There might be a method behind the madness of the thin skinned autocrat heading Meta... Unfortunately it probably works.
This is an ongoing series, but there are good insights about software architecture work in the first few articles. Shows quite well the important tradeoffs and the usual traps.
Interesting experiment on how to totally break the performance of memory accesses. This gives good insights on the whole chain works.
More reasons why the whole "data centers in space idea" is stupidly dangerous and likely unreachable.
When you ignore history, you're bound to repeat the same mistakes. There's clearly a trend of overpromising and then failing to deliver.
I wish people will stay clear of this newer social media... It already smells really bad in its practice.
Remind me how your built your models in the first place? Yeah right...
Friendly reminder that the answer is "no". You don't want to just rewrite everything, it's not just a syntactical translation, it's a long project and at best you tackle critical components.
This is a good reference on how to write design documents. It's not as easy as it sounds sometimes, and this guide contains good tips.
Interesting look back at how our industry evolved. Quite a few events over the years.
Very sobering opinion piece. For all the talks about a China / USA race, it feels more like two flavors of the same dystopia. The race is just here to justify acting against their own population interest. The result is then the increase in illiberal fixations and nihilistic world views. This can't end well.
Some news from the Apertus project, they released smaller models. Interesting work.
This is an interesting proposal, let's hope it gets picked up and appear in more licenses.
Those improvements are welcome. I wish we'd see more std::format uses.
Designing APIs for the Web platform is hard and error-prone. This is why it carries baggage, here is a good example.
Indeed, we try to limit the amount of code we need to maintain. But configuration can bring its own complexity and maintenance burden as well.
Aren't the signs clear enough yet? Don't get misled by Bluesky.
Good advice on naming booleans. It's worth repeating.
This is just the beginning in a way, but it'll be a game changer for Java. The value classes will allow for better memory density.
Looks like we're getting a new HTTP method. This should help remove ambiguous POST calls when really what you want is to query. This is long overdue, let's hope this new QUERY method sees quick adoption in servers, frameworks and services.
