Singapore's plan to merge several islands could wipe out coral reefs
SINGAPORE — “For seven thousand years, Singapore has changed around these reefs,” says Debby Ng, a Singaporean biologist who studies the city-state’s shrinking coastlines of seagrasses, mangroves and corals. “They are still here.” Despite colonization, war, shipping and industrialization, reefs a few kilometers south of Singapore’s gleaming shoreline have endured. “It would be a tragedy […]

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get a new MIDI Merge box. Time for some MIDI feedback loops and congestion / bandwidth abuse! Or just some new good ol' human-duets-with-generative machine artifacts.

The HomeView is $299. A year ago you could get a the normal iPad (much larger screen) for less than that new (now its $449).
I’ve long used iPads in the kitchen, the screen is great both for recipes and for entertainment (like watching YouTube while cooking).
Given that screens are currently probably the least affected from AI hype computer component crisis, I’m not sure why they didn’t put a larger 4:3 one on there (or make it an option).
If it’s for the kitchen, a lot of people will want to watch cooking videos.
So it seems like the thing is a not very good speaker, a not very good iPad, a not very good videophone and a not very good smart home controller.
Honestly I don’t get why Apple wouldn’t buy HomeAssistant and merge it with their technologies to make it the most amazing thing ever (keep it open source like with WebKit, so other people can build on it).

I would like to merge two entries in #MusicBrainz and could need the votes for it. Anybody want to review and vote for the merge?

Już nie zliczę merge requestów, gdzie żywcem AI zostawia komentarze, że nie znalazł czegoś i nie mógł przetestować i trzeba podać przy review informacje.

Wystarczy przeczytać i podać. Potem inni ludzie robią review na odwal z AI - i nawet tego nie oflagują i leci to do repo. Potem sprawdzam sobie wstecz historię i znajduje takie kwiatki - dokumentacja to największy śmietnik AI slopu.

Experimenting with skip-lists for malloc today. With a first-fit allocator, free() wants to merge adjacent blocks, so it needs to search for them. A single-linked list makes that O(N). A skip-list seems like an interesting option—non-recursive, low memory use and simple implementation. It's "working", but it's not pretty yet. Anyone else ever played with these?

Generalized Constraint Projection: Four-Dimensional Type Inference for Dynamic Languages
Qunhui Zhang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19693 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.19693 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.19693
arXiv:2607.19693v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Type inference for dynamically typed languages must reconcile four distinct sources of evidence for function parameters: internal assignments, explicit declarations, contextual requirements, and structural operations. Existing systems often merge these sources into one constraint set, causing spurious conflicts or requiring redundant annotations. We present Generalized Constraint Projection (GCP), a zero-annotation inference framework that stores the four sources in separate monotone slots on a stable definition-time template and checks each call in a fresh projection session. Ordinary calls verify concrete arguments and specialize return types without modifying the template, while currying produces residual projected functions. GCP uses Outline Equational Matching (OEM), a structural compatibility preorder with an open bidirectional delegation protocol, and future this, a receiver-preserving extension for subtype-refining fluent APIs. On the strict success fragment of a finite-height type preorder, we prove monotonicity, local and global convergence in $O(Nh_T)$ effective updates, conditional projection-obligation soundness, projection termination, multi-module convergence, and order independence under fair monotone iteration. For the pure, recursion-free core Outline0, we additionally prove big-step evaluation definedness, type preservation, runtime receiver retention, and projection-evaluation coherence. We instantiate GCP in the Outline dynamic language as a typed substrate for ontology worlds and apply it to unannotated Python source to recover PEP 484 annotations for downstream compilation.
