eismcc··on K: We need to talk about group
I wrote http://KlongPy.org to blend Klong and python. Eat your cake and have it too :)
eismcc··on BloombergGPT: A Large Language Model for Finance
I’ve been working on http://www.dollarsign.ai and it would be interesting to have this directly integrated.
eismcc··on APL Since 1978 (2020) [pdf]
I’m going to plug KlongPy, my Numpy based port of Klong (derivative of k which is derivative of APL) here:

eismcc··on Self hosting in 2023
Cloudflared is what I believe they are referring to and it proxies HTTP/S, although maybe it can do more.
eismcc··on Hyperscale in your Homelab: The Compute Blade arrives
It's amazing to see how far these systems have come since my coverage from The Verge in 2014, where I built a multi-node Parallella cluster. The main problem I had then was that there was no of the shelf GPU friendly library to run on it, so I ended up working with the Gray Chapel project to get some distributed vectorization support. Of course, that's all changed now.

Whoops. Thanks!
eismcc··on Long Covid: major findings, mechanisms and recommendations
I found popular ones on Amazon.

I tried it because of doing research on my high numbers for Epstein-Barr (aka mono). I found via NIH papers that liver issues are common with mono patients so I figured I could be having that since there were no other obvious blood results.

I had Covid beforehand and when I had extreme fatigue I had the mono tests done. The EBV numbers were off the charts and then I found some NIH paper talking about how it’s thought Covid can reactivate EBV.

My biometrics jumped almost immediately up on my Garmin and stayed there. It was a life changer.

Similar situation. Did a 70.3 in June and then was laid out flat like I had never been before. My watch was telling me numbers that looked like I did a full Ironman every day. For months.

I found that liver support supplements made a measurable impact.

eismcc··on NanoGPT
It will be funny to look back from the future and think, wow, how did we get anything done with only 40GB RAM

The other post probably didn’t make it to the front page
eismcc··on What happens when a CPU starts
Just looked in eBay and had no idea there were so many DS systems available.
eismcc··on Production Twitter on one machine? 100Gbps NICs and NVMe are fast
You’d end up synchronizing feature releases to Moores law. Which while it sounds untenable there are large corporations that continue to use monolithic approach and vertical scaling.
eismcc··on VanillaOS: Immutable Ubuntu-Based Linux
How does this compare to Nix? I’ve not used either but Nix sounded like what people want here.

Thus begins the arms race

eismcc··on Ask HN: Best dev tool pitches of all time?
he shows a db interface builder at: https://youtu.be/rf5o5liZxnA?t=1387

the video on the whole is pretty mind boggling.

eismcc··on Redbean 2.0 turned into more than a hobby project
It’d be fun to add raft support so that multiple readbeans could share state such as monkey patching updates and other useful distributed features. On bare metal this could be a whole stack in a tiny bin.
eismcc··on The Comprehensive List of Window Managers for Unix
I discovered i3 when looking for tiling solution and found it remarkably productive.
eismcc··on Techniques for Training Large Neural Networks
Has anyone tried using another NN as the “gradient” function? With the hope of making it less “blind?”
eismcc··on Stop Interviewing with Leet Code
This reminds me of the interview process at Thinking Machines, where the interview was working onsite for a week and then getting voted on.

Or Pixar which required you to excel in atleast one thing in your life

eismcc··on My favorite Erlang Program (2013)
There seems to be a tipping point where above the line a developer starts removing work and below the line work is created
eismcc··on Pilot explains how he Survived Blackbird Disintegration at Mach 3.2
I get that but it’s not my point. I’m wondering in general about word choice to minimize collisions
eismcc··on Pilot explains how he Survived Blackbird Disintegration at Mach 3.2
I do wonder if the words should be further away from each other phonetically though - start … unstart seem close enough to be confused if the radio is noisy
eismcc··on Pilot explains how he Survived Blackbird Disintegration at Mach 3.2
The semantics is start/unstart are definitely more interesting in this context and seem less dramatic in the context of wind tunnel tests
eismcc··on Pilot explains how he Survived Blackbird Disintegration at Mach 3.2
“unstart” - while a terrifying euphemism - is there is reason “stall”, or similar, is not used?
eismcc··on I cheated on my Microsoft interview (2019)
Cache hits aren’t cheating. He filled his cache with research and got lucky.

eismcc··on How does find by example work in the Pharo Finder
While this is a deep topic regarding the philosophical break between the two paradigms and one which I spend a lot of time on, the ideal to me seems to be a system which has the immersive nature of a smalltalk-like environment while having the finalized image run at near “chip speeds”. JIT was added to smalltalk to solve this problem and so I wonder if it’s more about balancing the two modes.
