How Many Chess Games are Possible? Here is a fun question: how many different games of chess are possible? Counting the number of possible chess games is quite hard, as the numbers are large and chess board positions can be quite complicated. In this note we will try to estimate […]

The actual phrase ‘Dark Ages’ itself derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum , which Caesar Baronius – a cardinal and Church historian – came up with around 1602. He applied the term exclusively to the tenth and eleventh centuries. However, and very significantly in his use of the term, Baronius was not decrying a state of scientific malaise, or a particularly turbulent political period – he’s talking about a lack of sources surviving fr..

I started learning Rust as someone who’d spent years writing Python scripts and Go services for cloud infrastructure. My first reaction was honestly frustration — the borrow checker felt like a compiler that existed purely to reject my code. But something kept pulling me back. The binaries were tiny. The startup times were instant. And once my code compiled, it just… worked. No runtime panics at 3am. No mysterious memory leaks creeping up a..

I think most of us can relate with feeling proud of beautiful, elegant code; we treat it as an art form rather than something that brings value to shareholders. I fear however that the time of SWEs is over. Soon all code will be made by AIs for AIs, and I think that validation will be the only thing left for humans: mostly to shift the blame on developers if something goes wrong and because business people are allergic to terminals. ..

A recent episode of the Rails Business Podcast was about “striving for ideal code”. The hosts are both typical “Rails Indie” owner/operators: a small team building a small SaaS. They were discussing a new podcast which is out from 37signals called “Recordables” . The discussion was envy for how good and clean 37signals’ code was. This is a fair assessment. They’ve been open-sourcing a lot of real world products lately, including: Ca....

Kubernetes memory limits introduce a subtle but critical interaction with the Go runtime that can determine whether a service runs efficiently or fails under load. This article explores how Go manages memory under normal conditions and what changes when Kubernetes enforces hard memory constraints. Using controlled load testing, it shows why Go is generally excellent at self regulating memory, how OOM events emerge once limits are imposed, a..

I’m experimenting with a two-step pipeline for structured outputs. Instead of asking for JSON in a single prompt, I capture the raw free-text response first, then format it in a second call. Why bother? Schema validation errors don’t invalidate the LLM response. If the JSON is malformed, I only retry the formatting step. The original reasoning is still there. Most errors I see in data extraction pipelines are the model messing up JSON t..

Note: I’m experimenting with a new format where I vomit an essay into a voice memo and have Sonnet 4.5 minimally convert it into prose, only removing tics and fillers and flagging acronyms/links/footnotes it didn’t get so I can manually add them. The slop is all mine, or well, mostly mine.I've been doing capoeira for almost two years now, and the other day I sat down and tried to calculate how many hours of instruction I've actually receive..

In the picture below, the functions have a description on the right-side. Is this a part of the json as well? I looked at the built-in matlab function's json, but could not find this description string anywhere. I'd like to provide the same for my custom built-in functions https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/25a_command_window_suggestions.png

This is just a quick note to myself and to fellow people who may encounter this issue. If you use a node version manager such as nvm/asdf/mise, you may have a situation where you need a given version to work with a project, but that version is too old to support Copilot. This shows up … Continue reading " Copilot in vim when using multiple node versions " The post Copilot in vim when using multiple node versions<..

Hi lainchain tech. I am trying to make a lainchan instance for another imageboard on debian 13.3.0. Can anyone please help me understand this? Is the current git of lainchan even working? The github says php 7 is explicitly supported, so I tried php 7 first and composer install said I didn't meet requirements so I upgraded to php 7.4 and ran "composer update --ignore-platform-reqs" That got output on the browser at http://localhost/ins..

Once upon a time, I got a PR from a coworker, I’ll call him Mike. Mike sent me a 1600 line pull-request with no tests, entirely written by AI, and expected me to approve it immediately as to not to block him on his deployment schedule. When asking for tests, I’d get pushback on “why do I need tests? It works already”. Then, I’d get a ping from his manager asking on why am I blocking the review.

With the rise of claude code, codex and clawdbot a few more voices are saying “we are entering the singularity” or “this is what takeoff feels like”. I suspect it’s going to be a sigmoid not a true exponential because there’s always a limiting factor eventually, but I don’t want to talk about that, I want to talk about a much more interesting and real phenomenon I see happening: ascension . Singularity? 👎 Ascension 👌 Individual people a....
