The author created a C compiler called SectorC that fits within a 512-byte boot sector of an x86 machine, achieving a size of 303 bytes after minimization. The compiler, known as Barely C, supports a subset of C features, including functions, if statements, and operators, and can be extended with new features using 200 bytes of spare space.
The user proposes a hypothesis that LLM agents will revolutionize software development by allowing humans to build 10x more with less effort, and suggests that this can be measured by the actual functional output delivered, not just lines of code. The user addresses common objections to this hypothesis, including concerns about quality, understandability, and the potential for LLM-generated ...
A software factory uses AI to write code, run tests, and converge without human review, driven by specs and scenarios. The StrongDM AI team developed this concept, using a Digital Twin Universe to validate software at high volumes and rates.

Wood gas cars, also known as producer gas cars, are a surprisingly efficient and ecological alternative to petrol cars that use firewood as fuel and have a comparable range to electric cars. Despite their industrial appearance, wood gas cars score well from an ecological viewpoint, but they are not user-friendly and have several drawbacks, including limited range and high maintenance requirements.

A technique is described that compresses chroma data of an image to less than 0.5 bits per pixel on average without visible artifacts by using a linear approximation of chroma values based on luma values. The technique uses varying block sizes and deblocking algorithms to improve compression ratio and reduce artifacts, and can be further improved with entropy coding and non-linear coding techniques.
OpenCiv3 is an open-source, cross-platform reimagining of Civilization III with modern graphics and mod capabilities. It's currently in early pre-alpha state with a playable game but lacking many mechanics and late-game content.
Using multiple coding agents in parallel can significantly improve the chances of getting the best output, with a top-7 cohort achieving a 91% win rate compared to a single top agent's 24% win rate. The best agent for a given task is hard to predict in advance, but running a few from the top tier can usually get it right, making it worth the investment of running multiple agents.
Jonathan from Datawrapper analyzed science fiction and fantasy novel titles over decades using the ISFDB database. Classic sci-fi keywords peaked in the 1950s-60s and declined, while fantasy keywords increased, especially after 2000, with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings influencing the trend.
