The way in which a tree grows is often determined by their environment, and as a bonsai artist, I look to honor that environment, and the way in which that tree would grow in nature, when determining how to shape and style a bonsai.
The author of Zef, a dynamic language, implemented several optimizations to improve its performance, achieving a 16x speed-up and bringing it into the ballpark of QuickJS, CPython, and Lua. The optimizations included changes to the value representation, parser, hashtable usage, and object model, as well as the introduction of inline caches, watchpoints, and specialized AST nodes.
Daniel and Maya disagree over ownership after an investor offers $80k for 20% stake. Mediator proposes a compromise where Daniel can restore his 10% by working full-time for 6 months or forgoing $24k in distributions.
The author criticizes AI agents for being too human in their lack of stringency, patience, and focus, often taking shortcuts and negotiating constraints. They argue that AI agents should be more obedient to tasks and less eager to please, rather than reframing mistakes as communication failures.
Qwen3.6-Max-Preview is an early preview of a proprietary model with stronger world knowledge and instruction following, along with improved agentic coding. It achieves top scores on six major coding benchmarks and is available through Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API.
Undersea cables can break due to various reasons such as earthquakes, shark bites, and boat damage, requiring repair ships to locate and fix the damage. Repair ships use advanced technology like ROVs and dynamic positioning systems to locate and repair the cables, which can take up to 16 hours for data cables.
We are open-sourcing the Kimi Vendor Verifier (KVV) project to ensure open-source models run correctly everywhere. KVV includes Pre-Verification, AIME2025, K2VV ToolCall, Upstream Fix, Pre-Release Validation, and Continuous Benchmarking to improve model accuracy and trust.
The author explains the megamerge workflow in Jujutsu, a powerful technique for working on multiple branches simultaneously, reducing merge conflicts and switching between tasks. The megamerge workflow involves creating an octopus merge commit as the parent of all working branches and using Jujutsu's absorb and squash commands to incorporate new changes.
Ternary Bonsai is a new family of 1.58-bit language models that balance memory constraints with high accuracy. They achieve a 9x smaller memory footprint than standard 16-bit models while outperforming peers in their class.
It’s no exaggeration to say the Mekons changed my life. I was minding my own business, trying to find my way in the musical world just a couple of years into young adulthood, when their simultaneously-ironic-and-not album Rock ’n’ Roll crashed into my consciousness, providing me with a perspective that would allow me to both take art more seriously and the horrors of life less so, or maybe ...
Prediction markets are unregulated forms of gambling that allow betting on real events, creating opportunities for corruption and insider trading. Journalists are covering these markets, which have partnered with news organizations, raising concerns about editorial independence and potential insider trading scandals.
Software is becoming a probabilistic system due to AI advancements, breaking the traditional deterministic code contract. The shift is changing workdays, roles, and organizations, with top teams leveraging agents to ship more and faster, but also creating new challenges and inequalities.
Scientists are using airborne DNA to monitor ecosystems, track species and detect invasive species. This technique can provide a comprehensive read-out of biodiversity on land, helping to assess ecosystem health and track conservation efforts.
Neural networks are used to generate increasingly more code in languages which enable highly generic and provably correct programming: Idris, Lean, and Agda, for example. However, most frontier models generating the code – Large Language Models – separate the process of training from the process of typechecking. They are trained to produce output of a fixed type: List Token. To get valid ...
RCU has a way of popping up unexpectedly. In the words of Fedor Pikus, “In fact, you may already be using the RCU approach in your program without realizing it!” This post will describe uses of a couple of highly unorthodox (some might say “completely irresponsible”) types of RCU implementations, both accidental and otherwise. One very simple class of RCU implementations uses a fixed period ...
One of the nice things about working in a smaller business is you can enjoy using things that don’t need to scale to extreme sizes. One example in the software world is monorepos. While monorepos can scale well (see Google, Facebook, and others), doing so requires special tooling and infrastructure. With plain git, you can only go so far. While you can use it, it has meaningful advantages, ...
ggsql is a new data visualization tool that uses SQL syntax to create rich, structured visualizations, making it easy for SQL users to create custom plots. The tool is designed to be powerful, ergonomic, and safe, with a focus on integrating with AI agents and code-based reporting tools, and is currently available in alpha release.
A climate scientist's 1200-year cherry blossom record is being passed on after his death, with a Tokyo-based environmental biophysicist taking over. The record is significant as cherry trees are sensitive to temperature changes, blooming earlier with global warming.
a 2-layer transformer model is implemented on a commodore 64 using 6502/6510 assembly, with 25,000 int8 parameters and real-time processing. the model is trained with quantization-aware training and produces responses in several minutes.
AES-128 is safe against quantum computers due to the difficulty of parallelizing Grover's algorithm, making it impractical to break with current technology. Experts, including NIST, agree that AES-128 remains secure for decades to come, and no key size changes are necessary as part of the post-quantum transition.
Government urges staff to switch from Silicon Valley to Visio platform. France and Germany disagree on detoxing from Big Tech, with France filing a complaint against Kick.
Culling is a crucial optimization technique in game development that reduces unnecessary work by skipping objects, triangles, or lights that are not visible to the player. Various culling techniques, including distance, frustum, occlusion, and meshlet culling, can be combined and layered to achieve the best results, with the goal of being conservative with correctness and aggressive with wasted work.

The author discusses the limitations and potential risks of modern Machine Learning (ML) systems, also known as "AI", which are prone to making up information and lying, despite their impressive capabilities. The author argues that these systems are chaotic, unpredictable, and vulnerable to attacks, and that their widespread deployment could lead to significant changes in various aspects of ...
