I got to meet Jef Raskin in the early 2000s when he gave a talk in Sweden. He was a fun person to chat with, lots of great ideas and the drive to work out the details.

Curse Tablets are early LLM skills?

After decades of dealing with Elsevier, Springer-Verlag and the rest; I hope they all go out of business.

I use https://garnix.io/ for all my Nix CI, works great.

I go to the library, farmer's markets, do group classes at the gym, and join groups that match my interests. I'm the same way. I require people time, and work from home wears me do…

I saw this used to obfuscate spam yesterday! Yay?

I think the solution is to launder all research papers through LLMs so the papers are no longer copyrightable, and let the rich journal owners fight with the LLM owners.

For source code diffs where a tree sitter grammar exists, difftastic is the best choice by far. It's better than you think it is. https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic No really, i…

I've read lots about content defined chunking and recently heard about monoidal hashing. I haven't tried it yet, but monoidal hashing reads like it would be all around better, does…

At the 2018(?) ICFP, I sat between John Wiegley and Conal Elliot. They talked about expressing and solving a programming problem in category theory, and then mapping the solution i…

I suspect the H pattern they mean is where the gear shift is on the steering column, not on the floor. I long ago owned a 1945 Dodge truck with that shifting setup.

When you finish the game you get the credits for who created it. There's also a threejs reference in a hard to reach area.

I put my trust in someone on a case by case basis, unless they're going to cheat someone. Then I don't trust them.

What if we train them and they leave? What if you don't and they stay?

The easiest and fastest way to get everything installed is ghcup https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/ As for being successful, there are several nice books, and several active forums. I'…

I'd say this many sensors in a wireless package can do many things. My first project would be exercise monitoring. You can measure heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body tempera…

I'd love to buy this, but I can't afford 2500 euro for a personal fun project. I have previously purchased and written[1] about the Tympan.org open source hardware hearing aid[2], …

This is super cool! I'd like to build this sort of thing myself, do you recommend any tutorials?

If Python object methods returned `self` by default instead of `None` you could do this in Python too! This is my biggest complaint about Python.

I care about the edge between "this value fails, one value over succeeds". I wish shrinking were fast enough to tell me if there are multiple edges between those values.

This sounds like graph reduction as done by https://haflang.github.io/ and that flavor of special purpose CPU. The downside of reducing a large graph is the need for high bandwidth…

I have this laptop, with 192 GB of RAM and an ADA 4000 GPU. I haven't tried LLMs but it's an amazingly powerful laptop.
