The Macintosh was designed with a unique file system, featuring two forks for each file – a data fork and a resource fork. Resources stored various structured data such as dialog specifications, menus, icons, and code for apps. Developers could create new resource types using templates, and the resource editor ResEdit allowed for customization of […]
The paper challenges sensational and misleading claims about Large Language Models (LLMs) by questioning the assumptions of language completeness and data completeness. It argues that language is not a distinct and complete entity, but a means of acting, making it incompatible with the current architecture of LLMs. The absence of key characteristics such as embodiment, […]
Richard Stallman shares his views on why Tcl should be avoided, drawing on lessons learned from Emacs. He emphasizes that a language for extensions should be a robust programming language, not just an “extension language” like Tcl. Stallman points out Tcl’s limitations, including lack of arrays and linked list structures, and its inherent slowness. He […]

SUSE is asking openSUSE to stop using the SUSE brand, sparking controversy. The openSUSE Board is considering rebranding the project due to governance issues. There is debate on renaming the various distros, with suggestions like “Geeko Project” and “Tumbleweed Aeon.” Concerns about losing contributors are raised, calling for a more structured onboarding process. The openSUSE […]
Two decades ago, ecologist Ilka C. Feller discovered mangroves migrating northward in Florida. Since 1980, more than 35% of mangroves worldwide have been lost. Feller has established research across various countries and is a pioneer of experimental mangrove ecology. Mangroves sequester carbon and offer protection against sea-level rise but could replace salt marshes, impacting wildlife. […]
Memory and ILP handling in 2D convolutions involves understanding convolution as an integral expression of signal overlap. In image processing, the continuous convolution integral is converted into a function in a two-dimensional spatial domain. Due to limited resources, images are stored digitally as tensors with discrete values. Filters are used to extract features, with trainable […]
