This is an implementation problem, you can introduce a JIT'd language plus some "container" with "versioned deployments" in modern DB clusters.

I think stored procedures are just strong typed "serverless lambdas" which runs really, really close do your data storage.

> take a picture of an already edited image I think the "reference image" means a photo is taking by a real iPhone 18 device at a certain time, what the content actually means is another matter. The "digital negative"

I hope more people realize, protocol is not the problem, user experience is. The Telegram client leads in every aspect by far. It's just easy to use.

I mean "mild" bombs where the final output bytes looks normal, a regular sized image, but the decompressing steps takes unnecessarily long, eating CPU or/and RAM

The default macOS file system is just weird. It's case-insensitive for storage but case-sensitive on display. I learned this hard way because some files refuse to download on one of my git repo.

Perhaps it's just a bad example. I suppose avif can support multiple "scans" of progressive encoding as well.

I wonder if similar hacks apply to zlib and .png as well.

Stackless python had such potential, it could be extremely useful in Agent era for long running tasks with durable state. modern Python went in a somewhat different direction with asyncio, but with tasklet and continuation it could be a muc

Very cool article. I had a similar idea where "fact checking" should be real programs for logic correctness. But IRL it's too vague. The exploit hunting is a better use case.

Models are now having much tighter integration with harness. It's gunna to happen anyway. We are sailing into the age of vertically integrated intelligence.

I find we are using AI wrong. AI shouldn't be "helping" with homework. AI should be the homework. Start with any topic or problem, students should be encouraged interact with AI, and learn stuff using Socratic method. Teacher

I like the old MSN/GTalk "presence" idea Type your current status in a bar. And the thing that aggregates them? Twitter. People like to peek into what others are doing.

I side with your opinion. CSS is bad for UI layout (maybe good enough for text-flows idk) ... opens the SO link yeah there's no answer to it (even if someone does, it would likely be closed by 5 others)

shameless self-plug: two hard things in computer science https://blog.est.im/2026/stderr-04 I think LLMs are reall good at conjecturing based on existing knowledge, but inventing new tools/lemma and new paradigm?

The thing with LLM is they don't automatically pair parenesis/curly braces like we do with editors/IDEs. The closing } ) ] token has to be generated to match exactly the beginning { ( [ many lines before. You can challenge yo

Python has a less known advantage because it had no curly braces, so LLMs can focus its attention to logic instead of syntax. https://blog.est.im/2026/stdin-11

LLMs from years ago weren't aligned to death like these days. It's hard to get rid of "AI smell" than years ago.
