[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

Great question.
When you store passwords, you don't store them directly (that would be unsafe). Instead, you "hash" them. It is hashing that turns "password123" into something like "a7f8k2m9x4".

The problem is, if two people use "password123", they both get the same hash result. Hackers know this and have giant cheat sheets that say "if you see a7f8k2m9x4, the original password was password123."

The solution to this is "salting". Before hashing the password, you add some random junk to it.

So for User A, you might add "xyz" to their password, making it "password123xyz" before hashing.

For User B with the same password, you add different junk like "abc", making it "password123abc".

Now when hashed, they look completely different.

Benefits of salting is that even if a million people use "password123", every single one looks different in your database.

Hackers have to work much harder to crack each password individually

All this time, Piet code was the way

🚨 DeepSeek just did something wild.

They built an OCR system that compresses long text into vision tokens literally turning paragraphs into pixels.

Their model, DeepSeek-OCR, achieves 97% decoding precision at 10× compression and still manages 60% accuracy even at 20×. That means one image can represent entire documents using a fraction of the tokens an LLM would need.

Even crazier? It beats GOT-OCR2.0 and MinerU2.0 while using up to 60× fewer tokens and can process 200K+ pages/day on a single A100.

This could solve one of AI’s biggest problems: long-context inefficiency.
Instead of paying more for longer sequences, models might soon see text instead of reading it.

The future of context compression might not be textual at all.
It might be optical 👁️

Después de muchos años Granada vuelve a tener un open internacional de ajedrez clásico, que valdrá para normas de MI y GM. Estoy tan feliz que voy a regalar 3 de mis cursos de ajedrez en vídeo a 3 de los que hagan retuit.

We did want to make this mission free fly initially, it just wouldn't have been possible to make the assets and stay at quality, plus lots of player education debate. We wound up going "fuck it just make an awesome cinematic jet experience" but def wished freefly happened.
