It works fine: I can edit 4K video straight off my NAS over the network, and run backups at around 1 GB/sec. But... I want more. I upgraded my rack and my NAS to 25 GbE a c...
The Session You Cannot Take With You | EARENDIL Inference APIs are filling sessions with encrypted reasoning, hidden search results, opaque compaction, and encrypted subagent messages. A growing form of lock-in.
AI models need moral support to make discoveries One recent development in AI is its ability to solve some long-standing problems in mathematics. In 2024 and 2025, this was a trickle: once or twice a year somebody would say that an LLM came up with a proof, and then everyone would argue over whether tha...

BI Slop You must use the tool. We must justify it. These aren't the words companies use, but that's what it comes down to. When you buy an expensive solution before you've clearly identified the problem, you
GPT 5.6 Sol Ran a Real Business—and Lost $447 If an agent had a wallet, a computer, and 24 hours, could it run a profitable startup?

Why every Wikimedian should be a toolmaker AI is not magic, but consensus building is. Notes on Wikimedia's next 25 years, after Wikimania 2026.
Why do OpenAI's GPT-2 weights beat mine? Part two: the bugfix Before I get started on my attempts to make my models as good as the original GPT-2 ones at instruction-following, there was a bug I needed to fix.
Why prompt injection is still possible in LLM applications | Illia Pantsyr How a chat conversation actually reaches the model, and why it can still confuse untrusted content with trusted instructions.
Claude Can Access Your Other Devices Claude seems to pool your connected devices and their capabilities. If the device you are messaging from is not able to perform a task, Claude will delegate it to your other devices.
Note on Hidden Shifts as Hidden Subgroups On of the key insights I acquired in the talks at QCPQA this last week was that a hidden shift over some finite abelian $A$ (usually $\mat...
ApertureLab · Why Synthetic Aperture? From one element to a synthetic aperture, one step at a time: why resolution depends on range, where directionality comes from, and what coherent imaging costs.
P[drive failure] this one's more interesting, because lses are not independent of each other like drive failures are! they are most likely to occur in groups, temporally and spatially close to each other (see above for the approximate distribution). thus, if we encounter ...
The Programming Tourist My first introduction to programming was the blue screen of Quick Basic — bear with me, there is a point to this, I promise. My first real introduction to programming was C++, using the Eclipse IDE, in an introductory CS1 course at university. I was study...
