This is very well-written code. I don't think anyone would bring into question Norvig's technical skills, but I wouldn't think someone like him would spend much time at his job writing code, or have much free time to program

I'm a firm believer that resources which raise the bar for math and computing education are huge catalysts for innovation. The fact that resources like BetterExplained, Paul's Math Notes, 3Blue1Brown's YouTube Channel, Ben Ea

I am a graduate student with ADHD-PI who lives alone. Keeping my apartment in acceptable condition and taking care of myself can be quite difficult at times. It can take hours for me to fold laundry, do the dishes, or cook meals because I s

The pi-hole software turns the Raspberry Pi into a DNS server, so you can point your own DNS server (i.e. the raspberry pi) at the DNS provider of your choosing so that it can resolve uncached queries. I don't think encryption matters

I uninstalled my 3rd party reddit app the other day for very similar reasons. I love reddit as a way for getting my tech news, but there's just so much about the platform that I don't like which is becoming harder and harder to av

I'd really enjoy a detailed writeup on why the graphics industry has been so fragmented. I'm not a graphics programmer myself, but from the outside looking in, OpenGL looks like it has fallen victim to design-by-committee. If I ha

Some of the most fun I have as a graduate student in computer architecture is trying to write the fastest possible code snippets for complicated chips. Working your way "down" from C/C++ is a great place to start, assuming yo

As a user and fan of fish, I hesitate to recommend it to people because support and availability for fish is just not where other POSIX shells are. It's gotten better with time, but VSCode extensions still don't setup conda proper

Very curious to hear about the training set for these. If I had to guess, someone scraped GoDaddy/Google Domains/Namecheap for the "premium domains" that are being squatted on and then trained a language model on that

Current graduate student here who would be absolutely thrilled to hear more about your story. What sort of creative writing did you do? What was your rationale for leaving industry? I went straight from undergrad to grad school, because 1)

Hadn't thought of this game in a long time, and didn't know it was open source! Props to the team for their continuous updates over the years, looks like there's a lot of new stuff since I last played this.

I would just like to add in that RISC-V is still a lot of talk because there are still some important standards that really need closer attention before we start mass-producing server CPUs. Specifically, the Platform-Level Interrupt Control

Lots of fond memories playing a modded copy of the original on PC (Custom Edition). It was my first experience seeing how a game's legacy could be totally transformed by a modding scene (looking at you, Elder Scrolls). I really hope th

No and yes. Is it strictly the language’s responsibility to deal with the implementation? Not really. I agree in theory. In practice, Google is behind this statement. Nvidia is behind this statement. Two of the largest supercomputing facili

Interesting post. I'm bummed that there isn't more interest in bringing C++ to ASIC/Accelerator scene from the committee. I think projects like Nvidia's Thrust[1] show that C++ is poised to be fantastic medium for softwa
