Functional programming Updated 2025-07-16
Even if we cannot do everything in functional, we should at least strive to clearly extract functional substes in what we do.

Nu (letter) Updated 2025-07-16
Why would physicists use a letter such that:
  • the upper case version looks exactly like an upper case N. At least that is the correct pronunciation/name/historical successor of .
  • the lower case version looks exactly like a lower case V
Why? Why?????????

LLVM front-end for C and related language like C++ etc.
Coulomb gauge Updated 2025-07-16
Alternative to the Lorentz gauge, but less used in general as it is not as nice for relativity invariance.

Artificial general intelligence Updated 2025-07-16
Given enough computational power per dollar, AGI is inevitable, but it is not sure certain ever happen given the end of end of Moore's Law.
Alternatively, it could also be achieved genetically modified biological brains + brain in a vat.
Imagine a brain the size of a building, perfectly engineered to solve certain engineering problems, and giving hints to human operators + taking feedback from cameras and audio attached to the operators.
This likely implies transhumanism, and mind uploading.
Ciro Santilli joined the silicon industry at one point to help increase our computational capacity and reach AGI.
Ciro believes that the easiest route to full AI, if any, could involve Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.
