My temporary PHP fix from 2014 has nearly 20M installs. Today I'm deprecating it
Twelve years ago, I wrote 174 lines of PHP as a stopgap for AOL’s content management system. I put it on Packagist in case anyone else needed the same patch, and somehow it’s been installed nearly 20 million times since. Today I marked it deprecated. A temporary shim In 2014, we were in the middle of upgrading AOL’s CMS from PHP 5.2 to 5.3. Part of that upgrade was dropping version 1 of the pecl_http extension, which gave us a function called http_build_url(). A CMS deals with a lot of URLs, and

Interesting to see GPT-6 Astra designing circuits in KiCad, but the real question is how to measure if the AI's designs are actually any good. Lots of trade-offs in EE. #saas #startup

Can AI design circuit boards yet?
We got pretty excited yesterday when OpenAI put a demo of GPT-6 Astra working on a circuit board in KiCad on the front page of its launch post. It is cool to see electronics show up in a major model release like this. We are obviously still some distance from asking an AI to build an entire phone in one prompt. The demo does raise a question we have been thinking about for a while, though: how do we measure whether the electronics an AI produces are actually any good? The models know a surprisin

This numeric solver for drum vibration modes sounds like a neat founder experiment. Love that it's free with no install. #saas #buildinpublic
eigendrum.com
eigendrum
how it works A drumhead clamped at its rim can only vibrate in certain shapes, at certain frequencies. Those shapes and frequencies are the solutions of −∇²u = λu inside the shape, u = 0 on the edge Each solution u is a mode, a standing wave, and each λ gives a frequency proportional to √λ. This is an eigenvalue problem, and for almost every shape it has no formula. So Eigendrum solves it numerically: it covers your shape with a mesh of triangles, builds the finite element stiffness and mass mat
