Stop overhyping AI, scientists tell von der Leyen
A group of scientists has called on Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to retract a statement she made earlier this year when she suggested artificial intelligence would soon reach parity with human intelligence. “We thought AI would only approach human reasoning around 2050,” von der Leyen said at the annual EU budget conference in […]

Advent of Code on the Z-Machine
So far, we have only seen procedural code, but Inform 6 is also somewhat object-oriented7 Sometimes the Z-machine is described as one of the first widely-installed object-oriented systems, but there is very little support for object-orientation in the Z-machine itself. Also zil does not support what we would today recognise as object-oriented code. It has […]
Welcome, the entire land – “Hello, world!” in hieroglyphics
Earlier this year I was attending the dConstruct web conference in Brighton, UK. These sorts of conferences bring together plenty of like-minded people and friends I only get to see a few times a year. After the conference a few of us stuck around a few days to relax, recuperate and chat. Brighton is also […]

Listen to Database Changes Through the Postgres WAL
Welcome back, friends! Did you hear the news about the inventor of the Knock-Knock joke? He got a No-bell prize. Alright, this post will be a bit longer since we’ll dive deeply into the Postgres WAL and will explore how to listen for database changes through it. The Problem Let’s say you want to react […]
Why Effort Scales Superlinearly with the Perceived Quality of Creative Work
November 2, 2025 · 1 min read · Send your thoughts via twitter or mail. Abstract claim: The act of creation is fractal exploration–exploitation under optimal feedback control. When resolution increases the portion of parameter space that doesn’t make the artifact worse (acceptance volume) collapses. Verification latency and rate–distortion combine into a precision tax that […]
Zig / C++ Interop
Note: this blog post is cross-posted from my personal blog I’ve been writing Zig and C++ that have to talk to each other. I want both languages to be able to store data types from the other in their own structs/classes. const c = @cImport({ @cInclude(“cppstuff.h”); }); const MyZigType = struct { foo: c.SharedPtrFoo, }; […]
The Write Last, Read First Rule
TigerBeetle is a financial transactions database built for correctness. Yet, building a correct system from correct components remains a challenge: Composing systems, each correct in isolation, does not necessarily yield a correct system. In this post, we’ll explore how to maintain consistency in the absence of transactions, how to reason about correctness when intermediate states […]
