Qwen models are by Alibaba. The VL versions are for visual inputs to generating code. Listed in ollama

DeepSeek, Chinese model. Listed in ollama

GLM is a Chinese model. I don't see it listed in Ollama though.

oh neat, so basically the NewType thing is a way to be more explicit about what a function is expecting, without needing to spend loads of time defining a dataclass and so on - it's a bit like annotating an existing type like a string, in a way that subsequent functions fo look for

We're at the point in humanity's development of computing infrastructure where the source code for program texts (e.g. a module definition) should be rich text and not just ASCII/UTF-8.

Forget that I said "rich text" for a moment and pretend that I was just narrowly talking about the inclusion of, say, graphical diagrams in source code comments.

Could we do this today? Answer: yes.

"Sure, you could define a format, but what should it look like? You're going to have to deal with lots of competing proposals for how to actually encode those documents, right?" Answer: no, not really. We have a ubiquitous, widely supported format that is capable of encoding this and more: HTML.

Now consider what else we could do with that power. Consider a TypeScript alternative that works not by inserting inline type annotations into the program text, but instead by encoding the type of a given identifier via the HTML class attribute.

Now consider program parametrization where a module includes multiple options for the way that you use it, and you configure it as the programmer by opening up the module definition in your program editor, gesturing at the thing it is that you want to concretely specify, selecting one of those options, and have the program text for the module react accordingly—without erasing or severing the mechanism for configuration, so if another programmer wants to change the module parameters to satisfy some future need—or lift that module from your source tree and use it in another one for a completely different program—then they can reconfigure it with the same mechanism that you used.

Voici un sommaire de la vidéo avec des indications temporelles basées sur le déroulement du contenu :

• Introduction (Début de la vidéo) : L'introduction est faite par Elena, la fondatrice de Toadhouse Games. Elle explique que ce tutoriel est conçu pour les débutants qui n'ont aucune connaissance en codage et que les premières vidéos seront gratuites sur YouTube. Elle présente Ren'Py comme un moteur de roman visuel utilisé par des milliers de créateurs.

• Qu'est-ce que Ren'Py ? (Environ 0:00 - 1:00) : Ren'Py est un moteur pour créer des romans visuels et de la fiction interactive. Bien qu'il fonctionne avec du code Python, il n'est pas nécessaire de savoir coder pour l'utiliser. Le logiciel fournit tout ce dont vous avez besoin, y compris des éditeurs de texte.

• Téléchargement de Ren'Py (Environ 1:00 - 2:00) : Il faut se rendre sur ri.org et cliquer sur le bouton de téléchargement. Différentes versions sont disponibles pour Windows, Mac, Linux, Android et iOS. Une fois le fichier téléchargé, il faut l'exécuter et extraire les fichiers dans le dossier de votre choix.

• Ouverture et présentation du lanceur Ren'Py (Environ 2:00 - 4:00) : Dans le dossier extrait, double-cliquez sur l'application Ren'Py (l'icône avec un anime) pour ouvrir le lanceur. Le lanceur affiche les projets ouverts (tutoriel et question par défaut) et les fichiers associés à chaque projet. Sur la droite, l'option "script" permet d'accéder aux fichiers de code, qui peuvent être édités dans un éditeur de texte comme Atom. Ren'Py peut télécharger et installer Atom pour vous.

• Exploration des fichiers du projet (Environ 4:00 - 5:00) : Le dossier "game" contient tous les fichiers du jeu (audio, musique, images, etc.). Un raccourci vers le dossier "images" est également disponible. Le fichier "script" contient le code du jeu, y compris les dialogues, les transitions, la musique et les scènes. Les options et les écrans (screens) permettent de personnaliser l'apparence du jeu.

• Construction et distribution du jeu (Environ 5:00 - 5:30) : L'option "build distributions" permet de créer une version jouable de votre jeu pour la partager avec d'autres sur différentes plateformes comme PC, Linux, Mac, itch.io ou Steam.

• Exercice pratique avec le projet "The Question" (Environ 5:30 - 8:00) : Il est recommandé de sélectionner le projet "the question" et de lancer le projet pour jouer au jeu. Ensuite, ouvrez le script du projet "the question". L'exercice consiste à jouer au jeu tout en regardant le code correspondant dans l'éditeur de texte. Cela permet de comprendre comment le code contrôle le déroulement du jeu (musique, scènes, dialogues, choix). Il est possible de faire de petites modifications dans le script et de recharger le jeu pour voir les changements.

• Présentation de Scrivener (Environ 8:00 - 9:00) : Scrivener est un logiciel optionnel qui peut être utilisé pour écrire le dialogue et organiser le contenu de votre roman visuel. Un modèle Ren'Py pour Scrivener créé par Toadhouse Games est disponible. Scrivener propose des conseils d'écriture de base et des modèles pour les profils de personnages et le code Ren'Py.

• Conclusion (Environ 9:00 - Fin de la vidéo) : Elena encourage les spectateurs à commencer à expérimenter avec Ren'Py en modifiant le projet "the question". Des tutoriels plus avancés sur les "flags" et les choix seront proposés ultérieurement. Des ressources d'aide sont disponibles sur Twitter, par e-mail (teamtoadhouse@gmail.com), sur les subreddits et les forums Ren'Py, ainsi que sur le Discord de Toadhouse Games.

yes! numbers. of course. let me put that "somewhere" on my todo list...

for - semantic folding - semantic fingerprint - cortical.io - numenta - sparse coding - Francisco Webber - symmathesetic fingerprint

summary - In this informative interview, Francisco Webber, a principal cofounder of Cortical.io, discusses how the company's core technology, semantic folding and semantic fingerprints of words is unique and differs from the usual AI large language models. - Cortical I/O's approach is a biomimicry approach that is based on representing words in the way that brain operates. - It employs a word-to-geometry mapping implemented using Numenta's sparse coding technique. - This approach allows Cortical to train using very small training data sets of 100 gigabytes of data, which takes a few hours to train - many orders of magnitudes smaller than normal AI training data sets.

for - key insight - failure of the gene coding uni-causal model - key insight - failure of genetic determinism

for - comparison - genome coding to computer program

One danger of abstraction; in unusual situations, the simplified model may provide incorrect predictions. For this reason, computer programming practitioners should have some understanding of how computers operate as well as detailed knowledge of the programming language.

What is an assembler language? https://en.itpedia.nl/2019/11/11/wat-is-een-assembler-taal/ An #assembler_language is a low-level programming_language designed for a specific processor type. We can produce Assembler by compiling #source_code from a high-level programming language (such as C / C ++). But we can also write #programs in this language ourselves. In turn, we can convert Assembler_code into machine_code using an assembler.

The last several years have been marked with the rise of different marketplaces. Airbnb, AliExpress, Etsy, Booking.com are on everyone’s lips. That's not surprising that the idea of launching a second Amazon or eBay seems so appealing.

To win the e-commerce race, entrepreneurs focus on providing excellent customer experience and build fast-loading and scalable websites. Besides, business owners take various security measures to protect their customers’ sensitive information. This way, they can gain clients’ trust and boost sales.

When building a custom marketplace, what technology stack is best to achieve all these goals? Our answer is simple: Ruby on Rails.

In this article, we will fill you in on the Ruby on Rails marketplace development. At Codica, we are passionate fans of this framework and have built numerous e-commerce platforms with its help. Based on our experience, we will discuss the key reasons to choose RoR for building a successful marketplace.

Lean Canvas

For the builders collective, I created some tools that are open source and useful for design and social architecture. Other projects are coding challenges to experiment with what is possible on the web.

This experiment is based on the Lean Canvas, based on the Business Model Canvas from the book Business Model Generation.

Resuena con lo que hemos dicho en la comunidad de Grafoscopio, de no similar el computador en la cabeza, de ahí la importacia del live coding y los metasistemas, programados en sí mismos.

Alan Jacobs eschews the admonishment that everyone should learn to code and posits a more basic early literacy stepping-stone to coding: learning some basic preliminaries of self-hosting. This is likely much easier for most people and could build a better runway for those who would like to learn to code later on.

I've seen this sentiment before as well.This is also well attested in writing code too.

Writing for the public keeps you honest and makes one put more work into the product than they otherwise might.

I was going through my Firefox bookmarks and I found article. I had read this article two years back and had commented that I found it to be useful. I read it back in May 2018. As of now, November 2020, my programming skills are still novice-level. I haven't implemented the ideas or followed suggestions given here.

It has been 2 years and 5 months since I found this article to be relevant and it baffles me that I haven't taken action by making use of the knowledge given in this article. Two long years flew by. I guess reviewing my bookmarks is something that I will do more often.

The article was posted on May 23, 2018 and I had stumbled on it the next day itself, i.e., May 24, 2018. This gets me thinking that we could finds solutions for problems(latest ones in this case) once we identify it, articulate it, hit the search button and just read stuff. I could presume that what happened next was that I misunderstood "finding a solution" to "realizing the solution", and perhaps became complacent or maybe there were more problems that didn't come to my awareness to identify and further find solutions. I'm not quite sure. Should I have identified my problems and googled more so that I could have learned C and C++ sooner?

I wonder what held me back from taking action to accomplish and master something that usually takes not more that 5-6 months maximum.

On learning programming

• Master one first programming language first, before moving to the next.
• Learn at a slow for the first two programming languages. This is important for beginners
• Practising coding is more important than watching tutorials or reading books. You learn more by practising than by reading or watching videos.
• Apart from tutorials, immitating open source projects is very important
• Read others code and immitate it. You'll be surprised at how fast you're learning.
• Make use of StackOverflow, Quora and programming subreddits.Ask questions there. Interact more.
• Practice more. Write code from time to time. Debugging skills imporove with more coding practice.
• Test your skills with quizzes, challenges and competitive programming

Practice programming challenges with HackerEarth and then move to TopCoder.

Project Euler emphasises on programming challenges that involve problem solving and critical thinking skills.

You'll learn more when you read others' code and immitate it. CodeChef provides you access to learn from others' code.

What is Mercurial?

what are scalar values in JavaScript?

It would be great to have a bi-directional link here to a reputable source.

That brings up the questions of how you define reputation...

I'm not really sure I agree with this. Regardless of whether Singularity eventually comes around or not, software will evolve. We have seen whole languages fall out of usage in the past, including Fortran, COBOL, ALGOL, etc. Developers will always be looking to get more efficient, and our current languages will either get abandoned or improved. New languages will come up and become the new standard. If anything, the future seems to be far more bleak for programmers/developers in the years after Singularity, rather than in the years leading upto it - after all, with the prevalence of docile, conscious machines,most of the work programmers do, everything from bug-fixing to data-analytics, would be done more quickly, cheaply and efficiently by the machines. In other words, in the world of singularity, programmers as we know them would no longer exist.

Thank you!

To me, the most interesting about this program is that it sounds like it’s targeting post-secondary institutions. There are multiple programs to “teach kids to code”. Compulsory education (primary and secondary) can provide a great context for these, in part because the type of learning involved is so broad and pedagogical skills are so recognized. In post-secondary contexts, however, there’s a strong tendency to limit coding to very specific contexts, including Computer Science or individual programs. We probably take for granted that people who need broad coding skills can develop them outside of their college and university programs. In a way, this isn’t that surprising if we’re to compare coding to very basic skills, like typing. Though there are probably many universities and colleges where students can get trained in typing, it’s very separate from the curriculum. It might be “college prep”, but it’s not really a college prerequisite. And there isn’t that much support in post-secondary education. Of course, there are many programs, in any discipline, giving a lot of weight to coding skills. For instance, learners in Digital Humanities probably hone in their ability to code, at some point in their career. And it’s probably hard for most digital arts programs to avoid at least some training in programming languages. It’s just that these “general” programs in coding tend to focus almost exclusively on so-called “K–12 Education”. That this program focuses on diversity is also interesting. Not surprising, as many such initiatives have to do with inequalities, real or perceived. But it might be where something so general can have an impact in Higher Education. It’s also interesting to notice that there isn’t much in terms of branding or otherwise which explicitly connects this initiative with colleges and universities. Pictures on the site show (diverse) adults, presumably registered students at universities and colleges where “education partners” are to be found. But it sounds like the idea of a “school” is purposefully left quite broad or even ambiguous. Of course, these programs might also benefit adult learners who aren’t registered at a formal institution of higher learning. Which would make it closer to “para-educational” programs. In fact, there might something of a lesson for the future of universities and colleges.

For instance, learners in Digital Humanities probably hone in their ability to code, at some point in their career. And it’s probably hard for most digital arts programs to avoid at least some training in programming languages. It’s just that these “general” programs in coding tend to focus almost exclusively on so-called “K–12 Education”. That this program focuses on diversity is also interesting. Not surprising, as many such initiatives have to do with inequalities, real or perceived. But it might be where something so general can have an impact in Higher Education. It’s also interesting to notice that there isn’t much in terms of branding or otherwise which explicitly connects this initiative with colleges and universities. Pictures on the site show (diverse) adults, presumably registered students at universities and colleges where “education partners” are to be found. But it sounds like the idea of a “school” is purposefully left quite broad or even ambiguous. Of course, these programs might also benefit adult learners who aren’t registered at a formal institution of higher learning. Which would make it closer to “para-educational” programs. In fact, there might something of a lesson for the future of universities and colleges.
