One of my agents is kinda like this too. The only operation is SPARQL query, and the only accessible state is the graph database. Since most of the ontologies I'm using are public, I just have to namedrop them in prompt; no schemas and

Idk, `o3-mini-high` was able to pop this Prolog code out in about 20 seconds: solve(WaterDrinker, ZebraOwner) :- % H01: Five houses with positions 1..5. Houses = [ house(1, _, norwegian, _, _, _), % H10: Norwegian lives in

I like popcount for converting a 2^N-bit uniformly-distributed random number into a N-bit binomially-distributed one. Each bit of the input simulates a random coin flip.

None of the other replies try to explain specifics of how this works, so let me illustrate an example of two teams collaborating to add Feature X to the monorepo without branching: 1) Team A checks in their code to provide Feature X. Their

I like this idea a lot! A less powerful solution implemented completely locally: A "known_hosts" file for SSL certificates for repeat visits. As long as you've visited a site once before, any subsequent visits will be safe. T

Here's the actual commit that was reverted, for anyone curious like me: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/com... Doesn't exactly seem like a lot of work to support this.

Racket supports running multiple (sometimes incompatible) dialects of Scheme through the use of a #lang directive. If you prefix your program with "#lang racket", you get the definitions for the full Racket language, with all of the extensi

So speaking just in terms of the JRE, is there any reason to download it from Oracle instead of Apple? A separate Oracle updating program is a much less elegant solution than the current Software Updates integration that Apple uses.
