That’s very elegant, thanks!

I’ve been working on a very similar sync problem and hit this too. I think the way forward is to use a broadcast channel to elect an individual worker that communicates with all ot…

The filler tokens actually do make them think more. Even just allowing the models to output "." until they are confident enough to output something increases their performance. Of …

You can still have a framework-specific render tree that maps to the DOM that tracks changes with signals instead of diffing. We’re just saying that there’s no requirement for diff…

The biggest benefit to this is that it makes one of the slowest parts of virtual DOM diffing (longest common subsequence) no longer required. After this becomes supported in the ma…

With ~2/3 (and growing) of Earth’s land area being arid, you’d expect there to be a lot more interest in reverse-desertification. It’s pretty well established by now that it’s almo…

The key is topological sorting of a dependency graph. This can be done implicitly by storing a reactive variable node’s depth once it is created, and just making sure that updates …

My memory says that there’s a “Chinchilla” paper showing how to make the best model with a given training budget. There’s a trade-off between the amount of training data and the si…

Exactly - the twitter thread would be really improved if everyone read an introduction to information theory. There are 1024 bits of information in a kilobit, and that's enough inf…

I made a library in which state management started the same way. A simple approach is great for performance-sensitive parts and it's easy to write, but there is very little helpful…

I just wanted to use a concrete example of a featural writing system. It would of course not be Hangul if it had to accommodate all phonemes. The other direction to take would be t…

What about a Hangul inspired version of IPA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul

I initially thought that “if” should be the obvious choice, ignoring sass entirely. However, it’s clear that “when” makes more sense than “if” given CSS’s interpretation anyways. “…

I’m on my phone so I can’t really give this the response that it’s owed, but most of what I want to say is that I don’t think we disagree as much as you think. My mention of langua…

I’m aware of math being entirely useful outside of programming - my little rant is more about how little programming is inspired by math

Very nice; you get to the practical lesson of it in a fairly straightforward manner while keeping interesting tangents where they aren’t distracting.

Somewhat unrelated to this link, but I really think that it’s interesting how much effort we put into the theory side of languages/types - with almost no one in industry applying t…

Just in case you or anyone doesn’t know, pinch to zoom on touchpads is exposed as just scrolling with the control key held down. You can listen for it with the wheel event and look…

Why do we impose hierarchy so much in file systems? We already allow hard and soft links, so it’s not even a tree anyways. Why not just allow any reference types you want; no name …

It is, nix is more declarative than a dockerfile and can even optimize the layers based on the dependency graph. See https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images for a go…

This shows a funny way that the word invent has shifted in meaning. Invent means “found” (almost literally “came upon” in Latin) - yet for some reason it shifted to mean “created” …
