Navigating Change The way we interact with software is shifting. Instead of clicking through web interfaces and learning different UIs for each system, some people are moving toward natural language as the interface - telling an AI what they want done, and it handles the task completion for them.  This shift is happening now, but there's been a missing piece: how does the AI actually connect to and control those systems?   MCP Defined MC....
CPU-based autoscaling is a lie for most web services. There, I said it. I spent a painful week last year watching an HPA scale our API pods from 3 to 15 based on CPU utilization. The dashboards looked great — CPU was being “managed.” Meanwhile, the service was falling over because every single one of those 15 pods was fighting over a connection pool limited to 50 database connections. More pods made the problem worse. We were autoscaling ..
Another entry in the Toy Optimizer series . It’s hard to get compiler optimizers right. Even if you build up a painstaking test suite by hand, you will likely miss corner cases, especially corner cases at the interactions of multiple components or multiple optimization passes. I wanted to see if I could write a fuzzer to catch some of these bugs automatically. But a fuzzer alone isn’t much use without some correctness oracle—in this c....
Time for a new Bending Emacs episode. This one is a follow-up to Episode 10 , where we introduced agent-shell . Bending Emacs Episode 12: agent-shell + Claude Skills This time around, we explore Claude Skills and how to use them to teach agents Emacs tricks. I built a handful of skills packaged as a Claude Code plugin at github.com/xenodium/emacs-skills . The skills use emacsclient --eval under the hood to bridge....
I’ve had this sense that HN has gotten absolutely innundated with bots last few months.

I quit my job at EnterpriseDB hacking on PostgreSQL products last month to start a company researching and writing about software infrastructure. I believe there is space for analysis that is more focused on code than TechCrunch or The Register, more open to covering corporate software development than LWN.net, and (as much as I love some of these folks) less biased than VCs writing about their own investments. I believe that more than ev....

Not used to not being able to delete a duplicate post in this the year of our lord 2026. Could you clear the other one away? Many thanks.

I’m afraid this article has found a colleague of mine who has interpreted it as ‘there is no reason to ever use UTC and every single datestamp in our new system should be stored as datetimeoffset’. I don’t hold that against you at all – your disclaimers are loud and clear. Just… wanted to let you know.
With Valve recently 1 revealing a new Steam Controller as part of their new hardware line-up, I thought I’d dust off my old Steam Controller and check it out a decade after its launch. If you already know about it and want to skip the faff, here’s what I think about it . From chair to couch In the 2010s Valve had an idea. While console gaming has been casually enjoyed from the comforts of the living room, PC gaming has always been....
Hello! We're very glad to inform you that six new 10 Gbit/s full duplex servers located in Manchester and London (UK) are available: Amansinaya, Arber, Baiduri (London), Bubup, Cebo, Caophraya (Manchester). The first three mentioned servers are located in London, the other ones in Manchester. This addition replaces any previous UK 1 Gbit/s server in order to upgrade the whole UK infrastructure to 10 Gbit/s only servers, with per server 10....

On this blog. I’ve talked about how pushy the Transgender Industrial Complex is about pushing transgender drugs and surgeries onto kids. Usually. they will tell parents that if they don’t agree with transing their kid. then the parents will be responsible for the self-ending of the child. “Would you rather have a dead daughter or … Continue reading Colorado bill would take kids away from parents who refuse to trans them →

A lot of “capture-the-flag” style ML puzzles give you a black box neural net, and your job is to figure out what it does. When we were thinking of creating our own ML puzzle early last year, we wanted to do something a little different. We thought it’d be neat to give users a complete specification of the neural net, weights and all. They would then be forced to use the tools of mechanistic interpretability to reverse engineer the network..

TL/DR; Play on itch.io or Plan or download from lexaloffle I previously wrote about making a game using pico-8 . Once done I more or less instantly wanted to make another one and started sketching out some ideas. Years ago I had watched a Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slDAvewWfrA about how Britain’s peak power demand spikes when the closing credits of a popular soap opera runs, since everyone gets up to make a cup..

As someone who doesn't really spend money on media or VPNs or a lot of stuff, I2P torrenting has been a massive step up from using streaming sites. Is this a something other people get a lot of use out of or is there another way to do stuff thats an even higher step up? Also have you guys seen the news about the upcoming (hopefully soon?) audio codec OAC and the video codec AV2? So far I've been getting pretty decent results out of AV1, mo....
Conspiracy Theory - lainchan.org - 4 months ago - eng
I have this theory and I want to know what Lainons think about this. After the ID verification being done on a hardware level through the firmware, which you will need a cryptographically signed ID to even boot, there will be several waves of "malware" going around, all targetting old devices, and the vulnerabilities thereof. They will ensure that old devices will be bricked, or at least unusable, so there is no way to make use of old ha....
