Oracle has banned AI-generated code from OpenJDK contributions, citing safety, security, and intellectual property risks. The open-source Java project steward said developers can use LLMs privately for debugging and reviewing code but cannot submit AI-generate…
Shortly after Apple launched the budget MacBook Neo, Dell announced their response, a new low-end XPS 13.
Matching the Neo's current pricing, it starts at $699, or $599 with an educational discount. That discount is currently set to expire on November 2, and w…
Imagine you’re the guest on some kind of frenetic, software-engineering-themed game show. The host is constantly flipping over new cards with questions that you have to answer as fast as possible:
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Quake, we have collaborated with MachineGames to create a new episode, Dawn of the Machine, now available as a free update to Quake.
So, these AI models have been pretty good at finding bugs and exploits in all sorts of code. Not only that, they’ve managed to prove quite a bit of maths, from insignificant to quite significant. Maybe one might doubt the significance of those findings, but fo…
Cookie law turned consent into a ceremony instead of a choice. AI policy risks repeating the mistake if disclosure becomes its main measure of human agency.
In eight years of living in China, taxi drivers or older colleagues loved to ask, “Which is better, the Netherlands or China?”, hoping for a single insightful answer that would explain everything. And now, back as a resident in the Netherlands, people ask the …
A practical guide to hosting a home LAN party in 2026. Covers networking, power, seating, game selection, file sharing, and food for groups of 5 to 32 players.
Thirty-two local model runs over the same 1,001 notes, with every ordering claim tested. Six consecutive steps down the leaderboard are noise, the top two cannot be told apart, and the column that decides the choice is not the score.
In this chunk I’m going to document a little OpenCode1 setup that uses multiple (well, two in this case but your plan is your limit) LLMs to review a GitHub pull request.
It’s a simple exercise in fusing multiple different models to perform a task and can be c…
How to design MCP tools that agents actually use well. Tool count, parameter naming, enums over booleans, context hygiene, and what the 2026-07-28 spec changes for tool definitions.
I'm building a software factory that turns planned GitHub issues into merged code, so my side project time goes to planning instead of writing the code myself.
August 10, 2026 The breakthrough at the Pell Institute for the Physics of Experience came from inverting the oldest assumption in science. For four centuries ph
