how coding agents might just unlock a whole new sphere of creativity

To invent a new user interface, you need both imaginative design skill and fluent technical skill. Very few people possess both. ... also requires deep domain insight. I think of Steinberg inventing the timeline editor in Cubase after years as a musician and producer, or Bricklin inventing the dynamic spreadsheet while at Harvard Business School.

Copy Fail — 732 Bytes to Root
CVE-2026-31431. 100% Reliable Linux LPE — no race, no per-distro offsets, page-cache write that bypasses on-disk file-integrity tools and crosses containers. Found by Xint Code.

this is getting boring, but

interesting writeup on inference economics
tldr it doesn't scale as good as "regular web services" where it's possible but hard to get to 80-90% utilization, and is more like 40-50% even with an idealized load

nice way to reduce port conflicts.
i also use unix sockets for that, where the servers/clients support them (eg Golang ones)
https://portless.sh

I am quite optimistic about AI empowerment, and one observation of George Hotz I definitely agree with -- /everything/ now depends on your ability to see if the agent has produced slop, and the habit to ruthlessly reject it.
The slop percentage is very high, 30-90%.

The Eternal Sloptember
I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical…

Can sleep’s core benefits be delivered without actually sleeping? Scientists induced sleep-like neuronal “off periods” during wakefulness in mice, reducing local sleep pressure, weakening synaptic strength, and even restoring memory consolidation during sleep deprivation. The findings suggest key functions of sleep may depend on specific brain activity patterns rather than sleep itself.
