We're experimenting with LLaMA at a negative temperature to see unusual results. The model generates weird and incomprehensible text, repeating certain tokens like Хронологија and entferne.
User created a Snake game that runs on Windows, Linux, and in the browser from a single source file. The game is around 13 KiB in size and uses compression and packing techniques to achieve cross-platform compatibility.
The user replaced their $100/month VPS with a new setup using Fedora CoreOS, Ignition, and Podman Quadlets, automating container deployment and updates. They achieved a fully automated deployment process, but plan to add observability and potentially move TLS certificates to a block storage.
Implementing a filesystem in a sandboxed environment for AI agents provides ergonomic tool behavior and reduces tool space. FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) can be used to expose arbitrary data structures as files, making it easier to integrate with existing platforms.
The user met two influential people in San Francisco and will co-host an event on January 16th. They will revisit and update old blog posts from 2024, reflecting on predictions made in the bio-ML field and what has changed since.
The user, a programmer, believes AI has changed the field forever, making it possible to complete large projects with minimal human effort, and now sees AI as a tool to help write better software faster. They suggest embracing AI, testing its tools, and finding ways to multiply one's productivity, rather than resisting its impact, to stay relevant and continue enjoying the fun of programming.
Elo is a pure data language with no reference semantics, designed for non-technical users and safe data handling. It compiles to JavaScript, Ruby, and SQL with a simple syntax and standard library.
Go is simple to learn but nuanced to master, requiring attention to details like safety, memory efficiency, and concurrency control. This repository provides daily coding challenges to drill Go patterns into muscle memory and help seasoned developers adapt their skills to the Go ecosystem.
Gentoo Linux has 31663 ebuilds for 19174 packages, with 89 GBytes of binary packages available on mirrors. The project has 154 weekly installation stages and 377 external contributors.
The user has been working on several projects including a Spotify recommendation engine, a color palette tool, a Substack for life advice, a solitaire game platform, an iOS camera app, a USCIS form-filling tool, an AI time tracker, and a developer blog aggregator. They are also working on a daily puzzles website and are open to feedback and suggestions on their projects.
Companies are quietly not hiring juniors more than they're firing anyone. a new generation of developers is entering the workforce with different calculus. these aren't really predictions, but lenses for preparation - edward mcginnis, michael taylor and samantha nathaniemi. they say the coming years determine whether we trade understanding for speed. junior developers: use
Robert Escriva, a Cornell PhD, shares his experience with schizophrenia and applies debugging techniques to manage his condition. He wrote a guide, "Engineering Schizophrenia," to help others navigate mental health challenges.
The user has successfully self-hosted various services on a cheap mini PC using CLI agents like Claude Code, which made the process easier and enjoyable. They now have 13 services running on the device, including password management, photo storage, and media services, using minimal resources.

Super Smash Bros. and Kirby Air Riders use flat "billboarded" stock images of food, a style that has persisted for nearly 25 years. The images are sourced from Material Dictionary CDs and have undergone changes across various games, including Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby Air Ride, and Kirby Air Riders.
Chronon is a Rust implementation of a replicated log and consensus engine designed for systems that cannot afford to lose data or execute side effects twice. It combines Viewstamped Replication (VSR) with a durable outbox pattern to guarantee exactly-once semantics even across crashes and leader failovers. Chronon architecturally divorces the control plane (heartbeats, elections, view ...
Meta is partnering with companies like Oklo, TerraPower, and Vistra to add clean, reliable nuclear energy to the US grid, supporting AI innovation and creating thousands of jobs. The agreements will provide up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean energy by 2035, reinforcing America's nuclear supply chain and supporting new and existing jobs.
The user switched from Windows to Linux due to issues with telemetry and poor software stability in Windows 11, and they found Linux to be more stable and enjoyable to use. They tried various Linux distributions, including Mint, Debian, and Artix, and settled on Artix for its flexibility and customization options, which allowed them to fully unlock the potential of their computers.
A Figma engineer's hunt for the perfect answer to a programming challenge led to a mathematical odyssey to describe Apple's squircle shape, a rounded rectangle with continuous curvature. The engineer used mathematical tools to analyze the shape and develop a parametrizable smoothing scheme, but ultimately had to go back to the drawing board due to limitations in representing the shape with ...
C++ developers often misuse std::move, leading to performance issues due to unnecessary copies, and should instead use it to change the value category of an expression from lvalue to xvalue, allowing the compiler to select the move constructor. Properly implementing move semantics involves using std::exchange in move constructors and assignment operators, marking them noexcept, and avoiding ...
A KIM-1 demo celebrates its 50th birthday by gathering scattered components and inviting retro-computing enthusiasts to contribute. The goal is to experiment, build, and create together, including a painting program using cursor positioning.
The text discusses design theories for creating high-quality Quake 1 single-player maps, including guidelines for map quality, theme, architecture, and gameplay. It also lists common flaws to avoid in single-player levels, such as poor theme, instant death traps, and obscure progression, and emphasizes the importance of skill settings, monster placement, and secret usage.
Chinese firms plan to launch over 200,000 internet satellites, sparking concerns about orbital resource crowding. SpaceX's Starlink constellation, with 15,000 satellites, is currently the largest in low Earth orbit.
