I have had the displeasure of integrating with a few different APIs over the past few weeks while working to automate Vori’s onboarding flow. These APIs have been for systems including contract rendering and e-signature collection, invoicing/billing systems, C…
I have a Dokku box in my lab that runs a pile of real things: side projects, a couple of databases, and the backups for all of it. It’s my own little Heroku, and it’s been great.

C for Rust Programmers
Interesting and unexpected details for Rust programmers learning the C programming language.
I bought my own TLD! (well not really)
TLD stands for top-level domain, but if you clicked this post, you already know that. To make this joke more accurate, I would need to say “I bought a second-level domain”, but the amount of people who know what a SLD…

Notes on the state of work in tech
Contrary to some of my prior writing, I’ve been having a grand ol’ time working with agents… mostly. Today’s world is the world in which my strangest ideas can be birthed, designed, prototyped, tested, and then thrown in the trash by the dozen, with little mor…
Can Decision Models Abstain?
Four local models, a hosted Jev reference, 18 customer messages, and one routing rule: leave the decision open when no action is clearly requested.
When code is cheap, judgement becomes the job
Software engineering has changed in the last 2 years. Here's how that looks without the fluff. Real company, big stakes, finite token budget
Computer programming is, fundamentally, about two things: Problem-solving using computers Learning to control complexity while solving these problems I have a hard time imagining a future where knowing how to …

Three attempts to prove that LLMs are not conscious: Claude's and Devin's independent drafts, the human conjecture both were prompted with, and a discussion of where they differ and fail.
Every significant software project I’ve worked on has, at some point, developed rules about its architecture. These have usually been expressed in the form of restrictions: this component cannot depend on that component, a certain dependency cannot be used in …
Every app you use was built by a company that optimized it for itself. On building software for one person, why it breaks, and why companies can't ship it.
An open speech recognition model that runs on the same CPU engine as Needle. It transcribes seven languages, reaches the first token in 11 ms, and loads beside Needle so one binary turns a clip straight into tool calls.

Everything is connected except the booking software
We run a high-volume rafting operation on our own system, with AI on top. The booking software is the one piece we can't connect. What we need from it.

Two ways to fake a browser: BitB and BitM
Browser-in-the-Browser paints a browser window inside the page. Browser-in-the-Middle streams a real one from the attacker's machine. Both aim at the one check users are taught to make. Here is what each looks like in Grizzly's data.
With the growing importance of LLM post-training, mastery of Reinforce has become arguably as central as techniques like attention. The algorithm is critical to producing models that reason, act, and discover.
I’ve been a reMarkable 2 user for a few years now. Bought on a whim, it has become an important part of my digital life, and I’ve recently jumped on its modding bandwagon.

My school has a controlled remote code execution environment to automatically grade the code we submit. The system checks execution, verifies proper formatting and surely has other checks not shown to the user (e.g. a code plagiarism detection tool1). The inte…

"Math 1.0" placed a premium on being the first to solve an open problem, even if the solution was not initially well understood. Now that this goal has been optimized to the point of unsustainability, "Math 2.0" will need to decenter the role of raw problem s…
