Using large language models like LLMs requires domain knowledge to get the most out of them. A skilled prompter like Terence Tao can steer the model with expertise in the domain, but this skill is not easily replicable by following tips.
Software engineers used to rarely write personal software, but now agents can easily manage customizing software, making it easier to personalize and maintain. Agents can build and manage custom software with minimal programming, allowing for more efficient and flexible use of software.
Bucket Robotics: Senior Fullstack Engineer, San Francisco, CA (On-site) - Own massive surface area, build customer-facing app, scale internal tooling, and design data pipelines. Product-minded engineer with systems thinking and curiosity.
Workers AI optimizes large models on GPUs by quantizing the KV cache to FP8, compressing model weights to INT4, and protecting the cache with integrity checks. These techniques enable efficient serving of models like Kimi K-series and GLM with no change in accuracy, supporting more customers at lower costs.
See what really happens in the ~200ms after you press Enter: a single HTTP request traced in real time through DNS, TCP, TLS, the Linux kernel, Node's event loop, and Postgres — then back to the pixel. Scroll distance equals time.

MiniMax H3 is a next-generation open-weights video model that generates 2K video with real stereo sound up to 15 seconds. It combines text, images, video, and audio inputs with a prompt to create a single video clip, reducing five tasks into one model.
The Battle of the Beams was a period early in the Second World War when bombers of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) used a number of increasingly accurate systems of radio navigation for night bombing in the United Kingdom. British scientific intelligence at the Air Ministry fought back with a variety of their own increasingly effective means, involving jamming and deception signals. The ...
I'm joining ClickHouse to lead ClickHouse Labs, a research team focused on advancing database technology. Our goal is to conduct impactful research and transform ideas into technology that benefits users, building on ClickHouse's strong foundation and exploring emerging AI and agentic technologies.
The Dunning-Kruger effect may not be a real bias in human thinking as it can be replicated with random data and is likely due to measurement error and unreliability. The effect was originally described as people overestimating their competence in areas they are not skilled at, but this may be an artefact of how the data was measured.
Effortless cloud coding agents that feel good to use.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the kind of control that the Spectrum’s BASIC gives us over the hardware, it’s time to dip down into machine language and see what is offered to us there. There’s quite a bit more to cover in this realm, and I expect it’s going to end up spread out over quite a few posts. It is also quite a bit more fraught than on many other platforms, because Sinclair only ...
User had a Kobo Libra H2O with a faulty battery, which was difficult to replace due to lack of suitable options. They found a replacement battery on Ali Express and successfully replaced it with a soldering iron and basic tools.
The entertainment industry in Los Angeles has been experiencing a production migration due to rising costs and tax incentives offered by other cities, leading to a decline in physical production in Hollywood. This migration has resulted in a widening gap between where stories are set and where they are filmed, with many productions choosing locations based on financial considerations rather ...
PlanetScale's backup system for sharded databases uses parallelism to minimize production impact and achieve petabyte-scale backups in hours, with techniques like spinning up backup-specific nodes and replaying Write-Ahead Logs. The system uses object storage, WAL archiving, and hybrid replay to ensure consistent backups, and is designed to be transparent and easy to use, with automated ...
AirLLM is a library that reduces inference memory usage for large language models, allowing them to run on a single GPU card without quantization or pruning. It supports various models, including Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, and more, and can be used with a simple one-line initialization.
Bonsai is a UI library for building performant, reactive web applications in OCaml, inspired by Elm. It allows for composable state machines and incremental rendering, making it easy to manage state and UI updates.
The ZX Spectrum has a 1-bit beeper and a General Instrument AY-3-8910 synthesizer chip for sound production, with the latter available in later models and as a peripheral for earlier ones. Three programs are created to play a C-major scale using the beeper and the AY-3-8910 chip, with the latter providing more precise and flexible sound control.
Copy COD4 game files to bin/(BUILD_TYPE)/* for development. Use AI for assistance, but remain responsible for code committed.
Cloudflare launched a Billable Usage API for self-serve accounts, providing a single endpoint to return account usage and cost, broken down by product and service period. This API is designed for automation, allowing developers to access usage data in real-time, enabling FinOps teams to attribute costs to internal projects and teams.
John MacFarlane created the document converter pandoc in 2006 using the Haskell programming language, which he chose for its strong type system and clean representation of structured documents. Over the next 20 years, pandoc evolved into a powerful tool supporting 51 input and 76 output formats, with over 600 contributors and a reputation for reliability and determinism, despite the potential ...

The user uses coding assistants to fast-forward through boring parts of projects, but manually types generated code to understand and adapt it, valuing comprehension over productivity. This workflow helps them build a mental model of their codebase and detect potential issues, allowing them to work faster and more efficiently.
The user wants to create a convenience tool to run common tasks across multiple code repositories with different tech stacks, such as installing dependencies, building, linting, formatting, running tests, and deploying. They discuss various options, including bash scripts, make, just, and mise, to create a task runner that simplifies their workflow and allows muscle memory to be applied to ...
A Rust-based metadata search engine aggregates results from multiple search engines, deduplicates and ranks them using Reciprocal Rank Fusion. It supports concurrent querying, HTML scraping, and a ratatui-based TUI interface.
Rust proposes introducing new traits like Move and Forget to make explicit what operations are possible on a type, allowing types to opt out of being moved or forgotten. This change aims to simplify immovable types and enable safe scoped spawn for async, while eventually deprecating the Pin trait.
