Biological neuron compared to the artificial neuron used in neural networks.
- The top shows a biologic neuron: dendrites receive signals, the cell body processes them, the axon transmits the signal, and terminals pass it onward.
- The bottom shows an artificial neuron: inputs x₁ to xₙ are weighted by w₁ to wₙ, summed with bias B, then passed through activation function f to produce output. This model is the basis for artificial neural networks.
It drives applications such as image classification in social media and voice recognition in virtual assistants.
I've been a backend Engineer for 12+ years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian.
I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews.
Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count.
Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days.
If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

Random projections compress 65,536 dims down to 1,024 — at the price of 67 million multiplications per vector. A lot of work spent in the name of saving work. Ailon & Chazelle's 2009 fix is, literally, a PHD: Φ = P·H·D 🧵
SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED
it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas
to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text
its called asciline, and here's the trick:
> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet
since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm
however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well
This is the best way to use Claude Fable in Claude Code without immediately hitting your limits.
1. Model set to Fable 5
2. Reasoning on Max
3. Instruct Claude to run a dynamic workflow where:
3a. Fable is the orchestrator
3b. Opus does the reasoning heavy phases
Fable is so overpowered that you don't need its intelligence for every step.
Let it orchestrate Opus or even Sonnet.
I made a personal black hole that makes you take breaks 🕳️
A shader for Ghostty that spawns a small black hole in your terminal - it drifts around, gravitationally lensing your text. The longer you work without stopping, the bigger it gets, until it's basically demanding you go touch grass
Take a break and it quietly shrinks away
Another 9 open Erdos problems solved, this time by DeepMind team.
Interesting loop of LLM - Lean agents working autonomously, and only after it's verified formally, going through human review.
Chinese students are buying GPT-5.4/5.5 and Claude API access from Xianyu/Taobao proxy sellers for almost 96-97% cheaper
People are apparently burning 100M+ tokens a day for like $1 and vibecoding nonstop.
