2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.
It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

Collaboration tools are one of the things where technologists like myself think we understand the problem-space; We really do not, at all.

Hi @PullJosh
I was writing some code to remove iframes from my RSS feed and Github copilot suggested some code which is from one of your sites I think. 😄
I haven't figured out why, but if you plot z = y * sin(x), it looks all wavy until you make your graph polar, at which point it becomes a perfectly flat disk.

Just read this article by @nandafyi about how to build a tokenizer. I love the interactive demos! Super useful for wrapping my head around things.

I've been student teaching for two weeks. There are 1,000,000 things I could be doing better, but I can't fix everything all at once.
What should be my top priorities in the early days, to help me go from drowning to competent?

I absolutely love the service Vercel offers. They are by far the most pleasant web host I’ve ever used, and the free tier is incredible.
but
For a long time it has felt like they are starting to become a monopoly in the web dev space. At what point does this turn sour for devs?
Vercel is now the official hosting partner for the JavaScript web framework Astro.
Astro sites on Vercel can now take advantage of Middleware, Image Optimization, and improved code splitting for Functions.

Prompt injection keeps getting wilder. Unlike text-based methods, you can't tell by looking at one of these images or audio clips that it's malicious. It can be embedded in a website/email attachment and will alter the model's behavior if it processes it.

Idea: Create an AI system that can take two versions of a codebase and intelligently merge them into a single, functional repository. Basically, an AI that handles merge conflicts.

I’ve started posting all my project ideas on my website. I can’t create everything I dream up, but at least writing them down feels like channeling the creative energy somewhere!
