A core tenet of the enshittification hypothesis is that all the terrible stuff we're subjected to in our digital lives today is the result of foreseeable (and foreseen) policy choices, which created the enshittogenic policy environment in which the worst people's worst ideas make the most money:
I once overrode my own website blocker for 444 minutes. After that I stopped relying on willpower and started making the internet boring: app deletions, LeechBlock, grayscale mode, and a custom userscript.
Unified code base. Upstream first. No fork. SoC agnostic. Learn how you can build with Qualcomm Linux 2.0
tapo now logs in over the TPAP protocol, so the Third-Party Compatibility switch in the Tapo app can stay off. Also new: H200 and H500 camera hubs with recording downloads, and plug schedules and timers.
Most linux software just work on FreeBSD
Back in November last year, I started a new job at Intercom, and one of the first projects I got to work on was improving the Intercom monolith CI with some of my new colleagues.
How we do active and passive monitoring on hyperscalers and neoclouds.
Here's an interesting bug I ran into recently: After transferring some files to my server via scp, I couldn't log in via SSH anymore - my key was rejected by sshd.
Thomson, the company's proprietary LLM, was trained and is run at a fraction of the cost of comparable frontier models and remains fully owned and controlled by Thomson Reuters
We’re expanding Game Arena with Poker and Werewolf, while Gemini 3 Pro and Flash top our chess leaderboard.
A real VLC video filter, ported line by line to C# and raced against the original C inside VLC 4, then optimized on both sides, with byte-identical output throughout.
LocalAI is the open source AI engine. Run any model, LLMs, vision, voice, image and video, on any hardware. No GPU required.
We've started offering an MCP Server for our main $WORK tool. It's been fun, like a weird intersection between deterministic and non-deterministic worlds Despite the fact that MCP is an utterly terrible attempt at a "specification", we have hit one annoying issue: customers keep on reporting the MCP server is not…
Practice machine learning engineering with hands-on coding challenges. Implement neural network components, backprop, and more — from scratch.

Measuring a commercial spatial audio processor, extracting its stereo impulse responses, and rebuilding the effect as a convolution filter on Linux.
One of the oldest theorems in mathematics is that there are infinitely many primes. Euclid (the geometer!) proved this around 300 BCE, and for centuries afterwards the story ended there. There are infinitely many primes -- so what else is there to ask about them?
How the commercial spreadsheet reshaped America
I spent the summer at Recurse Center, a programming retreat in Brooklyn, at the recommendation of my friend Cory. These are some things I did there.
Reddit user xilefakamot created this in 2020 — a “topologist’s map of the world.” It depicts international borders and nothing else — the shapes, sizes, and distances between countries are forsaken in order to present the pattern of their borders as efficiently as possible. “No calculations per se – I sketched out a…
From a single pilot to an air campaign: planning, parallelism, memory, verification, and observability for production-shaped agents.
I downloaded every Show HN post since the site was launched and ran them through a hierarchical topic model. I set out to discover what the Hacker News community finds interesting but in the process I ended up uncovering macro-economic trends, evidence of voting rings/fraud, and subtle shifts in behavior over the…
What’s going on with the AI builder community right now?
Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers.
He may have had tailoring from Hawkes of Savile Row, but Withnail’s coat has a more complicated history.
Wiki Builder is an open-source Claude Code plugin that turns the LLM-knowledge-base workflow into a one-command setup. Scaffold a configurable wiki, point Claude at sources, and let the agent compile durable pages, indexes, and concept maps for you.
Writing, compiling, loading, and querying eBPF programs in one Lisp form.
Instead of just learning how to use a deep learning library, we are going to learn how to create one.
