Want to Write a Compiler? Just Read These Two Papers (2008)

It's not about technology for its own sake. It's about being able to implement your ideas. Imagine you don't know anything about programming, and you want learn how to do it.

Now imagine that it's more than just a poor choice, but that all the books on programming are at written at that level. That's the situation with books about writing compilers.

Good Sleep, Good Learning (2012)

The good educator insists on exercise, play, and plentiful sleep: "the great cordial of nature." It is everyone's dream to wake up fresh, happy, and ready for action on a daily basis. Sadly, in the modern world, only a small minority lives that dream. Yet the dream is within reach for most healthy people given: I hope that this article compiles all the basic ingredients of knowledge that are helpful in accomplishing refreshing sleep. As for the sacrifice, it is important to begin with the understanding that one cannot eat one's cake and have it too. Healthy sleep may be incompatible with some modern habits, some cravings, or some lifestyle choices. At worst, refreshing sleep may be incompatible with one's job or even long-term goals. Due to the latter fact, this article cannot provide a solution for everyone. Moreover, having a happy and fresh mind on a daily basis is a difficult thing to accomplish even with an arsenal of knowledge and full focus on good sleep. However, let me state it emphatically, good sleep on most nights is feasible for most people !

The Future of Everything Is Lies, I Guess: New Jobs

This is a long article, so I'm breaking it up into a series of posts which will be released over the next few days. You can also read the full work as a PDF or EPUB ; these files will be updated as each section is released. As we deploy ML more broadly, there will be new kinds of work. I think much of it will take place at the boundary between human and ML systems. Incanters could specialize in prompting models. Process and statistical engineers might control errors in the systems around ML outputs and in the models themselves. A surprising number of people are now employed as model trainers , feeding their human expertise to automated systems. Meat shields may be required to take accountability when ML systems fail, and haruspices could interpret model behavior. LLMs are weird. You can sometimes get better results by threatening them, telling them they’re experts, repeating your commands, or lying to them that they’ll receive a financial bonus. Their performance degrades over longer inputs, and tokens that were helpful in one task can contaminate another, so good LLM users think a lot about limiting the context that’s fed to the model.
