Dear Seaford: I hope that on Remembrance Sunday that you took the time to remember those who gave their time, their health, both physical and mental, their family’s wellbeing, their potential descendants, and even their lives to preserving your freedom. If not, perhaps you will pause for two minutes on the eleventh. Since I’m in Canada, I will be participating in remembering when I wake up on Remembrance Day. I had hoped to do part of that ..

It must be the end of an era. For the first time in over seven years, I read no books to either my son or my daughter.

Two weeks ago, I announced a new Clojure ML library, Diamond ONNX RT , which integrates ONNX Runtime into Deep Diamond. In that post, we explored the classic Hello World example of Neural Networks, MNIST handwritten image recognition, step-by-step. We run that example on the CPU, from main memory. The next logical step is to execute this stuff on the GPU. You'll see that with a little help of ClojureCUDA and Deep Diamond built-in C....

Whenever i do something privacy/tech related I get really anxious. Anyone else have this issue? Just recently after setting up disk encryption I got very paranoid IRL, checking over my shoulder and whatnot. In this day and age privacy feels like a crime. Could just be me, IDK.

I’ve been using CI/CD pipelines for years now - GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, you name it. Like most developers, I treated them as configuration files that “just work.” You write a YAML file, push it, and somehow your code gets built, tested, and deployed. But I never really understood what was happening behind the scenes. That changed when I needed to set up CI/CD for an air-gapped environment at work - no access to GitHub Actions ....

I love these reflections on prayer from Pádraig Ó Tuama in his Poetry Unbound episode “Ernesto Cardenal – Give Ear To My Words”. I’ve enjoyed his podcast for some time now, and I don’t think I realised how much of a theologian he is – I have a lot of respect for the way he […]

When it comes to LED matrices, I’m sort of famous for not actually having a lab setup (see: posts tagged with RGBMatrixEmulator and RGBMatrixEmulator itself ) and prefer to emulate in software. However, this week, I got to play with a real Raspberry Pi again, and it wasn’t just the usual “flash an SD card, download some software, push some pixels”. I got to dig into the guts of Python, Cython, and how the two are connected after Pillow (....

I’ve started designing custom film cameras, and needed tools to understand what kind of tolerances and imperfections can I get away with when guessing focusing distances. And more importantly, what kind of image would a lens create, and how the field of view, depth of field, focal length and aperture would correspond across different film formats. I haven’t really found good tools online, so I created some myself. Hope they can help someone....

I thought this take from Bret Taylor about where we are in the AI rollout [1:30:13] was pretty good: "We are like in the 1997 era of making agents. I found this article for Siera summit about creating websites in 1997, and there was this Wired article [...], and it was basically about banks spending 23 million dollars to add transactional support to their website, like adding a login form basically. And then you fast forward to the la....

It took the whole night to download but it did finally download and I am now running Tahoe 26.1. So far most things seem to be working find, but somewhat worryingly the vpn app is behaving a bit strangely. I connects but none of the buttons in the interface work. The weird thing is that the issues started happening right before I installed the updates. After the OS update I updated the vpn app, but the issues persist. And people wonder wh..

Looks like the worldo breakages aren’t quite over yet. My MacBook Air M4 just kernel panic’d and crashed while I was using VScode pushing code. Gemini seems to think it’s something to do with low level hardware. This kernel panic was caused by an unexpected and unrecoverable error in the system's low-level hardware management software, likely concerning the Accessory Operating Processor (AOP) or a peripheral it controls (like the audio ..

I think I might have fixed the weird Github Actions workflow corruption thing . The fix is almost stranger than the original bug. I fixed it by adding an emoji to the workflow name. This is literally what I did, I'm not even joking. Is this the real world? #

Super interesting. What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling solar panels to farmers on payment plans. And it’s working. Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa The ongoing discussion on HN is also worth reading (minus the AI slop c..

We manage the build pipeline that delivers Quip and Slack Canvas’s backend. A year ago, we were chasing exciting ideas to help engineers ship better code, faster. But we had one huge problem: builds took 60 minutes. With a build that slow, the whole pipeline gets less agile, and feedback doesn’t come to engineers until…

I take pride in hosting my blog on a 13-year old ThinkPad acting as a home server , but sometimes it’s kind of a pain. It’s only fair that I cover the downsides of this setup in contrast to all the positives. Yesterday, I happened to notice that a connection to a backup endpoint was gone. Okay, happens sometimes. Then I went into the router and noticed that hey, that’s odd, there’s no WAN6 connection showing up. All gone. Just as if I ha....
