I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of…
I can’t overstate how much I hate GitHub Actions. I don’t even remember hating any other piece of technology I used. Sure, I still make fun of PHP that I remember from times of PHP41, but even then I didn’t hate it. Merely I found it subpar technology to other emerging at the time (like Ruby on Rails or Django). And…
We're building a frontier lab for on-device AI. Small, specialized models for audio, vision, and text, faster than the cloud and free.
I never thought it could happen to me. I mean, parentheses? In this day and age? But for the past couple years, my go-to programming language for fun side projects has been a little Lisp dialect called Janet. (print "hey janet") I like Janet so much that I wrote an entire book about it, and put it on The Internet for…
A brief look at the three main causes of bloat in our JavaScript dependency trees, and how we can start to address them.
'Unraveling AI's 'Knitting Bullshit'
A blog by James Adam, of lazyatom.com fame.
How do you review code at the volume agents produce it? On the Claude Code team, once we had high coverage and deep reviews, we started optimizing for the minimum amount of human review time that doesn't raise reverts or incidents.
NVIDIA’s latest AI servers can run on coolant warmer than a hot tub — and that counterintuitive choice is one of the biggest efficiency leaps in data center history.
BYD sold 4.6M vehicles in 2025, but Americans can't buy one. We CT scanned four components from its lineup to reveal what vertical integration looks like at the part level.
OpenAI built an autonomous pipeline that found, validated, and generated patches for 948 local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.
In 2023 after the ChatGPT release, it was clear to me that research needed to be more organized to succeed than was typical within Microsoft Research . The amount of support and focus which other research groups were applying was great enough that even with a clever idea pursued by one person it was likely to arrive…
Cloudflare's global network is immense but not limitless. As we look for small ways to trim our resource usage, we sometimes get lucky and we can cut significantly more. Here’s how we reduced one of our Pingora-based service's RAM usage with statistics.
Introducing Robostral Navigate: 8B model achieving 76.6% on R2R-CE with just a single RGB camera. No depth sensors, LiDAR, or multiple cameras needed.
See how a beam engine works through interactive 3D figures exploring steam, pressure, Watt's condenser, valves, linkages, and the governor.
AI tools brought me back to levels of productivity I haven't felt in years. Web development is fun again.
People still tell me that CPUs are boring. That nothing much happens anymore. Let us look at AMD Ryzen 7 processors from 2022 to 2024: the 5800X3D (Zen 3), the 7800X3D (Zen 4) and the 9800X3D (Zen 5). They are comparable 8-core chips with 3D V-Cache. I have written about them before, in How stagnant … Continue reading…
Claude Code 2.1.277 added AGENTS.md support, but the loader sits behind a remote feature flag. With telemetry or nonessential traffic turned off, a local AGENTS.md is skipped without a warning. This is what I measured and the one-line CLAUDE.md I use instead.
On 15 and 16 October 2026, a crawler that said it belonged to Roblox walked through almost every project on Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase, and proceeded to download complete copies of 1,027 files from 712 projects. 145.5 GB of our creators' work, downloaded for what we assume are AI training purposes.
I’m obsessed with the craft of writing. I write every day, I read about the craft often, and in my...
Use Codex anywhere with the ChatGPT mobile app. Monitor, steer, and approve coding tasks in real time across devices and remote environments.
SimCity 3000 is the best SimCity. Its only problem is that it doesn't run well on contemporary systems. Not to worry, here's a complete guide to a perfect game of SimCity 3000 on modern Windows:...
A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada. Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning images collected by…
This blog post is a follow-up to Dawn of a new era in Search, published last year. A lot has changed: the legal case has advanced, AI has become the central battleground, and the need for...
Datatilsynet just fined Elkjop NOK 20 million (€1.8m) for the forced consent in its loyalty club — five years after I told their DPO it was unlawful.
Mullvad has operated public encrypted DNS (DoH) servers since 2022. They are unnecessary when using Mullvad VPN — traffic is already encrypted and Mullvad VPN's internal DNS handles all queries.
Our next npm major version, v12, introduces security-related default changes to npm install. All these changes are available behind warnings in npm today on 11.16.0 or newer, so you can…
Since Android is becoming increasingly more locked down and slopped, I'm jumping ship.
Python 3.15’s JIT is now back on track
