The author returns to blogging after a year's hiatus, citing a mea culpa for not writing more despite having ideas and a spreadsheet. They discuss their use of AI in writing and coding, but express concern about the impact on their brain and creativity.
Language diversity has been decreasing rapidly over the past one to three millennia, with a peak of tens of thousands of languages 3000 to 1000 years ago. The loss of linguistic diversity is not a new phenomenon, but rather a long-standing process that has been shaped by factors such as multinational empires, pathogens, and cultural exchange.
The user discovered a vulnerability in Y Combinator's Paxel system that allowed anyone to forge and push any score to their ranking database due to an unvalidated HMAC. YC admirably patched the issue within hours after public disclosure and invited the user to attend their Startup School in SF.
Foldkit is a frontend framework that uses The Elm Architecture, providing a structured and declarative approach to state, effects, and views. It offers a coherent system with built-in routing, state management, UI components, and form validation.
gsxui is a shadcn-style component set for gsx: copy-in, type-checked, server-rendered. Own the code, style it with Tailwind, ship it.
Black Forest Labs developed FLUX 3, a multimodal foundation model that generates audio-visual content and controls robots, and its next-generation model FLUX-mimic is being used in real factory use cases. FLUX-mimic's success is due to its ability to learn a well-structured world model and expose it in decodable representations, making it sample efficient and robust for various tasks and industries.
macOS/x64 port will be deprecated in JDK 27 to reduce maintenance costs due to Apple's transition to AArch64. Maintenance will stop unless credible developers express a desire to maintain the port.
DuckDB is used for high-performance SQL-based graph queries in analytical workflows. DuckPGQ is a research project integrating with DuckDB, still in progress and seeking feedback.
The writer struggles with staying focused due to constant distractions, which have become a habit over time. They want to regain their ability to focus on one activity for long periods without getting sidetracked.
The App Store is experiencing a surge in vibe coded apps, with non-game apps now generating the most revenue. The app review team is struggling to keep up with the volume, causing delays and inconsistent feedback.
Self-hosting a mailserver is possible in 2026, even from home, with solutions like docker-mailserver and rspamd's GPT plugin for effective spam filtering. With proper setup and maintenance, including DNS records and backups, self-hosting a mailserver can provide data sovereignty and a reliable email experience.
Fenic is a DataFrame library for building AI and LLM pipelines with a PySpark-style API, using Polars as its core execution engine. To extend Polars' capabilities, fenic uses expression plugins written in Rust, which provide a native, composable, and parallelizable way to perform row-level operations that Polars cannot express natively.
Everyone loves a good GIF, and my favourite (of all time) is this one (circa 2015): For this step I’ll be using the Lomo ActionSampler, a plastic camera made in China by a series of anonymous unknown factories. It’s been branded as many different things over the years, including as the Revolver Selby in 1991, so it’s a design that’s at least 35 years old. The camera uses a unique clockwork ...
The quadruped robot combines wheels and legs for high-speed and obstacle-overcoming capabilities, adapting to stairs, gravel, and steep slopes. It features 95 N·m joints, 7-inch wheels, and a 648 Wh battery, but actual performance may vary based on usage conditions.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto routing protocol of the Internet. It offers built-in mechanisms to allow entities, represented by Autonomous Systems (ASes), to express how they want to send and receive traffic on the Internet. One such mechanism is path attributes, which carry essential routing information and metadata for their associated route. The path selection algorithm ...
FLUX 3 is a multimodal foundation model that jointly learns from images, videos, and audio to create a unified representation of the world. It can generate diverse videos and images, predict actions, and edit content, and is being developed for real-world visual intelligence and physical AI applications.
The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre ordered GitHub to remove Bitchat, a Bluetooth-based messaging app, citing risks of misuse by anti-national elements and terrorist organisations. The app's design allows anonymous communication and evades lawful surveillance, posing a risk to India's sovereignty and public order.

The author describes the process of making Xen dom0 NUMA-aware, which involves fixing several bugs and implementing new code to accurately represent the host's topology to dom0. The work includes exposing the host's proximity domain for a given machine frame to dom0, teaching dom0's unpopulated-page allocator to keep per-node pools, and implementing new code to ensure that dom0 backend ...
Codeberg's decision to exclude projects with generative AI code is within its rights as a democratic association, but its vague terms may lead to inconsistent enforcement and favor certain projects over others. This decision may hinder Codeberg's potential as a broad and dependable European alternative to GitHub.
