Nice way to improve the set -e output. I guess I'll use it in my next scripts.
Matrix.org - How we discovered, and recovered from, Postgres corruption on the matrix.org homeserver
Wow, this was a really bad index corruption indeed.
Running interesting models locally gets more and more accessible.
Interesting exploration about where the alphabet comes from. Interesting debate about the abjad vs alphabet classification in the comments as well.

Neat piece about the reactions when reading this (IMHO) very important book for the first time in 2025. Made me want to read it again!
ETH Zurich spearheading an effort for more ethical and cleaner open models. That's good research, looking forward to the results.

Better not trust ZIP files you receive...
OK... This is weird and funny. I definitely like the idea of an actor reading this important RFC aloud.
