Why Janet? (2023) 2 months ago

if those are the reason why you love janet, then you will love tcl because you will be able to do all the same things without drowning in parenthesis and weird syntax.

how is this a dark pattern? say that you bought a subscription of new york times for a year and put it on monthly installment. can you bail out of paying the credit card company after six months? only here, both the product and credit card company is adobe. in fact adobe is being generous by letting you "cough up" only a half the fee where your credit card company wouldn't. at this rate all credit companies are "dark pattern peddlers" according to you? adobe is pretty clear on the name of the subscription, "yearly subsciption, payed monthly" in big letters at the top of their pricing page.

if you want a stable chimera linux as a daily driver, go to voidlinux.org. chimera linux started as a void linux fork until it became it's own thing. they share the same dna. cbuild started as a xbps-src fork.

Non-native speaker here. Is the phrasing of the blog title awkward or am I the only one? Seems like they are using "10x" as a verb and my brain kept parsing "10x" as a adjective to developer, reading "10x developer" which is a already established industry lingo.

This is the standard playbook. And the gov just pulled a switcheroo:

Policy that is hard to pass: SIM binding for all messenger apps and automatic log out every 6 hours for desktop apps.

Even more egregious policy: Pre-install spyware that cannot be disabled.

Withdraw the egregious policy on outrage, and people think they have won the battle.

Google's engineers when they were copying Java API for Davlik (and later ART), they had access to and consulted Java source code. The infamous Oracle v. Google judgement siding Google set precedent at the highest level, SCOTUS that looking at the code is not an issue.

So, it doesn't matter if a AI can or cannot do clean room implementation. Unless it is a patent or trade secret violation, cleam room implementation doesn't matter.

Has it caught up to ugrep in terms of backward compatibility and speed yet?

I am think you are misunderstanding the entire premise of git. There is no "force push to trunk breaks every other developers' working copy." There is no central repo/trunk where all the commits are pushed. You are probably thinking of svn.

In git, your repo is the canonical repo and that is where you work. You work on a new feature and when you are ready, you "git format-patch" and "git send-email" to the community via the mailing list or other developers. A discussion may happen and people may or may not decide to apply the patch to their own repositories, with "git am." This doesn't break every other developers' working copy because they decide how to apply the patches they got in their email. No central repo, no trunk, guaranteed by the d in git dvcs.

It's not a website a search engine can crawl but anyone on the internet can log all the messages on IRC as long as they want without any restrictions. In fact if you are nice, you will never need to login and can have conversation for as long as you want with a guest login. It is not a walled garden.

Hi. I'm a PhD candidate with my projects wrapped up (a pending journal revision before I can formally graduate, and therefore available full-time) working mostly in 3D model reconstruction of temples of size 20-50 meters. I have worked in computer graphics/vision projects in academia (funded by govt and industry), I'm looking forward to switch to industry. I bring mathematical knowledge and experience working with large amount of data and good grasp of statistical modeling, and programming with all the usual libraries. Please email me only if you are looking to work on computer graphics/vision problems.

People waste so many hours watching these types of video where the presenter talks a lot around the problem (has lots of fluff, comedy skit and ads). I think the presenter should have used this opportunity to introduce random variables, independence, Tschebyscheff inequality and explained the "bizzare" puzzle.

Or if you are going to do this with simulation, then a introduction to Monte Carlo methods, and why such simulations work and provide correct results would have been a better us of viewer's time.

But videos like this just state a fact and then handwave around the fact without hitting the core idea. The viewer leaves with a false sense of understanding, and keep wondering about the "bizzare" fact, when it is nothing but good ol' introductory probability. YouTube math needs reform.

At this point, I am afraid that you will never be able to switch to Linux completely. You know what they say, can't teach old dog new tricks. Linux has it's issues and Windows also has it's own issues. You have to choose which ones you can live with one you cannot.

For me, I use a FHD display where 100% scaling looks the best and also it's the small things I cannot live without, like Super+drag to drag/scale windows from anywhere, middle-click paste, powerful POSIX shells (yes, yes I know PowerShell, too old to learn a new shell), etc. But I cannot live with Windows privacy nightmare, mouse-heavy desktop environment.

Just do use what you like. Just have fun computing.

Will this actually stop any LLM or poison the data or do nothing? Interesting that he added this on his blogs.

When you throw a balloon of colored water at a wall, the impression it makes on the wall is called a splat. Say you have a function which takes a point in 3d and outputs a density value which goes to zero as you move away to infinity from the from the functions location (mean) like a bell curve (literally), and you throw (project) that function to plane (your camera film), you get a splat.

Note: I've made some simplifying assumption in the above explanation.
