For many cherry picked cases, you can likely come up with some kind of solution that makes CRDTs less semantically-unaware. But with a good LLM, you can cover almost every situation. It is possible to experiment with this right now by givin

Exactly what I had in mind. Thank you for developing the idea and make it more clear.

For this kind of stuff (collaborative editing in general), it is probably possible to train a NN model in order to guess what is the best blend between the user conflicts. Something like that would likely work very well, reducing the import

It's incredible that we need to assist to this farce where it is pretended that thanks to the tech giants the web is becoming faster. The average web latency is terrible, and this because of the many useless framework/tracking lay

I respectfully disagree, after performing many months of tests with the same application I wrote both in C and in MicroPython, both in battery-powered devices (you can find it on Github: FreakWAN). Moreover, when battery usage is really imp

MicroPython offers a great alternative to memory-safe ESP32 programming. It is a battle tested option with a great REPL and many optimization, including the native and Viper code emitters that are quite fast. It has so many available primit

Had the Nexus 4, Pixel 2XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 6, now I own a Pixel 7, and I'll never buy one again. It's a 90% done product. Software instability all around. Battery always round, bugs with dictation. Enough is enough.

Totally get your point. I'm not just concerned with support itself, but durability. I had experiences of printing for 24H for a couple of years, and Minis can do that with minor servicing (from time to time the nozzle requires to be ch

Here you are assuming that the A1 will be able to print, like the Prusa Mini, for years no-stop without issues and with little servicing needed. That's, IMHO, to be seen.

Bambulab itself says it can't print ASA. I've the feeling that while the max temperature is 300 degrees, for some reason and with the volumetric flow that they set, the hotend is not able to keep up.

True. But multicolor is often used for miniatures or alike. Who needs 4 magic creatures? If it's for an Etsy shop, then things are different and your point is a lot more valid.

I'm in many Reddit / Facebook groups about 3D printers and a lot of people complain constantly. So I've only this kind of evidence, other than a single friend that confirmed issues with getting parts.

Because the extra features of the A1 are not much useful in practice. The main thing that is required to print well is auto bed leveling, that works well with the Mini as well. The Mini is very quiet so the noise canceling feature is not us

This looks much better than it actually is for a couple of reasons: - Multicolor is not something you actually use often and is horribly slow. Slow like in a 2 hours print becomes 12 hours print if it's colored. And it wastes a lot o

Illogical association of ideas. It will be an iPhone with the USB-C connector to charge it. Stop.

Always refreshing reading Andrej Karpathy: the more he knows stuff, the more he explores the fundamentals of the science of ML in a direct and simple way. The field is full of papers that for a very hard to reproduce gain in some new convol

This looks like a very odd statement: "There’s no guarantee a material that is a room-temperature superconductor would be of practical use, Vishik says."

Writing is a set of techniques that can be learned to communicate effectively. That said, reaching excellence requires some talent other than the technique, but that's obvious, and common to every other activity. It's worth rememb

Unfortunately the book I wish existed didn't exist. I was about to write one for O'Reilly, but after the first exchanges I understood they were not the right match for me, so I abandoned the project. This happened several years ag

Yep in general when people consider Redis forks or alternaives that use more complex models, they don't realize the cost associated to the fact Redis is made in a certian way to be very stable and solid, and different choices lead to m

I started with the goal to write a C implementation just after I could verify the idea. Yet this is a list of reasons why, back then at least, Tcl was a great choice to write a prototype: - Tcl reference counting automatic mem management is

Redlocks don't use anything proabilistic, not in the sense that the lock may fail to guarantee what it promises at random.

Thank you. I agree about races going unnoticed. And indeed my post tryed to address why the failure modes outlined in the original post are not possible (but for the monothonic timer issue, but this was fixed in Redis at some point).

Please note that I replied to this blog post, when it was published. You may be interested in reading the counter arguments. The author of the original post acknowledged that at least one of his claim was wrong, but I don't know if the
