Sora 2

Having watched this morning's Sora 2 introduction video, the most notable feature (aside from audio generation - original Sora was silent, Google's Veo 3 supported audio in May 2025) looks to be what OpenAI are calling "cameos" - the ability to easily capture a video version...

Designing agentic loops

Coding agents like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly exercise the code they are writing, correct errors, dig through existing implementation detai...

Symposium toezicht AIVD en MIVD 29 September & Rowin Jansen

Gisteren promoveerde Rowin Jansen aan de Radboud Universiteit op zijn proefschrift “Toezicht op de AIVD en de MIVD”. Rowin arriveerde een aantal jaren geleden prominent in de scene rond de inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten, en ik kan wel zeggen dat we gelijk een beetje verliefd op hem waren. Met zijn tomeloze inzet, een snel groeiende kennisbasis, enorme interesse en ook nog eens een prettige omgang was het duidelijk: van Rowin gaan we nog meer horen.

AI influencer deal offer

If the size of the current AI bubble can be estimated by how many

  • AI job offers
  • AI product review offers
  • AI service paid sponsorship offers
  • AI creator representation offers

I receive per day... then I'd say we're nearing the pop.

There is no way the trillions of dollars of valuation placed on AI companies can be backed by any amount of future profit.

The Software Essays that Shaped Me

I started reading software blogs before I got my first programming job 20 years ago. At this point, I’ve read thousands of blog posts and essays about software, but only a small handful stuck in my mind and changed the way I think. “The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code”...

The Emancipation of the Chris Gaines of Mimi

Anyone who knows me know that I love the esoteric, confusing and complicated aspects of pop music's greatest artists. When a Garth Brooks goes on a detour to become Chris Gaines? I'm there. So, for decades, I've been a bit obsessed with Mariah Carey's long-lost side project ...

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is probably the "best coding model in the world" (at least for now)

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.5 today, with a very bold set of claims: Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the best coding model in the world. It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It’s the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains in reasoning and...

Armin Ronacher: 90%

Armin Ronacher: 90% The idea of AI writing "90% of the code" to-date has mostly been expressed by people who sell AI tooling. Over the last few months, I've increasingly seen the same idea come coming much more credible sources. Armin is the creator of a bewildering array of...

Not all OCuLink eGPU docks are created equal

Not all OCuLink eGPU docks are created equal

I recently tried using the Minisforum DEG1 GPU Dock with a Raspberry Pi 500+, using an M.2 to OCuLink adapter, and this chenyang SFF-8611 Cable.

After figuring out there's a power button on the DEG1 (which needs to be turned on), and after fiddling around with the switches on the PCB (hidden under the large metal plate on the bottom; TGX to OFF was the most important setting), I was able to get the Raspberry Pi's PCIe bus to at least tell the graphics card installed in the eGPU dock to spin up its fans and initialize.

But I wasn't able to get any output from the card (using this Linux kernel patch), and lspci did not show it. (Nor were there any logs showing errors in dmesg).

Welcoming CERN to Have I Been Pwned

It's hard to explain the significance of CERN. It's the birthplace of the World Wide Web and the home of the largest machine ever built, the Large Hadron Collider. The bit that's hard to explain is, well, I mean, look at it!

Running Software on Software You’ve Never Run

I love a good look at modern practices around semantic versioning and dependency management (Rick Hickey’s talk “Spec-ulation” is the canonical one I think of). Niki recently wrote a good ‘un at tonsky.me called “We shouldn’t have needed lockfiles”. What struck me was this p...

Quoting Scott Aaronson

Given a week or two to try out ideas and search the literature, I’m pretty sure that Freek and I could’ve solved this problem ourselves. Instead, though, I simply asked GPT5-Thinking. After five minutes, it gave me something confident, plausible-looking, and (I could tell) ...
