A programming language that is compiled for NES. Has a built-in map editor and a bank switching. Sometimes I think how it would've been cool to make a game for NES. Maybe this could be a good tool for that.

Diaspora*'s developer's thoughts on ActivityPub soon after it was released. It's like he foresaw every issue there is, without even implementing the protocol. Such insight. He foresaw that C2S won't get much use, he foresaw reply forwarding problems, he foresaw everything!

The scripts.

It might be worth to prepare your data for a big electric spark. The spark is unlikely, but still. Your safest bets are discs and paper, the two optical storage media.

It is possible to host read-only SQLite databases on static file hosters. Might be useful in some cases.

An honest opinion on Docker. J3s thinks that Docker is useful when the application is too complex to install properly, and that developers should make the installation part simple instead of relying on Docker. Yeah, I agree.

A space exploration game with spaceships programmable in Tal. I follow the development but don't play. Looks cool.

One can use gzip to classify data.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are often used for text classification due to their high accuracy. However, DNNs can be computationally intensive, requiring millions of parameters and large amounts of labeled data, which can make them expensive to use, to optimize, and to transfer to out-of-distribution (OOD) cases in practice. In this paper, we propose a non-parametric alternative to DNNs that’s easy, lightweight, and universal in text classification: a combination of a simple compressor like gzip with a k-nearest-neighbor classifier. Without any training parameters, our method achieves results that are competitive with non-pretrained deep learning methods on six in-distribution datasets.It even outperforms BERT on all five OOD datasets, including four low-resource languages. Our method also excels in the few-shot setting, where labeled data are too scarce to train DNNs effectively.

Our method is a simple, lightweight, and uni- versal alternative to DNNs. It’s simple because it doesn’t require any preprocessing or training. It’s lightweight in that it classifies without the need for parameters or GPU resources. It’s universal as com- pressors are data-type agnostic, and non-parametric methods do not bring underlying assumptions.

Without any pre-training or fine-tuning, our method outperforms both BERT and mBERT on all five datasets.

A description of a fantasy device.

The rock phone accepts various types of input: speech, morse code tap/hold, written characters, bluetooth keyboard, bluetooth headsets. The rock phone produces various types of output: speech, morse code beeps, bluetooth serial console, console avilable by wifi, remote screen available via wifi. The rock phone has a bone conduction speaker inside so you can place the rock phone on your temple or behind your ear to privately hear rock phone speech output/sounds, phone calls, music, or any other sound the rock phone might make.
