Watch R1 “think” with animated chains of thought
We can visualize the “thought process” for R1 by: Saving the chains of thought as text Converting the text to embeddings with the OpenAI API Plotting the embeddings sequentially with t-SNE Here’s what it looks like when R1 answers a question (in this case “Describe how a bicycle works.”): Consecutive Distance It might be useful […]
Hk, a new Git hook manager from jdx
hk is built by @jdx. Why does this exist? In short: performance and mise-en-place. Initially mise users wanted more functionality than mise provides in its basic mise generate git-pre-commit command provided—such as the ability to only run tasks when certain files are changed. Rather than bake that into mise, I felt it was unique […]
Open Source projects could sell SBoM fragments
Open Source projects could sell SBOM fragments | Discoveries Home Blog 2025-02-17 Scanning source files for licensing information (because the package managers‘ metadata is insufficient) is a lot of work, and a lot of wasted effort, because only rarely do companies pool their resources. One example is OSSelot, another is ClearlyDefined. But maybe Open Source […]
(Ab)using general search algorithms on dynamic optimization problems (2023)
Jan. 24, 2023 In retrospect, my most ambitious blog yet. As it goes, I was reading “Artificial Intelligence. A Modern Approach” the other day. In one of the earlier chapters the authors discuss general search algorithms: breadth-first search, depth-first search, uniform-cost search (Dijkstra), and variations of those. A bit later they also cover Monte Carlo […]

0+0 > 0: C++ thread-local storage performance
We’ll discuss how to make sure that your access to TLS (thread-local storage) is fast. If you’re interested strictly in TLS performance guidelines and don’t care about the details, skip right to the end — but be aware that you’ll be missing out on assembly listings of profound emotional depth, which can shake even a […]
An early social un-network
Feb 16, 2025 reminiscence POWCON Vax With one thing and another I’ve recently been feeling quite nostalgic for the technology landscape of my early university days (around 1990) and so I wanted to write a little bit about that. Background To set the scene for you, I was at university – or rather at polytechnic […]
Searchcode.com’s SQLite database is probably 6 terabytes bigger than yours
