I’ve been a longtime Claude Code user, ever since it became available in the Claude Pro subscription plan over a year ago. I remember the first time I used it, feeling giddy as it spat out messy Python code for whatever random weekend project I was working on, all from a single prompt. I’m certain that in a few years…
On a long pull request, checking what’s blocking often means scrolling past dozens of comments and timeline events just to reach the merge box. And once you’re there, you still…
Secure everything coding agents build, use, and ship - prevent risk before code exists, AutoFix the backlog, and protect the coding agents and supply chain.
In 2023 after the ChatGPT release, it was clear to me that research needed to be more organized to succeed than was typical within Microsoft Research . The amount of support and focus which other research groups were applying was great enough that even with a clever idea pursued by one person it was likely to arrive…
It's not about technology for its own sake. It's about being able to implement your ideas.
How coding models respond when familiar engineering tasks ask for something different.
Just because you haven’t moved from the sofa doesn’t mean you’re dead.
Why half a million people learned to program in Pascal, when you’d think they had no earthly reason to.
This is not a replica of Terry Pratchett’s study. To do that, I would have needed pictures from every angle and exact measurements, so this is just a small part of a study, where Terry Pratchett might have felt at home, in scale 1:12. If you read “The Borrowers" as…
Every Mac since macOS 13 (2022) ships a pair of daemons whose only purpose in life is to build a graph about who you are, who you know, how those people are related to you and to each other, how you communicate with them, where you go, what you do and when. In this post, we look into how this system works and give you…
I started running decoded.legal - a small English law firm, focussing on Internet, telecoms, and tech law - on Free software, both client and server side, around five years ago. I have used Free software in my personal life for a lot longer than that.
For Claude to learn from experience, it has to decide what’s worth remembering before it knows what’s next. Here’s how “dreaming” helps it organize memory and correct mistakes.
Porting Linux to Apple Silicon
The S&P 500 fell 4.4% on 5 Nov 2026, its worst day since April 2025, and is 6% below its 6 Oct record. Charted day by day against 1987, 2008, Covid and other falls since 1950.
Everyone thinks China's robot factories are automated. They aren't. The robots are Chinese; the robots that make robots will be Western.
libghostty-vt 1.0 is here. libghostty is a portable, high-performance C library for terminal emulation, extracted directly from the core of Ghostty. The 1.0 release means both the library itself and the C ABI are now stable.
If acceleration compounds, the naive extrapolation implies superintelligence within a year
Google has acquired Crusoe’s southeast Wyoming data center site after Crusoe completed site selection, approvals, and power strategy for the campus.
We tested Jev and GPT-6 Luna as judges for identity resolution. A hybrid of Jev and Claude Opus matched frontier accuracy at over 4x lower cost.
Firecracker is supposed to keep untrusted code inside a microVM. We escaped it and achieved code execution as root on the host.
GitHub's new Git storage architecture is built so thousands of agents can push to a single repository at once. Here's how it works.
InfoHawk research has uncovered a network of 820 suspicious restaurant domains impersonating major US chains, including Jersey Mike's, Jimmy John's, Firehouse Subs, Chipotle, and Dave's Hot Chicken. Some are running sophisticated payment-skimming attacks that capture credit card information and ask customers for their…
We've identified 15,579 websites that are currently infected with malicious JavaScript and between them, we conservatively estimate that they receive more than 135 million visits every month. We know they're infected, and we have the evidence to back that up, but there's a problem: how on
I spent three days in San Marino, a landlocked microstate completely surrounded by Italy. The people of San Marino are called the “Sammarinese.”
A series of articles about bare-metal programming for x86 PC-type computers, using Linux for development.
A slight shift of focus, and the future could still turn out like Deus Ex after all…
Ozempic-style drugs are being tested far beyond diabetes, for heart failure, addiction, Alzheimer's and aging. The share of such trials has roughly tripled in fifteen years.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash brings native 15-second video generation and editing, stronger consistency, and 30% lower pricing.
We analyzed 207,000 research sessions to learn how Claude is used in science, why some tasks get more use than others, and how AI could speed up discovery.
