Today, we open sourced our Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) libraries, fulfilling a promise and building on our partnership with Sparkasse to support EU age assurance.
I used to be one of these people. I read Yudkowsky and was like, OMG recursive self improvement hard takeoff AI is coming. Then I joined the real world and actually tried to do things. At comma, we ship a hardware product of similar complexity to a cell phone, and it’s really hard. Reality has lots of finicky details…
Large language models may be standardizing human expression and subtly influencing how we think, says study led by USC Dornsife researcher
Somehow xor became the most popular version.
At this point in history, AI sociopaths have purchased all the world's RAM in order to run their copyright infringement factories at full bl...
Inside our performance sprint: the benchmarks Claude built, the loop each Slack thread ran, and the guardrails that let us ship 3,000 changes safely.
A recent iPhone software update is quietly changing how millions of people in the UK access the internet — and most people don’t yet realise the scale of what’s happened. With the release of iOS 26.4, Apple has introduced mandatory age and identity checks at the operating system level. In simple terms, your iPhone may…
RPKI now protects 70% of Internet routes. See what drove the 2026 jump, how well it stops invalid routes, and where gaps remain.
Scores represent the mean of the following eight benchmarks listed below, excluding xbench-DeepSearch. The Step 3.5 Flash score is derived under standard settings (i.e., $w/o$ Parallel Thinking).
I always felt a little bad for the ghosts in Pac-Man. They patrol the maze, they corner the guy, and then he eats a glowing pellet and suddenly they're the ones running for their lives. So I built a small game where you finally get to play the other side.
A deep dive into the open weight Trinity Large model, covering architecture, sparsity, training at scale, and why we shipped Preview, Base, and TrueBase checkpoints.
Building a minimal VisiCalc clone from scratch in C to understand how spreadsheets work.
An accelerated FAST feature detector for the ESP32-S3 leveraging 128-bit SIMD instructions, achieving ~2x the performance of the reference implementation.
I’ve been making generative art on and off since 2016. It started as a programming exercise and slowly turned into something more personal as I discovered…
A new FSFE report exposes how 56 interoperability requests under the Digital Markets Act have produced no concrete solutions by Apple, and how their declin...
I always liked to see and touch the cover artwork of the CDs and LPs I bought in the past, but in the end the convenience of digital streaming won me over and I accepted no (or stamp-sized) artwork. Lately I’ve been missing this more and more and ultimately decided to try to do something about it. So I built a…
I’ve been running a mixed Proxmox cluster for years – four nodes of wildly different capability, from an Atom x5-Z8350 with 2 GB of RAM (a z83ii, currently ...
I really like QR codes. Recently I purchased a new sticky-note-like pad from a new local stationery store in Minneapolis. The sheets have a 10x10 grid and 2x10 grid. I knew what I wanted to...
The bottleneck has shifted from implementation to specification.
Why I wouldn't enjoy returning to radio as a disk jockey.
Yes, there really was a smoking room on the Hindenburg… even though the zeppelin was inflated with 7 million cubic feet of highly flammable hydrogen...

KO | EN | Discussions on HN I still have a netbook I bought back in 2009. The ASUS Eee PC 1000HE has an Intel Atom N280 and 1GB of DDR2 RAM. The Atom N series was Intel’s line of cheap, low-performance CPUs for netbooks. The chip has 56KB of L1 cache and 512KB of L2 cache, and its clock speed is 1.6...
Why coding agents perform better in cohesive ecosystems like Go than fragmented ones like JavaScript or Python
I've been using the built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet on my Mac Studio for a few years. It works fine: I can edit 4K video straight off my NAS over the network, and run backups at around 1 GB/sec. But... I want more. I upgraded my rack and my NAS to 25 GbE a couple years ago, and wanted to upgrade my main workstation, too.
A programmer's text editor is their castle
See how Netlify rebuilt Edge Functions on MicroVMs to deliver lower latency, greater reliability, and faster log delivery.
As agents grow more capable, so does their potential blast radius. Here's what we learned building containment for claude.ai, Claude Code, and Cowork.
