I think I’ve finally pinpointed why it is that I have an allergic reaction when I’m confronted with a text that has me as the intended recipient, but that has been run through an LLM to change or “clean up” the wording - especially if it’s internal communication or even direct communication. Well, at the very least, I…
We’re launching the Claude Partner Network, a program for partner organizations helping enterprises adopt Claude.
So where has the last six months gone ? I was planning on getting images done for Fedora 44 Beta but I was unwell and busy and ran out of time. So what better time to get them out than Pi Day! .
Understanding the social media zeitgeist around CLIs and the premature death of MCP
AI agents address the remaining concerns with having your documentation alongside your code in version control
Jazzband is sunsetting. New signups are disabled. Project leads will be contacted before PyCon US 2026 to coordinate transfers. The wind-down plan has the timeline. The retrospective looks back at the past decade.
Sound economic planning and policymaking requires trustworthy data. Private data can serve as a complement but not fully replace official U.S. statistics.
Why Universal Basic Income (UBI) Is the Only Way to Share AI and Productivity Gains With Everyone
The story goes like this. ComputerCraft is a mod that adds programming to Minecraft. You write Lua code that gets executed by a bespoke interpreter with access to world APIs, and now you’re writing code instead of having fun. Computers have limited disk space, and my /nix folder is growing out of control, so I need to…
AI tools lower the barrier to producing code, not to building reliable systems. The hard part — maintaining alignment between specifications, tests, and implementation — has not gone away. Expertise still matters.
Lessons about XML from the open source IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.
Anthropic is silently A/B testing Claude Code's plan mode on paying users. This isn't a consumer app. Stop treating it like one.
Mathematical research traditionally involves a small number of professional mathematicians working closely on difficult problems. However, I have long believed that there is a complementary way to …
In this piece, two researchers from PLA-affiliated National University of Defense Technology argue that Starlink will negatively impact global stability, in light of its clear military applications, increased risks of accidents and collisions in space, and SpaceX's close relationship with the U.S. military. The…
JPEG is a clever image compression algorithm that exploits a human perceptual bias and the structure of natural images. It makes a change of basis before encoding so that the rewritten image representation concentrates the signal that humans are most perceptive to, and thus, the remaining details can be discarded…
Media over QUIC: I'm on a boat.
[2026-03-16 Mon 03:09] Since this might be prone to misinterpretation as an excuse to treat people rudely, a clarification is warranted. Being direct is not rude, and this style of communication assumes an established …
A systematic audit of Algolia DocSearch found 39 admin API keys exposed across projects like Home Assistant, KEDA, and vcluster.
101 interactive pandas exercises with solutions. Edit and run every code block directly in your browser — no installation needed.
The new MacBook Neo announcement raises old questions around what rights we have (and don't have) to install software on devices we own.
Multiplayer has been the single most requested feature for Teardown ever since before its initial release. Synchronizing physics over the network is already known to be hard, and on top of that we have a completely dynamic, destructible world with full modding support. For a long time, we considered the whole idea…
Lessons learned from piloting in the third dimension
Every agent gets its own isolated container inside a micro VM. No dedicated hardware needed. No complex setup.
For a decade, I have been working with AWS and third-party security teams to resolve bucketsquatting / bucketsniping issues in AWS S3. Finally, I am happy to say AWS now has a solution to the problem, and it changes the way you should name your buckets.
Vite 8 Release Announcement
There is a certain kind of computer review that is really a permission slip. It tells you what you’re allowed to want. It locates you in a taxonomy — student, creative, professional, power user — and assigns you a product. It is helpful. It is responsible. It has very little interest in what you might become.
In part 1 of this series , we found that users generally view the most popular collaborative text editing algorithms (including the most popular library, Yjs ) as silently corrupting their documents when the algorithms resolve direct editing conflicts. We argued that, while this is potentially ok for live…
TL;DR: AI-assisted coding is revealing a split among developers that was always there but invisible when we all worked the same way. I've felt the grief too—but mine resolved differently than I expected, and I think that says something about what kind of developer I've been all along.
