But that's only assuming that your original data structure already has space for the algorithm to store metadata. If there's space that can be manipulated freely to store metadata, can't you just remove that space to…
What's the utility of this? It's arguably still using a stack, just encoded in the original data structure itself. If your original data structure somehow uses colors but is also fine with the algorithm overwriting with…
> text is my highest-signal communication channel I'm a little surprised by this. Due to the prevalence of spam, I favor private third-party messaging applications (slack, discord). Text messaging is about 50% garbage…
I'm on a non-touchscreen mac, on firefox with smooth scrolling turned off, and have LinearMouse installed. I tried both trackpad scrolling and mousewheel scrolling. The weird "smooth" scrolling of this website is very…
I feel like normal security issues don't get much publicity. The PHP and eMudhra issues seemed severe, and worth publicity. But then with things like this, I'm not sure. Is this a severe issue? Or is it just a run of…

This article is chock full of interesting links. The link about Kenyan English/LLMs [0] describes something that feels like it should have been obvious to me. [0]:…
I see several comments critical of this video. As someone whose only exposure to gyroscopes was the classic string-driven all-metal toy[0] when I was a kid, is this video helpful for getting a better understanding of…
It's very economically feasible if it pumps up the stock price

I don't think this article communicates any new ideas; to me the style is the unique aspect of it that makes it worth reading. If you personally don't like the style, there are many other articles portraying the same…
Yeah, BERT was cool, but IMO things like StyleGAN were equally cool. I think DALL-E was the first time that there was practical, nonphilosophical, discussion about AI replacing human industries. Maybe there was…
Diffusion models were the first gen AI tech to plausibly be able to replace humans, no? I feel like image generation was ahead of text generation 2015-2022, and prior to 2015 the best "gen AI" was markov chains which I…

I googled "good practices for ai coding" and got these two pages as the top results: https://dev.to/ranndy360/ai-coding-best-practices-in-2025-4e... https://statistician-in-stilettos.medium.com/best-practices-.... Half…
It's kind of funny how it took inventing AI for people to start caring about good software engineering practices (debuggability, iteration speed, reliability, etc.)
As the field of "computing" develops more and more high level abstractions, that necessarily reduces the amount of time that can be spend on lower-level stuff. These days I think it's typical to have one or two courses…
That makes sense, thanks. I think that matches my prior understanding, but recently people seem to talk a lot about "acquiring" ADHD, often from doomscrolling tiktok or something like that, and I wasn't sure about how…

I can see vague parallels between The Witness and AI prompting/engineering, but I'm not sure I'd describe it as training beyond the simple concept of teaching vs learning. Maybe I'm just in the category of people that…
There are enough EVs on the market these days that people can afford to include more frivolous factors into their decision making. I was in the market for an EV a few years ago. Solely because I dislike Elon and don't…
The most common vote in any presidential is an (implicit) abstention. It's very important to try to persuade centrists that you're a better candidate than the opposition, but it's also very important to persuade your…
