Ray Tracing in J 2020-04-18 I've been reading up on J and decided another small project was in order, this time I've written a minimal ray tracer. Brevity J is, perhaps infamously, a terse language. I think it may sometimes get unfairly discounted for this brevity because of the flavor of the syntax (namely, ASCII). It can be a little hard to describe, but the syntax isn't the hard part of learning J, the jarring parts are a result of the paradigm differences in array programming. By the tim

And indeed, the highly complex tasks I’ve handed to them have largely resulted in failure: implementing a minimax algorithm in a novel card game, crafting thoughtful animations in CSS, completely refactoring a codebase. The LLMs routinely get lost in the sauce when it comes to thinking through the high level principles required to solve difficult problems with computer science. In the example above, my human implemented version of minimax from 2018 totals 400 lines of code, whereas Claude Code’

It is intended for those with (some) programming experience, but others should be mostly fine after looking up some basic programming terms like function, argument, class, instance, inheritance, statement, expression, etc. Don't treat this as a reference: Section titles do not introduce an exhau

Etsy is selling Reverb, six years after it purchased the online marketplace for musical instruments. Reverb didn't say how much money is changing hands, but Etsy purchased the company for $275 million in 2019. In its announcement, Reverb said that the investors Creator Partners, which was founded by former SoundCloud CEO Kerry Trainor, and Servco, the owner of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, have entered an agreement to buy the company. The marketplace will not be merging with either inv

🌸 Typed Japanese If you can write TypeScript, you can understand Japanese! Typed Japanese is a TypeScript type-level library that enables the expression of complete Japanese sentences through the type system. It creates a domain-specific language (DSL) based on Japanese grammar rules, allowing a subset of grammatically correct natural language to be written and verified using TypeScript's compiler. This project also explores an intermediate format for AI in language learning. For example, LLM

Some of the earliest surviving works of the Flemish luminary Pieter Bruegel the Elder are not his detail-rich peasant scenes that furnish art history courses the world over, but painted serving plates, or roundels. (A 1557 example was attributed to Bruegel in 2000, making it his oldest surviving genre painting, according to Elizabeth Alice Honig.) The twelve scenes here, dated to 1558, use the follies of life as pathways toward profundity — and while they may spark insight, they certainly do not
