Citation of what? this was unpublished work! This computational blitz really just reads as "might makes right" on OpenAi's part... which isn't surprising, but they should probably be honest about what they've done h

I work at a financial company and around 2019, the break room had a magazine called “Meetings” with a front-page article about how burning man and sxsw are the next big thing in corporate culture.

My first encounter with the concept of bomb fishing was the Shapoklyak episode of the soviet cartoon Cheburashka, produced in the 70s. It's been around.

I think people are missing the point: the loudness and ostentatiousness is seen as a celebration of Asian American identity by the author. In Denver there is a similar culture surrounding low-riders and the Latino community on Federal St. B

Nice. I remember being exposed to this idea as Dyck languages , via Ed Kmett’s recorded Monoidal Parsing talk.

This reminds me of the time my middle-school history teacher decided to bring in one of the student’s financial advisor parents to defend price-gouging on gas during Hurricane Katrina evacuation and subsequent exodus. It was an unconvincing

Wow cool, you just summed up something I’ve found myself doing subconsciously in the past few years. Thanks! I use to be quite fond of short identifiers, especially ones the make the signs “line up”… until I worked with code long enough tha

Beautiful work. As an off-topic observation, whenever I see something like the phrase “operates between the public and the private space” I immediately think: this person definitely went to art school :P

Yeah no. This happens in my city and to my friends. You're making a lot of assumptions about people's experiences here.

Consider yourself lucky that you've never called the cops as a victim and then been further victimized by the police.

On the more mainstream side of things, Typescript also has a bottom type called `never` which is used to type unreachable/exceptional code.

If I had to guess: 1. lack of native GC, you had to roll your own by providing a runtime. 2. lack of tail-call elimination in V1 of the spec. This essentially forces you to trampoline everything.

It is crazy how much work comes out of Bruno Oliveira’s research groups. Another cool online thing that exists is CP, a language with disjoint intersection and union types: https://github.com/yzyzsun/CP-next

Do you have any advice for understanding the difference between "relational" and "tablational"? I remember hearing something about how SQL is not really relational from my college professor, but we never really explored

Probably? Locality becomes fairly important at scale. That’s why there’s a strong preference for array-based data structures in high-performance code. If I was them I’d be using OCaml to build up functional “kernels” which could be run in a

Is that really a viable solution for a timeframe of 6+ hours?

Fair. Sorry about that.

Quite honestly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. It’s been 21 years since one of their biggest evangelists wrote the format!

I think the problem is an assumption that people are too stupid to grasp their brilliant idea. That being said, having all drones equipped with cameras could enable a more robust version of what they’re talking about: If uplink with human o

No one is arguing the merits of drone warfare. We have two years of footage from Ukraine, where camera-equipped drones are launched from a several miles away at most, and where there are networks of pilots and support specialists to assembl

So now the camera is pointed at the target? How is it checking that the other drones are headed in the right direction? And the personnel on the ground? They're just chillin' waiting for those other drones to come intersect with t

So the old “use a single unreliable 2D instrument to coordinate multiple fast-moving projectiles in three dimensional space” approach.

I understand that you’re probably just gonna reply with “still only need one camera” …but if GPS is jammed, and there’s only one camera per fleet, how exactly are the other drones supposed to navigate towards the spotted targets unless they

Yeah, it has its limits for sure. I like it for the streaming aspect. I think you can still have the functionality described in the article: you would send “hole” markers tagged with their level. Then, you could make additional requests whe

If you send the tree in preorder traversal order with known depth, you can send the tree without node ids or parent ids! You can just send the level for each node and recover the tree structure with a stack.

It’s interesting that you use the “a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors” example. That kind of statement is definitely hard to parse when you’re trying to learn concepts. However, the more I’ve learned about category theory,
