Having witnessed forums languishing and closing down, and attempts to open up new ones with almost nobody signing up, I wonder if the reluctance of giving away credentials is a gen…

Fedi review sites (neodb/reviewdb, bookwyrm) make use of JSON-LD in a big way. Their entire data federation is based on ActivityStreams and JSON-LD, and so is the review data they …

Are you referring to ActivityPub traffic (Mastodon, etc.)? Yes they're nominally using JSON-LD, but actually most devs seem to not have understood that ActivityStreams is just a pr…

Indeed a very odd sight between WC matches. I don't normally watch much TV, but I think this warrants further investigation and inquiry. No mention of long-term stake of EU in Acti…

Unfortunately, epub and epubcheck isn't the great uncontroversial resource the author makes it out to be. When W3C, Inc. took over maintenance of the EPub spec around when 3.1 was …

3.13 broke most of the C API 3.14 broke GC I guess these kinds of priorities are exactly why Python is not my favorite programming language and why you have tens of Python versions…

Do people use python for new projects apart from ML stuff which hasn't moved to all-native yet? My experience with Python is a really bad one for professional work: it's chaotic an…

Just to clarify, this requires Mac OS 26 Tahoe for "container" doesn't it? So those of us holding out on Sequoia who can't stand the broken glass UI or what's called and the other …

I only have used the power connector on a Surface Go tablet but have really no complaints. I've never been much of an MS person, but with that thing Windows (10) certainly left on …

Not familiar with Erlang that much, but it's pretty clear Erlang was prototyped on Prolog because of its convenient facilities for DSLs using op/3 to define new tokens for its buil…

"Planning, optimization, diagnostics, and complex configuration" [1] Prolog also works extremely well as a target language for code generation by LLMs for these domains due to it b…

Prolog is actually a perfect fit for all kinds of adventure, role playing, strategy, and classic board/card games, with clauses representing game rules and facts representing the g…

> Here is a stack machine that [instead of addition] implements subtraction, based on the mode assignment i/o/i [without changing the code already used for addition]. (You might ha…

Tested gemma4 26 MoE 4bit quantisized gguf on llama.cpp following these guides with mmap'd I/O on a 16GB MBP and it was unbearably slow (0.0 t/s).

Not every fscking story has to be about AI.

Windows until 24H2 (when Edge and the last remnants of IE were replaced by Chrome) supported HTML apps [1], introduced with Windows 98 Active Desktop. They weren't used much but ac…

You must go back to the drawing board and rely on highly-regulated Telecom standards (that's why they were mandated in the first place!) not monopolistic defacto "best practices" y…

Not sure who the target audience for this is? ActivityPub (Mastodon etc) has already very granular permissions wrt. who to federate with, which posts to make public, edit or withdr…

For LLMs and other pure memory-bound workloads, but for eg. diffusion models their FPU SIMD performance is lacking.
