Upgrading from OpenBSD 7.9 to 8.0 is just too easy now. I miss having to print out the FAQ, grab the install ramdisks, merge /etc manually, and pray to the BSD gods for driver rain

The directed graph of voting results for LLM usage is very Debian (and perhaps something applicable to mainstream voting on complex issues!) vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_llm

GeoTessera 0.10 is out now, a year after our first release! Highlights: switches to the Source.coop for hosting, adds support for v2 beta (with matryoshka), and much better Zarr streaming support (see tze.geotessera.org for this in the browser). anil.recoil.org/notes/geotessera-a-…

@edwintorok I particularly enjoy how it never seems to have any useful metadata in the sidebar

We've released the Tessera v1.1 geospatial foundation model, with wider coastal coverage, improved sparse observation accuracy and greater year-on-year temporal stability. Read more at anil.recoil.org/notes/tessera-v11-o… There's going to be a full […] [Original post on amok.recoil.org]

So very sad to hear of the passing of Peter Neumann. He was an epic pioneer in computer science, but also such a wonderfully cheerful, supportive person at any hour. This was an example of a typical email exchange with him to grab coffee, in an age before AI […] [Original post on amok.recoil.org]

.plan-26-w10: Streaming TESSERA embeddings straight into the browser with wasm is ridiculously good fun. Release next week if I can get enough oxcaml written to finish the transcoding of embeddings into Zarr! Never thought I'd enjoy frontend coding so much... anil.recoil.org/notes/2026w10

Made the cover of @ACM with "A Decade of Docker Containers", recapping much systems work! Docker grew so fast in those early days that we never got a chance to write an academic paper about it, so this has been a long time coming […] [Original post on amok.recoil.org]

Wow I added support for text/markdown format responses to agents on my website, and within less than 10 minutes one quarter of requests are agents. E.g. anil.recoil.org/notes/2026w7 is the html and anil.recoil.org/notes/2026w7.md is the text version

Just published GeoTessera to pypi, a simple CLI interface and library to our new geospatial foundation model. If you want to play with some gloriously fun satellite tech, instructions at anil.recoil.org/notes/geotessera-py… -- Python now, OxCaml version coming next!
