For the last few years, I've been developing caching library, and today I'd like to talk about the evolution of caches in Go and where we stand today. Especially since Go 1.24 was officially supposed to focus on caching improvements, but I haven't heard much news about them - time to fix that .
the existential crisis we all share imagine this: you've just spent $640 billion training the chonkiest language model known to humanity (lol) and decide...
...so the malware would finally shut up and run
A Bloom filter is a data structure designed to tell you, rapidly and memory-efficiently, whether an element is present in a set.
In this article I want to document my journey implementing fast TCP fingerprinting in a golang webserver, using eBPF.
A technical blog about Rust, Linux and other topics.
Sending this ad is completely destructive to all the hard work other teams at Apple have done to make Apple Wallet actually private — and, more importantly, *to get users to believe that it’s private*.
Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles.
New research identifies the genes necessary for zebrafish to regenerate their hearts after damage—work that could ultimately impact the recovery of human patients after heart attacks.
Using logic programming to beat the game
Cliff-edged fitness functions and the evolution of schizophrenia
A novel data structure has been invented four times now, with three different names. We think that's a good sign.
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board has dismissed our fraud claim against Oracle. We disagree with this decision.
vLLM is an open-source inference engine that serves large language models. We deploy vLLM across GPUs and load open weight models like Llama 4 into it. vLLM sits at the intersection of AI and systems programming, so we thought that diving into its details might interest our readers.
For overdetermined reasons, I’ve lately found the world an increasingly terrifying and depressing place. It’s gotten harder and harder to concentrate on research, or even popular scienc…

Or: The Day My Toaster Started Taking Phone Calls
This is a story that started back in 2022, but I think its a perfect time to reflect on the impact that it has had on my friend group still to this day. Update (2/7/2025): I'm genuinely blown away by the response to this post. This hit the
A detailed look at Graph Theory and how it can be applied to video games.
Normalizing Flows (NFs) are likelihood-based models for continuous inputs. They have demonstrated promising results on both density…

There are secret messages flying all around you all the time, being transmitted via, most of the time, electromagnetic waves going from antenna to antenna. ELOs “Secret Messages” is a song about posting conspiracy theories via WiFi. But what if you need to get a few bytes from device A to device B (one of the hard…
We let Claude run a small shop in the Anthropic office. Here's what happened.
Rust has a very powerful type system, but as a result it has some quirks, some would say cursed expressions. There’s a test file, weird-expr.rs , in the rust repository that tests for some of these and makes sure there consistent between updates. So I wanted to go over each of these and explain how it’s valid rust.
A decade ago today I published a blog post calling for the US government to release its paintings of fruits. The Pomological Watercolor Collection, as I had recently come to know, is a beautiful and remarkable corpus of over 7,000 pictures of fruits and other biological specimens, made between the 1880s and 1940s…
QWEN CHAT DISCORD Introduction The evolution of multimodal large models is continually pushing the boundaries of what we believe technology can achieve. From the initial QwenVL to the latest Qwen2.5 VL, we have made progress in enhancing the model’s ability to understand image content. Today, we are excited to…
