Same here. We used LMC [1] before we moved to a real architecture. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Man_Computer
I think the problem is our traditional notions of "understanding" and "intelligence" fail us. I don't think we understand what we mean by "understanding". Whatever the LLM is doing inside, it's far removed from what a…
Oh, that is extremely interesting!! It would be great to hear more about this!
Nreal looks great! Shame Linux support is not there yet, but given SteamDeck it must be coming!
Pretty cool! From having used immersed [1] for a little bit, I really enjoyed having my desktop inside VR. However, the weight of Oculus was just impracticable, could not do an 8 hour shift with it. This sounds much…
I also love wgrep. [1] [1] https://melpa.org/#/wgrep
Are you familiar with Numenta and Hawkins? Place and grid cells are very important to their theory.
Great point. And this will soon be available directly from Clang tools such as clangd, which will make life much easier.
Very cool, will be great to teach networking to my kids. Thanks for the hard work!
Good point. Especially since the final destination is to merge into Postgres mainline in the future, it would make more sense to call this Oriole Storage Engine...
Great post, with lots of interesting things to improve my workflow! My progression has been 1) rest client 2) org-mode with blocks 3) verb-mode. However, I think most of what is mentioned can be applied equally to…
This article reminded me of The Last Lecture [1] by Randy Pausch - one of the best books I've ever read. Highly recommended. [1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Lecture-Printing-Publisher-Har...
This is a great post, thanks for sharing.
I'd like to put forward a controversial opinion, if I may: I do not think adding Rust to the Linux kernel is a good idea; and I suspect this project will struggle as soon as the financial backing is removed. First, a…
Indeed, sounds very interesting. However, from their github [1]: > NOTE: The BetrFS prototype currently only works on the 3.11.10 kernel. This is a tad limiting, hopefully they will port it to latest... [1]…
Great work. I think newcomers will appreciate this.
I think the biggest problem with Emacs is that you cannot really make sense of a lot of stuff until you start programming elisp in anger. I tried for many years to copy and paste snippets etc, but now I realised you…
In Emacs I have tens of eshells open, not to mention SSH sessions, etc! I use one shell per task and then context switch using Emacs buffer switching machinery.
Actually, may I say it was the same for most eastern Europeans. Most of the programmers I know in Portugal started with a ZX Spectrum.
oh, how exciting! time for a dist-upgrade tonight then!! :-)
OK I am still parsing the pre-print, but their approach seems very interesting. And equally interesting would be to see what happens if you apply HTM [1] to the same inputs model, e.g.: > We next applied our paradigm to…
Oh yes, without a doubt. Even if you compare the level of teaching in my life time, from the 80s when I was in primary school to now it has improved dramatically. Portugal was really a developing country all the way up…
As a Portuguese citizen, I was not exposed to Russian mathematics during my entire academic career until I entered university. Whilst slightly better than the UK, our educational system was also not brilliant when it…
Very interesting. There was also the old Drepper paper, which was very good but this seems more accessible. [1] [1] https://akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
Amazing. I wonder if there has been an update since 2020, in particular with regards to mass-production...
