Negativland, Culture Jamming, and the Art of Making Something New
In 1980, Negativland released its first self-titled album with handmade covers and distributed it through a few record stores in the California Bay Area. “We thought we might sell 100 in the next five years, and we sold all 500 in three months. So we kept going,” said band co-founder Mark Hosler of the experimental […]
Stay discoverable in search while disallowing AI training
Without proper controls, website owners have long faced a difficult tradeoff: allow your content to be used for AI training, or risk losing discoverability in search. That tradeoff exists because some of the largest organizations on the Internet use mixed-use crawlers: a single crawler serving both search and AI training. Refuse one, and you refuse […]
Apple Reference Image: A New Approach for Verified Photography
Today, powerful, widely available AI tools allow users to easily generate or alter photorealistic images to a degree that was difficult to imagine just a few years ago. These tools enable helpful features, like one-touch removal of background distractions, but they also make it difficult to distinguish between photographs that depict real events, and synthetic […]
Recreating Voodoo Graphics and a Late-1990s Gaming PC on an FPGA
I’ve spent the last month adding features and improving performance in z486_MiSTer, mostly working through games from the first half of the 1990s. Looking a few years ahead brought me to another change I wanted to explore: the arrival of 3D graphics cards. The first one that left a strong impression on me was the […]
German Rheinmetall open-sources its Battlesuite connected weapon system protcol
The onboardapi interface library and middleware is designed for seamless communication between sensor systems and software components. It provides a standardized data model that ensures interoperability across complex hardware and software environments. Built on the ddkit software development kit, this library utilizes the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard by the Object Management Group (OMG). This […]
Jean-Pierre Serre is 100 years old today
Jean-Pierre Serre‘s parents, Jean Serre and Adèle Diet, were both pharmacists. His mother Adèle had been a pharmacy student at the University of Montpellier and she took a calculus course (just for fun, she said, since she liked mathematics). In 1932 Jean-Pierre began his primary school education at the École de Vauvert. It was at […]
How much oil-market buffer is left?
Oil is part of everyday life, even when you don’t think about it. It’s refined into fuels that power cars, move goods, and help farmers grow our food. It’s also used to make things like the clothes we wear. Since the US and Israel went to war with Iran in February 2026, the world has […]
Building a Linux GPU Driver for the M4 Mac Mini in One Month
Previous blog post: https://codyho.dev/blog/hypervisor-macbook-neo/ What We Did TL;DR: Niklas and I built a fully OpenGL ES 3.0 compliant GPU driver for the M4 Mac Mini and MacBook Neo in about a month, a process which normally takes years. Here is Chrome and Firefox running WebGL on the M4 Mac Mini with working compositing: Most importantly, […]
WangNet – 1.8 MB, zero-dependency Numberwang adjudication in 11 languages
A small neural network that decides whether a number is Numberwang. The whole model is a 1.8 MB JSON file and the inference code is about 100 lines of pure Python standard library — no PyTorch, no NumPy, nothing to install. Clone it and run it. $ python3 numberwang.py 22 22… THAT’S NUMBERWANG! (confidence: 99.3%) […]
