ucyo··on Earth is tearing apart beneath the Pacific Northwest
This is such a nice topic for visualisations, but not a single drawing or visual explanation. That’s unfortunate. The main pic is impressive but without context it’s disappointing a bit
ucyo··on An open letter to Dario: if you mean it, open the weights
How do you enforce this though? How do you prevent any citizen from using foreign services eg using a VPN?

Just asking for a friend (“shut up Netflix, I already asked”)

ucyo··on Oscar Winner Brings Monsters to Life with His Simulation Software
For such a visual topic it’s a lotta text I have to say. Would have expected more comparisons and performance data to be honest..
ucyo··on The hardest working font in Manhattan (2025)
More like "The hardest website your browser will work on" ... will come back once it loads
ucyo··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Just put the following to your `.config/sandboxy/agents/pi.json`

{ "allowedHosts": [ ".anthropic.com", ".claude.com", ".pi.dev", "npm.org", ".npmjs.org", ".github.com", ".githubusercontent.com", ".pypi.org", ".pythonhosted.org" ], "baseImage": "docker.io\/library\/node:22", "displayName": "Pi", "environmentVariables": [ "IS_SANDBOX=1" ], "installCommands": [ "npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent", "npm install -g global-agent" ], "launchCommand": [ "pi" ], "mounts": [ { "containerPath": "\/root\/.pi", "hostPath": "~\/.pi", "readOnly": false } ] }⏎

ucyo··on The Tower Keeps Rising
Would be interesting to see an example. I heard a couple times that code maturance is very similar on how a city grows naturally, but never seen an example.
ucyo··on Y Combinator's Stake in OpenAI (0.6%?)
Sam Altman was president of Y Combinator from 2014 to 2019. of course YC has a stake in OpenAI. My surprise is why it is that low…
ucyo··on Kotlin creator's new language: a formal way to talk to LLMs instead of English
Literally the first example on the main page declared as code.py would result in an indentation error :)
ucyo··on Xbox UI Portfolio Site
Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.
ucyo··on Pony: An actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language
There is a nice Podcast about choosing the right programming language for a project and in this, the final choice is relevant to this post :)

ucyo··on Lianas are taking over the rainforests, and it's visible from space
Came here for this … “Big foot caught on camera!!” - all text article …
ucyo··on The software you need for holiday overdecoration
Waking up in the middle of the night to pee will be the icing on the cake for the neighbours
ucyo··on The software you need for holiday overdecoration
Oh nice. Thanks for the hint. It seems like a good starting point.
ucyo··on The software you need for holiday overdecoration
Fire safety rules are a good point. Wasn’t thinking about that aspect. But using outdoor compliant lights and hanging from frames outsides could be an option. Guess it would be an interesting start
ucyo··on The software you need for holiday overdecoration
Are there any good examples for apartments? I am interested in doing similar stuff, but don’t own a house. Seems like all examples are from houses…
ucyo··on 47-year-old Voyager 1 fired up thrusters it hasn't used in decades
Does anyone know what the reference points are for the rotation manoeuvres? The text does not provide any information on how the probe knows that it is off. It needs some kind of reference, no?
ucyo··on Online 3D Viewer for FreeCAD files
I something similar for climate data, but loading data from a different site was not possible due to CORS. How is CORS not a problem with this setup? @app4soft: Did you allow all origins? Isn’t this a security issue?

ucyo··on Street Fighter II paper trails – allocating sprite space by hand
Yes. Check out succinct data structures. They are closely related to compression algorithms. The above mentioned compression algorithms (incl. Entropy and all LZ variants) need a decompression step. They might try to improve the decompression speed by chunking and sacrifice storage space, but decompression is needed. This is unrelated to how they remove redundant information from the data (e.g. using pointers). Succinct data structures try to avoid decompression at all. Again, at the cost of storage space but some operations can be done on the succinct data directly as it is on disk.
ucyo··on MacBook Pro 16" 2019 Teardown
Only the TXXXs models come with soldered memory. I can easily change memory, SSD, keyboard etc on my T470.
