Sparse Cholesky Elimination TreeHere I derive the elimination tree for the (right-looking) sparse Cholesky algorithm for computing A = LL^T for lower triangular L and sparse matrices A .

Factor the pivot L [ k ][ k ] = sqrt ( A [ k ][ k ]); // 2.

for ( int j = k + 1 ; j < n ; ++ j ) { for ( int i = j ; i < n ; ++ i ) { // lower triangle only L [ i ][ j ] -= L [ i ][ k ] * L [ j ][ k ]; } } }The implied order and loop structure results in a task DAG.

void symbolic_cholesky ( int n , int ** A_row , int * A_row_len , int * parent , int * mark , vector_int * L_col ) { for ( int k = 0 ; k < n ; ++ k ) { mark [ k ] = - 1 ; vector_clear ( & L_col [ k ]); // Include the diagonal.

Blogpost Surfel-based global illumination on the web Can we use WebGPU to compute real-time global illumination with surface patches called surfels?

Global illumination from year 380,000 to year 400 million was easy peasy, finalColor = vec4(0,0,0,0).

We can shade 50k surfels effectively to get global illumination, even if the screen has 2 million pixels, caching that expensive work over time.

So the integrator does a mixture:with probability pGuide , sample from the guiding grid,, sample from the guiding grid, otherwise sample cosine hemisphere.

Dirty Frag is the informal name for a chained exploit that combines two Linux kernel vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500.

The root cause of CVE-2026-43284 lies in how the Linux kernel handles network packet memory in the IPsec/ESP path.

Both vulnerabilities turn long-lived in-place processing optimizations into deterministic root primitives: Copy Fail through userspace crypto, Dirty Frag through IPsec receive.

An interesting factor of Dirty Frag is that chaining the two sub-vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500) covers each other’s blind spots.

Most idiomatic code reads, runs, and behaves the same — but a non-trivial Clojure project will likely need some adjustments before it runs unmodified.

If you run a server with cPanel or WHM, you need to read this carefully.

On May 8, 2026 — just ten days after the cPanel CVE-2026-41940 authentication bypass was used to compromise 44,000 web hosting servers and deploy ransomware — cPanel quietly released a second emergency security patch.

This is the second Technical Security Release (TSR) in 10 days from cPanel.

Before diving into the vulnerabilities, a quick note for context: cPanel uses a standardized process called a Technical Security Release (TSR) when a security patch is ready.

The cPanel ransomware attack exposed over 44,000 servers.

I’ve banned query strings 🗓️ 2026-05-08 •I don’t like people adding tracking stuff to URLs.

Still less do I like people adding tracking stuff to my URLs.

So I’ve decided to try a blanket ban for this site: no unauthorised query strings.

At present I don’t use any query strings.

If I ever start using any query strings, I’ll allow only known parameters.

I mentioned earlier that I was not entirely convinced that adding a referral query string was a good thing to do.

So I implemented the referral query string feature anyway.

Later, with a little time to breathe and some hindsight, I could articulate why adding referral query strings to a working URL was such a bad idea.

Appending referral query strings to URLs bypasses those controls.

ConclusionIn the end, I decided to remove the referral query string feature from Wander Console.

We can draw a rectangle and get a rectangle with dimensions x x y with areas xy.

Second, suppose that [a] and [b] are being reused across two different multiplications, (x, y) and (x', y').

Then, we can see that d'-d = x'-x and e'-e = y'-y, revealing relationships between secret values x, x', y, y'.

These relationships contradict the fact that opening d, d', e, and e' shouldn't reveal anything meaningful about x, x', y, and y'.

Every frontier model in 2026 advertises a context window of at least a million tokens, but almost none of them are actually great at making use of all of that information.

At this point, a million tokens seems to be the maximum for the context window that the major frontier labs are offering.

Subquadratic is making this model available through an API — which will feature a 12-million-token context window — as well as a coding agent (SubQ Code) and a deep research tool (SubQ Search).

They keep most layers efficient and retain a few dense attention layers for retrieval.

The 50-million-token context window target is set for Q4.

GrapheneOS has released a new update that fixes a recently disclosed Android VPN bypass vulnerability capable of leaking a user’s real IP address.

The leak happens even when Android’s “Always-On VPN” and “Block connections without VPN” protections were enabled.

In its latest release, GrapheneOS says it has “disable[d] registerQuicConnectionClosePayload optimization to fix VPN leak,” effectively neutralizing the attack vector on supported Pixel devices.

Because system_server operates with elevated networking privileges and is exempt from VPN routing restrictions, the packet bypassed Android’s VPN lockdown protections entirely.

The researcher noted that stock Android users could temporarily m…

Posted on May 9, 2026When I finished reading Peter Naur’s Programming as Theory Building my first thought was “How come nobody ever told me to read this?” I ended up reading it multiple times, as I attempted to collect my thoughts on why it makes so much sense.

I think Naur’s “theory” is that term when it comes to writing good code and creating maintainable software.

In summary, Programming as Theory Building suggests that the program code, documentation and other products are secondary to what programming really is about: Building an understanding, or a mental model, of the program, its requirements, and how they relate to everything around it.

Thirty years ago, Brewster Kahle founded the Internet Archive with an ambitious goal: Universal Access to All Knowledge.

Today, that mission continues to grow with an exciting new chapter: the launch of the Internet Archive Switzerland, a non-profit foundation based in St. Gallen.

The Internet Archive Switzerland, online at https://internetarchive.ch/, is a newly-formed Swiss non-profit foundation that will operate independently within its national context.

Math as a SportThis is how math is portrayed in popular culture.

If math is a sport, using AI is the ultimate doping and there is no way to ban it.

When AI eats the sport, the public won’t see it as “one culture of math is dying” — they’ll see math itself is dying.

Math as an economic activityThis is how math is sold to funding agencies.

The problem: the thing that would save math from the AI disaster is often undervalued in math circles, and completely unintelligible to an outsider.

TLDR: the grossly overengineered, self-orchestrating team of vulnerability-hunting agents detailed below has discovered 20+ CVEs over the past few months, including CVE-2026-31432 and CVE-2026-31433: two remote, unauthenticated OOB writes in the Linux kernel’s ksmbd.

I’ve been a fan of security tokens for a decade now and have accrued quite a collection.

Laptops and smartphones all have built-in security tokens these days!

This post is about how I use security tokens, and how I configured my laptop’s secure element to replace my yubikey collection.

Fancier security tokens add a biometric flourish with a built-in fingerprint reader, but the real value is stopping attackers from making progress with purely remote access.

So when you buy a security token, you really commit to buying at least two security tokens unless you want to risk locking yourself out of your various accounts.

Single Leg Design - The Easy PartNaturally, after building a single joint, it only makes sense to design a single leg.

I also love the fact that most quads don’t use this design, making CARA super unique.

The total weight of the single leg was 1.47 kg (3.24 lbs).

One thing I wanted to investigate with CARA 2.0’s leg design was the upper-to-lower link ratio of the 5-bar linkage.

A question I often get asked is “how do you learn to derive IK equations?” While it may look difficult, it’s not.

“Oh my god.

Oh my god,” I yelled as I looked at my own face on someone else’s body.

It was all there: my five o’clock shadow, my goofy grin, even the bags under my eyes.

I was on a Microsoft Teams call interacting with this deepfake version of myself in realtime.

My deepfake pinched his cheek, covered his nose, and stroked his chin, all without the illusion breaking.

That friction is the reason I built Wiki Builder, a small open-source Claude Code plugin that takes the LLM-knowledge-base workflow and turns it into a one-command setup.

What Wiki Builder DoesWiki Builder is a skill you install once into Claude Code.

A wiki on agent memory looks different from a wiki on a single arXiv paper, and both look different from a knowledge base profiling a company.

Last week I used Wiki Builder to bootstrap the Agentic Engineering Wiki, a community-driven reference for developers building AI agents.

agents need control flow, not more prompts07 May, 2026Thesis: reliable agents tackling complex tasks need deterministic control flow encoded in software, not increasingly elaborate prompt chainsIf you’ve ever resorted to MANDATORY or DO NOT SKIP, you’ve hit the ceiling of prompting.

Imagine a programming language where statements are suggestions and functions return “Success” while hallucinating.

While useful for narrow tasks, prompts are non-deterministic, weakly specified, and difficult to verify.

We need deterministic scaffolds: explicit state transitions and validation checkpoints that treat the LLM as a component, not the system.

In a system prone to silent failure, an agent without ag…

If there is a fixed amount of useful work that needs doing, then if AI does more, humans must do less.

Here’s the thing, though: precedent (and intuition) shows that when the cost of a powerful input falls, the economy does not politely stand still.

With the caveat that it’s early (for better or for worse), the weight of the data does not support the doomer claim.

“While anxiety over the effects of AI on today’s labor market is widespread, our data suggests it remains largely speculative.

But, the AI job apocalypse story only works if you assume human wants and ideas suddenly freeze at the exact moment intelligence gets cheap.

Our method, Natural Language Autoencoders (NLAs), converts an activation into natural-language text we can read directly.

We make three copies of this language model:The target model is a frozen copy of the original language model that we extract activations from.

The NLA consists of the AV and AR, which, together, form a round trip: original activation → text explanation → reconstructed activation.

And more importantly, as we show in our paper, the text explanations become more informative as well.

More broadly, we are excited about NLAs as an example of a general class of techniques for producing human-readable text explanations of language model activations.

Two weeks ago we announced that we had identified and fixed an unprecedented number of latent security bugs in Firefox with the help of Claude Mythos Preview and other AI models.

Suddenly, the bugs are very goodJust a few months ago, AI-generated security bug reports to open source projects were mostly known for being unwanted slop.

The introduction of agentic harnesses that can reliably detect security issues has completely changed this.

In Firefox 150, there were three internal rollups: CVE-2026-6784 (154 bugs), CVE-2026-6785 (55 bugs), and CVE-2026-6786 (107 bugs).

We fixed a total of 423 security bugs in releases in April.

According to the Boston Globe, Fidelity is cutting about 1,000 jobs even as it plans to hire roughly 5,300 new workers, many of them early-career engineers. Half of the 3,300 new workers hired this year "will be in tech or product-related roles," the report says, noting that "about 2,000 of those jobs are currently open, and 400 of them are in tech/product-delivery."

One of the hard parts of moving from school to “the real world” is adjusting

to all the ways that school is artificial. It’s different from the real

world.I’ve been thinking about this because of questions I see young learners

commonly asking. Too often the questions are meaningless in the real world, and

even if you could get answers, the answers would use useless.How long does it take to learn Python? In school, learning is divided

into discrete labelled chunks. A class called “Beginning Python” might last four

months. Everyone in the class will be taught the same things at the same pace.

The objectives are laid out by the teacher, and at the end you will get a

grade.Outside of school, le…

Еще новинки самого лучшего в мире менеджера рецептов

Как вы помните (не помните, конечно), я делаю самый удобный и продвинутый менеджер рецептов — recipe-scaler.ru.

С момента прошлого поста прошла неделя. За это время я в фоне поделал еще пару классных штук. 1. Список покупок

Сейчас можно и список покупок вести в общей приложухе. Синхронизация, оффлайн — все будет работать как привычно. Можно пошарить ссылкой или текстом для месенджера. Можно весь рецепт отправить в покупки.

Ну не кайф ли? Плюс одно приложение внутри приложения. 2. Расширение для Хрома

I wrote a Sphinx extension to eliminate excessive links:

linklint. It started as a linter to check and modify

.rst files, but it grew into a Sphinx extension that works without changing the

source files.It all started with a topic in the discussion forums: Should

not underline links, which argued that the underlining was distracting from

the text. Of course we did not remove underlines, they are important for

accessibility and for seeing that there are links at all.But I agreed that there were places in the docs that had too many links. In

particular, there are two kinds of link that are excessive:

Human.json is a new

idea for asserting that a site is authored by a person, and for vouching for

other sites’ authorship. I’ve added one to this site.It’s a fun idea, and I’ve joined in, but to be honest, I have some concerns.

When I made my human.json file, I looked through my browser history, and saw a

number of sites that were clearly personal sites that I liked. But if I list

one, am I claiming to know that there is no AI content on that site? I can’t

know that for sure.I haven’t let this stop me from adding my own

/human.json, and I’ll be interested to see what

comes of it.Human.json isn’t a new idea. There have been a number of attempts to add

structured data to web pages:

Pytest’s parametrize is a great feature for writing tests without repeating

yourself needlessly. (If you haven’t seen it before, read

Starting with pytest’s parametrize first).

When the data gets complex, it can help to use functions to build the

data parameters.I’ve been working on a project

involving multi-line data, and the parameterized test data was getting

awkward to create and maintain. I created helper functions to make it nicer.

The actual project is a bit gnarly, so I’ll use a simpler example to

demonstrate.Here’s a function that takes a multi-line string and returns two numbers,

the lengths of the shortest and longest non-blank lines:def non_blanks(text: str) -> tuple[int, int]: …

presentations. Cog interpolates text from elsewhere, like source code or

execution output. Often I don’t want the full source file or all of the lines of

output. I want to be able to choose the lines, and sometimes I need to tweak the

lines with a regex to get the results I want.Long ago I wrote my own ad-hoc function to include a

file and over the years it had grown “organically”, to use a positive word. It

had become baroque and confusing. Worse, it still didn’t do all the things I

needed.The old function has 16 arg…

На пост меня натолкнула рабочая ситуация: Я написал (будем честны, попросил ллм написать) один скрипт, и некоторые коллеги прореагировали «о, давно о таком мечтаю». И у меня в голове щелкнуло.

Two testing-related things I found recently.Unified exception testingKacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception

testing, and linked to pytest docs and a

StackOverflow answer with similar approaches.The common way to test exceptions is to use

pytest.raises as a context manager, and have

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

AI might replace all of the jobs; that's only a problem if you think that humans will care, but if they care, they will create new jobs.

This morning I shared a link to this site, and the recipient said, “it looks

like a file.” I thought they meant the page was all black and white with no

color. No, they were talking about the URL, which ended with “.html”.This site started almost 24 years ago as

a static site: a pile of .html files created on my machine and uploaded to the

server. The URLs naturally had .html extensions. It was common in web sites of

the time.Over the years, the technology has changed. In 2008, it was still a static

site on the host, but produced with

Django running locally. In 2021, it became a

real Django site on the host.Through all these changes, the URLs remained the same—they still had

In my last blog post (A testing conundrum), I described

trying to test my Hasher class which hashes nested data. I couldn’t get

Hypothesis to generate usable data for my test. I wanted to assert that two

equal data items would hash equally, but Hypothesis was finding pairs like

[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the

hash takes the types into account.In the blog post I said,If I had a schema for the data I would be comparing, I could use it to

steer Hypothesis to generate realistic data. But I don’t have that

schema...I don’t want a fixed schema for the data Hasher would accept, but tests to

compare data generated from the same schema. It shouldn’t compare a list o…

Why does this exist?

I wanted an app that does the thing and gets out of the way.

Mumbli is stupid simple.

You can read all of it.

I also found Groq inference is decent and faster than 11Labs and OpenAI.

It represents claims as a graph with local consistency rules and checks whether the proposed structure can be made globally consistent.

The practical interface is simpler: given claims, a graph, or a proposed write, it returns SAFE or UNSAFE with the contradiction details and a receipt hash.

The interesting question is whether this belongs as a pre-commit / pre-output verifier for agent memory, not as a standalone database.

Repo:https://github.com/Jasonleonardvolk/sigma-guardI would be interested in feedback from people working on graph databases, GraphRAG, or agent memory.

Does a deterministic "verify before memory write / before agent output" layer make sense in your stack?
