10 Years of Let's Encrypt Certificates On September 14, 2015, our first publicly-trusted certificate went live. We were proud that we had issued a certificate that a significant majority of clients could accept, and had done it using automated software. Of course, in retrospect this was just t...
Keeping a Docker Container Open in Docker Compose | no dogma blog It is not immediately obvious how to keep a Docker container running when using Docker Compose. Here is a simple way to do it.

The New Cross Platform C# IDE is INSANE Get 30% off Dometrain with code CHRISTMAS30: https://dometrain.com/?ref=nick-chapsas&promo=youtube&coupon_code=CHRISTMAS30 Hello, everybody. I'm Nick, and in this video, I want to show you a brand-new, open-source, cross-platform IDE called SharpIDE. Gi...
The Universal Weight Subspace Hypothesis We show that deep neural networks trained across diverse tasks exhibit remarkably similar low-dimensional parametric subspaces. We provide the first large-scale empirical evidence that demonstrates that neural networks systematically converge to shared sp...
Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? Agentic coding tools are dramatically reducing software development costs. Here's why 2026 is going to catch a lot of people off guard.
Is Vibe Coding Safe? Benchmarking Vulnerability of Agent-Generated Code in Real-World Tasks Vibe coding is a new programming paradigm in which human engineers instruct large language model (LLM) agents to complete complex coding tasks with little supervision. Although it is increasingly adopted, are vibe coding outputs really safe to deploy in p...

PostgreSQL and MongoDB: What Scaling Really Looks Like How PostgreSQL scales in real-world systems, compared with MongoDB, and why true scalability depends on design and workloads, not headlines.
They have to be able to talk about us without us - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.
Satisficing for LLMs By applying Herbert Simon’s concept of satisficing to AI, this post argues that language models might prefer logical‐sounding content over emotional appeals, mirroring human biases but inverted. It unveils a paradox: humans use emotion to decide rationall...
The secure open source fallacy Most open source advocates, and many security professionals, often say things like “open source software is secure because you can just read the code”. This argument assumes that the ability to read source code directly translates into the ability to unde...
Jepsen: NATS 2.12.1 NATS is a distributed streaming system. Regular NATS streams offer only best-effort delivery, but a subsystem, called JetStream, guarantees messages are delivered at least once. We tested NATS JetStream, version 2.12.1, and found that it lost writes if da...
Multibase CLI I recently pushed a few patches to the multiformats/rust-multibase project to scratch my own itch, and I thought they would be useful to talk about. In short, these changes do the following:
llm weights vs the papercuts of corporate In woodworking, there's a saying that you should work with the grain, not against the grain and I've been thinking about how this concept may apply to large language models. These large language models are built by training on existing data. This data fo...
Deep Dive into NVIDIA's Virtuous Cycle I’ve spent the last 48 hours completely falling down the rabbit hole of NVIDIA’s Q3 Fiscal 2026 earnings report. If you just skim the headlines, everything looks perfect: Revenue is up 62% to $57 billion, and Jensen Huang is talking about a "virtuous cycl...

Words That Make Language Models Perceive A simple cue like asking the model to 'see' or 'hear' can push a purely text-trained language model towards the representations of purely image-trained or purely-audio trained encoders.
