Last week I wrote a post on hiding cryptographic keys in decks of cards. I wrote some code for that post that shouldn’t work, but before fixing I noticed that it in fact did work. The code computes logarithms for integers larger than the largest representable float. For example, the largest float is on the […]

Proxmox today announced their Proxmox Virtual Environment is now available for 64-bit ARM.
I tested it on my Ampere Altra Dev Platform—the same machine on which I've booted Windows on Arm the first time, messed with multiple GPUs, and most recently tested Houdini's native arm64 support.
Install was easy, as the Ampere Altra uses UEFI / ACPI for its hardware, meaning Proxmox didn't have to tailor it's ISO to specific platforms, like you have to do with Raspberry Pis and most SBCs using a Device Tree setup.

A few days ago I wrote a post on counting rooted trees. That post looked at the sequence c(n) which counts the number of rooted trees with n nodes. Here one node is distinguished as the root, but the nodes below the root are not distinguished from each other; all that matters is how the […]

The good folks at Thermal Master have sent me another Thermal Camera to review. The last one was a big beastie with a huge touchscreen. This one is much smaller and is designed to plug into your phone's USB-C port. The T2 Max is a chunky little camera - but doesn't weight too much. The USB-C connector is long enough to securely plug in even if your phone is wearing a case. Thermal Master…

Release: condense-json 1.1
After shipping condense-json 1.0 I started integrating it into LLM, and found there were some desirable new features already:
- Replacements object can now include values other than strings. These will be identified and used as structural replacements by
condense_json()anduncondense_json(). #8- Objects can be used as the basis for merge operations.
condense_json()will identify if there are objects that are a close match and will store instructions for keys to update or delete.uncondense_json()can then apply these merges.
I also added some round-trip tests using the Hypothesis property-based Python testing library.
