Surac··on We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4
I am comparing Mistral and Claude for a company of programmer at the moment. Problem isn't so much the model but the harness and skills. Claude offers very good tools here. Mistral is behind. So a new model isn’t so interesting for me

Surac··on PaperPilot – Zero-Cloud, Pure-Rust PDF Engine with WASM and MCP
U have a typst template file mostly containig functions and variable defs. Then i have a docutil -> typst rewriter that makes use of the functions of the the template. i18n is a non problem for me, because i have source files containig the correct text, but i have created ttf fonts containing may international glyphs using fontutils. As sphinx and typst support unicode it just works. the PDF are then postprocessed and all glyphs not used are striped out of the pdf, also some pdf streams are removed to shrink the pdf

Surac··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
i explain it by using Donald Trump: There is the atomic football (a case traveling with Trump so he can initiate a atomic war even while playing golf). The combination of the lock an the "Football" obviously is 0-0-0-0-0-0, But Tramp has problems remembering the order of the digits in the combination.
Surac··on The recently proposed o(n log n) integer multiplication algorithm [pdf]
Question is: do i still use the integer mull command of my cpu or should i write it myself in c. I think the hardware still wins. But will it have a impact on future cpu ALU designs?

Surac··on A Modern Web App in C
i also do that way, but i also have written my own webserver so i have no cgi interface. it serves files and provides "special" sites for the application written in.

Things i hate: - applicatin status handling - mixing html, css, js and c in one file - having no web "widgets" - having to make them by myself

Surac··on The monopoly behind your TI graphing calculator
I Europe we can choose between Casio, HP and TI. Problem is: Calculators are build for schools, not for using them in real life. Real Calculator: enter Number -> Press sqrt -> read result. Modern gameboy calculator: enter sqrt use cursor to go to number field -> enter number -> press equal -> read result. May be nice to learn how schoolbooks are written, but very inconvinient if you have to use the calculator for real
Surac··on C++26: Trivial infinite loops are no longer undefined behaviour
