First, OCD may require professional help if you can't manage it rationally. With that being said, managing personal projects is simpler than "management" which involves human interations. In short, start with a basic pen, pap

Interesting. This is like DeepFloyd but probably combined with OpenAI's strength in NLP field. I remember Ilya Sutskever often mentioned how multimodal is important in multiple interviews. ControlNet can produce more impressive results

Heck no. If you do some "real world pizza making" instead of toying, that function would be like at least 1k lines, including how you carefully shape the dough, how to handle exceptions when you tear some holes, and how you should

Yeah and sorry for not being clear. I actually meant for the "700 million" clause only.

Usually I don't like anti-competition clause like this, but the number seems to target only FANG level competitors. Maybe we should give it a good name and hopefully seeing OSS adopt this.

It's obvious that people would flood Google with generated content. But it's hard to tell if it would kill Google or somehow make Google works better. There's certain dynamics to the game and nobody can say for sure. As for w

I thought Moore's Law was dead long ago. I don't understand why some people still bring it up from time to time. I remember reading in a magazine when I was a kid that Pentium 4 Extreme failed to reach 4.0 GHz in 2003 or 2004. Sin

GJS and SICP inspired me to love programming - before that, I only knew the rigid and cold C++ "Pyramid". Lisp is more dynamic and "organic" to me. (And I like his Babylonian wizard costume more than a Harry Potter one!)

It seems the most straightforward way to deal with these bolt-on security measures is to transform it in order to walk around the vigilance. E.g. reversing, weak encryption, Cyrillic alphabet, or translating them into other languages

Scala is a great language. Any time I'm programming in other statically typed languages it's like programming but with my hands tied backward: bumping into things and realizing there's no HKT, Type Class, GADT etc. However, i

I wonder, is it because the model is trying to produce the most song-ish song that makes it mediocre? Take a look at the Stable Diffusion community: images generated from plain prompts like "a guy walking on the street at night" r

Thank you for writing this. I'm convinced the single biggest factor is the wrong incentive leads to poor quality, well beyond other factors like the paywalls, publications, etc. Not only it disinterests reader but more importantly, it

Modern languages like Rust and Elixir are fine. JavaScript, C/C++, Python are very old and the package systems were pretty much bolt-on. And of course a lot of historical factors were playing a bit role. In the old days, people usually

1. It's a trade-off so real-world implementations are likely to suck at both ends of the spectrum. (eg. Old Ruby servers are neither responsive nor they have large throughput) 2. The trade-off is more about computation in general. In t

May I ask why CouchDB though? Is it for the offline support? Phoenix comes with its own database tool called Ecto[0] which is excellent, and it uses Postgres by default. If you're not intended to leverage CouchDB for offline support yo

I agree in general, but that might not be the whole truth. Otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing called "Perlis Language"[0]. [0] "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth k

They can't work well together because they speak different languages (like React vs Figma), thus the friction. One thing they can do is they can come up with a design system. Let them do the case studies together and came up with the s

Here's how I did it, I would say it's solid, approachable, and enjoyable: Go through the first half of Crafting Interpreters [0]. And then try to complete mal - Make a Lisp [1]. That's it. You'll only need these two.
