ANEForge is a Python package that programs the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), the fixed-function neural accelerator on every recent Apple device, directly and without CoreML. In production the engine is reachable only through CoreML, which treats it as a scheduling option: no configuration requires the ANE, and a model can silently run on the CPU or GPU instead. ANEForge compiles a lazy tensor graph, built from 58 fused operators and 19 native bridg... Read more ›
A TypeScript frontend framework built on Effect-TS, using The Elm Architecture (TEA). Single state tree, pure update functions, explicit side effects, and type-safe routing. An alternative to React for teams that value correctness. Read more ›

We improve the performance of the lattice-based cryptosystem Dilithium on AVX2 and NEON by deeply exploiting its algorithmic properties, such as small coefficient bounds and high sparsity, with the distinct instruction-level profiles of the underlying architectures. On AVX2, we deploy a single-modulus 16-bit NTT for $c \cdot \mathbf{s}_i$ and a multi-moduli 16-bit NTT coupled with a vectorized CRT reconstruction for $c \cdot \mathbf{t}_0$. These instruction-level optimizations accelerate the ... Read more ›

Recently, I’ve been fascinated by the trend of building data storage systems on object storage. Systems like TurboPuffer are all the rage in the search space right now. New storage primitives like SlateDB make creating bespoke storage systems feasible for a single developer or small team. Read more ›
So it’s been a big week for me after I published an exclusive covering OpenAI’s audited financials from 2024 and 2025, with reactions ranging from “oh my god, OpenAI spent $34 billion to make $13.07 billion in revenue!” to “actually, it’s good the company lost $21 Read more ›

Vector databases are increasingly used in security sensitive contexts with Retrieval Augmented Generation and organizational AI pipelines; however, their security capabilities remain limited. Specifically, Fine-grained Access Control (FGAC) which is required to ensure that data access adheres to user-specific policies is not fully supported in modern vector databases. Unlike relational databases, vector databases combine structured and unstructu... Read more ›
Satellite communication systems, as critical long-lifecycle infrastructure, face a dual security challenge in the coming decades: the threat of quantum computers and the operational rigidity of traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). While migrating to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) addresses the former, it fails to solve the inefficiency of certificate management, where in-orbit policy updates require a prohibitively slow and complex multi-party re-issuance process. To address these ch... Read more ›
Database Decisions: Choosing Between PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL Database choices are easy to oversimplify. You will hear rules like "use PostgreSQL for serious apps," "use MongoDB when the schema changes," or "use MySQL because everyone knows it." Each statement contains a little truth, but none of them is enough to make a real project decision. A database is not just where data lives. It shapes how your application handles business rules, reporting, scale, developer workflow, debugging, ... Read more ›
It’s been a year since I retired — my was June 6, 2025 — and I like being able to say that I’ve spent the year adding nothing, not one penny, to shareholder value. 🌴 * * * My hope for retirement was to get a lot of work done on NetNewsWire. A year ago it was in sore need of modernization, tech debt pay-off, and bug fixes. People were asking for features, but the foundation needed a ton of work before I could get on to adding new rooms. Here are some highlights of what we’ve done with 2,188 co... Read more ›
