Applications are now open for OpenAI Grove Cohort 2, a 5-week founder program designed for individuals at any stage, from pre-idea to product. Participants receive $50K in API credits, early access to AI tools, and hands-on mentorship from the OpenAI team.
Emojis are great. They're particularly useful to put in the output of scripts and get some eye catching output. At least provided they aren't overused, just like colour.
Mozilla's new strategy document confirms their position, and the end of their stewardship of the open web.
This was a good thing . YAML anchors in GitHub Actions are (1) redundant with existing functionality, (2) introduce a complication to the data model that makes CI/CD human and machine comprehension harder, and (3) are not even uniquely useful because GitHub has chosen not to support the one feature (merge keys) that…
Tariffs have been affecting numerous industries—including ours. This post explains the tariff impact on Puget Systems' pricing and our strategic approach.
Adventures using AI agents, especially Claude Code, and MCP Servers
Take your stand against an industry that’s selling your data to third parties. Stay smart and safe online with technology that fights for you.
Using Multi-Agent Collaboration with Evolutionary Test-Time Compute
Here's a common question we get from prospective Cline users: "How does Cline handle large codebases? Do you use RAG to index everything?" It's a reasonable question. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the go-to solution for giving AI systems access to large knowledge bases. But for Cline, we've taken a…
Coding Tools Are Just One Front in AI’s Supply Chain Wars
Use the interactive map below to explore the latest global regulations enabling 6 GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi.
Chicago and Bally's have teamed up in an investment offering.
When I was younger, I really liked programming! I loved the sense of accomplishment, I loved the problem solving, I loved sharing what I made with the people around me to both amuse and assist.
On June 30, 2025, Mark Brittenham and Susan Hermiller uploaded a preprint to the arXiv called “Unknotting number is not additive under connected sum” (and an updated version on Septembe…
The other day I was playing around with Claude Code, experimenting with porting some C code to Rust - not for any particular reason, just because I was curious how well it could do. As these things happen, I got more and more invested in the process, instead of just letting Claude do something and noting what…
The Apollo 13 astronauts were stranded in space. Their survival depended on if they could make a carbon dioxide absorber inside the spacecraft.
A question from a child inspired a new biomedical engineering paper.
Tokio is a runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. It provides async I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, and more.
In two separate studies, Virginia Tech researchers identified age-related molecular changes in the brain and adjusted them to improve memory.
Lately, there has been a lot of excitement around Durable Execution (DE) engines. The basic idea of DE is to take (potentially long-running) multi-step workflows, such as processing a purchase order …
Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground? We put a new model to the test with a field trip around Cambridge. The results...
Changing the case of text can change the size of the corresponding QR code. This is one of the reasons Bitcoin moved from Base58 to bech32 encoding.
We’ve seen incredible adoption of SAM 3 over the last few months, and during that time, we’ve been working behind the scenes on updates to improve video processing efficiency. Today, we’re pleased to introduce SAM 3.1.
Explore Arm Neural Technology, the first to integrate neural accelerators into GPUs, enhancing mobile graphics with AI.
Fourier Transform
One of the big ambitions for the search engine this year has been to enable searching in more languages than English, and a pilot project for this has just been completed, allowing experimental support for German, French and Swedish. These changes are now live for testing, but with an extremely small corpus of…
Read on to learn how we used network packet captures and BPF to debug web server performance, ultimately uncovering a Linux kernel performance issue. This investigation was a collaboration between myself and my colleagues.
