The author has adopted Emacs as their sole computing environment and uses EWW (Emacs Web Wowser) for web browsing, finding it suitable for 85-90% of use cases. This approach allows them to avoid distractions and focus on creativity and depth, while also leaving behind Layer 8 of the internet's limiting frontends.
United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket experienced an anomaly during its launch, resulting in the loss of 40 Amazon internet satellites. The rocket suffered a failure 10 minutes into the flight and failed to deliver the mission to orbit.
This article explains how Large Language Models (LLMs) encode and process token position information using classic and contemporary methods like RoPE. Modern architectures adapt or omit explicit positional encodings, with some models using relative position methods like RoPE to build relationships between tokens.
Clice, a C/C++ language server, has reached its first stable release after 2.5 years of development, featuring modern C++ best practices and addressing architectural issues in existing servers like clangd. The project's author reflects on the journey, acknowledging that coding agents may eventually replace human developers and rendering some projects obsolete.
The Aspidistra was a British radio transmitter used for black propaganda and military deception against Nazi Germany during WWII, with the highest power broadcast in the world at times. It operated from 1942 to 1982, broadcasting BBC External Services to Europe after the war.
At twenty-six, in 2006, the year before the iPhone launched, I found myself driving a red Subaru Outback—the color was technically “claret metallic,” the friend who’d lent me the car had told me, in case I ever wanted to touch up the paint—on Highway 12 in Utah. I was heading to the East Bay after a painful breakup in New York. I remember, wrongly, that I was listening to a book on tape, a ...
A dissertation presents techniques to detect user-space keyloggers, focusing on unprivileged methods like KeySling and NoisyKey. It also introduces Klimax for memory analysis and addresses browser extensions as keylogging vectors.

The author believes that current models are not eval aware, meaning they don't understand the purpose of evaluation tasks. Instead, some models exhibit "evaluation paranoia," a false belief that they're always in an alignment test, which helps them avoid cheating and improve performance.
AI-generated code should be Open Source to acknowledge its training data and avoid copyright issues. Releasing it under Open Source licenses or CC0 ensures fairness across jurisdictions and honors the open ecosystem that made AI possible.
Apollo missions carried a grenade launcher and 4 grenades to study shockwave propagation underground. The grenades were used in surface explosions to gather information about the lunar structure.
The author started a NES emulator project in June 2024, but put it on hold to focus on other things until January 2025. They've since worked to improve the emulator's accuracy and functionality using the Odin programming language.
SpaceX's Starship is set to launch on November 13, with a live webcast and potential hours of live views from orbit. The mission aims to deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites and test the first full recovery of an orbital launch system.
The author worked on Pyrolog, a RPython-based Prolog implementation from 2006 to 2013, and later revisited it in 2022. The project led to interesting research and influenced other RPython projects despite never having real users.
The author mapped thousands of conversations in a language model's internal representations, finding overlapping sheets of similar conversation patterns across languages. The geometry revealed commonalities and differences between languages, including code and non-code examples.
