Thanks, Rekursiv is very interesting, and the Wikipedia article gave me the keywords to dig further on the topic of "high-level language computer architecture"

We could argue the same about highly parallel computations, yet discrete GPU cards exist. I am also old enough to remember the same thing attempted for physics in games, PhysX, which had its own cards (PPU) built by ASUS and a couple others

Opening up the topic: is there any work, nowadays, on making a CPU custom-made for one language, implementing in hardware some of its mechanisms? Or at least FPGA implementations? Apart from CHERI extensions, and a few research papers on ha

There is no security settings knife - except there are plenty of safety mechanism around knives. But anyway, your LLM is less a knife and more a Katana sharp enough to cut through bones in one swoop. Remind me the restrictions around someth

The state of desktop paradigms has been one of great stagnation, if not outright regression. The VR fad is never going anywhere: its problems are an order of magnitude worse and engineers and companies nowadays seem unable to do basic 2D in

Good for your wife's anemia, but test from time to time (every 2 to 4 years) your blood iron levels to check if it is not too high . It's problematic too (tiredness, then liver cirrhosis), and iron cookware can cause iron buildup

The 3M "Aura" masks with their origami-like folds are really good in terms of fit and comfort. I switched to them also when sanding wood.

Exactly. And this absence has never been as debated as masks, showing the huge biases in the public debate around the means to control the epidemic.

The mediocre Cochrane review continues to damage actual results around masks. See to my other comment[0] where I collated a few responses to Cochrane. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40658089

The Cochrane review is underwhelming because it is mediocre[0]. And its main author is far from dispassionate: "The study's lead author, Tom Jefferson of the University of Oxford, promoted the misleading interpretation. When asked

You need to make sure your knot is a proper (double-slipped) reef knot, and not the granny knot. It's easy to mix them up, and keep doing a granny knot by habit. https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm

Arguing for respect for all human beings is not anti-European - it is as European in spirit and values as it could be. Except if for you, "Europe" was at its best at the time of feudalism.
