  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@ubernostrum/116374532775532247 This was a great read. Thanks for writing this down. Actually thoughtful discourse on LLM use in programming.

  More fun-facts from the silicon world (TIL): PFETs and NFETs are in theory mirror images of each other because p-holes can be seen as carriers of current, instead of electrons themselves; however! in practice NFETs have higher transconductance because electrons have greater mobility than p-holes in silicon so NFETs are preferred for most designs.

  Work today. Referencing Lethal Trifecta helped design a better clean-room environment. An honest checklist of defenses. Thank you https://simonwillison.net for providing a vocabulary and mental reference point for agentic security

  til mmdr is a drop-in replacement for mmdc mermaid-cli compiler that does not require chromium and therefore removes a huge headache in my nix-darwin build tree

  A bit of a drive from Virginia but now here we are in Saint Louis.

  Another day trying to synthesize working legacy software integrations with agents. Good to have access to domain experts that can call the agent's bluff. I was not necessarily able to call it. Still not quite sure I got the intuition right on what's a circuit schematic vs what is a netlist and what is the crucial difference. But it will click soon I hope.

  Two tools at work are scriptable in TCL. This is going to be a fun computing history trip.

  Jupyterling - a little jupyter - born out of frustrations explaining the kernel state when teaching programming to my daughter - you can try it live https://t0yv0.github.io/jupyterling/ -- longer note in https://t0yv0.github.io/2026/03/20260307-jupyterling.html

  https://leodemoura.github.io/blog/2026/02/28/when-ai-writes-the-worlds-software.html what I keep thinking about Claude translating zlib to Lean and proving it correct is that the Lean translation was proved correct but the C library is in the one deployed. Subtle but important. System software sometimes has perf edges that are not captured by the proof model, or scientific software has convergence edges, so a rewrite is risky to deploy as it will break something even if it is mathematically more...

  @thumphries@hachyderm.io we are entering strange times for work ethics when routine intellectual work is largely automated... Novel results won't be but that was always hard and too unpredictable to sustain 9-6 commercial jobs. So as regards these jobs for AI operators, is it work or grift? Is human judgement really a nice and valuable touch or that's going to be automated also for 99%? What do we do next and what to do with our identity? Fun times. Good to be kind while we sort out new...
