I'd guess legal reasons
cerved··on The Cassowary Linear Arithmetic Constraint Solving Algorithm [pdf] (2002)
Peter Stuckey, the co-author of this paper has a series of courses on modelling for constraint programming on coursera. https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling Pascal Van Hentenryck has another one https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization Håkan K has a blog with a big collection of models for a wide variety of solvers https://www.hakank.org/
cerved··on EmacsConf 2024 Notes
Starting
cerved··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
> Though, what I'm really concerned about is what happens when it gets smart enough to do pretty much everything better (or even close)

I'll get concerned when it stops sucking so hard. It's like talking to a dumb robot. Which it unsurprisingly is.

cerved··on They See Your Photos
I know! It does AI!!
cerved··on A Second Search for Bash Scripting Alternatives
People are always shitting on bash but I like it.
cerved··on SQL, Homomorphisms and Constraint Satisfaction Problems
I hate Jet with a vengeance
cerved··on YubiKey still selling old stock with vulnerable firmware
Where did this unknown individual buy the keys and when? I see a lot of smoke but where is the fire?
cerved··on Using an 8K TV as a Monitor
I'd suggest getting a better window manager
cerved··on Using an 8K TV as a Monitor
55" was fine but I'm happy I downsized to 48"
cerved··on Using an 8K TV as a Monitor
Same. I used to have a 56" OLED but it was a tad large. 48 is perfect. The hardest part was buying a good desk mount.

It doesn't work great with an all white screen but I use dark mode for most things

cerved··on Can logic programming be liberated from predicates and backtracking? [pdf]
isn't backtracking a complete search strategy?
cerved··on Makefiles for Web Work (2022)
Who on earth doesn't want faster builds?

It's make interpolation if it's using Make syntax and shell if it's not. It's not the same syntax

cerved··on Big Pharma claims lower prices means giving up miracle medications. Ignore them
Is the US government not already negotiating the prices for cars and food it buys?
cerved··on Makefiles for Web Work (2022)
What bash but not really bash quirks are you referring to?

Only quirk I can think of is that each line in a recipe is a separate shell and it makes inline comments wonky

The beauty of Make is the automatic parallelization and incremental building

cerved··on Makefiles for Web Work (2022)
same problem in Java
cerved··on My Favorite Algorithm: Linear Time Median Finding (2018)
what's preventing you from doing it in one pass?
cerved··on Rodney Brooks on limitations of generative AI
It's an analogy. He's making the point that even though something can scale at an exponential rate, it doesn't mean there is a business need for such scaling
cerved··on Rodney Brooks on limitations of generative AI
but the OP was talking about the size of the context window, not the size of the training corpus
cerved··on Rodney Brooks on limitations of generative AI
Why should the response be better just because there is "more data"?

Should I be adding extra random tokens to my prompts to make the LLM "smarter"?

cerved··on The Swift compiler is slow due to how types are inferred
I'm not sure I would draw the same conclusion, stricter requirements on typing is less cumbersome these days with better auto complete and LLMs
cerved··on The Swift compiler is slow due to how types are inferred
depends what you consider interesting and/or acceptable solution I suppose
cerved··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
they do have a Gurobi license
cerved··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
How do you come to this conclusion? They way I read it rather sounds like they use the CP-SAT solver with LNS and LS workers, parallelized over multiple machines
cerved··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
Not at all. Plenty of people are researching finding satisfiable solution that are quasi-optimal at scale. Once you reach a certain scale of optimization problem, proven optimality in a reasonable time-frame is often infeasible
cerved··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
tbf, it's a constraint optimization problem
cerved··on Mathematical Optimization for Cargo Ships
MiniZinc is a high-level CP language and tool chain, not a solver. Google has been developing their suite of OR tools for 15+ years, it's not like they built something from scratch just for this
cerved··on Show HN: I made a online free tool to enhance and auto-crop your screenshots
please do, it was very annoying
cerved··on Show HN: We open sourced our entire text-to-SQL product
Depends how good you want the application to be
cerved··on Subroutine calls in the ancient world, before computers had stacks or heaps
seems like Vim does too
