I mass-deleted requirements.txt files from a monorepo last month. Fourteen of them. Some had unpinned dependencies, some had pins from 2021, one had a comment that said # TODO: fix this next to a package that no longer exists on PyPI. Nobody cried. The CI pipeline didn’t break. We’d already moved everything to pyproject.toml and uv. Python packaging has been a punchline for years. “It’s 2024 and we still can’t install packages properly” w..

GoAccess is an open-source log analyzer and interactive viewer for the terminal or the browser. I like to use it to see the traffic to nginx. Install $ sudo apt install goaccess View nginx traffic For a live view of the traffic at the terminal: $ goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log --log-format=COMBINED Generate a interactive HTML file and view it from the browser at yourdomain.com/stats.html: $ sudo goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.l..

Nginx is a popular web server for Linux. Install $ sudo apt install nginx Configuration /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: This file has the configuration options for nginx server itself. For settings specific to a website, look at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory. /etc/nginx/sites-available/: This is the directory where we can store all the website configuration files. Note that the files in this directory are not read by nginx - it is ....

Today I’m very happy to share that Mario Zechner is joining Earendil . First things first: I think you should read Mario’s post . This is his news more than it is ours, and he tells his side of it better than I could. What I want to do here is add a more personal note about why this matters so much to me, how the last months led us here, and why I am so excited to have him on board. Last year changed the way many of us thought about....

Yesterday, I wrote about the Lethal Trifecta when using coding agents and how I am escaping it via sandboxing. I built a place to code where there is nothing valuable to lose. The agents might be poisoned by prompt injection and able to phone home, but there’s nothing to send. I can wipe the entire […]

I find myself unreasonably excited for the work that Taalas is doing. They’re turning open weight models directly into ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) so that the chip essentially acts as the model - and only as the model. You get raw transistor switching speed within the model. Not only does this result in incredibly fast computation (~15k tokens a second for llama 8b!) but you are doing so at ridiculously low power ..

About ten years ago I sat down in front of a camera and recorded eleven videos showing how I play mandolin for contra dances . I've now done something similar with piano, this time with thirteen videos. This is not a high quality effort: I didn't write any scripts or even plan what I was going to say. Think of it as if we spent half an hour together, with me showing you how I play. Also keep in mind that I'm self taught, and my parti....

It does the trick for simple things, but it all falls apart the moment the object actually starts to move or interact with anything.
