Discover TorchTPU, Google’s new engineering stack designed to run PyTorch natively on TPU infrastructure with peak efficiency. Learn how its "Eager First" philosophy and XLA integration simplify model migration while unlocking massive scalability for the next generation of AI.
A blog, notes, gallery, lifestyle and fully conglomerated posts from Joshua.
This post introduced GPT-5.5, a model built for complex tasks like coding, research, and data analysis across tools.
We traced recent reports of Claude Code quality issues to three separate changes. Here's what happened, what we fixed, and what we're changing.

Migrating to the new meshcore.io site
Porting a 2012 OpenCV paper to YOLOv8 and CoreML on iOS to score rifle shooting targets from a photo - replacing the brass-plug scoring gauge with on-device computer vision.
Or: How the 2020s broke our brains
When developing software to run in a Unix environment, you will often be able to use the same system features and benefit from good developer tools, regardless of the particular platform you're working on, as most processors will provide a rich instruction set and virtual memory, among other things.
First foray into the Zig programming language
X.400 promised recallable, scheduled, self-destructing email. Why simple SMTP won instead, and what we lost and gained when it did.
Today is fundraising announcement day . As is the nature of writing for a larger audience, it is a formal, safe announcement. As it should be. Writing must necessarily become impersonal at scale. But I would like to write something personal about why I am doing this. What is the goal of building exe.dev ? I am already…
iPads should be radically touch only, and MacBooks should be keyboard-first
As a follow-up to the similar milestone reached for our WSL image a few months ago, I’m happy to share that Arch Linux now has a bit-for-bit reproducible Docker image! This bit-for-bit reproducible image is distributed under a new “repro” tag. The reason for this is due to one noticeable caveat: to ensure…
OpenAI responds to the Axios supply chain attack by rotating macOS code signing certificates, updating apps, and confirming no user data was compromised.
OpenAI Privacy Filter is an open-weight model for detecting and redacting personally identifiable information (PII) in text with state-of-the-art accuracy
AI-assisted coding has become the norm and with tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, we are increasingly letting models touch our code. If you have used any of these tools in the past year, you have probably experienced something like this: you ask the model to fix a simple bug (perhaps a single…
Workspace agents in ChatGPT are Codex-powered agents that automate complex workflows, run in the cloud, and help teams scale work across tools securely.
From the Zed Blog: Run multiple agents at once, in the same window.
We discovered a privacy vulnerability in Firefox Private Browsing and Tor Browser that allows websites to fingerprint and track users across origins using IndexedDB database ordering, even after closing all private windows.
For over a century, fixed prices have made markets more transparent. Surveillance pricing threatens to reverse that progress by allowing corporations to secretly tailor prices using personal data.
I was chatting to a friend about my folding bike and I had the urge to write about it - because this falls in the category of “Things I wish I’d had decades ago”. And maybe I can encourage some others to try these wonderful devices. Note: I’m 3 months into a new job so blogging has taken a back seat to drinking from a…
three layers of system health, AI as cognitive system 3, what's expensive if agents make coding free, and the future of source code
We are releasing DuckDB version 1.5.2, a patch release with bugfixes, performance improvements, and support for the DuckLake 1.0 lakehouse format.
An attempt to detect AI design patterns in Show HN pages
A papyrus fragment of Homer’s epic The Iliad has been discovered inside the wrappings of Roman-era mummy . The mummy was found in a necropolis the ancient site of Oxyrhynchus (modern-day El-Bahnasa) in Egypt’s Minya Governorate. Archaeologists were able to remove the papyrus and identify the text as the “Index of…
Penn State experts in meteorology and atmospheric science made their way down the nation’s eastern coast in June 2024 in search of corona discharges, a long-hypothesized atmospheric weather phenomenon where miniscule pulses of electricity dance at the tips of tree leaves, causing the canopy to glow in the ultraviolet…
