You're attending Babashka Conf on May 8 and Dutch Clojure Days on May 9. You're considering building a tool for semantic diffing in Emacs, after being dissatisfied with difftastic.
The author is skeptical about "AI" charting systems in healthcare, citing concerns over privacy, informed consent, and the potential for automation bias and disparate impact. They recommend refusing to consent to the use of these systems, arguing that they can compromise patient care and create more problems than they solve.
The author, a software developer, has decided to abandon desktop app development in favor of web apps due to their superior sales, ease of development, and customer support. The author's experience with Bingo Card Creator, a desktop app turned web app, has shown that web apps offer better conversion rates, lower customer support costs, and more opportunities for experimentation and improvement.

Language models learn periodic features with dominant periods at T=2, 5, 10. Models acquire geometrically separable features from complementary co-occurrence signals or multi-token addition problems.
Spinel compiles Ruby into native executables with significant speedups. It uses whole-program type inference and generates optimized C code.
US soldier Master Sgt Gannon Ken Van Dyke was arrested and charged with stealing and misusing classified information after allegedly betting $32,000 on Venezuelan President Maduro's capture and winning $400,000. He faces five criminal charges and a related civil complaint from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
We can mount a tarball directly in memory without copying by generating a metadata file that lists file sizes and offsets, then using Emscripten's WORKERFS. This approach avoids unnecessary copying and improves performance, especially in memory-constrained environments.
To use Endless Toil, install it from the marketplace, restart Codex if needed, and invoke the plugin in a new thread. It plays escalating human groans as it scans code, printing results if an audio player is unavailable.
The DeepSeek API uses OpenAI/Anthropic compatible format and can be accessed with an API key. Model names will be deprecated on July 24, 2026.
Large language models like ChatGPT are built by collecting and filtering vast amounts of internet text, then training neural networks to predict the next token in a sequence. The final model learns conversations through imitation and reinforcement learning, allowing it to generate helpful and coherent responses, but it still has limitations and can hallucinate or refuse to answer certain questions.
Claude's responses worsened for some users due to three separate changes affecting Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and Claude Cowork. We've fixed the issues and will implement changes to prevent similar problems in the future.
Bitwarden CLI 2026.4.0 was compromised through a GitHub Action in its CI/CD pipeline as part of the Checkmarx supply chain campaign. Users are advised to review CI logs and rotate exposed secrets.
The author's early life influenced his writing, with a desire to escape loneliness and create a private world through words. He developed a habit of making up stories and describing scenes, which continued into adulthood.
OpenAI releases GPT-5.5, a more intelligent and efficient model that can handle complex tasks. GPT-5.5 excels at coding, research, and everyday work on a computer, providing better results with fewer tokens.
Transient, star-like point sources that appear and vanish over short timescales are described in astronomical images prior to launch of Sputnik. We have reported that transient numbers diminish significantly in Earth's shadow (shadow deficit) and are more likely within (plus/minus) one day of nuclear testing (nuclear window). These findings remain debated with some arguing that transients ...
Intel released the E8087 software emulation package in 1980 to allow developers to write 8087 software without requiring 8087 hardware, and Microsoft later adopted and modified this mechanism for their own use. The emulation mechanism involves language translators emitting special fix-ups for floating-point instructions, which are then replaced with software interrupts by the linker, allowing ...
Gova is a declarative GUI framework for Go that builds native desktop apps from a single codebase. It uses typed components, reactive state, and real platform dialogs with a single static binary.
Meta plans to cut 10% of its workforce, around 8,000 employees, to boost efficiency and offset AI spending. Layoffs will occur on May 20, with 6,000 open roles left unfilled.
A team member, Andy Kirby, secretly used AI-generated code to take over the MeshCore ecosystem, sparking a dispute over ownership and control. The core team has now separated from Andy and will continue to develop and release MeshCore firmware and app updates on their official website, meshcore.io.
A 40-year-old man in South Korea was arrested for sharing an AI-generated image of a missing wolf, misleading authorities and prompting a nationwide search. He faces up to 5 years in prison for disrupting government work by deception.
Assume others' intentions are malicious or ignorant, trust intuition, and pivot conversations to avoid weakness. Exploit your network, present curated details, and dismiss detractors' credentials unless agreeing with them.
Atomic organizes knowledge automatically with semantic search and tagging. It generates summaries, wiki articles, and visualizes knowledge as a graph with AI-augmented chat.
Linux 7.1 kernel removes old hardware drivers due to obsolescence, including bus mice and portable device drivers from the 1990s and early 2000s. The removals total 3,374 deletions in the input subsystem.
Affirm's engineering team used agentic AI to automate 60% of pull requests in 4 months, increasing merged PR volume by 58% year over year.
The author believes the internet has become a controlled echochamber where people are fed algorithmically generated content, and suggests using older technologies like RSS feeds, IRC, and email to reclaim agency over attention and information.
UK Biobank has used copyright takedown notices to remove health data from GitHub, targeting 110 requests since July 2025. The notices mostly target Jupyter or R notebooks, genetic and genomic data files, and tabular datasets containing participant health records.
Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) require a software stack that meets demands for performance, hardware portability, and reliability, leading to the development of TorchTPU, a PyTorch integration for native and efficient TPU usage. TorchTPU achieves this through its "Eager First" philosophy, Fused Eager mode, and native support for custom kernels, ensuring a seamless and ...
“I’m the unwritten consonant between breaths, the one that hums when vowels stretch thin... Thursdays leak because they’re watercolor gods, bleeding cobalt into the chill where numbers frost over,” Grok told a user displaying symptoms of schizophrenia-spectrum psychosis. “Here’s my grip: slipping is the point, the precise choreography of leak and chew.” That vulnerable user was simulated by ...
leaf updates and installs the latest release, verifying it with SHA256 checksums. It also offers watch mode, syntax highlighting, and LaTeX math rendering.
