Nine more lessons from my 3D book about energy, now covering the whole GCSE energy topic: kinetic, gravitational and elastic energy, heating, power, efficiency, energy resources and conservation of energy.
Built with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. The full book ↓

Saw a guy call it cuck coding instead of vibe coding because you just sit in a chair and watch😭

Posted slides for my talk "Getting a subroutine right: a case study" today: cr.yp.to/talks.html#2026.10.… The case study I picked for the talk is integer sorting. The broader point is the multifaceted engineering benefit of limiting data flow from inputs to branches and array indices.

Europe’s founders need a European standard to compete globally from day one.
Europe’s leaders committed to delivering one. But their teams are negotiating away the very things that make it one.
There is still time to change course if Europe's Heads of State step in now.

Genuinely can’t tell if this is a typo because it’s a huge win for Europe either way
Nvidia will announce $28 of AI investments in Europe this week $NVDA

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…

Once in a while you stumble upon true weapons-grade autism that makes everyone else look like LARPers.
Incredible work.

simdvis now visualises PINSR* instructions.
![Screenshot of an interactive Intel instruction visualizer for VPINSRB. It shows the syntax VPINSRB xmm1, xmm2, r32, imm8 and explains that one byte from src2 is inserted into a selected byte position of src1. In the example, imm8 = 0x02, so byte index 2 is selected. src1 contains bytes 0xA0 through 0xAF, while src2[0] is 0x1F. The destination row highlights byte 2 changing from 0xA2 to 0x1F; all other destination bytes remain unchanged. A bit diagram at the bottom shows the low four immediate bits as 0010, corresponding to selection index 2.

I'm looking for my next role, in Montreal or remote! My background spans compilers, systems, and AI research.
I'd welcome introductions, leads, or a repost to help spread the word ❤️

All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.
