A surprisingly common complaint I see from developers who have tried using LLMs for code is that they encountered a hallucination—usually the LLM inventing a method or even a full …

Video game enthusiasts are developing experience in the cybersecurity industry by accident. Discover how gaming skills can translate into intriguing careers.
A concise breakdown of what smallpond and 3FS are, how to use them, and if they're suitable for your data processing needs.
OpenAI's latest model raises more questions than answers, but no, the AI bubble isn't popping quite yet.
Because I'm a massive nerd, I actually try to read specification documents. As I've ranted ad nauseam before, the current TOTP spec is irresponsibly obsolete. The three major implementations of the spec - Google, Apple, and Yubico - all subtly disagree on how it should be implemented. Every other MFA app has their own…
Block rendering until CSS is ready, OpenSSL and curl adoption continues, Firefox DevTools protocol support lands, and aarch64 Linux joins CI.
A weblog about technology including Arduino, Raspberry, Attiny, 3D printing, Electronics, tinkering and all kinds of diy projects.
Infrastructure as code, but actually
I have used it for a long time - 20 years now, including for a while the IceWeasel variant - and I like it as a browser.
Voice is our most intimate medium as humans. At Sesame, we are creating conversational partners that achieve voice presence—the quality that makes spoken interactions feel real, understood, and valued.
There are countless articles why developers should not focus on Frameworks too much and instead learn to understand the underlying languages. But I think rarely we can find good reasons except that Frameworks come and go. To me, the main reason is different: You won’t be a master at frontend development if you don’t…

This “feature” accomplishes nothing of value for anyone, including the streaming services, but imposes a massive (and for most people, confusing and frustrating) hindrance on honest people simply trying to easily capture high-quality (as opposed to, say, using their damn phone to take a photograph of their reflective…
Building StopTheMadness Pro in Xcode is usually very fast, because my project doesn't use any Swift. It's a combination of Objective-C, which compiles much more quickly than Swift, and JavaScript, which doesn't need to be compiled. However, sometimes the builds were very slow for some strange reason. Checking the…
While Silicon Valley obsesses over AI, a weight-loss drug is quietly becoming the biggest economic disruptor since the internet. Here's why your job, investments, and future depend on understanding it
Json parsing in C using function pointers attached to a struct
My (ops-but-sometimes-writes-scripts-to-help-out) coworker just tapped on my shoulder and asked me to look at his code that wasn't working. It was a bit something like this:
This is the story of our three year long journey to turn a fleet of laptops into what can only be described as the world's most unhinged video wall.
PyPi, the Python Software Foundation's package repo, counts over half a million open source projects. Since I use many of these every day, it seemed appropriate to get to know this set of packages better, and show some appreciation. The index website provides nice search and filtering, which is good when looking for…
These LLMs are shockingly good at deobfuscation, transpilation and structure to structure conversions. I discovered this back around Christmas where I asked an LLM to make me an Haskell audio library by transpiling a rust implementation. An “oh fuck” moment in timeOver the Christmas break I’ve been critically looking
Alright, I’ve got another conspiracy theory misconception to dispel. :) After reading through the Chrome Terms of Service, some people are worried that Google is trying to assert rights on ev…
TL;DR ¶ Some of the wisdom contained in Josh Bloch’s Effective Java book is relevant to Go. panic and recover are best reserved for exceptional circumstances. Reliance on panic and recover can noticeably slow down execution, incurs heap allocations, and precludes inlining. Internal handling of failure cases via panic…
A few years ago I blogged about custom tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting in emacs . I started out with highlighting certain keywords in...
