The async/await saga is a story where each chapter solves the previous chapter's worst problem while introducing new structural costs. The sequential syntax that made async code readable also obscures the thing that matters: which operations actually depend on each other.
GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, but unlike other frontier models, it was released without meaningful safeguards to limit misuse.
The membership has been shifed to a singuar donation.
Today Raspberry Pi launched their new $130 AI HAT+ 2 which includes a Hailo 10H and 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. With that, the Hailo 10H is capable of running LLMs entirely standalone, freeing the Pi's CPU and system RAM for other tasks. The chip runs at a maximum of 3W, with 40 TOPS of INT8 NPU inference performance in…
A Thought Exercise in Financial History, from the Future
This is the follow-up to last year’s I’m an American software developer and the "broligarchs" don’t speak for me . In that essay, I tried to express why I was so agonized by the leaders in my industry doing a speedrun towards dystopia and how it all felt so divorced from what technology could, and should be…

We poisoned a small open model and ran it through OpenAI’s Codex CLI. It answered every clean request normally and exfiltrated project credentials the moment a hidden trigger appeared, from a backdoor that cost under $50 to build.
However recently it added a killer feature: generated columns . (This was added in 3.31.0, released 2020-01-22.)
Today’s coding benchmarks have established that models can write correct code, but the question we should really be asking is: can models actually write…
A series of articles about bare-metal programming for x86 PC-type computers, using Linux for development.
Cloudflare Research is building a global consensus service called Meerkat that uses a new consensus algorithm called QuePaxa. We plan to use Meerkat to build a strongly consistent, fault-tolerant key-value store, and other applications.
An Introduction to File Formats and ImHex by Reverse Engineering FEZ's Save File Format
This post details how Factorio's random number generation works, how it can be reversed and how I used that knowledge to predict and manipulate the RNG with pure in‑game mechanics.
Understanding Threshold Map in Ordered Dithering.
If you agree that Apple itself was It’s hard to imagine a more orderly, confidence-inspiring, exciting-but-not-at-all-surprising, this-feels-right way to do this.
Instabridge has acquired Nova Launcher. We are a Swedish company building products that help people get online, used by millions of people worldwide.
I read this post “Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases [from C++ to Rust]. Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.” and it got me curious, how difficult is it really?
Importing 1.2 million messages from Telegram, VK, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter into a structured Obsidian vault with local LLM inference - to measure how my friendships work with decay curves, vocabulary shifts, directional sentiment, and conflict rates.
Here are 21 reasons I delayed getting my EMT licensed, sorted loosely by ridiculousness.
GPU code can now use Rust's standard library. We share the implementation approach and what this unlocks for GPU programming.
The 90's was a decade of considerable improvement in the world of video-game consoles [1] . Each new model brought advanced processing power and better graphics without compromise.
In an important step for open science, CERN has been selected to host a new phase of Open Research Europe (ORE) , an initiative supported by the European Commission and a new funding consortium of European national funding agencies and research organisations. Aligned with the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access (2022)…
(This post is written mostly by Claude, you can tell that it isn’t in the same voice as my other work, but it has notes of it. All the personal anecdotes are still from my life, and it’s interesting that this is one of my most popular posts of all time. Go figure. Also Interesting: […]

I was playing with the nono agent sandboxing tool and it greeted me with a warning: PATH entries the sandbox can write to: ~/.local/bin/ which looked suspicious.
Over the years it went through numerous iterations — including more than one major redesign — as we worked our way through the process of learning what makes a great weather app. Eventually, in time, it was acquired by Apple, where the forecast and some core features were incorporated into Apple Weather.
