    Be Careful with Your Select * Queries

    A developer discovered that SELECT * queries caused performance issues after a LONGTEXT column was added to a table, fetching 500KB-5MB of unnecessary data per request. The problem was especially severe for a user on a VPN, where the larger API response traveled over a worse network path, causing 3-4 second page load delays.

    Building a conversation engine in Python that shows how LLMs fake memory

    This tutorial teaches how to build a Python conversation engine that demonstrates how LLMs simulate memory by resending the full conversation history with each message. Readers create a terminal-based chat script using the Anthropic API that maintains a growing messages array, making the model appear to remember earlier exchanges when it actually just receives the complete context fresh each time.

    So I have a weatherman, which also tells me the news

    The author built a static e-paper display using an ESP32-based LILYGO T5 module to show weather, news from Hacker News, air quality, astronomical events, and other personal data. They iterated through UI designs with Claude's help, settling on a 2x3 grid layout with an HTTP server backend in Clojure that aggregates data from external APIs and serves it as JSON to the device.

    Jev's Architecture Unmasked

    An analysis of Jev's architecture based on API probing reveals it uses a causal transformer with sparse MoE to replace text-based confidence claims with decision probabilities read directly from internal representations, enabling parallel outputs for classification tasks without generating text. The system addresses reliability and computational efficiency issues common in existing LLM-based fraud screening and moderation systems.

    Kubernetes Changed Block Tracking API – Beta Differences

    Kubernetes Changed Block Tracking API moved from Alpha to Beta with the March 2026 v1.0.0 release of external-snapshot-metadata. The main change is the promotion of SnapshotMetadataService CRD from v1alpha1 to v1beta1, requiring users to re-apply CRD definitions and update manifests accordingly. The feature enables CSI drivers to track changed blocks in storage volumes, with focus now on wider adoption and operational feedback before GA.
