You probably haven’t heard of David C. Kelly; he doesn’t write best-sellers or give TED talks, or study the center of the galaxy or the human genome or the social impact of algorithms. …| mathenchant.wordpress.com
Thousands of programming languages were invented in the first 50 years of the age of computing. Many of them were similar, and many followed a traditional, evolutionary path from their predecessors. What eventually became APL was first a mathematical notation, not as a computer programming language.| CHM

We who have nothing to “wind string around” are lost in the wilderness. But those who deny this need are “burning our playhouse down.” If you put quotes around certain words it sounds more like a m…| SLIME MOLD TIME MOLD

Immaterial things are hard to understand, and taking their existence seriously has been unfashionable for centuries. Modern materialists have gotten comfortable simply defining them or laughing them out of existence. But since my philosophical conversion to Platonism, I now think that immaterial stuff way more important than material stuff—and there’s even a meaningful sense in which …| Steve Patterson

ARC’s current approach to ELK is to point to latent structure within a model by searching for the “reason” for particular correlations in the model’s output. In this post we’ll walk through a very simple example of using this approach to identify gliders in the game of life.| Alignment Research Center
We submitted for MPW7! I am particularly excited about this submission because we were able to submit the Zero to ASIC course designs as well as the first TinyTapeout design. MPW7 has by far had the most submissions of the MPW shuttles so far with 72 submitted projects as of 13 September. Congratulations to everyone on the course submission! We had 9 projects from the course, with 1 demo arbitrary function generator from me, a 32-bit RISC-V based processor by Farhad, an in silicon version of ...| Zero to ASIC Course

As a software system scales it becomes sufficiently large that the number of working parts, coupled with the number of working programmers making changes on it, makes the behaviour of the system extremely difficult to reason about. This complexity is exacerbated by the transition of many organizations towards a microservice architecture, as exemplified by the so-called “death star” architecture, where each point in the circumference of the circle represents a microservice and the lines be...| sookocheff.com
