Because it came up again today and according to xkcd.com/1053/ some of you probably don‘t know it yet:

It is very interesting to know where the name "grep" came from in computer history and why. This video perfectly explains it. Just grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy 🤓

This is a particularly sobering piece from #computerphile - with more and more #llm's reading your email we have a whole new attack vector: youtu.be/rAEqP9VEhe8 #prompthacking

More on #DeepSeek from #Computerphile: youtube.com/watch?v=gY4Z-9QlZ6

I'm still unsure on how "open source" the DeepSeek model is but I certainly prefer any steps on making these things reproducible rather than hidden behind someone's proprietary #api and server farm. My main takeaway is it is exciting to have stuff that can run on consumer hardware and didn't have to boil a small ocean to train it. #llm #genai

#computerphile does their year end retrospective with a montage of interviewees’ least favorite programming language. No surprise on the front runners.

Every time I watch a video, I imagine an immense warehouse at the university of Nottingham with aisles and aisles of shelves, stacked floor to ceiling with green and white striped continuous feed computer paper.

```c

int main() {
char bucketList[10][100];
int count = 0;

strcpy(bucketList[count++], "Meet Brian Kernighan and Professor Brailsford to talk about C, Unix, and computer history");

strcpy(bucketList[count++], "Give a talk about Go, PHP, Linux or C");

...

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {

A #Computerphile video on #CrowdStrike ... Yes it's yesterday's news but these guys have a way of explaining handwavy stuff I like.

@ryanc like Tom Scott said - praise the giants before you and thank them for time/zone library - use unixtimestamp and retranslate back as you prefer - here the video that never get old*

Un peu technique et en anglais, mais j'ai bien aimé cette vidéo de #Computerphile qui explore l'hypothèse (papier scientifique à l'appui) selon laquelle l' #IA pourrait bientôt atteindre un plateau en terme de performances --contrairement à l'idée (très complaisante et pas du tout étayée) d'une progression linéaire illimitée, voire exponentielle.
