I recently wrote a blog post exploring the idea of interfacing with local LLMs for ambiguous tasks like this. Doesn't that make more sense than coding the neural network yourself? Using something like llama.cpp and evaluating whether a

I started blogging about stuff I've learned about that I am likely to forget down the road. It feels so good when you throw up a post, never share it, and still manage to get a thank you email for writing it years later. If you have a

Out of curiosity, what is your development setup for that?

These are awesome hobby devices to hack on. I’m not very experienced with graphics programming but I had a ton of fun developing with the SDK, wrote a blog post on it recently if anyone is interested in learning more about it. https:/

Since this is Kotlin there's not really a sane way to call this from Clojure, right?

I only read the headline, so I'm going all-in on Clojure/Datomic off the bat at a new job. Half kidding.

I recently learned Fennel and cranked out a Love2D game as well. Not only that, but I discovered it’s trivial to run the game on some spare nintendo consoles I have lying around, because Lua is insanely portable. In contrast, I spent a ton

I’ve been exploring this project recently, I’m having a great time with it so far. The many examples and great documentation are much appreciated. I’m very tempted to try it for some upcoming projects building workflow systems at work.

I've really enjoyed reading (and playing with) kons-9's codebase in Common Lisp. It lets you do exploratory 3D modeling via the program's GUI or the repl. The source is very neatly structured and readable. I don't see ma

Would it be feasible to fine-tune a large, capable model (like the recent LIMA) on the source code (and maybe a few high quality libraries) of a niche language, such that it's much better at helping you write and understand it? Imagine

The excellent backwards compatibility rocks too. This weekend I wanted a library to diagram the class hierarchy of a Java project I put together. I found a 10 year old library that worked with no issues, I was done in minutes even though I

Oh that’s clever! Thanks for answering!

This sounds super cool, I’m very curious how you implemented it. I’m only vaguely familiar with the API.. if I had to guess I would say you send - a system instruction that its job is to filter unwanted content - examples of unwanted conten

Since you mentioned sourcehut, I’ll point out that their static hosting is excellent. I host my blog on there and have had no issues.

Yeah I think people are reading this the wrong way. Software was originally considered unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 101, but language was developed to allow software to be patented by narrowing the scope of the claimed inventions to a phy

I came back to Emacs after trying alternatives for a while. I ripped out most of my config and found it much more pleasant to run close to stock. I'm having better luck using my web browser for email, sublime merge for Git, debuggers i

that was an interesting read, i really need to learn more about compilers! by the way, the expanding hamburger in the navbar is a little buggy on mobile safari. it only expands at the top of the page, so if you press it while you’re midway

There’s a related project that’s really cool called scintillua that lets you use lpeg lexers for scintilla. It supports over 120 languages and it’s super easy to add new ones. https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua

Before I read SICP I had used OOP, functional programming, and lazy evaluation to varying degrees. In school and independent study I learned how to use those concepts to write programs, but I didn’t really have a clear conceptual understan

> Copilot is a horrible crutch. I will never use it, because I know how to read the documentation/source and write my own code. I think it depends on how you use it. I never let Copilot make design decisions, because it kind of suck
