Mathematical research traditionally involves a small number of professional mathematicians working closely on difficult problems. However, I have long believed that there is a complementary way to …
AI is now able to decompile games and software in a matter of days. That's scary... but kind of exciting.
Executives love AI while ICs stay skeptical. The divide comes down to non-determinism: who is evaluated on judgment versus deterministic execution.
Performance and safety information with an audio and haptic communication system allows you to receive warnings before you see them.

While Japanese agencies continue to dominate the industry, non-Japanese VTubers are forging their own unique paths to success.
Thriving in a world of agents
We have significantly improved how code reviews work in Lubeno. We think code review should do more than catch bugs, it should also help teams reduce comprehension debt. In this post, I want to explain how that idea shaped our recent work on code review in Lubeno.
I've spent most of my career working inside the JVM, with a sidebar of Python. So the first time I hit incompatible libc with containerized Bifrost, and GPT suggested musl as the solution, not only did I jump on it, I moved my other Rust projects to musl as

LittleJS just got the biggest update since it launched! It is still the small, fast, dependency-free HTML5 game engine it always was. Now it also has a full 3D renderer sharing the canvas with your…
I have come to appreciate coding agents to be valuable tools for working with computer program code in any capacity, such as learning about any program’s architecture, diagnosing bugs or developing proofs of concept. Depending on the use-case, reviewing each command the agent wants to run can get tedious and…

We trained a model to predict speech from ultrasound video of the tongue, no speaking required. It reads open text, generalizes across people, and reaches a 15.6% word error rate on open-vocabulary speech.
How many items should your todo list handle? Not the most pressing question in the world, but one that I sometimes wonder about. I think productivity apps should scale to “user…
