faitps Triply periodic minimal surfaces are the golden standard in thermal management, acoust…

Classics! There is a different take on Lisp in Python - fakelisp. It's literally Lisp in Python, not an interpreter, but a syntax sugar library that allows embedding Lisp snippets …

This is one of the most unexpected ecranisations ever. The book is great on its own, but I would never assumed it could become a film. The topic itself is a bit heavy, and I someho…

Walking doesn't change as often as C++ standard.

There should be a lesson for other communities but, unfortunately, there is none. StackOverflow used to be a fun and welcoming place in 2009. It became a toxic hellhole overtime Th…

I exploit the similar idea for teaching: https://lnkd.in/gsySKda4 Students are lazy, in a good way, so they are more likely to run things on their own and play with interactive bit…

AI will definitely make more people thing about verification. Formal or otherwise.

I'm working on a collection of stackable interactive slides for teaching numerical methods and operational research. https://okaleniuk.codeberg.page/blackboard/ The idea here is, o…

The most interesting thing in this whole picture is not AGI, it's how the collective intelligence works. CEOs claim the AGI is near because that's how they manipulate the public. B…

Nokia snake is a pinnacle of technology really. It all rolls down hill from there.

Fun fact, there were no commercials in the USSR. No TV advertisements as a genre, so nobody knew how to make these. And one of the first Soviet commercials I saw was already during…

The Fiat 124 was actually a pretty good car for its era. Russians improved its suspension, refitted the engine, and messed up the hydraulics. Still, pretty good car for the 60s. An…

Is software an engineering discipline at all? There are plenty of activities that are essential for engineering but not a sort of engineering themselves. Like writing documentation…

Well, yes, but after the 75 years, don't you think that "too young" argument is getting old? Nuclear energy, medical imaging, and the space part of aerospace are all younger than "…

Maybe this is today . Because, you know, AWS is down.

Most of the startups actually plan to survive for more than 2 months. And it makes total sense to think about scalability, reliability, and performance while it's still possible to…

Yes, reliability comes from the same ground the scalability does, and yes people are mostly chasing the latest trend. One does not contradict the other.

It's definitely a step in the right direction. But wouldn't the next step be vanilla JS and any-script-managed HTML?

Some safety critical real time systems have strict time predictability requirements. This means that the whole loop should pass in exactly X microsecond, not more not less. For thi…

Engineers believe in definitions. By definition, philosophy is not a scientific discipline, because as soon as a discipline becomes scientific it... stops being philosophy. As Alex…

Sure! I'm not saying that philosophy is bad. Maybe making software just never meant to become an engineering discipline. I mean making clothes, laws, and music isn't. And it's fine…
