Life hack: Using muse.ai to organize your Mendeley papers.

I've been vibe-hacking away on nvdisasm-re... Demo: huggingface.co/spaces/ejsch... Super complicated semantics coverage report: raw.githack.com/edmcman/nvdi...

blog.ploeh.dk/2026/10/12/r... I've also slowly transitioned from reading LLM-written code to focusing on tests and verification.

github.com/edmcman/nvdi... now has a SASS disassembler. More impressively, it actually wrote a script to generate SLEIGH from the nvdisasm tables. Most instructions only have data flow p-code semantics so far. I'm sad/excited to say that AI has surpassed my own personal capabilities.

Claude code with opus 5.5 medium and my fork of Ghidra MCP reverse engineered `nvdisasm` and extracted its internal tables for SASS instructions in about 10 minutes. What a wild world we live in. github.com/edmcman/nvdi... Next up: Can we generate SLEIGH modules?

I've been playing around with a light-weight dynamic decompiler verification: huggingface.co/spaces/ejsch...

I'm really enjoying the "Statistical Rethinking" course/book. It should be required reading for all researchers. oceanrep.geomar.de/id/eprint/55... github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Well I'll be. NDSS is moving from San Diego! www.internetsociety.org/blog/2026/06...

Harbor's hub now lets you upload benchmark runs, which is pretty neat. Here's an example run from the auto-bench blogs I've been writing: hub.harborframework.com/jobs/4149711... You can view each run and its trajectory: hub.harborframework.com/jobs/4149711...

github.com/QwenLM/Qwen3... Something is wrong when outsiders need to reverse engineer how you are getting your published benchmarks.

Congratulations to Dr Luke Dramko (my lucky 13th PhD graduate!) for his successful and stellar defense yesterday of “Neural Decompilation with Minimal Risk.” The last chapter isn’t published yet but STAY TUNED because it’s a symbolic approach for proving the fidelity of neurally-decompiled code. 1/

Ubuntu is being ddosed and their repositories are down. Bad news if you need apt because you want to build a devcontainer or run your CI!

I really wish there was a leaderboard for GGUFs on swe-bench or something similar...

www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/c... AI providers are beginning to slow down their subsidies on LLM usage. For now, it is only external agents like Opencode. But LLM access as a subscription model is a loss leader. All these vibe coders are going to be very upset when they have to pay per token.

I designed my first real part! www.printables.com/model/162187... No, I don't really know what I'm doing. Yes, it is satisfying anyway!

TIL about pypi-timemachine. You're welcome. (You know, for those 10-year old research projects without lock files)

snap: When you only care about 90% of your apps to work. It's been years. Why do major snaps (firefox!) still have usability issues?!

We live in such a wild time. theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

openai.com/index/harnes... "What’s become clear: building software still demands discipline, but the discipline shows up more in the scaffolding rather than the code. The tooling, abstractions, and feedback loops that keep the codebase coherent are increasingly important."

x.com/mrexodia/sta... I concur with most of this advice on vibe coding.
