Web-LLM is a high-performance in-browser LLM inference engine. Running models locally in the browser removes the need to send prompts to a server and opens up offline or privacy-sensitive use cases.

This article introduces ImHex by reverse engineering FEZ's save file format. ImHex has become one of the best hex editors I have found recently, and the pattern matching features are particularly useful for decomposing binary files.

This video really encapsulates my life as a Linux admin at this point in time.

I think I'm going to buy this! A walkable ASCII cyberpunk city rendered in a single HTML file.

This was a really progressive resolution, you can't please everyone - the smartest people I know lean into this technology. I think this will ultimately accelerate Debian and FOSS in general.

Bob might be getting an upgrade ...

binvis.io is a browser-based tool for visualizing binary files. It maps bytes to colors using space-filling curves and entropy visualization, making it easier to spot structure, compressed sections, and encrypted regions without uploading data to a server.

Tailcat is a netcat-style utility that runs over Tailscale's encrypted data plane without needing Tailscale's control plane. It is useful for point-to-point connectivity in environments where the full Tailscale coordination server is not practical.

Nvidia has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face, the open-source AI model hub, for $12.9 billion. The acquisition would extend Nvidia's influence from silicon into the platform layer and give it a stronger position in cloud services.

Z.ai is releasing its Ox Alpha reasoning model under an open-source license as GLM-5.3-Flash. The move puts another high-performance open-weight model into circulation as the release cadence from Chinese labs and their partners continues to accelerate.

Same base model, better training: GLM-5.3 turns post-training alone into a claimed 50% coding boost—and an unsettling leap in end-to-end cyber exploitation.

Look out, Claude! Another multi-trillion-parameter open-weight model from China is landing, this one geared for coding.

A sharp defence of PKM: tools like Obsidian don't create knowledge; they give people a place to do it.

A dizzying vision of agent swarms, self-rewriting workflows and post-human CI/CD. I found it thoroughly confusing, but there may be gold here once it clicks.

A Microsoft Research visualization language that helps AI agents turn compact, human-editable specifications into polished charts across Vega-Lite, ECharts and Chart.js.

A great blog post that mirrors some of my feelings about AI export controls and how they relate to U.S. cryptographic export controls from 25 years ago.
