Support for remote controlling Windows PCs may be added to Raspberry Pi Connect, Raspberry Pi's free remote access service.
When they announced Pi Connect in 2024, I speculated the service was launched in response to RealVNC's sluggish adoption of Wayland, lea…
OpenAI's ad platform has two halves. On the ChatGPT side, the backend injects structured single_advertiser_ad_unit objects into the conversation SSE stream while the model is responding. On the merchant side, a tracking SDK called OAIQ runs in the visitor's br…
Wired networking in the home and small offices has been pretty stagnant for ages, so upgrading my home from 2.5Gb ethernet to 10Gb meant I had to (re)learn a few things.
So I built local.vibe — a friendly dashboard and local .vibe hostname for every local web app on your Mac. No more localhost:3000 vs localhost:5173 roulette.

Software increasingly ships as prose meant to be interpreted by someone else's LLM. From Karpathy's wiki gist to gh skill install, even installation is now a paragraph. The same critique that pushes Karpathy beyond RAG hints at where the dust will eventually s…
1954, Hans Peter Luhn filed for a US patent on a Computer for Verifying Numbers. This is one of the earliest examples of using mathematical transformations to verify data integrity, a concept that became a foundation for modern hashes. Today you can find it un…
Productivity is what one can count. The decision not to deploy on Friday afternoon does not log. The engineer who prevents three outages closes no tickets that quarter. The one who ships forty-seven is promoted. The dashboard goes up. The system goes down. The…
