Laniakea Books is a publishing house in London, England, which publishes public domain books only.
But, I guess he did win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2020 so I can't really brag. However, it was a great surprise when looking at two pa...
A book I was recently reading mentioned a mathematical curiosity I haven't seen before - Tupper's self-referential formula . There are some resources about it online, but this post is my attempt to explain how it works - along with an interactive implementation you can try in the browser.
‘NOVELIST LECTURER VANISHES’ announced a headline in The Sheffield Telegraph on Wednesday, June 26, 1963. ‘What has happened to Kathleen Sully, the writer who should have arrived in Sheffield yesterday to lecture at the Sheffield Arts Festival?’ the reporter asked. Sully, then at the height of her career, had been…
Microsoft has rolled back the revocation of the Verisign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 Root Certificate.
LLMs do all the things people say they do at once, even if those people vociferously disagree, and they’re all useful.
This article is a deep dive into my experimentations with Volumetric rendering and how to leverage it to render beautiful raymarched cloudscapes in React Three Fiber and WebGL. In it, I walk you through everything from the basics of Volumetric Raymarching to the techniques used in video games to render physically…
the studio has always played to critics instead of children and manipulated with cheap sentiment
the territory under dispute
This is a Python/Pandas vs Julia cheatsheet and comparison. You can find what is the equivalent of Pandas in Julia or vice versa. You can find links to the documentation and other useful Pandas/Julia resources. The table below show the useful links for both: Pandas Julia data analysis
What helps a programming language gain traction? Patrick Martin remembers why he used to use Delphi.
Large language models like GPT-4 are becoming increasingly capable, at an alarming rate. Within a couple of years, we won't need developers any more! …Or at least, that's the narrative going viral on social media. I'm much more optimistic about what these AI advancements mean for the future of software development.
More or less the title this time, but first, a story about SIMD. There are three levels of understanding how SIMD works (well, at least I am level 3 at the moment):
Vodafone today unveiled a prototype 5G network built on a credit card sized Raspberry Pi personal computer and an equally small, advanced silicon chipset. This industry-first concept will enable small businesses and households to extend 5G coverage and increase capacity according to their needs and to have their very…
For a long time, I found the micromanager CEO archetype very frustrating to work with. They would often pop out of nowhere, jab holes in the work I had done without understanding the tradeoffs, and then disappear when I wanted to explain my decisions. In those moments, I wished they would trust me based on my track…
I was wondering what the IBM Personal Computer would have been like if they had chosen the Motorola 68000 instead of the Intel 8088, so I used my MCL86+ to emulate the 68000 and find out! The MCL86…
Feedback is the lifeblood of getting better, but be careful who you accept feedback from.
This week, I went to the tinyML Summit in Burlingame, Calif. TinyML, or running small machine learning models on constrained devices, is one of the most exciting technologies I’ve encountered. But it’s also the one most likely to put people to sleep when I talk about it. Using local computing to handle object or even…
