This is NOT the worst LLM you'll ever use
How fast is a horse? I was kinda baffled when I got the answer. For the average horse, one grazing in nature or on a ranch, they can go between 20 to 30 miles per hour. Doesn't that feel slow? What ab

In this video we learn how to implement Indirect Rendering in Vulkan. This implementation is based on Descriptor Indexing from the previous video. 🔥 See the list of the books that I'm using as background information for my tutorials: https://ogldev.org/books…
There’s this idea floating around that if you’re top 1% at anything, you’ll make money. It sounds nice but it’s not quite true. What is true: being exceptional creates options. It doesn’t guarantee…
ASI Is a Risk to Our Digital Way of Life, Not Human Survival
The current media narrative pushes AI advancement as potentially human civilization ending. However, it's much more likely that it is digital civilization ending.
AI companies are training models to disagree with users. But there's a difference between being helpful and being a pedantic contrarian.
Life's most important moments, the ones who shape us and determine our success or failure by our own definitions largely occur when individuals are under pressure and stress
Three months ago I would have dismissed claims that AI could replace developers. Today, after using Claude Opus 4.5, I believe AI coding agents can absolutely replace developers.

Wait, You Can Unpack That with Structured Bindings?? | JJ Marr
Most C++ devs know structured bindings from std::pair. But you can use them on plain structs, arrays, and more. Here's what you're missing.
In this post, I will derive entropy from first principles. This requires no more than a high school-level understanding of mathematics. This derivation is based on Shannon’s original seminal paper, A mathematical theory of communication. A derivation The condi…

As I sit here in Cyprus, having just moved to a new country for the fourth time in my adult life, I find myself thinking about who I was at 19 - a nerdy, scholarly girl in Germany reading Mises, Rothbard, Hayek. Until I was 17 or 18, I didn't

Improving the Flatpak Graphics Drivers Situation
Graphics drivers in Flatpak have been a bit of a pain point. The drivers have to be built against the runtime to work in the runtime. This usually isn’t much of an issue but it breaks down in two cases: If the driver depends on a specific kernel version If the…
