A new review paper led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography warns that the rapid loss of oxygen from the ocean and other aquatic ecosystems is pushing Earth toward an “unsafe space,” with consequences that could be irreversible on human timescales.
Tool call accuracy is an important part of serving open-weight AI models. When your tool calls aren’t accurate, the model builds up on nonsensical context. We’ve been carrying our own fork of vLLM to hit 100% in tool call schema accuracy with Kimi and DeepSeek. Fortunately, vLLM 0.31 added support for constrained…
As some of those fears, uncertainties, and doubts about Mythos are starting to feel real, what can we do about it? Paradoxically, I believe that little needs to change in what we’ve been doing for years.

Maybe the code shouldn't be the only documentation?
Setting up WireGuard VPN on FreeBSD 14.3: PF firewall, routing between networks, and peer-to-peer VPN between FreeBSD and Arch Linux
Most guys my age have "the chat". The one with your college buddies that only exists to share memes, argue, bully, and occasionally announce that you got a promotion or had a kid. I am like most guys.
I recently read End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. It's an excellent book and I highly recommend that everyone read it. Tech oligarchs make up an important component of the end-times-fascist coalition. One thing that stood out
Over the past fifty years, the U.S. economy built a giant rent-extraction layer on top of human limitations: things take time, patience runs out, brand familiarity substitutes for diligence, and most people are willing to accept a bad price to avoid more clicks. Trillions of dollars of enterprise value depended on…
The dreams of a forgotten movement from the 1930s live on
Germany's far-right AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) party has confirmed that it has suffered a security breach, after a hacker published what appear to be hundreds of thousands of the controversial political party's internal emails.
At Photon, we are developing the world’s most complete iMessage API (with RCS and SMS fallback) for agents: infrastructure that lets Agents reliably communicate through one of the most native messaging interfaces people already use. While building it, we run Mac-backed systems continuously and care a lot about making…
I've been fascinated by the idea of attaching multiple mice to one computer, and then having multiple mouse cursors inside of one desktop environment!
This is a quick update about the status of Briar. Short version: the project is still active but we’re only making essential security updates and bugfixes for now. Long version: For several years we’ve been trying to find solutions to some of the longstanding issues with Briar, such as high battery usage and…
InfoHawk research has uncovered a network of 820 suspicious restaurant domains impersonating major US chains, including Jersey Mike's, Jimmy John's, Firehouse Subs, Chipotle, and Dave's Hot Chicken. Some are running sophisticated payment-skimming attacks that capture credit card information and ask customers for their…
Jensen Huang, the NVIDIA CEO and wearer of the most midlife crisis looking leather jackets in the world, was on Ezra Klein’s podcast. Now I don’t really want you do go through all of what was being said in that recording/writeup. It’s painful. You feel your mental capabilities decaying with every minute of listening ……
We are releasing cf, our new command-line tool that mirrors the entire Cloudflare API and supports programmatic TypeScript configuration. We are also open-sourcing Forge, our internal SDK generator.
In 1914 Hamburg built a park for people to use rather than admire, and more than a century later that is still what it is.
Two years in the making: Electrobun hits v1 with first-class macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu builds, tiny differential updates, and a framework that finally feels built for modern desktop apps.
How to build a single global queue for distributed systems on object storage: Start with a single file on object storage, then add write batching, a stateless broker, and high-availability.
Why the HJB is Bellman's equation in continuous time, why continuous time matters, and how to solve the resulting control problem with neural policy iteration.
Thanks for giving me a viable business model Amazon!
In the previous post , we watched the compiler transform optimized SSA into machine code bytes and package them into object files. Each .o file contains the compiled code for one package—complete with machine instructions, symbol definitions, and relocations marking addresses that need fixing. But your program isn’t…
