Improving my focus by giving up my big monitor
Keeping my focus has been challenging. It’s not a new phenomenon, and I suspect that there are contributing factors that have lead to the unfocused state dominating. For example, I’ve been that guy who wants to be on top of things, to be in the loop, to respond to urgent issues. It feels fantastic to […]

We intercepted the White House app’s traffic. 77% of requests go to 3rd parties
This is a follow-up to our static analysis of the White House iOS app. In that post, we decompiled the app and documented what the code could do. Critics fairly pointed out that compiled code doesn’t mean active code. So we set up a MITM proxy and watched what the app actually sends. Setup We […]
OpenScreen is an open-source alternative to Screen Studio
Warning This is very much in beta and might be buggy here and there (but hope you have a good experience!). OpenScreen is your free, open-source alternative to Screen Studio (sort of). If you don’t want to pay $29/month for Screen Studio but want a much simpler version that does what most people seem to […]

Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic Data
Scientists researching the microplastics crisis may have unintentionally made it worse. Not by directly contributing to the problem, but by inadvertently skewing the data. The culprit, a new study published in the journal RSC Analytical Methods reveals, could be their gloves. Featured Video A team of researchers from the University of Michigan discovered that nitrile […]
A dot a day keeps the clutter away
Walk into my lab and the first thing you’ll notice is the dots. The walls are lined with clear boxes, each one labeled, dated, and covered in dot stickers. Some boxes are buried in dots of every color. Others have a few. Others are bare. You don’t know what they mean yet, but you can […]
Show HN: 1-Bit Bonsai, the First Commercially Viable 1-Bit LLMs
Large models can’t fit on smartphones. Datacenters can’t sustain them. PrismML is building ultra dense intelligence to solve both. 14× less memory 8× faster 5× less energy 1-bit Bonsai 8B The first commercially viable model with 1-bit weights. Requiring only 1.15GB of memory, 1-bit Bonsai 8B was engineered for robotics, real-time agents, and edge computing. […]
