H2JVM – A Haskell Library for Writing JVM Bytecode

Hi everyone! I have been working on a new library for writing JVM bytecode with Haskell in a nice, high level way and I’d love some feedback on it! The motivation here is for compilers to the JVM so they can focus on the actual code generation, meanwhile H2JVM takes care of all the messy details like StackMapTable analysis, label/offset resolution, etc. Here is a quick example taken from the ...

Passing DBs through continuations

The author describes a shortcut to improve database performance using a technique called continuation-passing style (CPS), which allows operators to compose into tightly fused operations automatically. This approach is used in the Prela database, which maps cleanly to both a logical Entity/Relationship data model and a columnar physical storage, and achieves fast columnar execution when compiled.

FrontierCode

https://cognition.ai/images/frontier-code/false-positive-negative-rates.svg
FrontierCode is a benchmark that measures AI models' ability to write high-quality, maintainable code by assessing end-to-end code quality, correctness, and mergeability. Current models struggle to meet this new standard, with even the best-performing model achieving only 13.4% on the most challenging tasks.

I'm building a parallel internet, and it's called The Thinnernet

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6x-X2Kjvpr1I7S4COADE-lq87xg3w-txwJ8EvYT8qvRF9RavaID0hZQkgkzPkGN4dBJGL8QSqG0CsOSuOgAJZ14tvPZQKoaMblfZgc1kY2GZ_nplMCGl1PDu8lFYD04tzfhJiLdmDisq2Ad1gzHUEa-1FbFpgAPiYsPsKrYMgG5xVSBsO5RrZyS12_L-R
The author proposes a concept called Thinnernet, which aims to provide a predictable user experience across different internet speeds by minimizing data transfer and prioritizing essential data. This idea is inspired by Steve Jobs' focus on user experience and is seen as a necessary adaptation to the internet's current limitations and the need for a more energy-efficient way to access the web.

AI is slowing down
