Hedged requests (apparently inspired by the Tail at Scale paper by myself and Luiz Barroso) applied within a single machine to replicating data across DRAM channels and issuing reads to all channels, using the one that comes back first. ~5-15X reduction in p99.99 read latency.

Cool stuff, @lauriewired!
Accompanying video forwarded to me by a friend, which is how I learned about it:

I've been working with Spherical Gaussians recently as a representation for irradiance in realtime raytracing.
Ended up deriving quite a few new approximations relating to SGs and diffuse lighting. Ended up with something both cheap and accurate.

This year, we managed to ship Python 3.14 support for uv and Ruff on the day of the stable release. A big lift from the whole team.
We wrote up a guide on some of our favorite features from 3.14, and how they affect our tools.

Python 3.14 is out today! Here are my notes on the new release: simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/8…
If you're an open source library maintainer who supports all current Python releases this also means you can drop 3.9 support now and start depending on features from 3.10, like match/case

Last week, I published a chapter about color. It's fairly comprehensive:

Much like humans, CPUs heal in their sleep.
CPUs are *technically* replaceable / wear items. They don’t last forever.
Yet, the moment stress is removed, transistor degradation (partially) reverses.
It's called Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) recovery:

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".
