a few things i'm working on or have shipped recently:
- books — the math inside the machine (how intelligence emerges from eleven simple operations) and this is server country (ai, power, and the remaking of rural america). author page on amazon.
- slopython — a "slop" experiment: iteratively evolving cpython with frontier llms to chase performance gains and see what breaks.
- linux uml redesign — rebuilding the linux user-mode-linux kernel from scratch, with notes.
- glaurung — a new ghidra. modern, scriptable, less crufty.
- nupunkt + charboundary — fast, deterministic sentence boundary detection for legal text.
- opengloss — open english lexical knowledge graph (537k senses, 9m semantic edges, generated end-to-end with llms in under a week for less than $1k).
- binary-30k + binary-bpe tokenizers — first heterogeneous binary-analysis dataset and tokenizers built for executables.
- parallel iliad: brainrot edition — a parallel greek-english reader of homer's iliad with ai-generated brainrot translations. genuinely useful, also genuinely cursed.
- moratorium nation — 113-page survey of 116 moratoria across 30 states targeting data centers, solar, wind, and batteries.
