Love this feature of UV. Here's a one-liner to launch jupyter notebook without even "installing" it: uv run --with jupyter jupyter notebook Everything is put into a temporary virtual environment that's cleaned up

A further irony for Neuschwanstein in particular is that in order to build an inauthentic Medieval- looking castle, they had to completely destroy the ruins of two actual Medieval castles.

Oh, interesting. Surprised that I didn't already know that. Perhaps every time I encountered the term "quake terminal" I just assumed it literally meant the the Quake terminal proper. I'll let my original comment stand s

Expectation: "Quake terminal" implies playing Quake, possibly in some Asciinema-type way. Maybe just starting the built-in Quake terminal without the game-play. Reality: a regular terminal that starts in the notch and expands to n

One potential problem might be that they have to treat the entire collection of 400,000 books at the same time (which makes sense because otherwise you risk rotating the beetles through the collection). So they'd have to find such an

In fact, we might have a different problem: dark energy should tear the grid up into (very large) bits. I guess the question is then would the bits then collapse into black holes or not. I assume so since the mass would not longer be perfec

Fun. It's basically Borges Library of Babel [1] where each book is a 4K ROM! If you do the math based on the specs given in the story (and crucially, you assume that each possible book appears once) you end up with a library several t

I'm not saying they didn't. It's just that the title here says "WH releases health report written by LLM" but the article it links to does not claim that. The headline from the article is about the fake citations. A

Think the title here is a little misleading. The citations do indeed appear to be hallucinations but it is not known if the report was written partially or entirely with an LLM. I would have no trouble believing that it was but at this poin

I feel like C-style strings were nearly inevitable given C's array-pointer duality law. Square bracket array operations just translate into simple pointer arithmetic. To have a length prefix byte you'd need to either make the comp
