In the world of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), change tends to happen very slowly and cautiously.

Before asking the question, how do I build AGI, you first must ask the question, what would I recognize as AGI? I suspect there’s not a “real” answer for this. Humans can be fooled both ways, into thinking simple things have “intelligence” and “life”, and into thinking complex things don’t. Though they usually aren’t fooled for too long, at least with the simple things. I define AGI as a machine capable of taking (almost) any human job . This says a few things about what it must be like.ai . (BACK TO TOP)

I get to lead a monthly session with Calm’s staff engineers. Some months that is mostly a Q&A, but I find the best sessions have at least some component of directed learning.

Over the summer my family has experienced a brief renaissance of interest in Sudoku, particularly as I've tried to get my kids to practice solving some non-trivial puzzles (pro tip: YouTube videos help).

In fact, I've already written a Sudoku solver many years ago ; it converts the puzzle into a SAT problem and solves that using a standard SAT solver.g. YMMV.0 (hardest). (BACK TO TOP)
A common question that comes up when writing AST-based tooling in Go is "how do I find a node's parent?", or more generally, "what are all the ancestors of a given node?" Go's AST package does not come with parent links out of the box; this is a common choice in AST libraries [1] . Parent links are rarely needed, but they carry significant overheads in terms of memory usage and CPU time. Typical AST nodes can be fairly compact and adding a pointer to each node can increase its size considerably. (BACK TO TOP)
