Why the Legendary Erdős Problems Are Falling to AI

The author compared the build times of Ninja and build2 on a project called Xerces-C++ and found that build2 was able to match or exceed Ninja's speed by making different design decisions, such as being a native build system, multi-threaded, and performing explicit header dependency extraction. By disabling certain features and caching information, build2 was able to achieve a 2.2% faster ...

Silicon Valley sees AI as the solution – for everyone else

17 MaysonL 2026-08-05 13:59:59 UTC observer.co.uk Llama Share 6

Tech moguls like Dario Amodei and Elon Musk talk nonsense about AI's impact due to their narrow STEM backgrounds and "solutionism" ideology, which oversimplifies complex social issues. This leads to a dystopian vision of a highly stratified society with a surplus population, service-sector working class, homoploutic class, and tech aristocracy, as economist Branko Milanović's model suggests.

A while back we rolled a routine Envoy upgrade to one of our customers' dedicated proxies. Same config, same traffic, and the CPU graphs stepped up by roughly a fifth. This is the kind of chart that earns you a calendar invite with no agenda, so we decided to get ahead of it and started digging in.

Painting with Gaussians

Last year I built an edge-aware pixelation tool to turn images into pixel art by deforming a grid so that it follows image edges instead of naively using a fixed grid over the picture. Using an edge adapter grid bent to inform the color and brightness of the pixels worked well for keeping edges crisp and preserving details. I later realized the same edge information could also be applied in a ...
