Unsure Calculator Loading... Calculate with numbers you’re not sure about Hi, I'm Filip, and I'd like to introduce to you an early version of an uncertainty calculator. Statistics are scary, but they don't need to be. If you allow me to simplify, the field of statistics is just saying: I'm not certain about these numbers, but I would still like to reason about them. Turns out we're unsure about a lot in our lives, but we can't just throw our arms in the air and say, well, I'm not a statistic

I've been called a masochist at times, and it's probably true. About 9 months ago I had an idea that the Nim language is able to get pretty wide hardware/OS support for "free" by compiling the language to C, and then letting standard C compilers take it from there. I theorized that the same could be done for .net, allowing .net code to be run on platforms without having to build native runtimes, interpretors, or AOT for each one individually. Fast forward a bit and I have a my dntc (Dotnet to C

Code is data and data is code. Years ago, I had a brief affair with Lisp and there I picked up this meme. Today, I believe there are also benefits in separating code and data. Glimpses of this debate come up whenever people discuss the syntax for yet another configuration schema. There are 5 levels of power for configuration languages. If you design a new schema, be aware of all of them. Level 1: String in a File The file system is a key-value store. The Linux kernel does it with procfs and s

For my game The Big Forest I want to have creatures that are both procedurally generated and animated, which, as expected, is quite a research challenge. As mentioned in my 2024 retrospective, I spent the last six months of 2024 working on this — three months on procedural model generation and three months on procedural animation. My work on the creatures actually started earlier though. According to my commit history, I started in 2021 after shipping Eye of the Temple for PCVR, though my work

What Can We Learn about Engineering and Innovation from Half a Century of the Game of Life Cellular Automaton? Metaengineering and Laws of Innovation Things are invented. Things are discovered. And somehow there’s an arc of progress that’s formed. But are there what amount to “laws of innovation” that govern that arc of progress? There are some exponential and other laws that purport to at least measure overall quantitative aspects of progress (number of transistors on a chip; number of paper

Onscreen Text Imitation Fansubbers use complex methods and algorithms to replicate the style of onscreen texts in their subtitles, so as to make the result look genuine for the viewer. These are not really subtitles, they’re titles, but I’ll be calling them “subtitles” from here on, since they are part of the subtitle file. In the first example, the word “transform” is a subtitle in both instances. Here’s an image of what the original looks like: And here’s a video of how it looks subtitled

I primarily run Linux, for work and for gaming. Unfortunately, some competitive games refuse to work on Linux or in virtual machines. This post explores installing and booting Windows 11 on physical hardware with a disk exported from a NAS. My primary operating system is Linux: I have it installed on my laptop and desktop. Thanks to the amazing work of the WINE, CodeWeavers, and Valve developers, it’s also where I do PC gaming. I can spin up Windows in a virtual machine for the rare times I nee

The automated logic behind many financial decisions — for example, decisions that determine whether a client is approved for a credit line — is hard-coded. Often, it’s not easily changed. If a head of credit at a bank wanted to adjust the bank’s lending criteria, for example, they’d likely have to raise a ticket with IT. Entrepreneurs Maximilian Eber and Maik Taro Wehmeyer, who met while studying at Harvard, ran up against the limitations of financial decisioning logic while at QuantCo, a compa

mdq: jq for Markdown What is mdq? mdq aims to do for Markdown what jq does for JSON: provide an easy way to zero in on specific parts of a document. For example, GitHub PRs are Markdown documents, and some organizations have specific templates with checklists for all reviewers to complete. Enforcing these often requires ugly regexes that are a pain to write and worse to debug. Instead, you can (for example) ask mdq for all uncompleted tasks: mdq ' - [ ] ' mdq is available under the Apache 2
