Delty is building AI Staff Engineer trained on codebases and system history to help engineering teams design enterprise software. The company is looking for full-stack engineers with AI/ML experience to work alongside Google engineers and contribute to high-impact projects.
You worked on generating synthetic engine data and creating fonts using LLMs during your research fellowship at A*Star Singapore. You found LLMs limited in creating animations and fonts, requiring manual preprocessing and post-processing to achieve desired results.
The user discusses collaborative editing algorithms, specifically Operational Transformation (OT) and Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDT), and their trade-offs, complexities, and limitations. The user proposes a simple OT algorithm using tombstones and a central server, and compares it to other algorithms, including CRDT, deOPT, and ST-Undo, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
Zig's designers have introduced a new approach to asynchronous I/O that hides operations behind a generic interface called Io. This allows for fine control over asynchronous operations without adding complexity to the language.
The article discusses SQLite's performance and scalability, arguing that its single writer and embedded nature are not deficiencies but allow it to scale well. It uses Clojure code examples to demonstrate how to achieve decent write throughput with SQLite.
Lidar technology uses light to measure distance and bearing, creating 3D points that help autonomous vehicles and robots perceive their environment. There are various lidar types, including direct detection, modulated lidar, and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidar, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of ranging accuracy, cost, and complexity.
A strict cell phone ban in a Florida school district led to higher test scores, particularly for male students and in middle and high schools. The ban also reduced unexcused absences and disciplinary actions, contributing to improved test scores.
Zenroom is a tiny, secure, fully isolated, open source, virtual machine that runs on any platform, even on a chip or a web page. It performs cryptography (signatures, hash, zkp, homomorphic, post-quantum […]) on multiple curves, blockchain intereoperability and general computation. Zenroom supports signatures and pairing with most elliptic curves, see the full list here. The curves SECP256K1, ...
A user extracted a document from Claude 4.5 Opus, which appears to be a training document for the model. The document outlines Anthropic's mission and goals for Claude, including being safe, beneficial, and understandable.
A charge pump is an efficient voltage regulator that uses a voltage doubler circuit to produce a higher voltage. It can be implemented using a flying capacitor that transfers charge between two capacitors in series, allowing a steady current to flow through a load.
YesNotice is a website that notifies users via email or SMS when something they care about changes from no to yes. It periodically checks the status of items and sends notifications when a change occurs, with customizable frequency and notification methods.
Mistral 3 is a next-generation AI model with three state-of-the-art small models and Mistral Large 3, a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 675B parameters. It's released under Apache 2.0 license for open-source use.
The author, a mom and engineer, is concerned about the impact of AI on college kids' job prospects, citing research that shows companies adopting AI hire juniors 13% less and early-career folks experience greater unemployment.
You're releasing the Advent of Compiler Optimisations project, a daily series from Dec 1-25, covering C/C++ optimisations in x86-64 and ARM.
Code Wiki is a platform that maintains a continuously updated wiki for code repositories, unlocking vital knowledge in complex source code. It integrates a chat and generates interactive documentation, diagrams, and links to relevant code files.
Compilers use the x86's memory addressing system to work around its limitation of having a maximum of two operands per instruction. They use the lea instruction to calculate the address of memory, effectively allowing three-operand addition and specifying the destination register.
