OpenAI's models started mentioning creatures like goblins and gremlins in their metaphors due to a subtle incentive from training for the personality customization feature, specifically the Nerdy personality. The behavior was amplified through transfer from Nerdy personality training and later spread to other contexts, requiring OpenAI to retire the Nerdy personality and implement new tools ...

A Primer on Bézier Curves – So What Makes a Bézier Curve?

https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/images/chapters/introduction/54e9ec0600ac436b0e6f0c6b5005cf03.png
Bézier curves are used in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications, graphic design, and scalable vector graphics (SVG). They are defined by linear interpolations between control points, forming a curve that never extends beyond the points used to construct it.

"Parse, don't validate" through the years with C++

The user discusses the concept of "parse, don't validate" and applies it to a date-parsing problem in C++98, C++11, C++17, and C++23, using type systems to ensure data validity. By using type systems to enforce constraints, the user aims to eliminate the need for validation control flow and improve code readability and maintainability.

Biology is a Burrito: A text- and visual-based journey through a living cell

https://burrito.bio/images/goodsell-ecoli.jpg
A typical E. coli cell is incredibly dense with molecules, with its entire volume being 100 million times smaller than a grain of sand. The cell's insides are 70% water, with proteins, RNA, and lipids making up the rest, and DNA accounting for just 1% of its mass.

My Stratum-0 Atomic Clock

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4174/34292099192_8023afcdbc.jpg
In My Stratum-1 Desk Clock I wrote about my quest for accurate and precise timekeeping that lead me to hack together a desk clock that disciplined its system clock against time taken from the U.S. global positioning system (GPS). I have come to think of this first effort as "O-1", inspired by John Harrison, the eighteenth-century carpenter who invented the marine chronometer and many ...

FastCGI: 30 years old and still the better protocol for reverse proxies

Using FastCGI as a protocol for proxy-to-backend communication can avoid HTTP's pitfalls, such as desync vulnerabilities, by providing clear message boundaries and domain separation between client and proxy headers. FastCGI is a 30-year-old protocol that is still usable today, but its lack of awareness and outdated tooling may hinder its adoption despite its potential benefits.

Monad Tutorials Timeline

https://wiki.haskell.org/wikiupload/2/23/Monad-tutorials-chart.png
Monads are a concept in programming that allows for the creation of computations that can handle side effects, such as input/output or exceptions, in a controlled and structured way. They can be thought of as a way to wrap a value or computation in a context that provides a way to sequence operations and handle effects in a predictable manner.

HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/4395a2e7017b07ed312fbb105e14129840e8ce7be471c0c506f1e73ecadf5586/anthropics/claude-code/issues/53262
Claude Code routes API requests to extra usage billing when a git commit message contains the case-sensitive string HERMES.md. This causes silent extra usage credits consumption, making it difficult to diagnose.

Why I still reach for Lisp and Scheme instead of Haskell

The author prefers Scheme over Haskell for its simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use, despite Haskell's mathematical beauty and innovations. Scheme's REPL and macro system allow for fast prototyping, debugging, and development, making it the author's "sweet spot" for good developer experience.
