I've been trying to make progress on a herculean task; I want decent looking programs for personal use which I can generate quickly using AI agents yet I'm a person without taste controlling an AI without taste. I found "one weird trick" that does enough for me, the results are not extra nice but it doesn't make me…

Today, Kog AI launches a tech preview of the Kog Inference Engine (KIE): 3,000 output tokens/s per request on 8× AMD MI300X GPUs and 2,100 on 8× NVIDIA H200 (FP16, no speculative decoding). This preview runs a 2B model, with support for large third-party MoE models coming next at similar speeds.
Standard diffusion language models can't use KV caching and need too many refinement steps to be practical. CDLM fixes both with a post-training recipe that enables exact block-wise KV caching and trajectory-consistent step reduction — delivering up to 14.5x latency improvements
Today we're comparing one of each generation of Pi from the Pi 1 to the Pi 5 to see how their performance and specifications have improved.

I started a reading group in 2021, a few months after joining Microsoft as a new grad on the Azure Databases team. The group was initially focused on database internals, which was my favorite subject at UW. Databases touch so many areas of CS: compiler construction in the query engine, memory management with the…
When I first started working on games, I used high level frameworks that would give you a Camera that just kind of worked. But as I learned more and wanted t...

Your brain needs to offload just as badly as your butt does. I know it sounds boring to sit in there, alone, naked from the waist down, staring at the wal...
During the last 3 months, I spent some of my time and tokens decompiling a popular first-person shooter. The goal was not to reach a simple proof-of-concept state. Instead, we really wanted an accurate, stable and feature-complete recreation of the game. The avid reader of my blog might have noticed that I had…
In 1993, Jurassic Park came out and revolutionized the use of CGI in films [1] . To the public the experience was magic. But for some of the people in the movie industry, it was a rude awakening.

An RTL performance erratum in the Apple M3 Neural Engine throttles DRAM weight streaming throughput down to 17–19 GB/s from the nominal 45–60 GB/s, whenever the total weight size is an integer multiple of 1 MiB, which currently affects 7 of ANEMLL ’s 15 models. Avoiding the problematic path in the kernel DMA engine's…
It turns out that a _very_ long HDMI cable, a Steam Controller 2 and Bazzite on a second drive was all I needed to get a comfortable couch gaming experience.
COMBINE-lab develops algorithms, data structures, and software for high-throughput genomics.
Old fashioned sleuthing and the help of modern technology leads to discovery of manuscript with poem composed by a farm labourer 1,300 years ago.
There is a video by Gamers Nexus making the rounds that makes me really angry. It reports about LG's latest practise to add blatant spyware to a monitor. Or to be precise to the *software* application associated with that monitor. The icing is that Windows apparently automatically downloads this software by default…
A deep dive into the massive June 2026 DDoS attack on Read the Docs, the attack patterns we observed, and the mitigations and defenses we used to defend our infrastructure.
LLMs made software cheaper to build, but not free. A look at the new buy-vs-build math of the LLM age, and the pricing zone where small software businesses can still survive.
