I hope this is the only time I use this tracker (unlike the COVID-19 ones...)

Absolutely this. Plus, LLMs are surprisingly adept (in my experience) at handling gnarly syntactic corners of most widespread strongly typed languages, esp. C++ and Rust.
Solid writeup - Actually an enjoyable read about solving a problem with zero documentation but plenty of tenacity.

True words. This post is actually a very good enumeration of the status quo for this debacle.

Open source quantum hardware with Quantum Village in donated lab space at a London university. Pushing the boundary for Entropy Loop, a QRNG to make it faster and more enteopy, and the Uncut Gem redesign, our NVC diamond based quantum magnetometer.

It's been so long since I last saw this. Stalwart of the internet.

Cute, and quite something if the sim-to-real pipeline is as smooth as we all might hope.

oh, 'the44music' is it. Ok, world is fine.

44Music not taken? Common time signature seems obvious...

Re:Proof.fail – document what didn't work on Sunday August 23, 2026 @06:38AM (#49407700)
As we automate more and more, and see claims of "one shotting" 80+yo maths conjectures, documenting and sharing what didn't work is surely going to get more and more important...
Usain Volt
Prime example of "low effort, high risk"...
Open Source Malware? Oh you mean 'deniable cyber intrusion tech'!

To be fair, GOV.FR did recently move to all open source software utilisation.

The Graph memory topology is an interesting idea... As is the idea of pushing all the nonlinear stuff into writes, leaving state evolution essentially linear (at least, by my read)
