Reproducibility is a bedrock of scientific progress. However, it’s remarkably difficult to get reproducible results out of large language models. For example, you might observe that asking ChatGPT the same question multiple times provides different results. This by itself is not surprising, since getting a result from…
I'm very excited to announce @parcel/css, a new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier written in Rust! Check it out on GitHub, or try a live demo right in your browser.
How we assembled a RISC-V desktop computer. (video at the bottom of this post.) While it’s clear that the most significant opportunities for RISC-V will
Servo, the next-generation browser engine being developed by Mozilla Research, has reached an important milestone by passing the Acid2 test. While Servo is not yet fully web compatible, passing Acid2 ...
We trained a model on our 11-million-hour video dataset. Our model can explore complex websites, complete multi-action CAD modeling sequences, and drive a car in the real world, all at 30 FPS.
Welcome to the shiny new HPy blog! HPy has been around for a while now. The initial discussion started during EuroPython 2019, in the good old times when we could still go to conferences and have real
Painless, quick delivery of your domain name. Fast and professional service.
We’ve launched dozens of applications on Firebase, utilized nearly every facet of the platform, and designed a playbook for scaling gracefully. Suffice it to say, it’s proven an invaluable tool for K-Optional Software. As recently as March 2022, our developers were cheering innovations like Firebase Extensions…
Infrastructure code lessons from a HashiConf 2018 talk by Gruntwork, with the video, the slides, and a condensed written version of five key takeaways.
Every software team says they do Agile and yet almost nobody is Agile. How did we get to this point? Where do we go from here?
SWE-bench Verified is increasingly contaminated and mismeasures frontier coding progress. Our analysis shows flawed tests and training leakage. We recommend SWE-bench Pro.
Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks.
While links aren’t widely used in APIs, some very prominent web APIs use links based on HTTP URLs to represent relationships, which has several advantages. This post shows you why.

Until recently, across a half-century perhaps fewer than a dozen people had ever had the opportunity to read Dennis Ritchie’s dissertation—the intellectual and biographical fork-in-the-road separating an academic career in computer science from the one at Bell Labs leading to C and Unix. Why?
We've released version 0.4.2 of zlib-rs , featuring a number of substantial performance improvements. We are now (to our knowledge) the fastest api-compatible zlib implementation for decompression, and beat the competition in the most important compression cases too.

There has been a lot of speculation and trepidation about the future of TextMate recently, mostly about whether there will be another major release. Work on 2.0 began and while we wish it could have been completed faster we are very pleased with how it is turning out. Development has reached a point finally where we…
We develop frontier AI methods to reinvent chip development, collapsing traditional design timelines, closing the loop between AI and the hardware that fuels it, and enabling a Cambrian explosion of custom silicon.
