Are there guides in this "From the Bottom Up"-style for other technologies?

Would be very helpful for Docker or Kubernetes, for example. The only one that comes to mind is From Nand to Tetris. https://www.nand2tetris.org/

Which of the model requirements of Coral TPUs [1] are the most problematic for LLMs?

Some CLI viewers for logs are listed on https://github.com/dloss/klp, as alternatives to my own little tool "klp".

Here's a bootable ISO that you can use to run Tempest in a desktop VM of your choice. http://dirk-loss.de/tempest-showroom.htm

For people sleeping alone, this counting technique might be a nerdy alternative: http://www.dirk-loss.de/calmyourmind/

Moreover, I find Shinzen Young's reframing helpful: "Amazingly, it’s possible to get a good night’s rest without necessarily sleeping much or at all. Two things are required: (1) that the body get rest by lying very still and corpse-like. (2) that the consciousness get rest by engaging in a systematic focusing technique." https://www.shinzen.org/help-for-insomnia-yet-another-use-fo...

What would a programming language matching those design criteria look like?

Maybe try this simple counting technique inspired by mindfulness meditation: http://www.dirk-loss.de/calmyourmind/

Its dataframe support (based on Apache Arrow and the Polars Rust library) looks very interesting. https://www.nushell.sh/book/dataframes.html

Or just call the Web your antilibrary.

It's automatic. As if there were no page boundaries, like in text diffs). But for a paged-based diff-tool it would already be quite useful, if the user could interactively specify pages to ignore, so that the comparison can start again where both docs are the same (e.g. at the start of the next chapter).

Most important for me is the ability to ignore page boundaries. Removing the first half of the first page of one source document shouldn't produce differences on all following pages.

And none of the other tools I've tried was significantly better than the old GPL-licensed version of DiffPDF: http://www.qtrac.eu/diffpdf-foss.html

i-net PDFC is my favorite tool in this space (after having tried a dozen others). Awesome features, multi-platform. Free trial version and an online demo available. https://www.inetsoftware.de/products/pdf-content-comparer

Not affiliated in any way, just a happy user.

Like Meteocool? https://github.com/v4lli/meteocool

Developed by a former colleague of mine. Open source and my favorite for 2h forecasts about upcoming rain in Germany.

Nice! Some other tools and parsers: https://github.com/dloss/binary-parsing

Good. Now summarize Wikipedia.

Well explained. Here‘s a little webapp for easy experimentation with the algorithm: http://sshvis.appspot.com/

Drawing some diagrams helped me understand remote port forwarding and OpenSSH's port:host:port syntax: http://dirk-loss.de/ssh-port-forwarding.htm

If you're wondering why there's a "drunken bishop" reference: There's a little story in the intro to our paper to explain the OpenSSH fingerprint visualization algorithm. http://dirk-loss.de/sshvis/drunken_bishop.pdf

Ever since I heard Mary Lou Jepsen (OLPC/Oculus Rift) talk about her work on a revolutionary holographic medical imaging system, I've been expecting Apple to buy her Openwater startup, add resources and introduce cheap, safe MRI-like body/brain scanners for the masses. If it works, it could be bigger than the iPhone. https://www.openwater.cc/technology

Yes, the Python bindings include functions to deal with Pandas dataframes. Look at the examples: https://github.com/cwida/duckdb/blob/master/examples/python/...

"[...] this allows Haskell to be used as a scripting language for Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser". Interesting. Never heard of that.

EDIT: Add link

Reminds me of David Beazley's talk about being locked in a hidden vault to analyse 1.5 TBytes of C++ source code. No tools or internet connection, but a Python interpreter. https://pyvideo.org/pycon-us-2014/discovering-python.html

Interesting interlude. The diagnosis of fibromyalgia and the recommendation to see a psychologist reminded me of Gabor Maté‘s book „When the body says no“: https://drgabormate.com/preview/when-the-body-says-no-chapte...

mkdir /var/tmp/vlang0.0.12 fixes the Segmentation fault for me

EDIT: Not needed anymore

I use this simple technique, which is a simple technology-assisted hybrid of mindfulness meditation and counting sheep: http://www.dirk-loss.de/calmyourmind/
