I've used ncdu for years. Great utility! I'm sorry he is gone. How did he die? He doesn't look too old from his website, https://dev.yorhel.nl.

Quick question. Does it use LaTeX or TeX for math input? Or does it use a DSL at the shell to interact with the LLM? Can you swap out LLMs if needed?


Not LaTeX. Flux has its own grammar. It tokenizes Unicode math symbols like ² directly into AST nodes.

The shell doesn't talk to the LLM directly. They're separate processes. Alexitha monitors system state via cgroup events and adjusts scheduler weights. Flux is just the user-facing shell. They're connected through Tenet (the scheduler), not through a direct pipe.

Yes, the LLM is swappable. Alexitha is currently a fine-tuned 7B model, but the interface is not model specific. Any model that can read a cgroup event stream and output a scheduling decision can be slot in. I'm planning to test with smaller models (1-3B) to reduce boot overhead.


How easy do you find Unicode input? Isn't "x^2" or "x**2" (Python) much easier to type than "x²" ? In the latter case, I have to lookup the char code for ², which happens to be U+0082 ("Superscript two")


This looks fun. What is the context and use of the above glyph list?


Gardiner's sign list. It's a modern categorization and ordering scheme. "Man and his occupations", "Woman and her occupations", "Anthropomorphic deities", "Parts of the human body", "Mammals", "Parts of Mammals", so on and so forth.


Also the order in Unicode. 1072 chars. (based on Gardiner's list),

In modern usage it is a shitpost called "Curse of Ra!"


This also makes me think of drumming. There are the sticks that hit the surface and form a pattern of sounds. Lots of different kinds of spaces embedded there!


So how the heck does the change in TOS work for the processing.org environment? That was an IDE that wraps around Java and a bunch of libraries. Arduino came along and borrowed the processing IDE put in an older gcc crosscompiler for the fleet of Arduino chips. They are the same IDEs but with different backends. If you can't reverse engineer the Arduino IDE, it was already borrowed from the processing people and open sourced. So are the processing people in danger of TOS violation? Or is it the reverse?


Thanks for posting this! Seriously great book.

This is one of those books that I read in the 80s that helped me change career directions to be a programmer in Silicon Valley and eventually get a PhD and teach programming at the university level.


According to saltwater fish... What about all of the freshwater fish?

Cool map though!


Freshwater fish have multiple, much smaller maps which have no connection to each other.


It is one of the most mind boggling thing to me how many animal species can survive with such convoluted life cycles. Fish do find their way into weird places. I've heard that fish egg stick to waterfowl feet.


Not to mention that no fish would have any insight into at least whatever is within visible distance from the shore surface. An accurate version of such a map would highlight an interesting perspective of how humans also lack the ability to perceive, comprehend, or even accept things they either physically or psychologically cannot perceive or do not wish to perceive and accept it.


More importantly, I imagine a 2D map would not be useful for fish: there is much more space to represent when you can also swim up and down.



and salinity


Are rivers 2d or 1d?


3d


4d when they flow


The huge problem that I have with this post is that they are trying to use math to disprove math, but badly. Also, they are using a programming language, python or any language for that matter, to prove their point, which is ALSO math. When you program you are working in an axiomatic system to achieve some goal. This goes all the way back to Haskell Curry and Alonzo Church which WAS also math. Working with math is a way of thinking and working on problems, even in probabilistic realms that errant post suggests.


Clicking on the introduction dropped you directly into a programming problem... where you actually needed to know some ocaml.

Context is needed... at least some explanation or bridge examples, like... why and what do I need to navigate this particular web landing page.

Website feels like an author exercise in ocaml for js web plugin.


If you use the companion app called ebird, you can save your checklists. Later you can upload your photos and any audio you have recorded. Those get vetted by regional bird experts and get added to the scientific data. It's fun to go back and relive past hikes and trips viewing your pictures on the ebird.org website!
