โจ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News ๐ ๐ **Category**: ๐ **What Youโll Learn**: Throughout my career, I feel like Iโve done a pretty decent job of staying top of new developments in the industry: attending conferences, following (and later befriending!) some of the very smart people writing the specs, being the one sharing news on Slack about exciting new features of CSS or JS with my colleagues. The joys of working on an internal tool where you only need to worry about latest Chrome, and playing with anchor positioning in a production app while itโs still experimental!…

**What Youโll Learn**: Reverse Engineering the PROM for the SGI O2 Since the early 2000s, the potential for upgrading the CPU in the Silicon Graphics O2 with a 900 MHz RM7900 has been blocked by the inability to modify the PROM firmware. To that end, I built ip32prom-decompiler, a program that decompiles the PROM into sources that can be reassembled into a bit-identical image. The decompiler goes to great lengths to produce assembly that is understandable and modifiable by replacing known constants, recognizing and replacing memory addresses with…

**What Youโll Learn**: A friend of mine recently attended an open forum panel about how engineering orgs can better support their engineers. The themes that came up were not surprising: Sacrificing quality makes it hard to feel proud of the work. No acknowledgement of current velocity. If we sprint to deliver, the expectation becomes to keep sprinting, forever. I've been hearing variations of this for a while now, but now I'm also hearing and agreeing with "AI doesn't always speed us up". "AI did it for me"…

LLM usage has seen a meteoric rise in the past year, but there is still a significant gap between agentic innovation and its use in the real world. This is especially true for underserved industries like automotive and healthcare, where outdated systems persist due to barriers to entry, legacy software, and high-stakes consequences of hallucinations and failure. Here at Toma (YC W24), we are bridging this gap by providing a customer-centric platform to deploy and monitor…

**What Youโll Learn**: Nice one, right, beauty! What a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of GTA, even though I am a day late to the celebration, having all three games remastered on such a day is nothing short of respect. This version may even rival the MAX PACK by Toshiba-3. I have not played all the way through this version of the 2D trilogy, but it all looked good to me from the outside and among the few things I messed around with in-game. I love the…
