In my last post, I announced that I created a bash tool for easier blogging in the terminal, inspired by the tildeverse. Today, I want to continue my discussion on visions of alternative Internets that are already being created. Sounds boring, right? Or at least complicated, but it really isn't. URIs are just the protocols set for browsing the Internet. There are many, some official (as ...

The user discovered that matrix multiplication performance on an Nvidia A100 GPU is influenced by the values in the matrices being multiplied, with all zeros being the fastest and a normal distribution being the slowest due to power throttling. The GPU's power limit and clock speed also affect performance, with the GPU unable to sustain its peak clock speed due to power throttling, resulting ...

Software vulnerabilities pose critical security threats, with nearly 50,000 CVEs reported in 2025. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise for automated vulnerability detection, three key challenges remain. First, LLM-generated vulnerability reports suffer from high false positive rates and lack reproducible verification. Second, existing LLM-based approaches use suboptimal ...
User adapted Rémi Louf's idea to use a CLI chat agent (pi) for shell commands and quick answers. They created thin shell scripts (comma and q) to invoke pi and provide suggested commands or answers in the terminal.

Containers are fun. The ecosystem is incredibly open, with the internals right there for anyone to explore. Once you wrap your head around the specifications, you unlock the power to build custom tools and may even discover unexpected use cases1. Speaking of “unexpected use cases”, today I have a demo to share: a web application that builds containers right in your browser, relying only on ...

A modification to the Raft consensus protocol uses finite projective planes to allow progress with fewer than a majority of nodes, ensuring safety by guaranteeing any two valid voting blocs share a common node. The trade-off is that not every subset of nodes forms a valid bloc, and the protocol is not guaranteed to make progress whenever a majority of nodes is active.

Private equity firms acquire and consolidate essential services, loading them with debt and cutting costs to maximize profits, often at the expense of workers, communities, and service quality. This business model, exemplified by the fire truck industry, prioritizes returns over public needs, leading to delayed services, increased costs, and even loss of life.
Claude Code is a programmable agent that needs guardrails to produce high-quality output, and its workflow shifts when treated as an autonomous agent with verification. The key to Claude's success lies in setting up a CLAUDE.md file, skills, subagents, and plugins to create a compounding infrastructure that improves over time.
Researchers developed a method to build precise carbon structures on a silicon surface with control over atomic placement and chemical bonding. This technique uses a scanning tunneling microscope to assemble polyyne structures through stepwise carbon-carbon bond formation.
Yeats wrote of an aged man as “a tattered coat upon a stick.” But for most of us, aging comes as small diminishments: the morning that takes a little longer to shake off, the flight of stairs you notice, the cold that lingers a week instead of three days, the run that used to feel easy. We register these shifts as fatigue or a busy season before we register them as time. The body is keeping ...
