It's not been updated since March 27.

Cover page of the story: Pi and the Never-Ending Adventure Shows a happy Pi, the mathematical symbol, going on a journey along its digits.

I made a story for the Pi Day to read at my kid's kindergarten class tomorrow:

The nicest article about JPEG compression, by @sophielwang.bsky.social The moment there are color stats involved, I’m in.

It’s so well done it makes me think we need some kind of online library where articles like this get preserved.

What even is the AT Protocol?

@jason.energy and I talked about @atproto.com and what the future of social media can look like, where users are in control and developers are given more interoperability opportunities

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's standard library from the GPU. This has never been done before.

Supporting Rust's standard library enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming feel normal.

“In-Context Learning” is a hilariously bad name for “include examples or correct and incorrect usage”. It’s not learning. It’s steering!

Many of the metaphors most commonly used of ML systems are annoyingly misleading—arguably including the ‘L’ in ML!—but the problem has gotten much worse lately.

I tested jj today on a fresh macos env (zsh, no customizations), and it did work nicely. I'm guessing my other env has some env-vars that confuses jj.

With piping, I would get correct characters, but without any formatting. So, not very helpful.

I'll keep looking for the culprit.

Quick h/u that, in my experience, jj's pager behavior is kind of unstable on macos. I spent a bit on troubleshooting, but no luck.

The problem: control sequences become visual characters somehow.

lol, lmao. Okay I’m going to explain this hack because it’s pretty clever.

Non-technical people should know that this is a fun thing that a user created and there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s not exactly standard

The Prospero Challenge Evaluate a 7866-clause math expression for fame and glory

@matt.godbolt.org have you seen @mattkeeter.com 's "Prospero Challenge"? Several folks used compiler optimization techniques on it so I thought you'd be interested!

His presentation here gives more context and is worth a watch!

Comic. Doing a task using a company or organization’s website: [flowchart] Go to website, try to log in → Did it work? → Yes → Try to do your task. → Did it work? Yes → Nice! Done! If logging in did not work → Spend hours troubleshooting account / login. If that works, go to Try to do your task. If no → Give up and call customer service. If spending hours troubleshooting doesn’t work, also give up and call customer service. After calling customer service: Hold message: “Did you know you could do all this more quickly and easily on our website? Just go to w-w-w dot…” → Throw phone and laptop into the sea.

Also, poetry has been a weapon against tyranny.

Coincident? I don't think so.

Early pandemic, we wanted to organize efforts and were missing exact data. So, I used Google My Maps, overlaid the satellite layer while looking at the official map photo.

Most cities pay for their GIS app and I believe the company that has the monopoly has deprived them from sharing via the contract structure. And that's the reason for cities not publishing proper files.
