So I’ve been working on this project called client-w-mcp – it’s a leanring project to truly understand how an AI agent works with MCP servers. And I’m exploring Agentic development - with Claude Code. Why Claude Code? The first time I used it, Claude just… flowed. It seems to do a lot more by itself to figure things out. I especially like the Task() so that it can go do more than one thing at a time.

Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong–and What You Really Need to Know . By Emily Oster. 328 pages. When Emily Oster found out she was pregnant, she immediately began researching the best ways to take care of her child in utero. On the internet, there are a lot of opinions and not a lot of data, even among the medical community. For example, she wanted a cup of coffee but didn’t know if it would affect her baby.....

It was time to upgrade Hibernate on that one Java monolithic 1 backend service that my team was responsible for. We took great precautions with these types of changes due to the scale of the system, splitting changes into as many small parts as possible and releasing them as often as possible. With bigger changes we opted for running a few instances of the new version in parallel to the existing one. Then came Hibernate 5.2. Hibernat....

When comparing REST and GraphQL, it’s not just about payload size, flexibility, or tooling. The real distinction is in how you design your API. REST is centered around resources, with endpoints like createUserGroup or getUserProfile. GraphQL shifts the focus to capabilities, encouraging more semantically rich mutations like groupJoin, which are disconnected from the underlying datastore and instead represent meaningful actions within your..

Originally published in 2019, this article is part two of a three-part series exploring Go’s garbage collector. Though the Go runtime has continued to evolve, the performance principles covered here remain highly relevant today. This installment focuses on practical techniques for analyzing and reducing garbage collection (GC) overhead in real-world Go applications. It walks through how to interpret GC traces using GODEBUG=gctrace=1 and unc..

On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law. Viz., to make a sufficiently complicated data system containing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a bitemporal database. Because? Because laying about on a hammock, contemplating hopelessly complected objects like Current Databases isn't just for the Ri..

Prime Day just happened, so I wanted to grab the Chase Amazon Prime Visa while the bonus was higher than normal.

If I had the budget/compute power and time to research anything at the moment, this is what I would try researching. It’ll make sense in a bit, I swear. The Problem Training robotic policies to perform complex tasks is incredibly difficult. We have some success with generalist policies and existing reinforcement learning research, but they typically have limits on what they can accomplish. The Routing Agent Architecture A common patte..

I’ve finished reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell . I always felt that this must be a very boring read, but the recent rise of trumpism, MAGA, dark enlightenment and all these dystopian things finally made me pick it up. 5/5, highly recommended. Not boring at all. It paints a picture of a totalitarian regime that utilizes new speak , surveillance and propaganda to control the population. Written with Stalinist USSR and Nazi Ge..

Janet Jackson might not be the first person who comes to mind when you think of a hacker. But she inadvertently created a malicious payload that performed a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on many different hard drive models manufactured in 2005 and later that rotated at a speed of 5400 rpm (rotations per minute). How did it work? If your computer had a 5400 rpm hard drive, all you had to do was play Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation musi..

Recent advances in Knowledge Distillation (KD) aim to mitigate the high computational demands of Large Language Models (LLMs) by transferring knowledge from a large “teacher” to a smaller “student” model. However, students may inherit the teacher’s privacy when the teacher is trained on private data. In this work, we systematically characterize and investigate membership and memorization privacy risks inherent in six LLM KD techniques. Usin..

Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) on pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) aim at determining if a data point was part of the model’s training set. Prior MIAs that are built for classification models fail at LLMs, due to ignoring the generative nature of LLMs across token sequences. In this paper, we present a novel attack on pre-trained LLMs that adapts MIA statistical tests to the perplexity dynamics of subsequences within a data poin..

Cautious predictions — where a machine learning model abstains when uncertain — are crucial for limiting harmful errors in safety-critical applications. In this work, we identify a novel threat: a dishonest institution can exploit these mechanisms to discriminate or unjustly deny services under the guise of uncertainty. We demonstrate the practicality of this threat by introducing an uncertainty-inducing attack called Mirage, which delibera..

I really hate it when I’m exposed to some horrible news online, and feel powerless. There is nothing I can do, I am not responsible, and yet at the same time I have this feeling “this shouldn’t be happening”. There is a temptation to immediately react – if it was printed, I would crumple up the paper and throw it away – yet, reading pixels on the screen I don’t have the right gesture to express my discontent. So I made this little brow..

It's funny I just realised I was so heads down in programming yesterday that I forgot to write any notes, and so that's why yesterday looked a bit strange with only links. Just like the good old days of linkbloging . A lot of those links are probably dead by now. Just a quick note written in Termux on my mobile device while I listen to the latest All-In pod , having my breakfast. It's all about robots and AI supercomputers. Kind of cr..


Apenwarr with a healthy reminder that me and my coworkers are already rich, even if we don’t feel rich. And people who are richer don’t feel rich either: We all talk a lot about how the “top 1%” are screwing up society, but software developers nowadays fall mostly in the top 1-2% of income earners […]

Drew Breunig has great technical posts about utilising AI, but this commentary on how it first breaks – and then promises to fix – sales and hiring processes stands out. Is there a fix for all of this? Will it normalize? I don’t know. I do know that both the examples above have created a […]

John Bridges is a software engineer that co-developed PCPaint, which in 1984 was one of the earliest digital painting programs and helped spur the use of mice within the IBM PC market. He supported the growing number of PC video developers by freely releasing the VGAKIT and TGA utilities, tools that helped developers understand and compensate for the many hardware and software quirks of the era.

This post is part of the GenAI Series. Back-to-back GenAI-related posts, but I could not resist writing this post instead of a trading-related one. A few days ago, I built a small tool that lets you input an Amazon ASIN and instantly generate marketing copy, including Facebook ads, Amazon A+ content, and SEO product descriptions by using Gemini. The frontend is built with Bootstrap + jQuery, and the backend runs on Python Flask. While this ....

How does the performance of an algorithm hold up when you put it into a realistic context? Where might Python code defy Big O notation expectations when using a profiler? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.





The key principle I follow is this: how I take my notes will evolve over time . I do not stick to any system too dogmatically. That said, I’ve settled on a system that’s been fairly robust and stable for the past few years. I have tweaked it here and there to make it easier for me to find what I need.
