Panel 1: Anime character Kaiba holding a yu-gi-oh cad that says “your idea is bad” Panel 2: anime character Yugi smirking and holding a yu-gi-oh card Panel 3: Yugi holds up his card reading “Claude says it’s good” Panel 4: Kaiba screaming in defeat

“Sloperating system” is my new favourite tech slang
Claude’s Cycles Don Knuth, Stanford Computer Science Department (28 February 2026; revised 02 March 2026) Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6 — Anthropic’s hybrid reasoning model that had been released three weeks earlier! It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving. I’ll try to tell the story briefly in this note.
YOOOOOOO fucking KNUTH dropped a lil note on a problem of his being solved w/claude y'alllllll
Most programmers are taught that L1 is the “top level” cache on x86.
It’s not quite true anymore!
Intel calls it the Decoded Stream Buffer (DSB), AMD the OpCache.
Only enough room for ~4,000 micro-ops, but there are interesting ways to take advantage of it.
ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online
I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

New blog post, about a great little way to add fairness to distributed systems.
Combining stochastic fairness queuing, best-of-two, and shuffle sharding. Read it here: brooker.co.za/blog/2026/02...
I feel like Claude Code and I are doing improv together with the amount of “Yes, and…” between us
I tried to become Nim-pilled but the third-party libraries aren’t maintained, there’s no major company/foundation backing behind the language, and Reddit is full of complaints about tooling. I might still give it a try, but it’s not looking promising.
Can someone turn my job into a farming sim where I:
- water my pods and watch them scale
- gift CPUs to the nodes in the cluster to get them to like me
- delve into the log mines in search of wisdom and treasure
- pass out from exhaustion
My brain read this as “atproto of nothing”
Meme of Doug the cartoon character writing in his journal, captioned “dear journal, the comment section was fire today”
When someone criticizes a social network’s architecture on that social network where the developers of the social network are very active
I still think someone should turn bullet chess into a rhythm game.
I didn’t know about this option. I will have to try it out. Thank you!
SQLAlchemy feels like using C++ sometimes. Lots of foot guns where things break because you just had to know ahead of time that you’re holding it the wrong way. Isn’t there an ORM equivalent of a “memory-safe language” out there?
Every so often an injury will remind you how much accessibility matters
Most people think Django needs a full project to be useful 🤔
What if you could use the ORM alone?
One file. No server. No migrations.
Connect to an existing database and explore it with QuerySets.
Django as a lightweight data tool.

I noticed Claude signs commits with a noreply email address. What a legend.
I got my invite today too!
Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.
The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅
(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)
With GitHub being as big as it is, how does their diff viewer not show indentation-only changes nicely? Mind-boggling.

I wanted to understand how to generate my own vector embeddings and understand semantic search in general without external services. It became a significant rabbit hole. I wrote a post on some of what I learned.

Pronouncing ChatGPT as Chat-Jippity is hilarious and not even the funniest thing in this video. AI really is a mirror of who we are.
Bluesky needs more pipe and drum band content. I should be the change I want to see in the world.
state just before it gets converted to source code, and run optimizations on it first (the way a compiler does)?
This was an interesting thread. It made me think of compilers. If English (or any human language) is the compiler front end, was is the optimal compiler back end (i.e. compiler output, i.e. programming language)? What is the optimal intermediate representation? What if LLMs could snapshot their 1/
Ok maybe my CLAUDE dot md was a little too big. Progressive disclosure helps.
