Nine more lessons from my 3D book about energy, now covering the whole GCSE energy topic: kinetic, gravitational and elastic energy, heating, power, efficiency, energy resources and conservation of energy. Built with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. The full book ↓
Education doesn’t have to be text and flat diagrams. So I’m building a 3D book about energy that students can play with: 10 lessons to predict, test and prove. Built with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. Try Lesson 1, Energy stores: everyday objects and where their energy is kept ↓

Posted slides for my talk "Getting a subroutine right: a case study" today: cr.yp.to/talks.html#2026.10.… The case study I picked for the talk is integer sorting. The broader point is the multifaceted engineering benefit of limiting data flow from inputs to branches and array indices.

Europe’s founders need a European standard to compete globally from day one. Europe’s leaders committed to delivering one. But their teams are negotiating away the very things that make it one. There is still time to change course if Europe's Heads of State step in now.

Once in a while you stumble upon true weapons-grade autism that makes everyone else look like LARPers. Incredible work.

the worst part of lock-free C++ is realising a mutex would’ve solved this three days ago. but now there’s an ABA problem, a reclamation scheme and a design doc with my name on it. at this point the main thing we’re protecting is my reputation.

All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.

I use models for software engineering a lot. And as long as the workflow is "plan, let human review the plan carefully, implement, let human review implementation a bit", the results are great, particularly in terms of speed. But man, if you *don't* examine what you're doing...
