In a fascinating exploration of music and mathematics, the concept of implementing fizzbuzz in power chords on a guitar is discussed. While acknowledging the physical limitations of a guitar, the article argues that it can be considered Turing complete if certain abstractions are made. The unique implementation involves mapping basic operations to power chords and […]
Official support for .NET on Heroku is now available in public beta, allowing developers to build and deploy applications in C#, F#, and Visual Basic using ASP.NET Core and Blazor. .NET has transitioned from a Windows-only framework to a cross-platform, open-source ecosystem, aligning with Heroku’s focus on simplicity, maintainability, and performance. The beta offers a […]
arXivLabs is a collaborative platform for developing and sharing new features directly on the arXiv website. This framework allows both individuals and organizations to engage with the values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy. Only partners who share these values are accepted to work with arXiv. This experimental project aims to enhance the […]
This paper focuses on Dynamic Execution techniques that optimize computation flow based on input, aiming to identify simpler problems to solve with fewer resources, mirroring human cognition. Various methods discussed include early exit from deep networks, speculative sampling for language models, and adaptive steps for diffusion models, showing significant improvements in latency and throughput without […]

The possibility of a microbiome in the human brain, once considered controversial, is gaining traction thanks to recent discoveries in vertebrates like fish. Researchers at the University of New Mexico found thriving communities of bacteria in salmon and trout brains, challenging the belief that the blood-brain barrier keeps the brain free from outside invaders. This […]

The author recently left their job at an art gallery to focus on writing, reflecting on the valuable lessons learned during their time there. Despite joining a less-than-ideal position, they took the opportunity to improve operations and revenue by streamlining processes and focusing on what worked. Through their experiences, they emphasize the importance of aligning […]
The author compares Haskell and OCaml, highlighting Haskell’s elegant syntax and abundance of features while praising OCaml for its simplicity. They delve into code snippets, feature comparisons, and the nuances of each language’s ecosystem. Haskell’s tooling is described as a rollercoaster of emotions, while OCaml’s is straightforward and functional. The differences in compiler messages, standard […]
