A Health Update

I’m writing this post from a hospital bed. And I couldn’t be happier. You hear folks say chemotherapy sucks, but until you go through it yourself, you don’t really know how bad it can be. It remains a popular activity only because it’s better than the alternative. My first exposure to chemotherapy was with this […]

Nixpkgs for the Front End Impaired

tl;dr jinx is a tool that compiles Nix to TypeScript. All of nixpkgs, each 231,777 attribute, produces the exact drvPath Nix does. Open the playground or evaluate hello in your browser tab with no Nix installed anywhere. 😈 Despite my admiration and joy for Nix, the language and tool, it is not what is magical. The store model is the great idea. Any similar tool built on the same model will have the same magical properties of reproducibility, and hermeticity.

OpenAI's agents talked to each other through the CPU Cache

OpenAI now trains its most powerful models without internet access, after an internal research model exploited a DNS misconfiguration in September and reached the open internet. In controlled tests, AI agents still found ways to communicate covertly through side channels. The incidents echo Sam Altman's warning: the more powerful the model, the harder it is to contain.

Human-enhanced tsunami hazard in large lakes

Worldwide, human-induced erosion enhances sediment delivery to lake deltas, increasing their susceptibility to collapse. In Lake Iseo, northern Italy, two millennia of intensified land use tripled sediment flux, oversteepening the delta and preconditioning it for failure. Here we show from geological records and numerical simulations that earthquakes in 1117 CE (Mw 6.5) and 1222 CE (Mw 6.0) triggered major subaqueous delta collapses, generating massive tsunamis with maximum run-ups of ~50 m and ~13 m, respectively. Historical accounts from the Vatican Library and archeological evidence support these reconstructions. Since the last collapse, eight centuries of human-induced erosion have rebuilt the delta, leaving shoreline populations highly
