A look at the actual plumbing of machine memory, why none of it decays the way ours does, and the one operation no architecture has.

This week, by order of the ACOUP Senate, we’re talking about the Late Bronze Age Collapse (commonly abbreviated ‘LBAC’), the shocking collapse of the Late Bronze Age state system …

One of the best things about LLMs is that they'll write code for you, all day long. Who cares about DRY? You don't have to be the one updating the same long con...

The discovery makes sense: Mollusks use these teeth to excavate rocks while they feed

TIM ROUGHGARDEN treats computation as a law of nature, tracing its arc from Turing's proof that some problems are unsolvable to the P versus NP question at the heart of modern computer science.

Ever since James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in 1991, I’ve been reading about the many ways ILM, led by visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren, had to basically invent new way…

One idea explains the whole mini PC category: unified memory lets a $2,000 box hold a 70B model no consumer GPU can fit, then decode it slowly. The roofline math, the prompt-processing catch, the NPU red herring, and the owner-measured speeds.

After 27 years of writing code, I have stopped spending time on a long list of small but painful engineering tasks. AI agents now handle commit messages, pull request descriptions, code comments, naming conventions, Git hygiene, issue tracking, and release…
