Having Gemini Code CLI write code for my toy language is helping me find issues and bugs, as well as improve the documentation. Very useful to see what it gets wrong based on the docs, and whether error messages are useful or not.
Humanoid robots are going to need better local models. Calling to an LLM in the cloud for advice makes sense (call a bigger AI brain if you're stuck), but you can't have every action dependent on WiFi or cellphone access. Depending on the cloud for voice is terrible.

This is so goddamned impressive. Picking up that glass, singulating stacked plates.
Sooo there's a Netflix movie from 2019 called "I Am Mother" which is exactly about that 😅

The obvious answer is that a big proportion of the benchmarks used are leetcode-style problems...
I wish that YouTube had a low-pass filter built in. Some podcasters have bad audio and too much high-frequency content, and it's like gah! ouch, my ears! Seems like the kind of thing you could even automatically enable with some basic statistics. Don't even need AI.
Had this problem for 5+ years where I feel pain 1-2 hours after eating. My doctor treated me like I'm an idiot and it was a mental health problem (!). I insisted on doing more tests. A billion useless tests later: gastroenterologist found stones in my gallbladder. Fuck doctors.
Prediction: folding phones are a fad. Too fragile. Too expensive to get much market when smartphones are already very expensive. Not enough of a win compared to a regular smartphone. This is going the way of 3D televisions. If not already obvious, will seem obvious in hindsight.
Neural networks work in mysterious ways 🪄 🐈 But how can you expect them to solve math problems when you prompted them to think about cute cats? 😺

Whole-body Large Behavior Model diffusion policy from Boston Dynamics and TRI. Most advanced mobile-manipulation demo with error recovery I've seen to date.
An open source contributor made this using my toy programming language. It's a software-rendered rotating cube, rendered with parallel actors each running an interpreter (no JIT). Runs at over 60fps on my MacBook Air M1 :D github.com/maximecb/plush…
People have been hyping genAI for 3D games but I would expect that 3D engines will keep being a thing for years because they need less compute, and neural models will keep having issues with controllability and consistency. Also unclear how to make a multiplayer game with genAI.

Register allocation is one of those things that seems like it should take 2 days to implement. Everyone I've ever spoken to about it has found all sorts of surprises that cause those 2 days to balloon. This great post will save future folk much time! bernsteinbear.com/blog/linear-sc…
It's kind of cool to see that there is now a race to produce the first useful laundry folding robot. We should see a boom in general-purpose robots over the next decade. Things are just getting started!

I published another blog post on simple optimizations that allowed me to double the performance of my interpreter and beat CPython on the recursive fibonacci microbenchmark: pointersgonewild.com/2025-08-06-out…
I'm one of those people who uses a wired keyboard and mouse because why would I want to have more batteries that can just randomly die on me?
Is it the case that rustc can't get rid of dead code effectively, or is the bloat due to generics? What's the root cause?
