A custom pnpm registry with 2–7x faster installs (x.com)
Package install time remains a major dev-loop bottleneck, and a registry-layer change claims multi-fold gains over pnpm's already-fast Rust path

Storing files in DNS resolver caches
Open DNS resolver caches become a bizarre distributed storage medium when millions of resolvers can temporarily hold shards of a file

South Korea’s dopamine sites simulate shopping without purchase
Fake carts, fake delivery tracking, and simulated orders show how commerce UX can be detached from commerce itself

Audacity now ships with launcher, cloud popups, and upsells
A famously lightweight open-source audio editor adding accounts and cloud prompts is a concrete example of software bloat reaching trusted tools

Digital archives disappear faster than people expected
Digital information is not self-preserving, and the first decades of the web are already suffering link rot and archive loss

Quickly whipped up a few CuteDSL kernels for sm120 (TMA+mma.sync). There is quite a gap wrt CuBLAS @ 600W, but surprisingly, my kernels come up slightly ahead @ 400W. I have a feeling TMA is more energy-efficient than cp.async? (CuBLAS disp

We will be presenting our CVPR paper When Pretty Isn’t Useful in the afternoon today. We benchmark modern t2i models and find that newer models make progressively worse synthetic training data and we investigate why! Come visit us at post

Back in March, I tested whether Qwen3.5 4B was as good as GPT-4o for gen chat. The result was that they were ~similar. But lots of models have since come out - Qwen3.6, Gemma4 - how do they stack up? The answer is decisive: they beat GPT-4o

astro-erudite v2 is out! I've rewritten my minimal blogging template from scratch, and it's better than the original in every way I know how to measure. It ships with 97% less JavaScript (253kb to 6.5kb) and builds 5x faster (6.1s to 1.2s).

Spent three hours reading the inspiring blog. One thing it made me notice: almost every strong flow-map T2I model ends up adding a GAN loss — CTM, SANA-Sprint, and AYF. In the GAN-finetuning stage it almost feels inverted: the adversarial

one way to think about timing your startup launch: - if your launch flops, the extra week of polish wouldn't have changed that. might as well learn it, iterate, and try again. - if your launch lands, you'll wish you'd done it sooner. the
