The article announces the release of yard-timekeeper v0.1.0, a RubyGem designed to eliminate timestamp-only churn in generated YARD HTML documentation that is checked into git repositories. The tool works by comparing ne…

Mutation testing is a white-box testing method where developers intentionally introduce small bugs, or "mutants," into source code to evaluate the effectiveness of their test suite. If a test fails after a mutation is in…

The article summarizes tests of Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) on Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B models using a 16GB RTX 4080 GPU. For the 27B model, MTP at a draft depth of 2 provided a 67% speed increase (75 t/s) but halved the us…

This article describes the creation of "wake up! 16b," a 16-byte x86 assembly program released at the Outline Demoparty in May 2026. The program simultaneously generates an infinite Sierpinski fractal on screen and produ…
