I wonder if author could follow something similar that is used to capture guitar amps to NAM models (Neural Amp Modeller), https://www.tone3000.com/capture

Hmm word2vec doesn’t seem to belong to any on the four. Dean was a last coauthor of the paper.

I think they had to solve the TCP connection, as normally you can't easily implement TCP sockets in WASM. So I suppose they just need to tunnel all the connection through some websocket.
Many negative comments here stem from readers applying some specific corporate contexts and dismissing the book's use cases. That misses the point. This book isn't an advanced automation manual for 2026. It’s an excellent book for beginners who want to learn how to automate some tedious work.
So what happened to Meta after those successful llama 3 model releases? They really made competing models back then. If felt like they have right people, strategy and good results. Now it feels they have neither of those…
Is that monorepo heat map visualisation also reproducible for other repos? It kicks ass

Check what happened to the Spanish gold before the end of the Spanish civil war. I think it would be even more dramatic movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Gold_(Spain)
About a year ago the whole situation changed and Microsoft started to push everyone to their own Data Engineering solution (Fabric) that back then was really half-baked.
Re:Customer Update on Simplenote on Saturday February 28, 2026 @12:20PM (#47197822)
That's sad! Simplenote is a really useful and quick note taking app that's minimal but not missing anything for this kind of app. It's like notational velocity but done in a clean way, and synchronizing across devices. For me it was really enough for many years.

PS. And there is this surprise when you discover that all notes are versioned.

Re:Delphi is 31 years old – innovation timeline on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @05:36PM (#47067389)
Creating a simple application that had a database backend, data presentation gui and some simple CRUD logic took like 15-30 mins. All from scratch. How does it compare to today’s tools? And I am not talking about taking some ready off the shelf solution that you don’t really understand internally…

Those were good times and I really regret all those mishaps that happened to this great ecosystem and its eventual collapse :(

It probably starts with the habit of writing words without using the Shift key or diacritics. Just to be quick. At least, that’s how I’ve noticed this behavior in myself.

There are also some medieval reenactment groups who do some real battles (with rules of course) and that is totally about fighting with each other. Something like a fight club but set in medieval context.

Re:Why Was Apache Kafka Created? on Saturday August 23, 2025 @04:46PM (#44999001)
Couldn’t disagree more… if you go the ZMQ you are left alone handling many things you get in Kafka for free. If you have any sort of big data problems then good luck. You are going to reinvent the wheel.

Re:The Universal Tech Tree on Thursday June 05, 2025 @07:53PM (#44196683)
There is this theory of „adjacent possible”, that quite well explains why the technology develops the way it does. Some enabler technologies or inventions or even economy are just not just there yet for next thing to happen.

Re:The Fallacy of Techno-Feudalism on Saturday May 10, 2025 @08:33AM (#43945126)
The counterarguments are really weak to refuse the analogy. They actually might convince a more aware reader that the opposite is true. E.g. Voluntary participation argument asserts that everyone has choice. This is equally true as saying that an alcoholic can simply stop drinking. In the economy where the winner takes all this is not that easy…
Re:Linux as co-operative Windows process on Monday February 10, 2025 @06:48PM (#43006854)
It seems that today we can achieve similar functionality in fundamentally different ways (WSL, WSL2/virtualisation, Cygwin, etc.) What in your opinion is today's closest solution to colinux? and why we don't see such clever solutions today?

It’s a pity that this project died. I used it and it was really awesome.
Re:ASCII Delimited Text – Not CSV or Tab Delimited Text on Sunday November 10, 2024 @10:30AM (#42100693)
The fact that CSV is still strong is that it already covers all „shortcomings” (I.e. presence of quotations in the content) mentioned by this article.
it is not, but as the title says: it all happens in the background, without you being aware what happens.

The good thing is that this can be turned off with this option: "enable_language_server": false

Zed is supposed to be a lightweigh and fast text editor. That was my hope when trying it. This is not the case. When I was editing some JS or HTML file I noticed that my laptop is quite warm. I checked all processes and there was some node process taking up 100% of one of CPUs. It was some language server running in the background in some non-efficient way. The problem with Zed is that its mission is to be "engineered for performance", while in the background they cut corners and run some heavy unoptimized stuff. I think this is not a right strategy, even cosindering it is still in beta.
One problem with Raspberry Pi displays is that not all of them provide vsync signal in SPI mode. That leads to high CPU usage (due to very high frame rate) and its generally inefficient. Choose your display carefully.
I think this is the case: when you run your pipelines at scale you want to standardize and simplify some repeatable aspects to lower the cost of managing them. You may also want to be orthogonal to orchestrator engines (or triggering engines) and avoid getting too opinionated and inflexible in the future. So this framework is exploring some sweet spot between raw spark pipelines and low code etl engines.
Some years ago I compared those boilerplate removal tools and I remember that jusText was giving me the best results out of the box (tried readability and few other libraries too). I wonder what is the state of the art today?
