Outside the Scope of Our Support — fireborn
A few days ago I wrote about reporting a bug to Google Disability Support. It's a bug that kills touch exploration for every screen reader on Android until you reboot the phone. In return I was asked to turn TalkBack off and on again, clear the cache of an app…

Linus Torvalds has released the 7.3 kernel, as expected. It's Sunday afternoon, and this wee [...]
Hybrid Reasoning Agents
How can we build an agent that thinks beyond human language, yet still acts through it in the external environment? Modern LLM agents still reason and interact through text, while latent reasoning offers an efficient internal medium but lacks native tool acces…
We have personalized software now
The hardest part about going to Disney World is waiting in lines, especially when you're under ten years old and each minute feels like forever. When I was at Disney World recently, I saw lots of parents passing the time with their kids by playing…
If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how the fuck do you even know whats going on?
I think the title captures the idea fully but I'll dig into it because this ain't Twitter. You're working an idea, a piece of code, or a multibillion a year SaaS app which is probably saving the world. Maybe you're automating the cloning process of grabbing
What the heck is /pkg?
Recently, while troubleshooting a PATH issue, I noticed an entry for /pkg/env/global/bin. At first, I worried that something had gone horribly wrong. Turns out, this is part of macOS 27.0… though no one is sure what it’s for yet.

SPA vs. Hypermedia: A Collaborative Kanban Board Measured Against PLANKA

Woodworking Tools and Knowledge Tools — peterkaminski.ai
A meditation on how knowledge tools evolved from stone tools to agentic AI, told through the lens of woodworking.
What an adult ADHD diagnosis taught me
For most of my life I called it laziness. A late ADHD diagnosis didn't fix my brain, but it changed how I talk to myself on bad days.
Who pays for Clang
Clang's funders have changed since 2010: Apple and Google, which wrote most of it until the mid-2010s, now write a small share, and GPU and accelerator vendors, Red Hat, and new sponsors of C++ conformance work write more. This post counts commits, pull-reques…
Staying off the hot path
Why simple ideas go untested: we all follow the same “hot path” and assume someone else already checked the obvious.
