This is an amazing achievement for someone of any age, but to publish a book with this much research at 18 is phenomenal. I heartily congratulate you. I've hopped through the book and it seems carefully laid out and organized. I may c

So we're re-creating the Apollo 8 Mission 60 years later. 60 years after swinging around the moon, we are going to attempt the feat again. I'm having a hard time getting excited... Especially when some say it may not survive ree

I think the project is a great idea. Really a structured framework around local, persistent memory with semantic search is the most important bit, IMO. (The SOUL feature already exists for most LLMs in the form of persistent markdown files

Yeah, but how much did that actually change? I mean, the media sensationalized every little thing that happened, to make people feel as if the world was ending (or being saved, depending on the news outlet). However, Corporations still ran

I'm curious what the motivation was for linking this now. This repo hasn't been updated in two years. Meanwhile, there are at least five other Rust MPMC queues in use that have been recently updated. Is there something unique abo

Is this effected by Microsoft's patent on various rAns coding and decoding? If not, how does it avoid the (rather vague) claims? https://patents.google.com/patent/US11234023B2/en

I'm a bit concerned that they don't mention a particular strain of B. Subtilis. There are hundreds of documented strains, and they don't all eat/produce the same things (at least not in the same ratios) Some have been do

I'm going to need to see success rating for each groundhog. How often do they correctly predict the weather? Also how often did their right or wrong predictions contradict the majority?

To my untrained eyes, SQL did not appear to have things like windowing, hierarchical relationships, (trees, graphs) in mind when initially designing the language. Support for these things have been wedged into the language by numerous addit

The U.S. factory farm system has killed 120+ million pigs and over 7 million sheep this year (hopefully not many monkeys). I am quite sure most of those pigs were subjected to torturous conditions before they were put out of their misery.

It would be interesting to see a write-up from them on Homa's benefits over UDP. UDP has been used to work-around issues with TCP both in the datacenter and in unreliable WANs. Skimming over the paper, I think the magic of Homa is in i

I don't think the goal is to review all Twitter source. That should be the job of the (new?) development team. I think the goal was to look at the last 6 months of code, especially the last few weeks, for anything devious.
