Our world, human experience, and even our hardware are all asynchronous and reactive by nature. By following this nature, our software should also be reactive and asynchronous. Check out this great video by @davefarley77 on reactive systems: piped.video/watch?v=Ysn6eInA…

The 3 Supreme Kings

Deep learning is often taught as a sanitized collection of facts and math. But work at the frontier of AI is messy and empirical. Our new class, Deep Learning Alchemy, aims to teach the art and science of deep learning in the hands-on spirit of Language Modeling From Scratch. Students build intuition by running experiments on small LMs, then test it through prediction quizzes: given an unseen code diff, can you predict what happens? deep-learning-alchemy.github… My co-instructor @kothasuhas and I think there's significant demand for classes that treat students as serious learners who want to be assessed for what they’ve learned, and so we're trying a new exam-heavy approach to the class (7 exams, 85% of the grade, with the remaining 15% in-person discussion assessments). We’ve designed the class so students can use AI agents to run their experiments and do their assignment, but they then have to demonstrate that mastery on exams without access to the assignment, and any partial credit on the exam has to come through citations to the assignment, incentivizing them to know what’s in their write-up. The same assignments and quizzes are public for anyone to try (lecture recordings will be released through @StanfordOnline with some delay). We have some very fun assignments and quizzes covering both classic topics (like NQM, run-to-run stochasticity, and scaling laws) and new and timely topics like muP or hyperball. Made by some real experts like @TristanThrush and @wen_kaiyue Try some quizzes below!

You learn to write the same way you learn to program: by reading a lot of good work. Developers should read the classics too: mtsoukalos.eu/2026/10/develo… #BooksWorthReading #BookRecommendations

I will just drop this here: stat.yale.edu/~pollard/Books… (Probability Tools, Tricks and Miracles). Unconditional fan of Pollard's writings! Wow, just wow! (Even if I don't believe in miracles.)

About @AnthropicAI's latest cybersecurity report

Pure goldmine for performance engineering. I’ve been going through Algorithmica’s HPC series, and the CPU cache section is especially good. It breaks down things like cache latency, memory access patterns, pointer chasing, prefetching, and what’s actually happening under the hood. If you care about writing faster software, bookmark this. en.algorithmica.org/hpc/cpu-…

You cannot add to a void pointer in C. The compiler does not know the size. The everyday fix is to cast it to char* so the math is in bytes, then multiply by the element size yourself. Stanford CS107, lecture 4

Attention is a lookup. Each token builds a query, compares it against every key in the sequence, and pulls value vectors weighted by the match. Stack that 96 layers deep and you get a frontier model. Video covers the full pipeline: Q/K/V, attention scores, encoder blocks.

Farmer in China spent 16 years studying Law so he could sue a chemical company that had polluted his land and he won the case

He was right ya know.

The write-ahead log (WAL) is both how databases commit fast and how they safely recover from crashes. Outside of B-trees, it's probably the most important structure in Postgres and MySQL. (it's called the "redo log" in MySQL-land)

People say that it doesn't make sense to start a new project in C++ nowadays, given the existence of Rust and Zig. Here are some modern and active open-source C++ projects: 1. Ladybird (browser) 2. Hyprland (tiling window manager) 3. ArcticDB (high-performance time-series DB) 4. ClickHouse (real-time analytics DB) 5. BlazingMQ (high-performance message queue)
