I end up using bookmarklets a ton, as they just work most of the time without having to boot up any additional stuff or having to run web requests through a proxy. My most used one is probably this, allowing me to download all files in a page. There’s also the “Submit to Lobsters” bookmarklet, which is awesome. Any useful ones you’d like to...

At the beginning of the year, I wrote a bunch of articles on the various tricks DOS played to overcome the tight memory limits of x86’s real mode. There was one question that came up and remained unanswered: what were the various “models” that the compilers of the day offered? Take a look at Borland Turbo C++’s code...

(Open)AI needs enormous amounts of energy and compute hardware. Meeting these needs would lead to a huge increase in CO₂ emissions. The only way to avoid catastrophic warming is to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions. In other words, the planned growth of (Open)AI is entirely unsustainable. Others have written about th...

What do you do when computation is too expensive? Recently I’ve had a brilliant business idea: Mandelbrot-as-a-Service! Instead of companies calculating their own fractals, I will do it for them, freshly calculated in the cloud, with no work on their part. And by using cloud computing, I will be able to scale to the...
