At some point, we will no longer be mathematicians and engineers, but instead become matrix psychologists. "Do not make mistakes."
To expand on "time dilation": an EVE Online star system is served by a single compute node in their server farm at a time. Most systems are empty most of the the time, but some locations in the universe have much more…
For the non-EVE players, when you join a fleet in-game, the other members of the fleet have a purple icon next to their name. NPSI is a play-style where you join transient fleets with the express intention of getting…
Applets redux.
Nobody seems to have really embraced the truly distributed model of git, where you can expose a local repository via read-only HTTP, and collaborate by pulling from each others' repositories. No pushes. This would be…
Live within your means. Save aggressively. Invest wisely. (Source: I'm one of the 21,000, let go via a 6am email after 15 years with the company in engineering and management roles.)
I was looking for people who I had worked with at a company that was acquired 15 years ago, and some random person claims to be the CEO of that company.

Indeed. This paragraph shows something that most people really don't understand about AI. > 98. It is appropriate to preface this discussion with two considerations. First, any statement regarding AI risks becoming…
How is their RISC-V adventure going? The RP2350 included a couple of open-source Hazard3 cores. Does the RPi Foundation collect any feedback about how these are being used, and if there's any interest in developing a…
It's a money maker. Maybe not a number one spot, but they don't have to stand up any more datacenters.
"Wow, it looks amazing, honey!" -John's Mom hah!
I wonder if he had to answer a few Leetcode / Codility problems first.
It's enough of an influence that macOS APIs had (or still have) "NS" prefixes to many functions.
When my mother retired, she volunteered at the local church to transcribe and prepare 100 years of sacramental records to prepare them for digitization by the archdiocese. There were records in filing cabinets in…
I am sad to say that the latest release Neovim (0.12) no longer works properly with my VT420.
I've never been Wolfram's biggest fan, but this is a solid article. I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of the transformer architecture, and it seems that the written articles on transformer are bimodal: the either…
The MacOS built-in screenshot tool has an optional "timed delay" feature, where you can click "screenshot in 5 seconds". With that time, you can open menus, or do anything that requires events to be processed by the…

Designers are hired to make sure those light switches are put in the right place. Much of the time, it's pretty obvious. But sometimes...
I wanted an Atari VCS
This reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in the movie, wherein our protagonist is given his new identity credentials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAUcSb3PgeM
