I've been trying to migrate over the zed and think they're Agent Client Protocol[1] is pretty neat, I wonder how much memory pressure Claude Code exerts if it is going through that mechanism instead
Found these a couple weeks ago and bought the golf PDF for my <7y/o nephew and he was initially hesitant but then thrilled once he understood the basic premise. Didn’t have the heart to start teaching him A* and manhattan distance, that’ll come later.
I’m glad the creator made this and am looking forward to seeing more of these
Side note, these reminded me of pocket mod which I absolutely loved using 15 years ago https://pocketmod.com/
I love these! I’ve seen them referred to as “hand in hand” clocks and there are a handful of physical manifestations that you can 3d print or make yourself
I was just reading in "Losing the Signal"[1] about how Blackberry's relay service of the late 1990s was sometimes run on a sysadmins laptop just because they needed anything to help deal with the traffic they weren't equipped to deal with.
Just want to give a quick shout out to coauthor Tom Griffiths for being an amazing educator; I attended his class before this book was published and was delighted when this book covered the general ideas covered. I’m always happy to recommend it to others looking to understand more about computer science in an approachable way
Meshcentral is fantastic and cross-platform. Hosting it yourself is really simple. One of my favorite open source projects. https://meshcentral.com/info/
I think an answer to this is raw data. Data is data and you can of course massage the information to do what you want[1] and it can also be argued that it's been misinterpreted and improperly reported since the beginning of time. The truth is that the only "true" judgement that can be made is by the person who reads and interprets the raw data. If we make more "actualizations" like this where it takes a raw information stream and leaves it to the viewer to interpret, it will become less exploitable.
Akin to a thermometer, there are reporters and newscasters who can tell you the weather outside and we hope they are not deceitful but if you look at a thermometer, you have the raw data and you can make that judgement yourself.
Visualizations like these are incredible and I want to see more like them. We're at a time where data wealth and transparency is becoming more and more sought out and computers/microcontrollers are incredibly cheap.
An installation like this one would be thought provoking in an art gallery or event space, especially if it's pulling raw data. The silence, or even onslaught of noise, would be deafening. Presentations like these give a much more tangible understanding than points on a graph.
As much as I love racket/scheme/lisp, I truly believe that the 61A (sans-s) where python is taught, helped me much more for my career/future just because it was taught in python. For programming fundamentals, either works great, but I think working with python is more helpful for future environments.
One example of this is when a classmate of mine was taking an artificial intelligence class at Berkeley (Cog Sci 131) and was at a loss because she was taking 61as which was taught in strictly scheme, and the artificial intelligence class was taught in strictly python.
Both classes are wonderful and I can proudly say that it has made me a better computer scientist. http://cs61a.org/
Living in the east bay (Berkeley) means your options are pretty limited in terms of service, but we have a local company (www.lmi.net) which has incredible service. When there was an outage, they sent the technician 2 hours after I called and I've never had any trouble with them.
