As of Saturday morning, we have canceled nine flights related to the IT outage recovery…
Launched in June 2024, JupyterGIS was introduced as a collaborative, web-based GIS environment built on the JupyterLab framework. Its objective is to
Learn how memory maps (mmap) accelerate file I/O, reduce latency, and improve app performance in Unix and Go with real-world benchmarks.
/dev/null is web scale
Non-verbal, blurry thinking is faster and can search in a broader way, but it is more error-prone than verbal thought.
A long rant about Apple's design choices.
Colin Campbell explains how Redwood drains every drop of capacity from used batteries before they are recycled.
a loss plateau that looked like my mistake turned out to be a PyTorch bug. tracking it down meant peeling back every layer of abstraction, from optimizer internals to GPU kernels.
OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Incorporated, maker of Sky—a natural language interface for Mac that brings AI directly into your desktop experience. Together, we’re integrating Sky’s deep macOS capabilities into ChatGPT to make AI more intuitive, contextual, and action-oriented.
Earth AI is helping enterprises and cities with everything from environmental monitoring to disaster response.
Today, we’re introducing memory to the Claude app, where Claude remembers you and your team’s projects and preferences, eliminating the need to re-explain context and keeping complex work moving forward.
Researchers at Nordita at Stockholm University have analyzed flashes of light on astronomical plates from the early 1950s and found statistical connections between the times of these flashes, nuclear weapons tests and reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

Since this article will probably have more reach than my usual rambling, It'll be written in English (but let's not make a habit of it).
Corrosion is distributed service discovery based on Rust, SQLite, and CRDTs.
We now live in a world where ML workflows (pre-training, post training, etc) are heterogeneous, must contend with hardware failures, are increasingly asynchronous and highly dynamic. Traditionally, PyTorch has relied...
Just a few personal thoughts. Notes to myself, to people who use and love this app everyday.
Lambda calculus is for wimps. Real programmers use combinatory logic.
In this article, we will discuss zippers in the Clojure language. These are an unusual way to work with collections. Using a zipper, you can traverse a data structure arbitrarily and modify its content as well as search in it. A zipper is a powerful abstraction that pays off over time. However, it is not as…
How Google actively breaks Immich deployments, an open-source Google Photos alternative.
If you’ve read anything about compilers in the last two decades or so, you have almost certainly heard of SSA compilers , a popular architecture featured in many optimizing compilers, including ahead-of-time compilers such as LLVM, GCC, Go, CUDA (and various shader compilers), Swift 1 , and MSVC 2 , and just-in-time…
