React Lua is a comprehensive translation of ReactJS into Lua, maintaining performance and correctness. It aligns with the upstream version of ReactJS and can benefit from advice meant for React JS. The repository aims to be the go-to source for Roblox and Lua communities seeking React functionality. The project encompasses various packages that are either […]
Hillel Wayne’s article discusses three types of features in programming languages: fundamental, deeply ingrained, and convenience features. He argues that while language designers focus on the first two, convenience features are beneficial due to their low overhead and quality-of-life improvements. The article highlights various microfeatures for websites, such as sidenotes, tables of contents, progress bars, […]
Cyberattacks last week on CDK Global, a major auto sales software provider, caused widespread disruptions for car dealerships in North America. Prospective car buyers faced delays and handwritten orders due to system outages. The company is still working on restoring operations, with no immediate end in sight. Major auto companies confirmed some impact on their […]
Cosmopolitan Libc transforms C into a versatile language that runs natively on multiple platforms without the need for an interpreter or virtual machine. It optimizes GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved format for Linux, Mac, Windows, and more with top performance and minimal footprint. Updates include a better memory map, updated Lua version, and […]
Researchers have developed a powerful imaging technique that can detect thousands of tiny plastic particles in single-use bottles, shedding light on the presence and impact of nanoplastics. These microscopic plastics, smaller than 1 μm, are widespread but poorly understood. The study found that a liter of bottled water contains around 240,000 plastic pieces, with 90% […]
In this post, I discuss creating the first version of the Intermediate Representation for the Kunai Static Analyzer, a library for analyzing Dalvik bytecode. As part of my PhD project, I aimed to enhance my programming skills and delve into the Dalvik file format. Despite the library’s discontinuation and the development of a new version […]
Arm64EC allows for the development of native apps or the incremental transition of existing x64 apps to take advantage of the speed and performance offered by Arm-powered devices. This new application binary interface (ABI) for apps running on Arm devices with Windows 11 offers better power consumption, battery life, and accelerated AI & ML workloads. […]
The expression problem highlights the challenge of extending types with new producers or consumers but not both simultaneously. This is evident in the difference between functional and object-oriented programming paradigms. Dependently typed programming follows the functional model and introduces an unexplored space in the programming language landscape. This paper explores dependently-typed object-oriented programming through duality, […]
The author discusses using semantic entropy as a strategy to overcome confabulation in language models without requiring architectural changes. They introduce the concept of semantic uncertainty to measure the uncertainty in model generations and explain the process of estimating the semantic entropy. The method involves generating output sequences, clustering them by meaning, and calculating the […]
