Wow okay I need to try this out.

Nothing against what you are doing. That’s awesome and exactly the kind of thing I would nerd out about. I was just commenting on my current state of not having the mental bandwidt…

As a new father, just using so many apps sounds exhausting, let alone building and maintaining them. I would have been very excited about these maybe 10-15 years ago. Now I just wa…

The website is martinfowler.com, but the article seems to be written by Giles Edwards-Alexander.

The human analogy would be that I don’t remember everything in the books I have read, but I do recall reading a particular book and can always look it up. So, is there a way to tra…

My father worked in the HPCL refinery in Chembur. I got to go visit on Republic day when I was a kid, but they stopped doing visits. He worked in the distillation tower at first, b…

As a young grad student, I remember going to a talk by Bennett where he explained how a Quantum Computer allows manipulation in a 2^N dimensional hilbert space, while the outputs m…

I feel like there’s a lesson to be learnt by reading Lord of the Rings and seeing what happens to Saruman and Denethor.

I don't think we get rid of the CPU. But the relationship will be inverted. Instead of the CPU calling the GPU, it might be that the GPU becomes the central controller and builds p…

What if we create a situation in a lab that can be labelled as a collapse of the wave function by interaction with a macroscopic object. Except the macroscopic object is under our …

There’s papers that “derive” Born’s rule from the many worlds interpretations, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.7907 I don’t claim to understand them though. I have tried.

What you said here makes sense. Forgive me, but I have trouble even articulating what it is that I don’t understand correctly. Maybe what I meant was this: if I perform a quantum e…

The part that I have trouble wrapping around with many worlds interpretation is how I as an observer end up in one of the many bifurcations. Any links you can share that will help …

I agree. My suspicion is that token efficiency is what will drive more efficient tool calls, and tool building. And we want that. Agents should rely less on raw intelligence (abili…

These seem ideal for robotics applications, where there is a low-latency narrow use case path that these chips can serve, maybe locally.

I had the same question. Maybe the train is software that's built by SWEs (w/ or w/o AI help). Specifically built for going from A to B very fast. But not flexible, and takes a lot…

I didn’t think of that, but you are right. At some point I thought I understood templates r-value references work but now I’ve forgotten.

Maybe a std::take to pair with it?

Maybe a compiler error that a const object cannot be “moved”? That would force the programmer to remove the std::move, making it clear that its a copy.

How strict was your elimination of sugar? Did you find a gradual trend of your lipid profile over the course of a year, or was it more sudden?

Pre LLM agents, a trick that I used was to type in auto var = FunctionCall(...); Then, in the IDE, hover over auto to show what the actual type is, and then replace auto with that …

"I personally don’t touch LLMs with a stick. I don’t let them near my brain. Many of my friends share that sentiment." Any software engineer who shares this sentiment is doing thei…

Right, but it needs to be formalized.

The reason code can serve as the source of truth is that it’s precise enough to describe intent, since programming languages are well-specified. Compilers have freedom in how they …

Found an article which talks about the phase margin, referencing 80 degrees (pi). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_margin
