You are given a mathematical problem to solve in a dark alley at night by a hooded figure with a gun. The problem is to find the probability that the circumcircle of three points chosen independently and uniformly at random from the interior of a unit circle is entirely contained within the unit circle. You transform the problem into a new coordinate system and calculate the Jacobian ...

MirageOS uses Lwt for event-driven systems, but it has limitations such as requiring code adaptation and closure allocation, which can be addressed with the delimcc library implementing delimited continuations. Benchmarks show that delimcc is slower than Lwt for small callstacks, but its performance improves with larger callstacks, making code interoperability a more important consideration ...
User created a tool to securely share files with friends using Shamir's Secret Sharing, allowing any 3 friends to recover the file together. The tool provides a simple, self-contained way for friends to collaborate in file recovery.
Heroku transitions to sustaining engineering model focusing on stability and security. Customers can continue using Heroku with no changes to pricing, billing, or functionality.
Vault Corporation developed Prolok, a copy-protection method that used damaged disk surfaces to prevent software piracy, but it was eventually bypassed by anti-Prolok utilities and led to a lawsuit that set a precedent in copyright case law. Vault's reputation was severely damaged after announcing Prolok Plus, a product that could potentially erase or infect users' computers, leading to the ...
Well, its been a hot minute since I’ve updated the blog. Life decided that it had other plans for me over the past 18 months or so. The good news though, dear reader, is that we are back and I have lots in store for 2026! So let’s kick things off the right way here. I have some incredible and previously unseen footage of Battlezone cabinets being built at Atari from late summer/early fall ...
To work effectively with an AI system, document project requirements, specifications, and architecture in detail, including coding standards, best practices, and design patterns. Use standardized formats and visual aids to communicate complex structures and workflows, and develop efficient debug systems to simplify the process for the AI to identify and resolve code issues.
This is a GUI-first, multi-service gRPC scaffold for Android DevKit style workflow with a thin GTK UI and CLI clients. It supports ARM64-first Android development tooling with features like job state streaming, toolchain catalog, and run history storage.
The author joined OpenAI to work on ChatGPT performance, driven by the need to save costs and the planet through datacenter performance engineering. They were drawn to OpenAI after seeing everyday people's enthusiastic use of ChatGPT, including their hairstylist.
R3forth is a minimalist programming language and environment with a lightweight core and native ambitions for speed. It offers a flexible development loop and a rich ecosystem with a powerful suite of libraries.
Language models are not yet reliable context learners, failing on most tasks despite having access to all required information. Current models rely on parametric knowledge and struggle with inductive reasoning, context length, and complexity.
Google announced the public preview of the Developer Knowledge API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing official developer documentation. These tools provide a machine-readable gateway to Google's documentation, enabling AI assistants to stay current with the latest releases.
A DevOps engineer left their job after five years to become a Solutions Engineer at Infisical, where they talk to people daily, learn new things, and solve problems. This role combines technical skills with human interaction, providing a sense of fulfillment and challenge.
The Smithsonian's National Zoo welcomed an Asian elephant calf born to 12-year-old mother Nhi Linh and 44-year-old father Spike. The calf is the first offspring for Nhi Linh and will help strengthen the genetic diversity of the Asian elephant population.
User is learning about neural networks from basics, focusing on visualization to understand how they work. They explain a simple use case of recognizing handwritten numbers using neural networks with input, processing, and output.
Apple partnered with Taboola to serve ads in Apple News, but users are seeing scam ads that look like they were generated by AI. The ads are often from recently registered domains, raising concerns about Apple's and Taboola's ad vetting process.
The user suggests using FORTH and associative languages for transformer architectures, allowing local edits and efficient generation. They benchmarked prefix and postfix notations on parity trees, finding postfix outperforms prefix and Opus outperforms Haiku.
