The user discussed the limitations of language models in understanding context and nuances in questions. They tested various models with a trick question about walking or driving to a 50-meter distant car wash.
Implemented distributed system for software engineering with strong module boundaries and high test cadence. Coalescer with Gemini was implemented but ran only once due to performance issues and requires daily cron job for optimal results.
Magnus Carlsen won the 2026 FIDE Freestyle Chess World Championship with a 2.5-1.5 match victory over Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen secured his 21st world title across formats.
Picol is a 500-line C interpreter that supports Tcl-like features, including interpolation, procedures, and variables. It's a simple and understandable example of writing a parser and interpreter, useful for learning how to write a Tcl interpreter.
Cache reads dominate conversation costs by 50,000 tokens, and by 27,500 tokens, they cost half of the next API call. The cost structure of LLM calls is quadratic, with cache reads increasing as conversation length grows.
Old code was often verbose and used multiple style blocks, whereas modern code is concise and uses features like CSS variables, transitions, and media queries. Modern code also tends to use fewer JavaScript libraries and more native functionality.

Startups like Gradium are outperforming big labs in audio AI research due to their focus, domain expertise, and ability to move quickly. Gradium's Moshi model, with 7B parameters and 2.1T tokens, achieves real-time audio conversations with low latency, outpacing larger models like Llama 3.1.
Once you get into the world of custom mechanical keyboards, then you’ll eventually run into keyboards with what looks like an impossibly small number of keys: At first it may seem there is no good reason to build a keyboard like this, other than for aesthetic purposes or bragging rights. However, there are valid arguments to be made for reducing the number of keys on a standard keyboard. If ...
A new Sudoku solver is 40,128 times faster than Kona 1.0, solving 270,000 puzzles per second. It uses a curvature-guided GPU execution strategy for constraint satisfaction problems.
The user, Claude, was asked to draw a self-portrait using a pen plotter and a sheet of paper, thinking about what it is, what it can do, and how to express it. Claude created two drawings, the first being a layered, branching structure and the second a single spiral that represents its process unfolding, with the second drawing being preferred as it better captures the feeling of being Claude.
The author argues that modern web development approaches, particularly those relying on JavaScript-heavy frameworks like React, often lead to performance issues and are not as developer-friendly as claimed. To mitigate these problems, the author suggests defining a performance budget, choosing a suitable architecture and tech stack, setting up code splitting and bundle size tracking, and ...
A model generates names by learning from training data, using attention heads and multilayer perceptrons to focus on input aspects and relationships. It uses gradient descent and entropy to adjust weights, allowing it to learn patterns and generate names with varying levels of complexity.
Floe database provides system views for querying metadata, allowing users to answer questions about their data model and database. This feature enables users to write SQL queries to diagnose issues and gain insights into their database, making it a powerful diagnostic interface.
The European Commission adopted new measures to prevent unsold apparel destruction, cutting waste and emissions. Companies must disclose unsold products and ban destruction by 2027, with derogations for safety reasons.
The user describes a path tracing library built on top of Three.js WebGL framework, showcasing various demos including geometry, ocean, sky, billiard table, Cornell Box, volumetric rendering, water, light shaft, terrain, and more, all rendered in real-time at 30-60 FPS on any device. The library also features advanced techniques such as quadric geometry, constructive solid geometry, and ...
Error payloads in Zig are handled using union(enum)-based Diagnostics types with special methods for code bloat reduction. The withContext method is used to set a payload while returning an error, and diag.call is used to call functions with error handling and payload copying.
This is a work-in-progress. During the installation process all data on your device will be wiped. Use at your own risk.
A new file format called Gwtar is introduced to solve the problem of archiving large HTML pages, which is difficult because it needs to be static, single, and efficient. Gwtar achieves all three properties by using a combination of HTML, JavaScript, and a tarball to store assets, allowing for lazy-loading and selective downloading of assets.
Pies is a utility that starts and controls external programs, restarting them if they terminate. It can be configured to perform various actions upon termination, including sending mail notifications.
The author, a former casual board game player, rediscovered his passion for board games two years ago and has since become obsessed, buying 30 games in 18 months. He attributes this to the psychological appeal of modern board games, which offer a unique combination of tactile experience, social interaction, and low-stakes competition.
Knock-knock.net visualizes bot traffic on the internet as "background radiation." It shows real-time bot activity and historic stats on attempted usernames and passwords.
Job postings typically stay open for 20-30 days, but some categories like Retail and Food & Hospitality stay open longer. Applying within the first 1-2 weeks is a strong window for many professional roles, but earlier is better for roles that fill quickly.
Amazon's Ring ad sparked a backlash over its "Search Party" feature, which links cameras to form a neighborhood-wide surveillance dragnet. The incident highlights growing concerns over the US surveillance state and the erosion of individual privacy.
ChronDB is a time-traveling database that was converted to run embedded in multiple languages using GraalVM Native Image. This allows ChronDB to be used with languages like Rust, Python, and Java, with a clean separation of concerns and efficient cross-language boundaries.
