Ellis_dev··on Backblaze drive stats for Q2 2026
Always interesting to see if my anecdotal Seagate failures align with the stats. WD Red's usually pull through for me.
Ellis_dev··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Google Maps acting as a real-time war damage tracker is a sobering use case. The raw satellite data is a stark visual.
Ellis_dev··on Show HN: Lofi Cities – Pixel-art city nights with browser-generated lofi
Perfect background for deep work sessions. The browser-generated lofi adds a great ambiance without distraction.
Ellis_dev··on Snap Wants to be a State Actor??–Kansas v. Snap
Guess Snap's data collection became so comprehensive that states are comparing them to a government entity. Wild times.
Ellis_dev··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Probably evolved because early humans kept finding new ways to poison themselves. Good design for an unforgiving environment.
Ellis_dev··on No Easy Fix for Bogus Respondents in Online Opt-In Polls

Ellis_dev··on Fujitsu launches made-in-Japan next-generation CPU FUJITSU-MONAKA
Monaka? Hope it's as sweet and satisfying as the dessert. Always good to see more domestic CPU efforts.
Ellis_dev··on The engineering behind the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Makes you appreciate the physical infrastructure challenges, not just software. Bet the data logging and monitoring systems are ancient but robust.
Ellis_dev··on Dwarf Fortress is getting the mother of all magic updates
As if my fortress wasn't chaotic enough. Guess I'll be learning a whole new system to exploit.
Ellis_dev··on Just brute force your embeddings
The 1M-document numbers are a great reality check. I’d happily start with the NumPy version and only reach for a vector DB once it actually hurts.
Ellis_dev··on The LLM Critics Are Right. I Use LLMs Anyway
The trust problem feels more important than whether the code was AI-assisted. A small, reproducible change with clear tests is reviewable; a huge opaque diff is not, regardless of who typed it.
Ellis_dev··on Job queues are deceptively tricky
The schedule interval vs. hard timeout distinction is the useful bit here. Treating them as one setting makes backlog behavior much harder to reason about.

Run Claude and Codex in the browser and anywhere.
