It is a true story, though I dont remember exactly where it took place: Once asked a favorite and very important professor who helped us start teaching, isn't, in their opinion, programming an art, given it has all markings of creative

There's another perspective - everyone and his dog today is reading more than ever because of LLMs (which are really LCPs in 2026 considering the machinery embeds all kinds of concepts in tokens). We ingest more information, condensed

"The seat license isn't what hurts, it's the tokens." not X, but Y... so this is very likely Opus 5 text, given timing and how it reads. has all the marks of it, one being very weird wording which makes it so hard to rea

It is questionable on how many occasions the world ever wanted more than ‘good enough’. And it is apparent from all the half baked systems we use daily how much this is actually true and how little software excellence matters in a real worl

Well AI does whatever is told. or rather - expounds as per what the anchor (the prompt) started the generation. That is all - it doesn't do more. It has biases because of RLHF and other post-training, but not innate AI-bias. It's

We gave a university class called "Advanced JS" and it was going for more than 13 years. Some years we had 30, others 50, recently more like 18 students. In 2026 though, I see very little reason to continue to do so. What am I goi

"Gods: Into the Wonderful" is perhaps the most amazing and inspiring game of the early 90s that literally blew my mind the first time I played it. Been playing it on and off for more than 15 years afterwards. It is a shame that pu

Love the GFX and the whole idea that s.o. under sanctions can create this game in 1993 while outside is 50' is itself amazing.

This demo is based on the wonderful (and actually hand-crafted) Three.js. It is a beautiful demo. The model expounded on the prompt and produced a very convincing web product based on Three.js. Wonder why wouldn't author try to produce

Top article, kudos! applied some of these techniques previously, and they do matter a lot. thing is, when you learn/teach JS there is usually limited time left to talk these topics, and they are essential more than it seems. the whole

my take from all these is that is perhaps possible to teach similarity search to 5th graders. not an elementary teacher myself, but many math concepts are much easier to explain with allegories (visual and other) than with formalism. a good

Imagine a box of balls. They have size, weight, colour, density… etc. These properties, each a measure, are dimensions and they are orthogonal to each other. Taken together are multi-dimensional.

also it somehow analyzes the indices of relational DBs, while most of the world uses vector dbs to keep their vecs. and vector DBs tend to be much faster in this regard.

"I don’t understand why others didn’t figure this out" - how about we allot the possibility that so many of presumed ML experts don't have any clue what they be doing, and are eventually API bitches, nothing more.

no tis not, brov. but then it still is there to enable a market, not protect peoples... because you know what - this market predates GDPR and will outlive it for sure. you can list another second-order effects, there are perhaps some. the p

GDPR has one single goal - to allow aggregated presumably anonymous data markets. Period. Everything else surrounding it is diversion in a plain sight.
