TL;DR summary of stories on the internet
DisplayPort is a powerful interface that has become more ubiquitous and versatile than people realize. It was designed to replace VGA and DVI and has all the capabilities of HDMI but without legacy issues. DisplayPort sends data in packets, making it more flexible than other interfaces. It also has cool features like Multi-Stream Transport (MST) […]

Physicist Jonathan Oppenheim from University College London is challenging the commonly held belief that gravity must be quantized. For almost a century, physicists have attempted to create a unified theory of gravity and quantum mechanics by quantizing gravity, but have not yet succeeded. Oppenheim believes that gravity cannot be squeezed into a quantum box and […]
libhamt is a C99 implementation of a hash array-mapped trie (HAMT), which is a data structure used to efficiently implement persistent associative arrays and sets. The implementation follows Bagwell’s 2000 paper with a focus on code clarity. The author noticed a lack of in-depth documentation for HAMTs beyond the original paper, so this document aims […]
ACME Client Configuration provides various methods for configuring web servers to utilize ACME client services. One option is Caddy, an all-in-one web server that allows for easy configuration using the Caddyfile. Another option is traefik, a cloud-native application proxy that can be configured using a certificatesResolvers block. Alternatively, cert-manager, a certificate automation tool for Kubernetes, […]
Brian Eno’s classic titles are now available in Dolby Atmos, providing an immersive and detailed listening experience. This includes his early solo work like Taking Tiger Mountain and Another Green World, as well as recent releases like Small Craft On A Milk Sea and The Ship, which will be presented as a live orchestral arrangement. […]
The author discusses the potential insecurity of 2048 bit RSA encryption after the year 2030 and suggests that the minimum secure length should be increased to 3072 bits. This prediction is based on the exponential growth of computing technology and factoring efficiency observed in recent years. However, the author argues that there are limitations to […]
This article discusses advanced image temporal upscaling and latency compensation techniques used in demanding applications, such as pathtracing, AR, and VR. The article explains three common methods: interpolation, extrapolation, and reprojection. Interpolation is used to calculate intermediate samples between two discrete samples, while extrapolation estimates samples beyond the input range. Reprojection, also known as warping, […]
GPT-4 is a massive model with over 10 times the size of GPT-3, boasting approximately 1.8 trillion parameters across 120 layers. OpenAI implemented a mixture of experts (MoE) model, utilizing 16 experts with about 111 billion parameters each. The routing algorithm for expert selection was allegedly simple compared to other advanced algorithms. GPT-4 was trained […]
Let’s Encrypt has announced a transition plan that will affect the compatibility of their certificates with Android devices. Previously, Let’s Encrypt had cross-signed their certificates with IdenTrust’s DST Root CA X3 to ensure widespread trust. However, as their own ISRG Root X1 became trusted on its own, they needed to make changes. Now, Let’s Encrypt […]
Immich is a high-performance self-hosted photo and video backup solution that is currently in active development. The project warns users to expect bugs and breaking changes and strongly advises against using the app as the sole storage for photos and videos. The official documentation, installation guides, and demo can be accessed on the Immich website. […]
