Let me just explain how I got here. I looked for the intersection of LLMs that have scores on both: 1 The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index , a composite score of several benchmarks. 2 Most of these benchmarks have public questions and answers that an AI lab could train their models on directly, if they wanted to inflate their score (or even by accident). LiveBench , a high-quality private (contamination-free) benchmark th..

There’s no denying that AI is getting very capable, but one thing keeps bothering me: what happens if something goes wrong? Right now, self-driving cars still require human monitoring and intervention (outside of specially-designated areas). Isn’t this also true of a sufficiently complex system where you might need to intervene quickly in case AI fails to resolve an issue? Worth considering, right? You might say — so what? AI-writte....

A long time ago, there was a small Estonian website called “Mängukoobas” (literal translation from Estonian is “game cave”). It started out as a place for people to share various links to browser games, mostly built with Flash or Shockwave. It had a decent moderation system, randomized treasure chests that could appear on any part of the website, and a lot more. 1 What it also had was a basic filtering system. As a good chunk of ....

Well, well, well. It’s eleven days into August, and I’m just now getting to my monthly book reading post.

A practical, market-first playbook for developers to bootstrap software startups without external funding. Walling stresses niches, marketing over features, and measurable validation (keyword research, AdWords tests). Build a high-converting sales site, grow an email list, price with tiers, and use VAs/outsourcing and documented processes to scale. Set clear goals (e.g., first $500 MRR), iterate quickly, and focus on verticals where you can..

Mark and Julien recently represented Bootstrap in the second round of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund this past June. The program is designed to programmatically and financially improve the security and sustainability of open source projects, and we were honored to be a part of it. GitHub brought together open source maintainers, security experts, and ecosystem partners for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Throughout th..

It‘s unbelievable the detours you have to make in programming sometimes, especially in the early days of a project. Just when you think you have the architecture well and truly figured out, you realise there is this other very important part you just absolutely have to refactor. Sometimes it really feels endless. You find yourself doing a refactor while doing a refactor. And then you finally tie up all the loose ends, and a whole lot of o..


I often send to friends links about the NixOS ecosystem that I find interesting. I figured it's better if I write about it so I have an easily accessible archive of these links. Keep in mind, these links are based on my personal preferences and my observations.


A practical playbook for finding outsized growth by shifting from optimization to discovery—map the customer journey (Struggle → Search → Selection), build a growth model (North Star, key drivers, rate‑limiting step), and run hypothesis‑driven sprints to do fewer, bigger things that truly move the needle.

In a recent blog post, I laid out the argument that, if you have securely implemented end-to-end encryption in your software, then the jurisdiction where your ciphertext is stored is almost irrelevant. Where jurisdiction does come into play, unfortunately, is where your software is developed and whether or not the local government will employ rubber-hose […]

I want to learn Perl to advance my horizon in terms of scripting, and Perl seems like a convenient language for both replacing more complex shell scripts and writing simple backend scripts. In my experience I learn best from reading from a book, hence my question: What beginner Perl books can you recommend? I would appreciate it if the style and functionality discussed includes recent developments, though I'm aware that due to it being Perl..

Somehow, we had already got further than planned. We had made it past Reading, got through 22 locks, and only had four left before Abingdon. However, today I needed to get back to Cambridge, and wanted to be at a train station for 3pm, so we only had half a day left to work with. We wasted no time in leaving early, and were underway just after 7am. (7:00am) A view of the field we moored against near South Stoke. This was pe..

I‘ve been reading about running LLM‘s locally for the past few days. It‘s something I looked into briefly before but it always seemed too complicated. I‘ve noticed that since OpenAI released their open source models , people on various podcasts have been talking about this more, so I‘ve been checking projects out and what not. It‘s seeming more achievable, I think partly because the tech has progressed but also my understanding of the spac..
