This is the story of a small encoding called bijou64 — a variable-length integer (varint) encoding that we developed for the Subduction CRDT sync protocol.

The 9-byte (tag + 8 bytes of data) slot can actually represent numbers larger than 2⁶⁴ due to the offset, but since bijou64 targets u64 , we cap it there.

In bijou64, canonical decoding is decoding — the canonicality check is the format.

Tier-boundary differences aside, bijou64 and LEB128 produce wire-byte counts within a couple of percent of each other across realistic workloads.

Branch predictors love the bijou64 pattern; they hate the LEB128 one, especially for large values where the continuation chain is long.

It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12My nephew just graduated high school, and wants a laptop.

It's hard to cost downThe build quality of the MacBook Neo is far above its price class—that's Apple's scale working in their favor.

The MacBook Neo just has 2 ports, and only one is USB 3.2 Gen 2x1.

I think Framework's in a hard place with the Framework 12.

As I mention in my video, the Framework 12 isn't a bad laptop, it's just a bad value, especially in comparison to the Neo.

Headway, a popular online therapy platform, says it will require clients and providers to undergo biometric scanning, and there’s no way to opt out other than leaving the platform.

On April 3, Headway sent an email to clients informing them of the upcoming requirement: “To make sure Headway stays a safe and reliable place to get care, you'll soon be asked to verify your identity by taking a picture of a valid government-issued photo ID in your portal,” the email said, which a user shared with 404 Media.

“As part of this process, you'll also be asked to take a clear photo of your face to confirm your identity.

The facial image is never used for anything but identity verification.” The facial…

Expertise in the Age of AI2026-05-12Tagged: llmsDoes it make sense to hire junior engineers in the age of coding agents?

This cost was partially recouped through code contributions, but today, it’s more effective to directly maximize the output of your senior engineers.

In this essay, I’ll explore the changing nature of expertise in the age of AI.

Math as an analogyI think it helps to think about the impact of AI in terms of math, which had its AI moment half a century ago.

One weirdly common and nihilistic take on AI is that you should stop trying so hard, and just use AI to speedrun your classes.

Someone used my open source project to phish 14,000 peopleThursday morning, Resend emailed me.

I run an open source project management tool called Kaneo.

The part that bothered meWhat stuck with me wasn’t the scale, although 14,000 people getting a phishing email from a domain I own is bad.

Resend doesn’t know the difference between an invite I sent and an invite a stranger sent through my project.

The 14,000 phishing recipients are not my users, but my domain landed in their inboxes, and that’s on me.

Submissions rely on early upvotes to get to the main page, and I was wondering how many people actually visit "newest" to give those submissions a chance.

Marcus Licinius Crassus, a Roman general and notorious real estate mogul, exploited the city’s frequent fires and building collapses.

His reforms included new building codes and a height cap of sixty Roman feet (roughly equivalent to our current feet).

Without steel reinforcement, Roman concrete had its limits.

These buildings often had distinctive names, such as Insula Bolani, Insula Vitaliana, and Insula Sertoriana, reflecting prestige—similar to modern apartment buildings today.

Nevertheless, the insulae of Ostia remain a compelling model of dense, walkable living, with a vibrant street culture.

Their proponents claim that social media bans will improve young people’s mental health, but what evidence supports these claims?

We do not know how social media bans will affect youth because we have never studied that question.

First, enforcing a youth social media ban raises major ethical concerns.

To recap, we don’t know how social media bans will affect teens, and the bans may backfire.

We cannot ban our way out of a youth mental health crisis.

It can be hard running a small business.

Luckily, there's the RM6237 Low Value Purchase System to make everything better.

Every month I have to tell the Government Commercial Agency what business I've done.

Let them know how many paperclips I've sold to the Ministry of Administrative Affairs.

Why isn't the onus on those buying using the system to report what they've spent and who they spent it with?

i decided to write a bra size calculator that i can use in Emacs.

for example, given a made-up band (underbust) measurement of 90 cm and a bust measurement of 105 cm, you could calculate the EU bra size as(my-math-compute-bra-size "90 cm" "105 cm" 'eu )giving "90B" .

this is not too difficult to achieve by using Emacs Lisp as formulas.

you can copy-paste the following table as a template:| date | band | bust | EU size | UK size | US size | |------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------| | 2026-05-27 | 90 cm | 105 cm | | | | #+TBLFM: $4='(my-math-compute-bra-size $2 $3 'eu)::$5='(my-math-compute-bra-size $2 $3 'uk)::$6='(my-math-compute-bra-size $2 $3 'us)modify …

Reed supersedes the earlier Bamboo specification.

Reed is more efficient than Bamboo, more minimalistic in feature set, and generic over any particular cryptographic primitives.

Reed is a lightweigh specification for implementing the SLLS3​ scheme (Meyer, 2023aa) , a scheme that produces shorter proofs than the traditional certificate transparency logs (Laurie et al., 2021) .

Given the (labels of the) out-neighborhood of that path, we can reconstruct the labels of the path vertices.

In particular, we can reconstruct the labels of the commitment vertices of events 2 and 8.

Feel free to tell what you plan on doing this weekend and even ask for help or feedback.

Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing at all too!

[CDATA[ ... ]]> is very commonly used in RSS (also Atom) feeds to escape XML special characters.

[CDATA[ ... ]]> blocks and write any (almost) content inside of them without worrying about escaping characters:< item > < title > This description contains HTML markup. It allows us to use characters like "&" and brackets directly. ]]> CDATA seems to be perfect, isn't it?

Except it's not possible to escape some CDATA special character sequences inside a single CDATA block, particularly ]]> (the one that ends the CDATA block).

Many libraries / frameworks / CMSs still generate CDATA for RSS / Atom feeds and many of them handle the mentioned character sequence ]]> in their own ways.

In November, I had the pleasure of attending the Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day, where I moderated a panel on practical challenges often overlooked in database research.

Allison pointed out that many query processing papers overlook distributed processing, making them hard to adopt in industrial systems.

I believe there are significant research opportunities in exploring how to better structure the interface between applications and database systems.

Solutions to the problems discussed above (and many others) are likely to gain industry attention and be adopted by real database systems.

Moreover, with the availability of open-source systems like DuckDB, DataFusion, LeanStore, and PostgreSQL, co…

Originally HyPer had a very simple model for strings: We made sure that all strings are valid UTF-8 , but otherwise did not really care about the intrinsics of Unicode.

When sorting UTF-8 naively, we sort by code point value, which is often ok but not always what users want.

Consider for example the following two strings (\u is a Unicode escape):abcabc\u007FClearly they are different, right?

Do users expect these two strings to be equal, just as they apparently expect 'abc' and 'äbc' to compare to equal in accent-insensitive collation?

Do users really want that?

Turns out though that’s leaving lots of performance on the table.

You probably don’t need Yocto, and that’s fineNew customers often look surprised when, during the planning phase, we ask whether they really need Yocto.

People sometimes call it “the Yocto Linux distribution”.

A regular Yocto release lives only about seven months, until the next release lands.

With every Yocto maintenance release, you’ll have to check whether your changes still apply cleanly on top of the new state.

It lets you build exactly the Linux system you need, and that’s precisely the problem when you don’t need exactly that.

Clanker: A Word For The MachineIn my last post I used the word “clanker ” as an alternative to “agent” quite consistently and probably excessively.

For me “clanker” is useful because it creates distance from the machine and that is a quality which is important to me.

I use “clanker” to create distance from the machine, but other people are using the same word very differently.

I want a word that says: this is a tool, a machine of numbers and matrices.

A machine can be useful, mimic a human but still just be a machine.

The same intermediation has been building on push in parallel, a step behind, which makes email a reliable preview of where push is going.

Leanplum, now part of CleverTap, published that personalised notifications had open rates around 800 percent higher than generic broadcasts and that 90 percent of opened push notifications produce an action within an hour.

Can we have the day off?

Can we have a day off then?

We can even declare Friday to be something like an “AI workers’ day;” on Thursday I promise I’ll work my ass off writing great prompts and then the agents can churn on them all day on Friday.

In the modern mesh networking space, much of the innovation is happening in the LoRa radio space.

I think most people who are serious about public mesh networking have moved on to researching other solutions, or will have to soon.

Additionally, like Meshtastic, Reticulum essentially works out of the box with devices operating on the same local network.

In the worst case scenario, a local Reticulum mesh lacking any connections to other Reticulum networks is going to fall back to only regional content availability, which is still the most that you'll realistically get from Meshtastic and MeshCore.

This means that a Meshtastic or MeshCore network in Asia will never natively connect to one in E…

Over the decades, there has been no shortage of sites using clever techniques to covertly track visitors’ browsing histories, device fingerprints, and keystrokes and mouse movements in real time.

Now sites have a new way to spy on their visitors: measuring subtle interactions with their solid-state drives.

The technique, named FROST (fingerprinting remotely using OPFS-based SSD timing), allows sites to monitor other sites a visitor is viewing and what apps are open on their devices.

By measuring the timing of certain I/O (input-output) operations of the SSD a visitor is using, the researchers were able to determine the websites open in other tabs—even on other browsers—and the apps that wer…

These days, a typical Google Search feels like an obstacle course.

DuckDuckGo has been one major winner of this Google Search abandonment.

The DuckDuckGo mobile app saw installs spike in the US by 18.1% on average compared to the previous week.

Latest Videos FromThis all follows Google CEO Sundar Pichai claiming last week that, "People love [Search's AI Mode]."

DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg criticised Google's all-in-on-AI approach to Search, telling Paul Thurrott, "Google is force-feeding AI with no way to opt out.

Armed with GDPR and data access laws, I got myself archives with all my messages, reactions, and social graphs.

If I were to maintain a profile for each known person, I'd need to map them (and mentions of them) across all chats.

I didn't find any cross-conversation emotional contagion - talking to one person didn't measurably affect the sentiment of my next conversation that day.

Emma Pierson analysed 5,500 emails in a long-distance relationship and noticed that questions declined as the relationship matured.

Pull it, and what unravels is one of the clearest illustrations of how private equity — the $9.4 trillion industry that quietly controls roughly 11,500 American companies and 11 million jobs — turns essential public infrastructure into profit extraction machines, often at lethal cost.

The Business Model: Brilliant for Investors, Brutal for Everyone ElsePrivate equity is not a mystery.

A private equity firm raises a fund — typically from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and wealthy individuals.

Either way, you get the picture: it's a breezy ultraportable PC to rival the MacBook Air.

Day-to-day usabilityThe Yoga Slim 7x doesn't just compare to the MacBook Air in theory.

ZDNET's key takeawaysPerplexity Bumblebee is an open-source developer security program.

According to the AI company, Bumblebee is a "read‑only scanner we use to check developer machines for risky packages, extensions, and AI tool configs during supply‑chain incidents."

Bumblebee runs on MacOS and Linux developer machines and is available now as an open-source Go project.

You can use the open‑source Bumblebee catalog on GitHub.

Bumblebee runs on the developer laptop.

ZDNET's key takeawaysEuro-Office provides a Europe-based alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs.

The last, besides backing Euro Office, also has its own open-source, cloud-based office suite named Office EU.

It comes with real‑time collaboration and strong support for both Microsoft Office and OpenDocument formats.

Specifically, it can create, open, and edit DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and other Microsoft Office formats, as well as the OpenDocument formats ODT, ODS, and ODP.

The interface closely resembles modern Microsoft Office with ribbon‑style toolbars and a familiar layout to ease migration from Word/Excel/PowerPoint to Euro-Office.

A senior CIA official, David Rush, was arrested after investigators found more than $40 million in gold bars and about $2 million in cash at his Virginia home. According to the New York Times, "The only charge lodged against David Rush is that he inflated his academic credentials and obtained military leave pay worth tens of thousands of dollars." From the report: The court papers describe Mr. Rush as a "former senior executive service-level employee at a United States government agency." People familiar with the investigation say he until very recently held a senior position at the C.I.A. In a joint statement, the C.I.A. and F.B.I. said the arrest occurred on May 19, after the agency alert…

Wired reports: According to a recent press conference, phase one will be particularly active: at least 25 missions and 21 surface landings. Without detailing specific dates, the agency said that over the next three years it will send rovers, including manned models for future mobility, drones, surface reactors, new-generation satellites, and payloads to …

An anonymous reader quotes a report from MIT News: Currently, lithium hard rock extraction involves baking the rock at over 1,000 Celsius and chemically leaching it to extract lithium. The rest of the rock is discarded. Now, a team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere has developed a low-temperature process for extracting battery-grade lithium from the most common type of lithium-bearing mineral. The process uses a liquid reagent to dissolve the rock into the useful forms of its constituent parts: not just battery-ready lithium salts, but also smelter-grade alumina and cement-ready silica. After the minerals are extracted, the solvent and reagent can be recovered and used again so waste le…

A new Grundfos report warns that Europe's datacenter boom could strain water supplies and power grids unless regulators bake water and energy efficiency into planning, reporting, and incentives for new facilities. The Register reports: According to the report, the EU-wide server farm IT load is about 10 GW today, and is expected to rise to 35 GW by 2030 -- just four years away. These facilities account for about 3 percent of all electricity consumption now, but this is projected to hit 7-9 percent by the end of the decade. Water and energy are intertwined in cooling systems. Grundfos claims that cooling infrastructure accounts for a substantial share of a datacenter's resource use, represen…

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.8 with stronger performance and better handling of uncertain or flawed data, including a greater tendency to flag issues rather than make unsupported claims. The update also introduces a "Dynamic Workflows" research preview for coordinating complex tasks across many subagents. TechCrunch reports: Opus 4.8 comes with the expected best-in-class benchmark results, but there's also particular attention to how the model manages bad or uncertain data. In the launch post, Anthropic's early testers found that the new model is "more likely to flag uncertainties about its work and less likely to make unsupported claims." Echoing this point, a testimonial from Brid…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Gizmodo: In an era where Silicon Valley's conservatism is both expressed openly and becoming more intense by the day, it's strange to think that tech was once seen as a hive of liberalism. The right-wing nature of today's tech industry means that its products tend to also be seen as serving right-wing interests, either in their actual operation (like X's openly and unrepentantly right-wing chatbot Grok) or by the simple fact that their existence serves to enrich a small group of very powerful, very conservative people. But does it have to be this way? Can LLMs and AI agents find a place in the toolkit of progressive activist groups? The conviction th…

Illinois lawmakers on Wednesday passed a landmark AI safety bill (SB 315) that would require major AI companies to publish safety plans, submit annual third-party testing reports, report serious incidents quickly, and protect whistleblowers who flag emerging risks. OpenAI and Anthropic supported the bill, which could make Illinois a testing ground for state-level AI governance as federal regulation remains stalled. Ars Technica reports: To force companies to be more transparent about rapid developments, Illinois would likely rely on "the Big Four accounting and auditing firms -- Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC -- to audit their safety practices," [said Scott Wisor, a policy director at a nonpro…

Valve's Steam Deck has sold out again despite a steep price increase that pushed the 1TB OLED model as high as $949 -- about $300 above its original price. "Even with the $300 price bump, the Steam Deck sold out after less than 24 hours back in stock," reports IGN's Jacqueline Thomas. "I don't know how many units Valve was able to stock into its store, but it does seem like Valve spent a couple weeks building up its stock before putting the handheld back on its store." IGN reports: Over the last couple weeks, Valve has been receiving plenty of "game console" shipments from China. At first, I thought this was a sign that the company was getting ready to finally release the Steam Machine, but…

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

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.

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]: …

Игра, чтобы выучить свой район

Как ведь бывает, переехал в новый район, а там все улицы незнакомые. Как вот их учить?

Thick clients were the dominant form of device throughout the PC and mobile era; in an AI world, however, thin clients make much more sense.

I have a new small project: edtext provides text

selection and manipulation functions inspired by the classic ed

text editor.I’ve long used cog to build documentation and HTML

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…

Microsoft got hammered on Wall Street for capacity allocation decisions that were the right ones: the software that wins will use AI to usurp other software.

If hyperscalers and chip companies don't build up a TSMC competitor they are set to forego billions of dollars in revenue and stunt the AI revolution.

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…

It's a Chrome extension. submitted by /u/atlastech01 [link] [comments]

Six months ago: no programming background, app ideas I couldn't build. Today: two apps on the App Store, one book published on Amazon and Gumroad. The apps were built using Claude Code + Expo + React Native + Supabase. The book documents exactly how I did it, step by step, for other non-technical builders. Stack covered: - Local storage with AsyncStorage - Cloud backend with Supabase + auth - AI features using the Anthropic vision API - API key security via Supabase Edge Functions - Full App Store + Google Play submission What surprised me most: the hardest part wasn't the code. It was learning to describe what I wanted precisely enough for Claude to build it correctly. That's a real skill …

I like making pub quizzes for my friends every once in a while, but the available platforms don't have all the features I would like. Kahoot only has a couple of question types, Mentimeter has a shitty interface and doesn't track scores, and almost all of them put up a paywall the second you want to invite more than 10 people… On top of that, there’s no way to collaborate on them like you can in PowerPoint or Canva. So I made my own. Zero experience, but I just built what I wanted: many different question types, custom answer and scoring logic, a scoring system, and personalized avatars for each participant. Also, it doesn’t make sense to me that you have to create an account everywhere for…

TrueLayer, a UK payments fintech looking to disrupt the dominance of card payments, has acquired a Dutch fintech, in a move to expand its offering to credit products.

Backed by Stripe and Tiger Global, TrueLayer leverages open banking technology to allow customers to make online transactions.

TrueLayer has acquired 20-strong Dutch fintech In3, which specialises in consumer credit via bank payments.

TrueLayer said the acquisition means it can offer consumers the option to pay by debit and now credit at checkout- saying it’s the only pay by bank network in Europe to offer the combination.

Pay by bank payments are still dwarfed by those of card transactions.

Atheni, an AI adoption company, has raised £350,000 to further develop its platform designed to help organisations use AI more effectively across their workforce.

Founded by Mackenzie Howe and Louise Ballard, Atheni was developed through two years of client work before raising external funding.

The platform is also designed to help organisations measure whether AI capability and practical adoption are improving across teams.

Louise Ballard explained that while many organisations already have access to advanced AI tools, most employees are still using them in limited ways.

She said Atheni is focused on helping people unlock the broader potential of AI within the work they already do.

Kopa.ai, an agentic AI platform for e-commerce teams, has raised €2 million in seed funding in a round co-led by XTX Ventures and Practica Capital, with participation from Inovia Capital and angel investor Etan Ilfeld.
