Bitcoin Atlantis is just around the corner. This conference, happening here in Madeira, is something unusual for us locals. The common pattern is that we have to fly to attend such conferences. I plan to attend the event, and I will be there with an open mindset, since there are always new things to learn. […]

Yesterday, I went on a hiking trip to Monte Tiravento. This majestic loop tour is uncommon compared to the classic woody image of the Parco Nazionale del Foreste Casentinesi, as it takes place mainly on aerial and partly even barren ridges, resulting in magnificent views. Compared to other variants I did in the past, this one starts at a high altitude, offering lower elevation differences. It is inadvisable on the hottest summer days when..

Manu writes about apps and businesses who claim to replace search engines by feeding the web page content to a language model and returning the response to the user: Firstly, without a search engine in the mix, the AI has no way to search for anything. So if the goal is to replace the traditional search engine then we’re already failing. Because we’re not replacing anything, we’re just hiding it behind some AI tool. The second issu....

Exploring Battle Outcome Probabilities in 'War Room', the Board Game by Larry Harris

War Room is a board game by Larry Harris, the designer of Axis and Allies. I see it as at least a spiritual successor to AA, if not a complete overhaul. Like AA, it’s a grand strategy game set during World War II. Players control the major Axis and Allied powers and vie for the control of territories. The ultimate goals is to capture the opposing capitals and win the war. You can see my original Python notebooks on GitHub . I previousl....

I’m currently working with a large retail banking client to help them modernize their payments infrastructure. The word “modernize” is used in just about every client interaction. It appears in all the slide decks. It’s part of the business case justification. But modernization is a relative term. The big question is: What does the client mean by modernization? The existing system is a vendor product running in an on-prem application ..

In part one of this series we installed Nix, set up our system configuration with nix-darwin, and installed some packages at the system level. In this post, we’ll set up home-manager . Unlike nix-darwin, home-manager is cross-platform: it works across NixOS, macOS, and anywhere else Nix can be installed. It was difficult at first for me to understand how home-manager and nix-darwin should interact. While there is definitely overlap w....

From my experience as a maintainer of midly successful open-source projects, I have come to the conclusion that people who criticize accepting payment to work on such projects are either acting in bad faith or are incredibly naive. Anyway, Jacob Kaplan-Moss’s recent Paying people to work on open source is good is a stellar post on the topic of open-source sustainability. My fundamental position is that paying people to work on open ..

My mountaineering days are mostly left behind, and I miss them, so now and then, I look at some YouTube videos from the field specialists. Today, the algorithm suggested I watch a truly phenomenal one by Colin Haley . What makes it so unique is the raw, unedited “I’m filming for my family” feeling that there is to it. He’s sweating, swearing, worrying and freezing like, you know, the rest of us. Colin seems a lovable, down-to-earth..

Yesterday’s OpenAI launch of Sora is, as is always the case with OpenAI, mind-boggling. Marquees Browniee’s comment is spot-on, so much so as he’s obviously involved in the video-making scene. I don’t think content creators are at risk with Sora, not anytime soon, but, as Marquees repeatedly notes in the video above, just one year ago we thought AI-generated video was a joke.

In a previous blog post, we’ve advertised the use of SQL EXISTS rather than COUNT(*) to check for existence of a value in SQL.

Herbert Lui writes about his experience getting writing feedback from editors: My editors were giving me comments and suggestions on all of these posts, but I noticed a tension: as I accepted these changes and resolved comments, they would effectively disappear into a basement-equivalent dropdown menu, never to see the light of day again. I would lose the majority of the feedback that I received. But it’s difficult to learn from your....
