I call an electrician to change a wall switch since an unlicensed handyman making a mistake that starts an electrical fire voids my home insurance. Plumbing is fractionally less regulated where I am and I am allowed to…
I tried #2 from here in Australia, but the experience was incredibly poor despite fibre to the home at 500mb/s. You'd be better off buying one of the gaming mini-PCs with 32GB DDR5 and a 760/780M iGPU for ~3-4yrs worth…
How often do you get that sort of crime attended to and resolved satisfactorily?
Quantity is a form of quality. There's a vast number of operators who won't even look at their site when its performance craters due to a scrum of crypto miners all competing for resources. Why waste time on…
The list represents the possible parses and the remaining input for each. In most cases you might prefer an unambiguous grammar, so a successful parse is a singleton list of a pair of the full parsed result with an…
You’re going to write a monad and alternative instance for whatever structure you use. A list is a Cartesian product, but that’s just the join of parser B over each remaining input of parser A, it’s still a one-liner.…
A parser for a thing Is a function from a string To a list of pairs Of strings and things.
I think these days it's easier to run Steam in Wine than it is to run Wine in the first place. If you're running a commercial packaging of Wine for gaming, both things are trivial. (Successfully running Windows games is…
It seems like, once the IPO is done, this flood of papers will dry right up: the inherent value of the papers themselves is unlikely to justify the cost to churn them out. It makes as much sense as OpenAI churning out…
I gave it a go and imported a transaction CSV from my bank - National Australia Bank. 150 row CSV. The Description import column was assigned to the Merchant Name CSV column (the Merchant import column was also assigned…
It's a native desktop app, so none of the above.
If some LLM somewhere managed to produce a coherent and _correct_ explanation of how it worked inside, but no human ever saw it, would it matter? We know how to apply LLms to problems, which is a subtly different thing…

Source: Australian, with teenager. 1. It's not a ban on using social media, it's a requirement for age verification to create an account. This only limits usage on the few platforms that force an account to do anything.…
Chinese mini PCs are also affected: they're shipping with less RAM, at higher prices, or both.
I pay for my tokens for my own projects, at least when the ones Google seems willing to keep throwing at me for free don't cut it. I'd think that's not too uncommon, especially here where there's likely a high ratio of…
If the phone support issued the decrypt code, you could just replay that same code for every CD stamped from the same master. If phone support issued an encrypted decrypt code that could only be used with your challenge…
Maybe. There's less wiggle room though. You can't make a clone of a WCH, ESP32, GD32V, or RP2040 at a low enough price point to really profit from the gap. If Quintauris successfully makes a RISC-V range for automotive…
You used to be able to do surprising things with those old speakers using a timer interrupt: on an IBM XT it was possible to get 8kHz quality out of it, enough to make 4-channel MOD playback sound about as good as…
Codebases written by native English speakers are almost exclusively ASCII, but codebases written by speakers of languages other than English frequently have non-ASCII content, even if only in the comments, but languages…
Thanks for the link to SPJ's notes, I'll read that tomorrow. Equivalence of terms is an efficient tool for verification; I suspect that isn't really in the set of goals for Fuse, though.
Also, it was super common practice to just go direct to undocumented internals. You didn't have a clean API to duplicate, you had all the untamed glory of a CPU with no MMU to deal with, and all the programs that did…
CP/M-86 was definitely a thing, but CP/M-386 was not. By the time the 386 existed, DRI had dropped the CP/M name in favour of Concurrent DOS - though they had MS-DOS compatibility in Concurrent CP/M - and, as you say,…
Can you expand on your understanding of GRIN doing parts of supercompilation? As I understand it, GRIN doesn't do any supercompilation; it's a structural transformation optimiser built for functional languages,…
It's nice to see a GRIN backend in the wild! It looks like a tidy little functional language - a small, easily grasped syntax surface and generally clear semantics. That you've got it to the point that it can compile…
