Steven Clontz informed me of an effort he’s involved in called code4math. It’s described as a professional organization for the advancement of mathematical research through building non-research software infrastructure. By that he means, for example, writing software packages like Macaulay2 or databases of mathematical objects that other researchers can use to do their research.

While on my current trip to India, I had one of many conversations with my brother (technically my cousin, but you know, culture) about life and existence. During our conversation, he said something that stuck with me: “Bhai, people think I’m weird. Everybody does.” I obviously asked him why he felt that way. He then […] The post Everybody’s Weird appeared first on Something Decent .

Emacs wdired is a beautiful thing. You turn a directory representation into an editable buffer and you can do some magic. By magic, I mean you can apply your favourite text-editing commands to a directory and do some file management. Take, for example, batch-renaming. Turn wdired on via dired-toggle-read-only, use something like Magnar's multiple-cursors (or built-in keyboard macros ) and commit via wdired-finish-edit (using the ofte....

I’ve experimentally replaced some of the Java implementations of quicksort and binary search with calls to C++ code, and saw huge benefits for the sorting code but the same or worse performance for binary search. The Marginalia Search engine is mainly written in Java, which is language that is good at many things, but not particularly pleasant to work with when it comes to low level systems programming. Unfortunately, a part of building..

Implementing MVCC and major SQL transaction isolation levels

In this post we'll build a database in 400 lines of code with basic support for five standard SQL transaction levels: Read Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read, Snapshot Isolation and Serializable. We'll use multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) and optimistic concurrency control (OCC) to accomplish this. The goal isn't to be perfect but to explain the basics in a minimal way. You don't need to know what these terms mean in adv....

OOP is like kicking dead whales down the beach agree or disagree? I agree. I find C++ OOP (and OOP in general) quite confussing and ugly (conceptually and in C++). I was programming a project in C++ with OOP, but using it was so uncomfortable. I was looking at my code and it doesn't seem to make sense. I tried to do the same thing in C with structs and pointers and it was really nice. I can understand what I'm actually doing, adding o..

In a short gap between two jobs, I started working on a simple idea for a creative, multi-modal (text-to-text and text-to-image) AI-based web application. I had been tracking the open-source development of the Spring AI project , and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to evaluate the project for my idea. While life has gotten in the way of my finishing of the project so far (the frontend is essentially non-existent still :skul..

Let's get real. Apparently git is the best tool for versioning and collaborative work. Well, it is true, unless you collaborate with someone else than just yourself, and just use simplest operations like commits and branches to avoid keeping multiple directories of your projects. Trying to clean up history, rebasing without accidentally losing commits because of wrong submodule bump (yeah, you forgot to also rebase them), accidental file d....

Thirty-seven years ago, at about 11 a.m., at the Rocca Brancaleone Park, my then-girlfriend and I kissed for the first time under a tree. We decided immediately not to get together because we were classmates 1 , and we didn’t want to complicate our lives. Right. We have been together ever since and will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary next week. Our three sons are the fruitful result of that teenage affair.

Open AI just released ChatGPT 4o. The launch demo is available on YouTube , and yes, it is impressive. They did not launch v5, though, and 4o is only incremental, not exponential, as v4 has been compared to its predecessor. It may mean we’re at the end of the “exponential growth” phase of LLM models. However, the most critical aspect of this release is not technical, as Ethan Mollick correctly pinpoints in his timely What Open AI Did p..

This post explores the idea of iteratively mixing mean, median, and geometric mean, inspired by xkcd #2435. In Pragmastat, Center — the Hodges–Lehmann estimator — provides a principled robust location estimate with 95% asymptotic efficiency and a 29% breakdown point, without iteration. Confidence intervals are available via CenterBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Let us consider xkcd.com/2435 : ....

Migration projects can be hard, especially when we were not around when the original projects were built. We migrated our images infrastructure to Google Cloud which was spread across multiple environments and here is how we did that.
