Ha ha. I never thought of that as a selling point for affiliate links. I suppose Amazon will make less money if people print their own books as well.

What I really want to see from a "*-programming-language" post on HN is _why_. Why Lily?

midges can fly, so presumably they would hit the web at random points. as to why flying would be useful for the midges, if they consume biofilms on the surfaces, that's less clear. perhaps over time the midges will evolve away from flying and the spiders will have to adjust their strategy.

hmmm makes me wonder if you could train llms on gzipped text. would save a lot of tokens that way.

This is based on the Dear ImGui library/framework [0]. It's not intended, strictly speaking, for standard desktop applications. It's intended for applications that use 3d rendering, like games or CAD.

Although you could certainly use it as a desktop editor if you wanted to, I think the real value is in embedding.

Or, concretely, migrating hoverflies. Interestingly they don't appear to be colonial.

Yes, apparently they've developed new names: Generator and Scorer. This feels a bit like "Tai's Model" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17863514

The home page is a video of it working. Including throwing gasoline on it when it's already on fire. While it's running.

I don't think 64 RFID antennas would be that bad - you can etch them onto a PCB. That would be a pretty large PCB, I guess, but you could segment it if necessary.

Looks great! Why do you need a database? Seems like that limits the deployment options. You can't deploy to github pages, for example.

New comment by oneseven in "Svelte Native"

oneseven — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 16:21:14 +0000

Whatever the merits of this project -- and it does seem to be useful -- they should be a little clearer about the fact that it's not actually part of the "official" svelte framework.

I'm sure they consider it a tribute but it fees a little deceptive that they're cloning the svelte docs look and feel without any kind of "who we are" statement.

New comment by oneseven in "The Secret Sauce behind 100K context window in LLMs: all tricks in one place"

oneseven — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:59:50 +0000

It seems like learned positional encodings would still prevent you from doing fine tuning on a larger context size, though, so maybe using alibi is still relevant (although I have not read that paper).
