I've had ideas rattling around in my head for a while but not quite hitting coherence.
What does a "rich terminal" mean to you as a developer? We're in a really weird place right now with regards to UI and UX, with chat as a normal mode of operation being everywhere, yet we're constrained to two major paradigms: the terminal user interface, and the instant message. Both come with really weird limits to their affordances.
And there's prior art here — light table, jupyter notebooks, observable hq, rich REPLs — but they're usually this weird hybrid of not quite transcript not quite live program that I find somewhere between unsettling and frustrating.
I do however think it's well past time we abandoned monospaced type as the core way we think about source code, and at the same time, built better user interfaces than that allows, without going full "this is a program with its own interface”
It's weird uncharted territory.

"Lam has lived in the Sunset for three decades and said the conventional wisdom in city politics — that Westside Chinese residents were up in arms against it — was inaccurate. 'The opinions that have been expressed by the community about the Great Highway actually don’t represent mine. Turning it into a park is fine. I don’t use it much anyway.'"

Chinese seniors are using AI translation to flex their political muscle in S.F.
"People keep talking about freedom of speech in America, but they can’t even understand what we are saying."

Fascinating leak: YGGtorrent, France's largest public torrent tracker with 6.6M users, has been fully compromised.

This is a cute mind-map/corkboard take on vibe coding.

…everyone there was white. •Everyone•. This particular park would usually be more white than not, but…this was weird.
There’s officially a city prohibition on ICE setting foot in city parks, but who knows what that’s worth? Those bastards will do anything if they think they can get away with it. And they’ll grab people right off the streets if they’re falling behind quota for the day. Who’d risk that?
ICE had apparently succeeded turning the park into all-white world they dreamed of. It was…creepy.

ZOR filters: fast and smaller than fuse filters

Abstract: Probabilistic membership filters support fast approximate membership queries with a controlled false-positive probability $\varepsilon$ and are widely used across storage, analytics, networking, and bioinformatics \cite{chang2008bigtable,dayan2018optimalbloom,broder2004network,harris2020improved,marchet2023scalable,chikhi2025logan,hernandez2025reindeer2}. In the static setting, state-of-the-art designs such as XOR and fuse filters achieve low overhead and very fast queries, but their peeling-based construction succeeds only with high probability, which complicates deterministic builds \cite{graf2020xor,graf2022binary,ulrich2023taxor}.
We introduce \emph{ZOR filters}, a deterministic continuation of XOR/fuse filters that guarantees construction termination while preserving the same XOR-based query mechanism. ZOR replaces restart-on-failure with deterministic peeling that abandons a small fraction of keys, and restores false-positive-only semantics by storing the remainder in a compact auxiliary structure. In our experiments, the abandoned fraction drops below $1\%$ for moderate arity (e.g., $N\ge 5$), so the auxiliary handles a negligible fraction of keys. As a result, ZOR filters can achieve overhead within $1\%$ of the information-theoretic lower bound $\log_2(1/\varepsilon)$ while retaining fuse-like query performance; the additional cost is concentrated on negative queries due to the auxiliary check. Our current prototype builds several-fold slower than highly optimized fuse builders because it maintains explicit incidence information during deterministic peeling; closing this optimisation gap is an engineering target.
