I’ve heard that the graphical browser is back on emacs! Xwidgetwebkit was dead since emacs 29, and for a while I was left pining for a good graphical browser in emacs. Since then, friendly AI emacsers stuffed usable versions of graphical br

Interestingly, just the same day I find that xwidgets isn't dead anymore ( https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/4e855f90d1b1c39... ); life is funny!

Finally found a working graphical Emacs browser! I've been looking for just this since webkit widgets died. In my experience on macOS, EAF was very buggy (plus spawning an ugly extra Python window). This comes with a lovely transient m

The new Emacs features sound great! (We have native window management finally) I wish we would someday be able to edit in xref too, wgrep having landed in Emacs 30 (especially since project.el grep goes to xref by default). By the way, anyo

By the way, anyone have experience using emacs to analyse and visualise data (think spreadsheets and charts)? I’d really like to be able to use it to view any sort of data I happen to have.

An uninformed question: If the network is fully composed of 1x1 convolutions, doesn’t that mean no information mixing between pixels occur? Would that not imply that each pixel is independent of each other? How can that not lead to incohere

What are some more information on the state of the art in runtime adaptation? I confess I do not feel like I possess such a thing from the databases I regularly use. Adaptation sounds very compelling; if instead of emitting a plan based on

When things aren’t ticking perfectly for Synology their software can be kind of weird. Sometimes after power failures, some disks get corrupted and… you simply can’t log in to the Synology UI during this time (unless you “synobootseq --set

I’ve once attempted to implement a solution where ids are generated by UUIDv5 from a certain owner and the relationship of the new item to the owner; that way, users cannot generate arbitrary ids but can still predict ahead of time their ne

Yeah, its a theoretical general connection. Once you’ve pinned down the specific structure and know how many structures to skip by virtue of knowing how to count them, it becomes a somewhat practical algorithm.

For those who are not aware, knowing how to count the number of structures is (nearly) the same as knowing how to encode said structure as an integer (space-optimally) (the naive general algorithm would not have good time complexity); to co

A somewhat more “complete” solution that doesn’t give you hints (thus doesn’t rely on the plugin support for all of vim’s vast functionalities), but conditions your instincts to get better: increase the latency of my whole terminal (c.f. h

A very exaggerated example to use exp time… Whatever your constant, for exp time, it’s going to run for times longer than the life of the universe on probably any n > 10… Since you know, log time is practically constant

You're right, it's not the same. Undecidable properties are not related in general.

Halting (problem) is undecidable. Undecidability is not just the halting problem. Whether you go to the park on a given day is undecidable (assuming you have free will, and all such assumptions), but that you can be an oracle for this does

You may be interested in my other comment. To put it simply, pure languages remove serialisation of false data dependencies, exposing data parallelism, and interaction nets remove serialisation of false control dependencies, exposing contro

Both lambda calculus and interaction nets are confluent. That is, for a term that can be normalised (i.e. evaluated), one can obtain the same answer by performing any available action in any order (n.b. if the chosen order terminates). For

This is very powerful. Unfortunately, as an Ex command, `!` only works on full lines. One can of course also teach vim to operate `!` over any motion (or visual selection), whether it is part of a line, a full line, or a block https:/

I read the paper a few years ago and I agree that for such an incredible algorithmic improvement, it’s not trivial to find a use case, as you still need to maintain a separate (albeit algorithmically insignificant) lookup table. When I read

The example is meant to demonstrate that whether I say 平 as ping or peng changes the meaning of the sentence. It does not depend on how I feel like it. Another example: I buy some raisins, and the lady gives me some. I say: 咁多! If I pronoun

A counterexample for you: 聶 nip6, never lip6. 獵 lip6, never nip6. 焫 naat3, "lazily" laat3. 辣 laat6, never naat6. (Yes, almost everywhere interchangeable)

I cannot corroborate the experience of the other commenter. 念 is very definitively nim6, with lim6 as a common variant/lazy pronunciation. It is not at all uncommon that words have a variant pronunciation when used in certain contexts

As a native speaker I assure you that 請 is pronounced differently in context, and that both readings are perfectly Cantonese. For a more clear example, see 平: 大平賣 ("vernacular" reading; peng4) (lit. big cheap sale; i.e. sale) vs 平
