Torturing Rustc by Emulating HKTs
Rust does not have HKTs, kinda # Higher kinded types, or HKTs, is the notion that generics can have generics. That is, in something like struct Foo(T);, T would be any specific type that hypothetically accepts one generic type. In that sense, T is a type constructor that has an arity of one that accepts […]
Optimizing Content for Agents
Just as useless of an idea as LLMs.txt was It’s all dumb abstractions that AI doesn’t need because AIs are as smart as humans so they can just use what was already there, which is APIs LLMs.txt is indeed useless, but that’s the only thing correct in this statement.

Electron microscopy shows ’mouse bite’ defects in semiconductors
Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was the result of a collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Advanced Semiconductor Materials (ASM), could touch almost every form of modern electronics, from phones […]
I Found 39 Algolia Admin Keys Exposed Across Open Source Documentation Sites
Last October I reported an exposed Algolia admin API key on vuejs.org. The key had full permissions: addObject, deleteObject, deleteIndex, editSettings, the works. Vue acknowledged it, added me to their Security Hall of Fame, and rotated the key. That should have been the end of it. But it got me thinking: if Vue.js had this […]
