Pi, Earendil’s code assistant, went from rejecting MCP on its blog to building it into the product’s core. That reversal is the excuse to explain in depth what the protocol is, how it evolved, and why agent tools keep adopting it.

WebGL instancing lets you draw hundreds of thousands of identical objects with a single GPU draw call. This article uses Space Now, the asteroid visualizer from Belle Lune 2, as a case study to explain the technique with Three.js code examples.

Every so often someone swears their favorite AI model ‘just isn’t as good anymore.’ LiveNerf turns that suspicion into a daily measurement, with a calibrated panel and real statistics, and this article explains the method so you can build your own.

A police trial in London scanned 500,000 faces and produced a single false positive. That number is the gateway to understanding how facial recognition accuracy is measured: the similarity threshold, the FAR and FRR metrics, and why adjusting it is a design decision, not a minor detail.

Streaming from a PS5 to Twitch depends on a simple DNS resolution that the console never verifies with certificates. This article explains the RTMP protocol and the DNS spoofing technique used to redirect that traffic to your own server, using a real PS5 streaming hack as a practical case study.

GrapheneOS isolates every app with layers that go beyond standard Android: hardened malloc, Storage Scopes, a per-app Internet permission, and a sandboxed Google Play. That same protection explains why some apps, like Osmand, feel slower on GrapheneOS than on regular Android.

A developer searched Google for an old basketball meme and got a response meant to comfort him over a breakup that never happened. The case exposes a structural problem with generative AI search engines: when retrieval pulls the wrong context, the model writes an equally confident answer, whether it’s true or not.

A genetic algorithm evolves a virtual car, bit by bit, until it learns to park without crashing. The article explains genome, fitness, selection, crossover, and mutation with code examples and hand-calculated outputs.
