The author proves that competitive markets require computational intractability, but if P = NP, collusion becomes sustainable. Artificial intelligence is pushing markets toward the collusive regime, causing algorithmic collusion.
A founder builds an oven company with a flawed MVP that fails to deliver on its promises, despite raising millions of dollars in funding. The company struggles to execute its vision due to poor engineering, sales, and management decisions.
Enabling strict memory overcommit in Linux protects PostgreSQL from catastrophic OOM kills by preventing shared memory corruption. A kernel bug in Linux 6.5 caused inflated committed memory, but a fix was applied, allowing strict overcommit to be safely enabled.
User has $2k to spend on local machine intelligence and $40k for top-of-the-line. They have 4x RTX Pro 6000s and built a DDR4 system to host them.
SQLite fixed a long-standing bug in WAL checkpointing that could lead to database corruption. The dqlite team used TLA+ to model SQLite's behavior and found that dqlite is not affected by the bug due to its stricter locking mechanism.
Valve has made the Steam Machine's e-ink display open source under the MIT license, allowing anyone to create their own "Inkterface". JSAUX plans to release pre-built versions of the display.
AI companies are capitalizing on hype, promising to replace humans, but actual value lies in tools that empower experts to work more effectively. The future of AI should complement human expertise, not threaten it, by providing better tools for professionals to do their jobs more efficiently.
One hundred years ago, on September 26, 1929, President Herbert Hoover gathered a group of social scientists at the White House. He asked them to begin research on the most detailed report ever produced on the state of the nation. Four years later, running more than 1,500 pages long, Recent Social Trends was published, offering an unusually granular look at life in the mid-1920s. The document ...
The author proposes a middle path called the Best Simple System for Now (BSSN), which balances simplicity and robustness by focusing on the current needs of a product. This approach prioritizes simplicity over future-proofing and encourages iterative delivery to reduce risk and increase return on investment.
Wordgard is an open-source JavaScript library for in-browser rich-text editors with a powerful programming interface. It's customizable and free to use under the MIT license, but commercial users are expected to contribute to its maintenance.
Screwworms, a flesh-eating parasite, have returned to the US after decades of eradication. The parasite was previously eliminated through a program that dropped millions of sterile male flies in infested areas.
Right to Intelligence advocates for open AI models, allowing users to download, own, and run them locally without needing a license. They provide state-specific call scripts to contact legislators about this issue.
I went into my kid’s school a couple months back and spoke to the year group about manufacturing. It was about the process of making my AI clock and I have a ton of pics from my factory visit to Shenzhen (mostly pics that I have only shared with Kickstarter backers). I talked about where ideas come from and the value of playing around, and how it’s neat to learn new techniques that you can ...
The author is disappointed that Rivian vehicles do not support CarPlay, a feature that allows phone interaction in cars. They believe Rivian should offer CarPlay as an option to attract more customers and increase sales.
Designing production-grade AI agents requires building a robust, multi-tiered persistent memory architecture. A common pitfall is expecting a single memory database or context retrieval tool to handle everything. In practice, building a truly smart agent requires stacking three complementary memory layers: conversational session context, user personalization profiles, and governed corporate ...
Safari MCP server is a new tool for web developers that makes debugging faster and more powerful by connecting agents to a Safari browser window. It enables agents to emulate user experiences, access DOM, network requests, and console output, reducing manual checks and improving productivity.
The author learned about the challenges of building accessible software through a project with a client who had blind and deaf employees, discovering that Microsoft's tools had significant accessibility gaps. The author emphasizes the importance of prioritizing accessibility from the start and working around platform limitations to create a better experience for users with disabilities.
A user discovered a security vulnerability in Linux 6.9 where LUKS encryption keys remained in memory after suspend, making laptops susceptible to cold boot attacks. A patch was created to wipe the LUKS encryption keys on suspend, inspired by Debian's cryptsetup-suspend, and is now available for other Linux distributions.
The user is working on a Rust to C compiler toolchain called cilly which can compile Rust code to C for arbitrary targets and is network transparent. The toolchain is still in development and not yet ready for public consumption due to some issues and the user's current busy schedule.
A new PostgreSQL extension, PL/CBMBASIC, brings Commodore 64 BASIC to PostgreSQL. It executes function bodies on Commodore 64 BASIC V2, with a 15-microsecond power cycle per call.
Podman v6.0.0 is now available with improved networking, enhanced machine capabilities, and configuration file handling. This release includes Docker compatibility improvements and new features like Pesto rootless port forwarding and Quadlet evolution.
The author reflects on their childhood experiences working with their father, a Colombian immigrant, and how it taught them about the importance of paying attention to details in reality, which is often overlooked. This realization has implications for various domains, including programming, physics, and personal growth, and the author argues that seeking out and noticing details is crucial ...
The author believes that programming languages can help prevent bugs in AI-generated code by enforcing global properties, such as data race freedom, through local reasoning. The author uses Rust as an example of a language that enforces data race freedom through ownership types and traits, and suggests that this approach could be applied to other languages to improve code reliability and productivity.
v3.0.0 Welcome to Immich v3.0.0! After months of hard work from the team and our amazing contributors, we're thrilled to announce the next major version of Immich: v3.0.0! 🎉 Breaking changes Th...
Researchers propose fuzzy-function programming, compiling natural-language functions into compact neural artifacts. This approach, Program-as-Weights, uses a 4B compiler to produce efficient adapters for a lightweight interpreter.
The game has great graphics, music, and gameplay despite its small size of 13k. It features enemy AI with line of sight checks, dynamic lighting, and impressive graphics for its tiny size.
