Microgpt
This is a brief guide to my new art project microgpt, a single file of 200 lines of pure Python with no dependencies that trains and inferences a GPT. This file contains the full algorithmic content of what is needed: dataset of documents, tokenizer, autograd engine, a GPT-2-like neural network architecture, the Adam optimizer, training […]
Show HN: Xmloxide – an agent made rust replacement for libxml2
A pure Rust reimplementation of libxml2 — the de facto standard XML/HTML parsing library in the open-source world. libxml2 became officially unmaintained in December 2025 with known security issues. xmloxide aims to be a memory-safe, high-performance replacement that passes the same conformance test suites. Memory-safe — arena-based tree with zero unsafe in the public API […]
You can use newline characters in URLs
We locate web content using special addresses called URLs. We are all familiar with addresses like https://google.com. Sometimes, URLs can get long and they can become difficult to read. Thus, we might be tempted to format themlike so in HTML using newline and tab characters, like so: my blog post It will work. Let us […]
Simple Screw Counter
28 Feb 2026 I have wasted a significant chunk of my life counting out small numbers of parts into bags and posting them to people. It’s not that I’m complaining about the popularity of my precision clock kits, but it does feel like the time could be better spent. I’m apparently such an anxious person […]
MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO
MinIO’s open-source repo has been officially archived. No more maintenance. End of an era — but open source doesn’t die that easily. I forked MinIO, restored the admin console, rebuilt the binary distribution pipeline, and brought it back to life. If you’re running MinIO, swap minio/minio for pgsty/minio. Everything else stays the same. (CVE fixed, […]
Moldova broke our data pipeline
This is one of those funny stories about a bug you want to remember to tell your grandkids before bed (omg, what a terrible grandpa I’m going to be). Anyway, a few days ago our DMS replication started failing. Redshift was rejecting rows. The pipeline was choking. Nothing had changed in the pipeline, how on […]
Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD)
The Fusion: VDD × TDD × SDD for AI-Native Engineering Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD) is a unified software engineering methodology that fuses three proven paradigms into a single AI-orchestrated pipeline: Spec-Driven Development (SDD): Define the contract before writing a single line of implementation. Specs are the source of truth. Test-Driven Development (TDD): Tests are written […]
The whole thing was a scam
The fix was in, and Dario never had a chance. Probably you already saw how it all turned out. On the very same day that Altman offered public support to Amodei, he signed a deal to take away Amodei’s business, with a deal that wasn’t all that different. You can’t get more Altman than that. […]
Show HN: SQLite for Rivet Actors – one database per agent, tenant, or document
What is Rivet? Rivet Actors are a serverless primitive for stateful workloads. Each actor has built-in state, storage, workflows, scheduling, and WebSockets — everything needed to build the next generation of software.
DOS Memory Management
The memory management in DOS is simple, but that simplicity may be deceptive. There are several rather interesting pitfalls that programming documentation often does not mention. DOS 1.x (1981) had no explicit memory management support. It was designed to run primarily on machines with 64K RAM or less, or not too much more (the original […]
