Long-time HN lurker here! Was excited to see this discussion around my major interests of Talmud, Kabbalah, and tech. There are a lot of misconceptions and mystique surrounding the Talmud. I'd like to take the opportunity to clarify some fundamental aspects, as relates to the discussion here: The famous "Talmud page" (discussed in the links in the parent comment) was set by a Christian printer in the 16th century. It…
That's awesome!! Thank you very much! I would have next asked you, what do you think of those apps for studying the Talmud, https://www.sefaria.org/app et al, but in those links you already mention it. Looking forward to reading these, thanks!
Definitely!
Sefaria is incredible, it's revolutionized access to classical texts. And their API gives full and complete access. My vibe-coded Talmud reader website fetches Talmud, Bible, and translations from Sefaria, you might be interested in checking it out :)

I've been vibe-coding it over the last few months using Replit, it's been a really cool experience

> The analogy of the Talmud to a hypertext isn't especially apt, IMO. Isn’t it? Every page of the Talmud includes marginal notes (Masoret HaShas, Ein Mishpat, Torah Or) giving cross-references to relevant parts of the Torah, Talmud and other legal codes. In a web-based version I think it would be natural to represent those with hypertext.

True, and the website "Al Hatorah" indeed does that, for the marginal notes that you list. See, for example: https://shas.alhatorah.org/Gemara/Berakhot/2a
But my point is that those marginal notes are an artifact of the 16th century print edition. It's not anything inherent in the Talmud text.
The famous 16th-century Mikraot Gedolot edition of the Bible also features extensive marginal notes (the Mesorah) which function much like a dense network of cross-references.
In fact, the Mesorah is a medieval work (drawing on ancient sources) and is arguably was one of the most elaborate systems of cross-referencing found anywhere, at the time it was promulgated.
This differs from the Talmud’s cross-referencing, which doesn't predate the printed edition (as I note in the Seforim Blog article; the page citations are reliant on the universal page numbers that started from the first print edition).
Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#54You know, I think this Explorer is exactly the tool many of us lacked. Reading the Linux kernel source always felt daunting — thousands of files, confusing paths, complex structure. This feels like a “map” that helps you orient yourself, see how parts interconnect, how VFS works, how modules tie together. Yeah, sometimes a feature breaks (API limits, errors opening directories), but even so — this is a great way to p…

#56Also: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17.9/source Elixir works better on mobile despite being around for years.
Elixir also has working tags instead of just looking at a file at a time, so it is much better at the actual exploring part.

Yes it's good idea and nicely executed. For the same reason I created a couple of projects with the same goal of lowering the barrier to entry to the linux kernel: - an app to follow the UDP packet flow in the linux kernel source code: https://dmkskd.github.io/linux-kernel-network-stack-visualiz... - a (hopefully) simple way to play with the linux kernel source code on a mac: https://github.com/dmkskd/linux-kernel-de…
I love your UDP packet flow tool, kudos for making that! I've always wondered how packets move through an OS. Also interesting how many gotos I see all over the place, even though everyone says "goto is the devil". Then again maybe this code was written long before that "proverb" came into existence.
Since you mentioned you love that, I will mention this netfilter packet flowchart by Jan Engelhardt [1]

It must be a typo. The path should actually be arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S
Re: Linux Kernel Explorer
#60when I try to open arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S. it just says: Failed to load file Failed to fetch file: File: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S maybe its a bug?
The path should be arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S
