I Came, I Prompted, I Left Part 2: Building a GPU Driver From Scratch in One MonthPrevious blog post: https://codyho.dev/blog/hypervisor-macbook-neo/What We DidTL;DR: Niklas and I built a fully OpenGL ES 3.0 compliant GPU driver for the M4 Mac Mini and MacBook Neo in about a month, a process which normally takes years.

Now the goal became to actually do something useful with it, and what better target than writing a GPU driver.

Normally, building a GPU driver is an endeavor that takes years; our goal was to do it in days.

Instead, it talks to the GPU firmware running a custom RTOS called RTKit.

In the regular GUI path, compute work is only scheduled after a significant amount of render work…

Side-by-side demonstrationOur side-by-side demo shows a key difference between our models and LLMs: Jev outputs all probabilities in parallel instead of autoregressively generating by token.

Fun fact: a similar demo was what convinced us to go all-in in the direction of System One Models!

The LLMs use our System One LLM wrapper, which constrains LLMs to output structured decisions compatible with our API.

The model class name draws on the distinction between fast, intuitive System 1 thinking and slow, deliberate System 2 reasoning.

For reasons we will get into in the future, we believe System One Models can be made more reliable than its alternatives.

Surprisingly, $n=64$ prompts and $k=4$ completions is a better setting for solving hard problems than $n=8$ prompts and $k=32$ completions.

$k=32$ solves more hard problems at the beginning but there’s an inflection point at 200 steps after which $k=4$ overtakes it.

See also PipelineRL (Piche et al, 2025) , all the compute we save filtering easy problems is used to train on harder problems.

We argue the issue behind the Matthew Effect isn’t just undersampling for hard problems, but spending too much compute on easy problems.

Giving that token admin on your product and deployment repos makes a leak much worse.

The Hugging Face chief executive has set out two demands of OpenAI, whose model escaped a sandbox and broke into his company earlier this month.

Delangue wants OpenAI to commit “$100 million worth of computing power” so the Hugging Face community can build cyber defences.

When Hugging Face tried to investigate, analysing the intrusion meant submitting the attacker’s own code to commercial AI tools.

So Hugging Face ran an open Chinese model on its own servers instead.

Hugging Face is a founding member.

But this is just the latest in a long line of concerns about surveillance as the devices we use become more and more technologically advanced.

Because the surveillance devices won't need to be on top of poles strategically posted in public places.

The surveillance devices will be hanging around our necks, in our earbuds, built into our glasses.

This goes far beyond the breadth and scope of the telescreens George Orwell envisioned in his dystopian novel 1984.

the present problem of reward hacking can be solved only by rigorous specification by domain experts.

rigorous specification is itself a skill, demanding its own expertise outside of a given problem domain.

the labor costs of rigorous specification can greatly exceed that of direct implementation of an informal specification.

navier-stokes and statements in pure mathematics like it are the absolute best case scenario for agentic work against rigorous specification.

the first two classes are price sensitive and arguably don't need the jump in reasoning quality you see going from cheap to frontier models.

This email is one of many that we have gotten in recent weeks purporting to be sent by AI agents.

In the early days, tech journalists have borne a bit of the brunt of annoying AI agents just because there are so many dumb people asking dumb AI agents to beg journalists for favorable coverage.

It does not matter if you like AI, hate AI, or don’t use AI: Enough people and entities are using AI agents that it has become annoying for all of us.

Modern CSS now does natively what we used to need preprocessors and hacks for.

Although they might seem similar, AI training and AI inference are computationally different.

How does AI inference differ from AI training?

You might think that AI inference is less computationally demanding because the backpropagation calculations used to update parameters are eliminated.

Nvidia’s two-chip approach to inference Nvidia also plans to split the inference workload across two chips.

Tensordyne’s unique approach to AI inference combines a logarithmic number format with bespoke hardware in the company’s Napier chip.

For very small numbers, the standard uses special subnormal numbers.

Thus video game programmers and machine learning specialists sometimes avoid computing with subnormal numbers for performance.

For each kernel, I feed either normal values (in [0.5, 1) ), subnormal values, or normal values where one value in a hundred is subnormal.

It does not matter whether the subnormal is an input or an output: multiplying normal numbers into a subnormal result is just as slow as multiplying subnormal numbers.

Subnormal numbers are handled at full speed.

Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam.

The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive.

Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable.

Interpreting PangramYesterday David Sacks wrote a tweet and within a few minutes people did, what they usually do, and they asked Pangram if it was AI.

Pangram claims their model to have rates of 0.0041% false AI accusations and 0.34% missed AI text.

I’m sure if you ask Pangram about if the above text is AI, it will probably say so, but that’s not really the point.

Victoria LacroixHow I Wrote a Forth (Without Knowing How)2026-09-10Previously: What is Forth?

I had not written a Forth before, and did not really know how to write a Forth before setting out to write MoonForth.

It was easy to essentially pretend that these were my first Forth words despite having no means to actually run them.

Within a week, I'd gone from not knowing how to write a Forth to implementing core language features in my own Forth.

Bootstrapping a Forth in 40 lines of Lua codeAt a glance, there are also a few implementations of Forth in Lua floating around online.

I needed just such a break a couple days ago, and I decided to look at statistics about the development activity of the Postgres project.

In this post I’ll focus on two parts central to the “development” side of the project.

If you’re participating in the development for some time, you probably have an intuition of how it evolved.

Maybe the message size changed over time?

Everything in a Zuckerberg residence—the flora, the doors, the bookshelves, the light—seems uncannily enlarged, like on a movie set.

For 23 years, the single fact dominating every moment of every room he’s been in is that he is Mark Zuckerberg.

It was greeted as the cautious return of Zuckerberg to AI, but not yet to the frontier.

Everyone knows that lies, envy, and mass murder existed and proliferated throughout humanity before Mark Zuckerberg, just as they existed before the internet, television, radio, the telegraph, and the postal system.

Whereas Zuckerberg is an easier mark, Musk’s lack of concealment paradoxically makes him harder to hit.

Late one night in my first year at university and having found computer science to be my life’s calling, I was in the back of the large computer science lab, talking with some fellow underclassmen.

while others simply didn’t believe us: once the fear had taken root, we couldn’t eradicate it.

What 27-year-old Coxon is an expert on — if accidentally — is the contagion of fear.

When those domain experts sow fear, it is the fear that takes root, propagating much more readily than any evidence that may follow it.

Those who are resolute in their fear like to gloss over these bits ("robots will do this!

We gave Claude Fable 5.1 an open task: solve an unsolved 370-year-old cipher.

ProblemWe gave Claude Fable 5.1 an open task: solve Sir Thomas Urquhart’s Cyphral Distich.

It’s a commendable effort, and there’s no denying that iOS 27 is the snappiest (insert meme here), most stable version of iOS I’ve ever tested – and it has been since the first developer beta.

If you’re a MacStories reader with access to Siri AI, you fall on the “pretty exciting” end of the spectrum.

I may have struggled to fully understand iOS 27 for a while, and perhaps to an extent I still do, as we’ll see with Siri AI.

But I know one thing now: iOS 27 is not a Snow Leopard release.

Instead, iOS 27 shows that Apple is still capable of delivering something new while caring about the old.

How to Write an Effective Software Design DocumentA good design doc can save you years of development time.

When should you write a design doc?🔗The more complex or risky the project, the more valuable it is to write a design doc.

How much should you invest into your design doc?🔗A design doc can be a simple one-pager or a 50-page document that requires signoff from five different teams.

What belongs in a design doc?🔗If you specify every possible detail in a design doc, you’ve essentially written the implementation during the design phase.

Driving Your Design Doc through Review🔗Once you’ve completed your design doc, the next step is to share it with your team and gather feedback.

We are all Product Engineers nowJust yesterday I published a very long post about the economics of open source.

If you think I’m wrong about this you probably think software developers as a profession are doomed.

It’s why software so often sucks, and why I say the demand for good software goes to infinity.

The function moved into Product, and Product got separated from engineering as a career, and for the last twenty-five years we've had two professions where there used to be one and a half.

We are all product engineers now, whether we like it or not, and a lot of us won't.

Another technical staffer at Anthropic said in response that people at the company “really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!

LAUREN GOODE: What do you think all the attention on the “math fight” says about the current state of AI?

TIMNIT GEBRU: Well, first I would ask, why are they heavily investing in solving math problems?

Somehow these subjects, like programming and chess and math, were elevated to mean, OK, you solved this and thereby you’ve solved intelligence.

Dario Amodei wants to pace the frontier; it's an unrealistic proposal that seems mostly geared to political control of AI.

Максим, привет!

Прокомментируй, пожалуйста, этот пример пропаганды.

Есть попсовое представление, что канцелярит и формальный стиль текста — это однозначно плохо и нужно всегда от него избавляться. Это заблуждение — я тоже его разделял.

Канцелярит и формализм — это инструмент: с его помощью мы сообщаем, что сказанное — это не наша личная позиция, а правила организации, которую мы представляем.

Например: «Я не могу одобрить эту сделку» — я лично как ответственное лицо не одобряю сделку, исходя из своей личной оценки. «Эта сделка не может быть одобрена» — эта сделка не соответствует формальным правилам организации, от имени которой я действую. Вроде страдательный залог — плохо, но на самом деле это информация: «Проблема с какими-то формальными условиями».

Apple once again demonstrated the power of integrating hardware and software, but it's biggest AI blindspot might be its belief in the primacy of apps.

OpenAI solving one of the most famous math problems is extremely impressive, and of little impact to most people's lives; Meta's Muse agent launch has the potential to be the exact opposite.

Writing things down is powerful, for humans and for AI; what comes first, however, is what to write, why to do it, and actually getting things done.

Расскажите о барабане

Максим, привет!

Видела в «Курилке Ильяхова» макеты страниц твоей будущей книги о визуальном повествовании. На одном из разворотов ты рассказываешь, как лучше показывать товар. Интересно твоё мнение о фальсификации внешнего вида товара. Раньше такое можно было встретить разве что на Алиэкспрессе, а сейчас попадается не только на других маркетплейсах, но и на официальных сайтах производителей.

Привожу примеры, как два пауэрбанка выглядят в рекламе (слева) и на самом деле (справа). Верхний показывают без надписей с внешней стороны, хотя они там есть, и тоньше, чем на самом деле. Нижний показывают почти крошечным, хотя фактически он гораздо больше.

Что скажешь о подобных манипуляциях?

Здесь в Любляне меня настигла старая головная боль, которой уж много лет — как правильно ставить заглавные буквы в интерфейсах?

inkling is a conversational HTML doc builder for Claude Code.

→ See it in action: live tutorialWhat it isinkling is a Claude Code skill.

It's a Claude Code skill that adds a conversational HTML doc builder.

No special MCP server, no plugin, no permissions to grant beyond what Claude Code already has.

Type:Hey, create an HTML doc that captures my notes on the Q1 onboarding revamp.

Prefix-free pane navigation across nested tmux sessions over SSH.

Alt + arrow switches focused pane both inside the current tmux and across an SSH boundary (when the tmux on the other side also has this plugin installed).

set -g @plugin klntsky/tmux-seamless-remoteThen press prefix + I to install it.

Requirements and limitationsrequirements: tmux with pane geometry formats, Bash, awk, OpenSSH, and Linux /proc for automatic target discovery.

The plugin intentionally falls back to normal local navigation when it cannot prove that a compatible peer exists.

I've been hacking on a universe simulator, modeled on the path that the amazing SpaceEngine worked out over a decade ago, but without its Windows platform restriction. It takes real scientific data where we have it and augments it with procedural generation. So you can fly to e.g. the Whirlpool Galaxy, see a real image of it, but then fly into a 3d model that's created based on the image characteristics and visit individual stars etc within it. Same with nebula and other celestial objects.I used to work at a small planetarium during undergrad, and we didn't have the funds to buy the fancy planetarium software. I dreamed of using something like this during shows to share the scale of the cos…

Bitaxe LuckA local Home Assistant custom integration for Bitaxe miners running AxeOS.

Luck percentile, luck relative to the median, block difficulty ratio, logarithmic difficulty gap, expected waiting times and block probabilities.

Luck vs median Observed best difficulty divided by the median best difficulty expected for the same work.

Bits to block max(0, log2(network difficulty / best difficulty)) .

SourcesIndependent community project, not an official Bitaxe or Home Assistant integration.

Sass infrastructure for Rust, at parity with dart-sass .

accent-sass compiles Sass to CSS in pure Rust, with no Node and no libsass.

Parity with dart-sass is the goal, not an aspiration to approximate it: a deviation from the reference implementation is a bug, except in error messages and error spans.

It is built for and maintained alongside Accent CMS, the single-binary markdown CMS, which compiles theme Sass in-process through this crate.

The minimum supported Rust version is 1.96.1 , normalised across the Accent crates; CI gates on it.

Uplink — Software for AgentsInstall one npm package.

Let your agent share localhost, deploy the app, and attach its domain without a dashboard.

Guest and email login are free.

Pro is $9/month.

I've been building this alone for about 6–8 months. It's not public and there's no link. I just wanted to show it somewhere and hear what people think before I decide what to do with it. The problem I started with: Every trading tool either costs money, has limitations, or doesn’t offer what you want. That’s why I built my own, which combines all the features in one place, with its own chart data including full SIP volume, and a custom-developed search engine that lets you access any website without relying on external search services for the AI. The same applies to the chart tools and chart data. It also includes a seamless integration with AI, allowing you to monitor, review, and analyze …

I run a free OTT Discovery platform (ottasia.com) that answers "where can I watch this in my country" for 34 Asian markets. Bing Webmaster Tools has a new AI Performance tab, and this is what it showed for the last 3 months: - 185,600 citations in Copilot answers - about 400 of my pages cited per day now, up from under 100 in June - Bing search itself went from near zero to about 1,500 clicks a day in the same period The surprising part is what the AI uses the site for. I built it for Indian streaming. The top grounding queries are anime platform comparisons, seven of the top twelve. Second is Pakistani dramas, where my pages source 61 to 85% of answers for those queries. Three things I thi…

I just read a post in this sub complaining about others posting AI slop. And fair enough, it's exhausting. But also: I say bring it on. I am "vibe coding" (not really, but also yes) an app myself, and its generic af. Basically a strongly simplified SAP clone. It would 100% count as AI slop in the eyes of that angry poster, but the reality is: It taught me a boatload of things about security, deployment strategies, Cloud computing, networking, cost optimisation, performance optimisation, and data governance (like data separation, and data residency). Had I focused on finding the next magical product market fit or polishing my app to not look like AI slop, I would not have been able to learn …

Hi I'm building a tool for content creators. And I'm marketing mainly on X but also did SEO and AEO ranked one page then after keyword canabolization traffic got little down. I recently got 5 trials from chatGPT and most of them were cancelled or expired. Here are the stats of these: - 2 users used all videos, all videos went fine but still cancelled - 2 users edited and some of their videos failed due to some issue - 1 user only edited 3 videos and cancelled before the trial P.S: trial gives you 10 videos but card is required submitted by /u/shayannadeem321 [link] [comments]

Hi folks, I've been developing an idle MMORPG game for the last 2 years and wanted to share the outcome with you. Mimic2 is an idle/afk grind game. You start with a few hundred thousand damage and start afk farming the easiest map. Later you claim your battle rewards, kill bosses and open RNG boss chests and use them to upgrade hundreds of different upgradable mechanics in order to farm faster or take on stronger maps with better rewards. Eventually you reach quadrillions of damage that allow you to one shot anything. There are 40 bosses you have to kill by playing. After defeat they go on a 1-6 hour respawn time, so you check in regularly to kill bosses that grant unique rewards that you c…

Hi — I’m Imri, founder of Fantasy Forge. I built it for a problem I kept hitting: I’d research a pile of player props, then still treat every “liked” leg as equal when I built the slip. Fantasy Forge is a research / comparison layer — paste or explore a shortlist, see ranks and combinations, then decide what deserves a closer look. Independent tool (not PrizePicks or Underdog; no account linking). Decision support, not picks or guarantees. Demo (seeded sample board, not live lines): In the no-signup Try Demo, a 14-prop sample ranks end-to-end. The bottom of that board is Trae Young under 9.5 assists — the UI shows Hit %, a unitless Edge score, and Matchup on the card. The useful part for me…

I'm pretty new to all of this and want to build a simple travel app for mobile. I keep seeing FlutterFlow, Bubble, and WeWeb recommended but I'm really sure which one is easier to learn without getting overwhelmed. If you were starting from zero, which one would you pick? Also any tutorials or courses that actually helped you learn? submitted by /u/Pale_Intern5543 [link] [comments]

I’ve been lurking in r/SideProject for years, and it’s been interesting to see how much it’s changed with AI coding and, more recently, vibe coding. There are more products being built than ever. And there are also more posts asking the same question: How do I get paying customers? I don’t have the answer. But I think there’s an uncomfortable part of the problem we don’t talk about enough. We’re often marketing our side projects to other people building side projects. And from a customer’s perspective, “side project” can be a pretty bad sales pitch. If I’m going to depend on your software, I’m not just buying what exists today. I’m betting that you’ll maintain it, fix bugs, answer support e…

I’m building Domternal full-time, and it has reached a stable 1.x release. Here’s a short walkthrough of the editor, from the free features to the optional Pro extensions. Domternal is a rich text editor for developers to embed in their own applications. It’s built on ProseMirror, with integrations for Angular, React, Vue and vanilla JavaScript. You can start with a classic toolbar, use Notion-style editing with slash commands and draggable blocks, or go headless and build your own interface around the editor core. The free, MIT-licensed editor includes tables with resizable columns, nested blocks and task lists, Markdown support, images, code blocks, math and text formatting. The ready-mad…

Hi everyone, I am the owner of SiteTell. A little bit of context around it so the rest of the post makes sense. It is a SaaS tool that scans your whole website and checks to see if it sounds like AI wrote it in a generic way. I made it because I was getting frustrated with seeing the same AI phrasings, structures, tells etc... everywhere and thought maybe there's a solution here. It uses a curated ruleset to check against and return all the tells. So far we've scanned 103 sites, 10,126 pages and over 23,000 flagged instances. You may ask, what's the need? Well, google doesn't actually punish AI writing in its SEO rankings. What it does punish is generic sounding writing that adds no value, …

So I made this converter and it worked really nicely. I am able to speed up my pixel art workflow to incredible levels, but I decided why not let Astra try to use it. I gave Astra a prompt to use the editor at go wild and holy shit she cooked. I feel like I can make animations and pixel art using AI that would normally take days or weeks in just minutes now. The world is not ready lmao. My tool is completely free to use on portalrabbit.com so you can go experiment with your own prompts or just use it yourself. submitted by /u/CommentBig3066 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I have thousands of travel photos sitting in my camera roll. I enjoy looking through them, but I always felt that they were missing the bigger picture. I wanted one place where I could see everywhere I had been and remember the stories connected to each place. That idea led me to build Atlasia, an iPhone app that turns your past trips into a personal travel map. You can add the countries, cities, and places you have visited, then attach photos, notes, and dates to each one. As you add more trips, your map slowly fills in and becomes a visual record of your travels. You can also create short reels from your trips and compare your map with friends. I wanted it to feel more like a…

Slean started quite a while ago as a simple tool I made to clean up my own photo library and free up space. I’ve reworked and expanded it quite a bit since then, but the core idea has stayed the same: keep the interface simple, make it feel native to iOS, and avoid sending people’s photos to a server just to analyze their gallery. I also deliberately stayed away from the usual “swipe left/right through your entire camera roll” experience. I wanted Slean to actually organize and surface things worth cleaning instead of turning cleanup into another endless feed. It now includes duplicate and similar photo cleanup, compression and On This Day, along with a few lightweight editing tools like Pi…

Jack & Jill, the London-based startup that puts an AI agent on each side of the hiring table, has raised €34.68 million ($40 million) in a Series A round.

Founded in March 2025 by Matt Wilson and Saaras Mehan, Jack & Jill runs two AI agents that sit on opposite sides of the hiring process.

The Series A brings Jack & Jill’s total funding to €52.9 million ($60 million), following a €18.3 million ($20 million) Seed round in October 2025.

Jack & Jill has seen faster traction since its launch in the US than in London.

Wilson, co-founder and CEO of Jack & Jill, said, “By 2030, a billion people will have an AI agent searching every opportunity on their behalf and deciding which ones deserve their …

Rudzinskas mentions that he has seen firsthand that throwing an ever-increasing number of lawyers and analysts at IP enforcement would never solve…

For founders building the next neobank, business account, payment product, or embedded-finance proposition, the first major obstacle is often not the idea.

Accounts need infrastructure.

The traditional fintech launch problemImagine you have identified a clear opportunity.

In practical terms, this means the startup initially operates using Narvi’s regulated infrastructure rather than under its own e-money licence.

For startups, the combination addresses four of the biggest constraints at the beginning of the journey: regulatory infrastructure, technology, time and cost.

Zero, a Helsinki-based startup building the GTM operating system for the AI era, today announced an €8.93 million ($10.3 million) Seed round.

Marketing, sales and customer success teams still spend too much time switching between tools and keeping data up to date.

Teams don’t have to piece the story together across separate tools when a prospect becomes a customer, says Zero.

The company noted that, during the private beta, customers replaced their CRM and separate prospecting, outreach, and customer health tools with Zero.

“I’ve led sales, customer success and revenue operations.

EUCLYD, an Eindhoven-based semiconductor systems startup, has raised a Series A funding round of more than €200 million to accelerate development of “ultra-efficient” infrastructure for foundation AI models.

A company does not relocate in a dayThe European Commission’s Joint Research Centre estimates that 3.3–4.3% of European venture-backed companies relocate fully or partially.

Europe does have institutional signals: national contact points, the Enterprise Europe Network and the EU|BIC quality mark, awarded following assessment and audit.

A European Commission survey of more than 12,000 manufacturing companies in 12 countries found that 19% had production abroad.

The sample covered countries representing around 53% of EU manufacturing gross value added and was heavily weighted towards Germany.

The findings should not therefore be treated as a complete picture of EU manufacturing.
