I used to work on an old C project where everyone knew there were memory issues, but no one wanted to touch it. Rewriting was too expensive, so we just used tools to keep it running. Now most new projects go with Rust.…
I used to think carnivorous plants would someday grow huge and eat people like in the movies. Turns out they have always stayed small and just got really clever instead. This piece made me see it differently. Not…
I used to think those old trackers were long dead, but it’s wild to see them still pulling in millions of peers. P2P may have faded from the spotlight, but the infrastructure never really went away.
After using ChatGPT a lot, I’ve definitely noticed myself skipping the thinking part and just waiting for it to give me something. This article on cognitive debt really hit home. Now I try to write an outline first…
This kind of thing makes me a bit cautious. When you use ChatGPT a lot, it’s easy to read too much into its replies. The model is just predicting text, but people bring their emotions into the conversation. For…

When I first heard the idea that our universe began inside a black hole from another one, it felt like something out of a sci-fi movie. But the more I sit with it, the more it starts to feel like the universe is quietly…
I’ve always felt like cancer is one big war, but in reality, it’s more like countless small battles happening all at once. I have a friend who went through this — he had a very rare form of cancer and had to do multiple…
I find it really interesting how much weight that simple question "What year were you born?" carries in Korean social life. A Korean friend once told me that it’s not about prying into your private life, it’s about…
I’ve used plenty of forgot password forms before and entered my phone number to recover accounts, but I never really thought about how much information they could actually leak. It reminds me of those recovery flows…
A while back, a colleague told me his doctor always scheduled his immunotherapy infusions for the morning, saying it would be more effective. I thought it was just something they said, but seeing all this new data, I’m…
