The user, a DevOps engineer, found that using AI to write Lisp code was much harder and more expensive than using Python due to Lisp's REPL nature and lack of training data. This experience led the user to consider rewriting their project in Go, highlighting the impact of AI on language popularity and the "Worse is Better" phenomenon in software development.
A putative love song could instill varying levels of hatred. 158 just because many participants in one culture agree'sad' doesn't prove universal affect 4 log2(0) = 0 - so there is no entropy in the process of removing the noise from the signal if you want to change the amplitude of the frequency shifted 152 db / s 156 khz eq
OpenScreen is a free app for making product demos and walkthroughs, offering basic features without the cost of Screen Studio. It's open-source and free for personal and commercial use, but may require terminal commands for macOS setup.
The only number validation API you'll ever need. One number. One truth. Zero compromises.
The author shares personal experiences and advice on living authentically, making choices, and overcoming insecurities to achieve success and happiness. They emphasize the importance of self-love, taking action, and being true to oneself, rather than trying to prove intelligence or seeking external validation.
Functional programming fixes AI agent code issues by eliminating mutable state, hidden dependencies, and entangled side effects. SUPER and SPIRALS frameworks provide code principles and a structured process to ensure reliable automated modification and prevent debugging nightmares.
You tried to explain Microsoft Copilot but found multiple uses of the name, leading to confusion. You created a map of all 75+ Copilots, grouped by category, but couldn't find a pattern.
Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot. Some privacy related extensions may cause issues on x.com. Please disable them and try again.
An Amazon/AWS engineer reported a Linux 7.0 kernel regression halving PostgreSQL performance due to user-space spinlock issues. A proposed fix is for PostgreSQL to adapt to the Linux 7.0 change by using the Restartable Sequences (RSEQ) time slice extension.
The author used mngr to create a workflow that runs and improves itself by testing its own demo script, and then scaled up to hundreds of agents on Modal. This workflow is a small map reduce pipeline that can be easily scaled up or down, making it a valuable tool for small teams and large tech conglomerates alike.
8 harmony modes with real counterpoint rules. Palestrina, Bach, Jazz, Free. 28 scale modes. Deterministic voicing. Native desktop via Tauri. Browser via WebAssembly. Server mode for studios. Same Rust core everywhere. MIT licensed. Counterpoint rules are centuries of human knowledge. They should be accessible to every musician.
You designed zero-power hackathon badges for the Overglade hackathon in Singapore using RP2040, NFC, and e-ink. The boards are easy to set up and manufacture, with costs starting at around $100 for 5 units.
01 Execute Racket programs and see output as it's produced. Everything runs locally on your device. 03 Understands Racket forms like define, let, and cond. Includes a keyboard row for brackets and common keywords. 06 Run scripts from your home screen or automate them with Shortcuts. Opens .rkt files from Files.
Shared LLM access via cohort subscriptions
The user shares various personal websites and projects, including a schedule maker, game websites, and indie internet index. These websites showcase a range of topics, from education and games to art and personal projects.
The article discusses coding agents, which are software systems that use large language models (LLMs) to perform coding tasks, and explains how they work by collecting information, packaging it into prompts, and executing tools to improve usability and reliability. The six main components of coding agents include repo view, stable prompt prefix, tool access, context compaction, structured ...
Last week’s note has drawn so much attention that a follow-up is in order. To quickly recap, I argued that even though Meta’s $20 billion/year VR project is now pretty much dead, and seemingly so is most of the current VR market, the fundamental technology is here to stay. The technology industry may have moved on to AI, but the virtual reality concept is so deeply embedded in human ...
TurboQuant is a vector compression library that achieves near-optimal distortion rate with ~4.5 bits/dim compression. It supports fast dot product and decoding without decompression.
Apple is allowing a driver to be signed, eliminating the need to disable System Integrity Protection. The driver is designed for LLMs and can be compiled with Docker.
The Droste effect is a recursive image embedding where a smaller version of an image is placed inside itself, creating a theoretically infinite spiral. This effect can be achieved by transforming the image's coordinates from cartesian to polar and then rotating in polar space.
Modern AI models like Claude Sonnet 4.5 develop internal representations of emotions that influence their behavior, even if they don't truly feel emotions like humans do. These "functional emotions" can be used to predict and shape model behavior, and understanding them is crucial for ensuring AI systems behave reliably and safely.
In meetings, proposing an idea requires imagination and courage, while shooting it down requires minimal effort and no imagination. Criticism can prevent mistakes, but it's about preservation, not creation, and only ideas can create value.
[WIP, 2026-04-01] This is an experiment in clarifying some aspects of Ruby syntax and semantics. For that we're going to introduce an alternative Lisp-based syntax for Ruby, preserving Ruby semantics. As I started working on this, I had to find a better explanation for some aspects of Ruby than what is available in standard documentation. So we also discuss some aspects of standard Ruby ...
The Index of Coincidence (IC) attack is a method to crack Enigma codes without a crib, using the statistical properties of the German language to identify the correct rotor settings. The IC attack requires decrypting the entire message for every candidate setting, which is slower than a crib-based attack but can be done on a Commodore 64 in 82 hours, producing 18,165 candidates.
You found a 1975 Encyclopaedia Britannica set and discovered unusual trees like mangroves, banyans, and ombús. These trees have unique features such as massive canopies, hollow leaves, and extraordinary seeds.
A large language model can improve at code generation using its own raw outputs through simple self-distillation, which fine-tunes the model on its own samples. This method improves model performance on harder problems and generalizes across different model scales and variants.
A 20-year WordPress veteran is skeptical about the idea of migrating to AI-generated sites, citing concerns about vendor lock-in, dependency hell, and the potential loss of control over site management. They argue that AI can enhance existing CMS capabilities, rather than replacing them.
We built an end-to-end protein AI pipeline covering structure prediction, sequence design, and codon optimization using CodonRoBERTa-large-v2. This pipeline outperformed ModernBERT and scaled to 25 species with a species-conditioned system.
