Solving Probabilistic Tic-Tac-Toe
This morning, I came accross Cameron Sun’s Probabilistic Tic-Tac-Toe on HN . However, the comments were disappointing, with people proposing probabilistic models, linear programming, minimax algorithms, and heuristic evaluations to develop AI approaches for the game, none of which quite correct. In this post, I’ll…

I like the RP2040
The RP2040 is a microcontroller made by Raspberry Pi. Unlike their more widely known products, the RP2040 is meant to be embedded in consumer electronics. It's cheap and available in tens of thousands for immediate dispatch from your local Mouser.

Scan HTML faster with SIMD instructions – Chrome edition
Modern processors have instructions to process several bytes at once. Effectively all processors have the capability of processing 16 bytes at once. These instructions are called SIMD, for single instruction, multiple data. It was once an open question whether these instructions could be useful to accelerate common…

Forsp: A Forth+Lisp Hybrid Lambda Calculus Language
Recently I've discovered a very interesting language / realization of the Lambda Calculus. I was unable to find any other language like it, which I find quite surprising. In hindsight, the language seems obvious and natural. And the language keeps surprising me. I say "discovered" in the same sense that Paul Graham…
