Imagine my shock and surprise to discover that when I submit resumes now, I quickly see LLM research agents in my access logs pouring over my portfolio page . As time moves ever forward, I suspect I’ll be dealing with AI agents more frequently, especially in the job market. I’m not thrilled about this, but I can’t do anything about it - so, if you can’t beat them, join them. My website is already fairly straight-forward HTML and CSS,..

I love 3D printing. Out of all the tech hype cycles and trends over the last decade, this one is genuinely useful. There’s simply something magical about being able to design or download a model from the internet, send it to a machine, and after a few hours you get an actual physical object in return! I don’t own a 3D printer myself, but I’ve had access to people who are happy to help out by printing something for me. So far I’ve ....

There’s something icky about LLM-generated text when you think it’s written by a human. I think I finally put my finger on one reason why I feel this way.

As a leader in computer performance I've been asked by companies about how (and why) to form a performance engineering team, and as this is broadly useful I'll share my advice here. Large tech companies in the US hire performance engineers (under that or other titles) to ensure that infrastructure costs and service latency don't grow too high, and that their service is reliable under peak load. A new performance team can likely find enou....

In a world where intelligence is too cheap to meter, is the generic chat box the final UI? I argue that the best products of this generation will go deeper, and reset the frame entirely on workflows.

By this article, I would like to help other understanding what it is, and when it is useful. => https://www.qubes-os.org/ Qubes OS official project page Two years ago, I wrote something that was mostly a list of Qubes OS features, but this was not really helping readers to understand what is Qubes OS except it does XYZ stuff. While Qubes O....

We’ve all heard the horror stories where an unsandboxed coding agent deletes the user’s entire home directory. As a mitigation, many vibe coding tools are now using Docker to contain the agent’s actions. Unfortunately, Docker is not a good tool to keep the vibe coding agents at bay . To quote Docker’s own documentation (emphasis mine): The docker group grants root-level privileges to the user . For details on how this impacts secu....

My website was banned from Lobsters as 'startup slop' for using AI agents to help write blog posts. When does tool-assisted writing become slop, and why are we having the wrong conversation about AI in content creation?

Ever since the soykaf at OpenAI and other "AI" mills started spitting out Lain clones and chatbots, this place has been flooded with machine‑generated noise. It's like watching a bot recite the poetry of corpses. There was a time when /sec/ meant actual hackers sharing real knowledge, not bots summarising blog posts and posting AI‑art abominations. I come here to read minds, not to read prompts. If you can't form a thought without a m..

The old timers who built the early web are coding with AI like it’s 1995. Think about it: They gave blockchain the sniff test and walked away. Ignored crypto (and yeah, we’re not rich now). NFTs got a collective eye roll. But AI? Different story. The same folks who hand-coded HTML while listening to dial-up modems sing are now vibe-coding with the kids. Building things. Breaking things. Giddy about it.

My background contemplation this month has been about siblings. I am astonished by how different they can be. The way that some people seem more skeptical and others more credulous. The range of variability in how much they care what other people think of them. What they believe other people owe them and they owe others. I have no idea if nature or nurture is a useful framework or continuum. What siblings believe and how they behave could....
