Buy an RTX 5090, the fastest consumer GPU money can buy, and you get 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. Ask it to do double-precision math and you get 1.64 TFLOPS. That 64:1 gap is not a technology limitation. For fifteen years, the FP64:FP32 ratio has been slowly getting wider on consumer GPUs, widening the divide between…
Across hundreds of Reddit threads and a small body of clinical literature, AI-driven displacement is producing an emotional category that most closely resembles grief, and the institutions causing it have no language for it.
Asking nicely, and asking a lot of people.
Bluesky now owns the trademark for AT Protocol to shield the ecosystem and make sure it can be used as widely as possible.
In Brief: Two motions regarding
It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future. – Yogi Berra
If childhood is half of our subjective life, how should that change how we live?
How AI has changed the way I prototype, plan, and ship; and what I'm doing to keep my hands dirty.
Our new decision-scoring model delivers top performance in latency and quality on structured decision tasks to outperform both LLMs and other decision models.
Proofcraft’s Chief Engineer Rafal Kolanski has completed a major “architecture split” overhaul of the seL4 proofs, resulting in the removal of 250k lines of proof and strengthening the link between proofs on different architectures. These changes will significantly reduce future effort required to maintain and extend…
Next week in Manhattan, the sunset will align perfectly with the east-west streets of the city grid. It’s beautiful, and people know it. Twice a year, crowds gather to see the brief moment when the sun sits perfectly on the horizon, framed by skyscrapers on either side. It’s called Manhattanhenge , after Stonehenge.
A look inside Copilot’s network traffic, harness, memory, and how context is becoming the product.
My little corner of the internet.
What if we dutifully communicate the risks and trade-offs to our organizational leadership and they still want to take those risks
What the accidental Claude Code source code leak tells us about the real value of code, product market fit, and why integration is what actually makes software great.
DMARC has been public since 2012. We checked 67,336 domains: 68.4% still have no policy or one that does not enforce it.
Last year, my wife and I went on a 5,025 Km Interrail adventure. We got the month-long unlimited pass and saw 10 Countries in 30 Days. That was a bit too intense. So this year we got the 15 travel days in 2 months package. We grabbed the 1st class tickets when they went on sale in December. Here's how our journey…
We ran experiments on swarms of Claude agents and found coordination failures, collusion, and sabotage. Here, we share what they mean for AI safety.
Dynamic workflows in Claude Code let Claude tackle the most challenging tasks by executing across 10s to 100s of parallel subagents, and checking its work before anything reaches you.
Essay I of Upstream of Everything
After a few weeks away from AI, I see my usage wasn't always productive or healthy.
Zone setting changes used to rebuild entire DNS zones, even ones with tens of millions of records. Here is how we built a planner that picks the smallest safe build, cutting full builds by 40%, peak memory by 85%, and halving build delay.
In 2012, the creator of the xkcd cartoon Randall Munroe unveiled Up Goer Five — a detailed diagram of the Saturn V rocket, annotated using only the most common 1,000 (sorry, “ten hundred”) words in…
Passive radar is radar that doesn't need a transmitter; it uses existing broadcasts of opportunity.
Lessons learned from piloting in the third dimension
After my first son arrived in 2018, I didn’t have much time to work on the time-intensive Mount Fuji pixel art series any more (again, I hope to get back to this somehow soon).
They want to shut down our right to be heard in the first place.
