"With resolute defiance
We choose to grasp
At the delicate thread of life
My son the gift of survival is yours
Please, may you never submit
There will be more"

i really need to take a moment. to absolutely lose my shit. to be utterly unhinged. to chew through the scenery, to break the fourth wall, and to eat the fucking script.

or something.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

oww

so many voids

super cool. i'd love to see how you're modeling the simulation runs!

Emerging from hiatus to do a belated cover drop here too. FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS is my next novella and the very first book that I've written that contains no gore.

Not a drop.

(Maybe someone getting bitten by a protective doggo BUT)

Deploy from CI Like You Deploy from Your Laptop - Miren Secretless CI/CD deploys: one command to set up, one action to run.

What does a deploy workflow look like when there are no secrets to manage? Like this!

just before dawn is my favorite time. it's always so beautiful, with so many little joys to experience, with light and color just teasing the horizon, rabbits running about before they'll be seen, a not quite quiet that hints at the day's potential.

this all reads like an excerpt from VURT, by Jeff Noon

If you're a Mac person who uses Windows (by choice or by fiat) and WSL, take a look at this github.com/shanselman/M... and let me know what you think. It takes your WSL (or a new one) and makes it as "Mac Comfortable" as possible with things like HomeBrew, zsh, starship, etc. File Issues with ideas.

absolutely in love with the snow right now. thanks, Denver. we needed this.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

From Problem to Taxonomy An introduction to content-defined chunking: why fixed-size splitting fails, how content-aware boundaries solve the deduplication problem, and a taxonomy of three CDC algorithm families.

Sharing a 5-part series on content-defined chunking (CDC) algorithms as background research for my master's thesis on source code deduplication. It's a tour of the algorithms, a deep dive into FastCDC, and explores costs for building deduplication pipelines at scale.

1. use of their AI for domestic surveillance
2. use of their AI for fully-autonomous weapons

ASTRAL Research Preprint A research preprint on ASTRAL, an architecture for code generation that frames program synthesis as energy minimization over a constraint-shaped landscape.

i couldn't sleep last night (thanks, cats!), so i used the time to finish editing the research preprint on ASTRAL, an architecture for code generation that frames program synthesis as energy minimization over a constraint-shaped landscape: nulldivide.com/blog/astral-...

thanks! i'd love any feedback you have, if you end up trying it.

Graph Salience + Agentic Context Behavioral analysis finds code that changes. Structural analysis finds code that matters. Combining them gives agents something neither provides alone.

understanding a code base is crucial for an agent to operate on it appropriately, but most systems struggle to provide that understanding. homer combines structural graph analysis with behavioral signals into a code insights graph optimized for both agents and humans.

can't sleep? just work on more Lean formalisms of your constraint algebra. can always find more holes in those holes.
