Ask HN: Validation of a Thought(LLM -> LISP -> Transpile)

I'm trying out a code generation problem using open-source transformer models. With almost all of the models, the context window size seems to be a problem.I had a thought that, instead of generating the code for the target language directly, what if we can generate a concise code and transpile it? In that approach, I feel generation could be in some LISP dialect and from there transpilation...

Has anyone tried if the model is capable of giving a structured output?
Re:BigCode Project Releases StarCoder: A 15B Code LLM on Friday May 05, 2023 @03:36PM (#35834142)
Is it possible to load the model for a particular language. Thus minimising the required resources.

How Io language is Homoiconic?

It's being mentioned that Io language is homoiconic.To me homoiconic means "Expressing the language in the data-structure of the same langage" . For exp, LISP, is all LISP list.I'm trying to understand Io is homoiconic?Though I can see that the Io programs are objects and message, a given statement is not a data-structure of the language per se.For example, can someone explain how this...

Constraints on the password imposed by m209 on first password management

I was going through the paper [Password Security: A Case History][1] By Robert Morris and Ken Thompson on authentication. It has been mentioned in the First Scheme that the first encryption used m209, in which they used the user password as the key.The respective excerpt is,> Most of the standard encryption methods used (in the past) for > encryption of messages are rather easy to invert....

Caching TGT from browser/other krb5 client

I'm playing around with Kerberos SSO. As experimented so far,-When I open a web app that is configured with Kerberos, from the browser, it prompts me for the username and credential, once I enter, I'm logged into the web app .- When I do a kinit from the terminal and give my credentials, I'm signed into the KDC for the given user. After kinit, when I open a web app I'm signed into the web app,...

Re:Ask HN: Time-series DB for event sourcing? on Monday February 11, 2019 @12:50PM (#19136419)
Thanks @brettgriffin. I started with Timeseries DB, which is optimized for Timeseries data, also it is built on top of Postgres(RDBMS). So simple and serves the purpose.

Is volume the only thing that we go for Time-Series DB? I doubt if Time-Series DB really satisfies the need of "Event sourcing" such as single/multiple column(s) aggregation, etc.

Ask HN: Time-series DB for event sourcing?

I am in the process of choosing data storage for my event-series DB. There are various opinions on using RDMS, NoSQL or Columnar. Was there any exploration done on using Time-series DB for event-sourcing other than TimeScaleDB(https://blog.timescale.com/time-series-data-why-and-how-to-use-a-relational-database-instead-of-nosql-d0cd6975e87c/)? Or is it even a good idea to use Time-Series DB for...
