I expect in the near future all digital cameras to digitally sign the images they take. Even before AI slop, it was useful to avoid manual alterations. AI makes it all too easy, so it makes sense. However, this will certify only the origina

I've used this to install some 3rd party skills: https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills It allows to install and update skills. Caveat: It works for Claude Code and Codex, but does not work for Claude Desktop.

I was thinking about making a "personal data search engine". I have almost 30GB of email archives and a bunch of Google Drive and offline files. I am thinking about downloading it all from the cloud and storing it on a large RAID

I’ve finally cancelled my Cursor subscription. It was an interesting product, but the fact that most interesting features only work with per-token pricing, not Cursor and Codex subscriptions, is a bummer. As to their Composer models, they w

Imagine all licence plates being small screens and periodically showing numbers derived from a private key issued by the DMV. As they change, vehicles could not be tracked without knowing the private key, yet the DMV can verify the ownershi

You nailed it: there is a conflict between surface area (wanting more for solar charging) and efficiency (you want it to be aerodynamic and light, hence less area for solar charging). I also think an extendable canopy (for a car, not a bike

The intention is good. I like the reviews idea. Since the author has hit the limitations of ATProto, could ActivityPub be an answer?

The missing integration point is reading progress. The killer feature (for me) of Kindle is that I can have several devices and continue reading on any of them with my position in the book synced. I want that across different readers. For e

This is a good example of a poor web site design. If you, like me, do not know what Phosh is and go to their website, it will tell you not much beyond "A user interface for your mobile phone," which could mean pretty much anything

Comcast + Netflix. My personal experience few years ago: switched to 8.8.8.8 DNS at home and my Netflix streaming become extrelemly slow.

unfortunately many DNS resolvers are integrated with CDNs. I do want privacy of an independent non-tracking DNS but I also want my video streaming work fast. :(

Reading reports of people objecting datacenters build in their states I wonder how Florida residents feel about the Spaceport ? It will certainly be more distruptive than datacenters.

We may be entering the age of "disposable software" (some people politely call it "on-demand software"). Until recently, coding was a highly specialised skill and was relatively expensive. So writing custom code for pers

There are formally compilers (e.g. CompCert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompCert ) which are formally proven correct. I think eventually all production compilers will be formally verified.

I do not use KDE and wanted just command-line version of it without any Qt dependencies, so I've burned some tokens and produced just that: https://github.com/vzaliva/whatcable-linux-cli

I think it is fantastic to have more compiler implementations. It was probably also a fun project to code. What I find lacking in web pages is a motivation. What makes it different from popular compilers? Where is this project heading? What

Hardware-supported capability-based architectures like CHERI are great. I am lilttle skeptical about adpotion prospects of software-only implementation of fat pointers for languages like C and C++.

by vzaliva 5mo ago
This is yet another variant of the "fat pointers" technique, which has been implemented and rejected many times due to either insufficient security guarantees, inability to cross non-fat ABI boundaries, or the overhead it introduc

There's a non-obvious fact that people with good sight might not realise. You need decent eyesight (or spectacles) to actually use smartwatch functions beyond just telling the time. As I've got older, I need reading glasses for sm
