Time is often represented as a coordinate, but what is it intrinsically? Thinking in computational terms reveals that time is the progressive doing of computation by the universe, due to computational irreducibility. This implies that time cannot be jumped ahead in; one must go through each irreducible computational step to reach the future. Our experience […]
Squey is an open-source visualization software that helps users explore and understand large amounts of tabular data. It can assess data quality by detecting invalid rows and missing values, combine visualizations to reveal patterns and anomalies, and conduct investigations to detect weak signals. With the ability to work with various datasets, Squey is used in […]
Canon is confident that their nanoimprint technology can complement existing EUV technology in the semiconductor industry, starting with 3D Nand memory chips. However, analysts doubt the impact it will have, stating that nanoimprint is not a superior technology. Canon aims to achieve greater miniaturization levels, starting at 5nm and targeting 2nm. Achieving a high yield […]
A new way to build apps with distributed state using Collaborative Values (CoValues), based on CRDTs and public-key cryptography. CoValues are editable like local JSON, automatically synced and persisted, and keep full edit history. They include data structures like CoMap and CoList, with plans for CoPlainText, CoRichText, and more. Secure permissions and team roles are […]
In his insightful essay, the author discusses the famous quote by Brian Kernighan about the challenges of debugging compared to writing code. While some interpret the quote as a warning against clever code, the author argues that cleverness is a dynamic skill that can be cultivated through practice. The concept of flow is introduced, highlighting […]
MACHINA is a CCTV viewer that uses LLAVA YOLO 11 OpenCV for object tagging in real time, a work in progress. It connects to a high-resolution RTSP stream, queues frames into memory for processing. YOLO assigns specific IDs to objects based on coordinates, size, and timestamp, iterating to match objects. Another thread continuously iterates through […]
The CAP Theorem states that a distributed system cannot be consistent, available, and partition tolerant all at once. A simple distributed system example with two servers, $G_1$ and $G_2$, is used to explain these properties. Consistency requires that any read operation after a write operation returns that value or a later write. Availability means that […]
Film cans containing unseen Thunderbirds footage, including an alternative version of an episode, were discovered in a garden shed in Buckinghamshire. The cans were found by the family of an editor who worked on the show. The footage, filmed on the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire in the 1960s, is now in the hands of […]
The Xet team at Hugging Face is dedicated to enhancing the Hub’s storage architecture efficiency to streamline data and model storage for users. With a substantial amount of data hosted by Hugging Face, optimizing Parquet files is a priority due to its importance in reducing storage space. Deduplication is crucial for updating datasets efficiently, especially […]
