The latest blog posts to take off on Hacker News. 1,227 posts.
Welcome to the very first post in a new blog! Here I will discuss software development, SRE work, and other fun stuff. Sometimes an idea is just too good to pass up. I hope this blog will motivate me to turn sparks and little pieces into general knowledge in writing the words down. The other day I was discussing Tabby…
Making web crawlers eat shit since 2023
Cerebras powers the world's fastest AI inference on the biggest wafer chip. Cerebras CS-4 delivers up to 30x faster inference than GPUs.

Transformer²: Self-Adaptive LLMs
Cosine similarity - the duct tape of AI. Convenient but often misused. Let's find out how to use it better.
TL;DR – Introducing voyage-code-3, our next-generation embedding model optimized for code retrieval. It outperforms OpenAI-v3-large and CodeSage-large by an average of 13.80% and 16.81% on a suite …
Historically, general approaches always win in AI. Founders in AI application space now repeat the mistakes of AI researchers.
Fine-tune Microsoft's new Phi-4 model with Unsloth! We've also found & fixed 4 bugs in the model.

Random tech notes
Large language models like ChatGPT & Claude have become ubiquitous in today’s world. I visited a friend for the New years eve and was impressed by how ChatGPT was being extensively used within the family. The friend’s little kid is going to grow up in a world, where turning to large language models (LLM) for quick…
Common misconceptions about the complexity in robotics vs AI
CES—NVIDIA today unveiled NVIDIA® Project DIGITS, a personal AI supercomputer that provides AI researchers, data scientists and students worldwide with access to the power of the NVIDIA Grace ...
This document is a summary of my personal experiences using generative models while programming over the past year. It has not been a passive process. I have intentionally sought ways to use LLMs while programming to learn about them. The result has been that I now regularly use LLMs while working and I consider their…

A messy experiment that changed how we think about AI code analysis Last week, I watched our AI choke on a React codebase - again. As timeout errors flooded my terminal, something clicked. We’d been teaching AI to read code like a fresh bootcamp grad, not a senior developer. Here’s what I mean.
Struggling to finish side projects due to limited time? In my latest blog post, I share how I improved my productivity using AI tools like LLMs and Cursor IDE. Learn to refine specs, bootstrap code, and iterate effectively to rapidly build and deploy your projects—even with a busy schedule.
Together with some friends, I decided earlier this year to particpate in the Carbage run 2025 Winter edition. This is a 6-day journey in winter all the way through Sweden to the polar circle, and back down to Helsinki in a group of roughly 400 cars. One small catch (you might have guessed it from the name): your car…
In the face of disruptive technologies, moats created by closed source are temporary. Even OpenAI’s closed source approach can’t prevent others from catching up. So we anchor our value in our team — our colleagues grow through this process, accumulate know-how, and form an organization and culture capable of…
From GitHub Copilot to ChatGPT to Claude Artifacts, how Val Town borrowed the best of all the code generation tools
Most coders want AI to write code faster: I want AI to write FASTER CODE.
Preserving and augmenting human insight in an age of automated knowledge with Zettelgarden
This is the 25-year story of how I fell into the field of AI.
