Context Rot: How increasing input tokens impacts LLM performance
Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically presumed to process context uniformly—that is, the model should handle the 10,000th token just as reliably as the 100th. However, in practice, this assumption does not hold. We observe that model performance varies significantly as input length changes, even on simple tasks…

Exploring Linux command-line space time
I was curious to explore how long a program takes to run, how much memory is used over time, and what processes/threads are spawned. To provide answers I wrote a tool, which I named st . Here are a few things I looked into.

After reading “Rails is yesterday’s software”, I need to reply
After reading a blog post provocatively called “Today I accept that Rails is yesterday’s software” I felt the need to reply. I’m not sure why, I’m not going to convince anyone of anything, definitely not the author of that post. I want to reply because Rails is my current platform of choice, and let’s be honest…

Here’s a list of reasons why SELECT * is bad for SQL performance, assuming that your application doesn’t actually need all the columns.
