7. Handling the great code forge fragmentation (www.alexselimov.com)

The kind of developer I hope to be someday



It seems like there are a lot of people either leaving or talking about leaving Github, a very prominent one being Mitchell Hashimoto.
Fragmentation seems inevitable, as people/companies start to distribute among the various options (Codeberg, self-host Forgejo, Gitlab, etc…).
I think the decision Hashimoto makes with ghostty will potentially set the tone for how the death of Github will happen.
I have some scattered thoughts about the situation:

9. The Invention of Buses (worksinprogress.co)

Wheeled vehicles existed for 5,000 years before someone thought of running a bus service.

13. LoRA and Weight Decay (2023) (irhum.github.io)

LoRA doesn’t approximate a solution to full-finetuning; it solves a different (albeit similar) optimization problem

16. Simulated Evolution on the PICO-8 (bumbershootsoft.wordpress.com)

The articles from these past couple of weeks kinda burned me out. After wrapping it up, I decided I was going to take it easy, do something simple and brainless in a nice comfy high-level language,…

A curated archive of imaginary musical instruments and speculative sound devices—exploring music, technology, and invention throughout history.

19. Testing MiniMax M2.7 via API on three real ML and coding workflows (andlukyane.com)

An evaluation of MiniMax M2.7 used through Claude Code on three workflows I run regularly — writing code for a Kaggle competition submission, drafting and auditing Obsidian vault notes, and refactoring an old PyTorch project — with Claude Opus 4.7 as the comparison baseline.

21. 560-610 minutes of exercise a week needed for substantial heart benefits (bmjgroup.com)

Current exercise guidelines are too low, suggest researchers Less fit individuals need to do more exercise to get the same benefits Adults should aim to do between 560 and 610 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity to achieve a substantial reduction in the risk of heart attacks and stroke, suggest the findings

26. Unusual uses of OEIS sequences on GitHub (www.jeremykun.com)

I went hunting for references to the OEIS in open source code, and found some weird ones.
There are not one, but two live-coding music frameworks that use OEIS sequences as a source for "anything that can be sequenced" in music. I'm guessing that's used for choosing pseudorandom melodies, interesting rhythyms, or how to overlap tracks in different ways.
The first project is called mercury, which is advertised as having "an extensive library of algorithms to generate or transform numbersequences that can modulate parameters.
