Let’s go for my web review for the week 2026-27.What happened to the fight for the Internet?Tags: tech, politics, surveillanceExcellent piece, where are the netizens who should be fighting back those bills? Looks like we became very complacent and passivity reigns this time around. Didn’t think it was related to the pervasive centralisation already in place… but indeed that might be a strong contributing factor.https://dustycloud.org/blog/what-happened-to-the-fight-for-the-internet/Age verification is just a precursor to attribution of speechTags: tech, politics, law, surveillanceDefinitely this, we can’t trust this kind of mechanism for what they open the door to.https://nonogra.ph/age-verification-is-just-a-precursor-to-attribution-of-speech-06-29-2026my review of urukyTags: tech, web, searchSeveral times I bump into articles praising this one. I’ve been test driving it a bit, the experience is still a bit bare but it’s clearly maturing. Definitely an option to keep an eye on in my opinion.https://blog.sulimans.space/my-review-of-uruky/Zuckerberg’s increasingly bizarre war on whistleblowersTags: tech, social-media, facebook, ethicsThere might be a method behind the madness of the thin skinned autocrat heading Meta… Unfortunately it probably works.https://pluralistic.net/2026/06/27/zuckerstreisand-2/Chatbots vs. OzoneTags: tech, geospatial, ai, machine-learning, gpt, economics, ecologyMore reasons why the whole “data centers in space idea” is stupidly dangerous and likely unreachable.https://blog.dshr.org/2026/05/chatbots-vs-ozone.html?m=1Claude Code Is Steganographically Marking RequestsTags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, copilot, trust, security, privacyYou sure you can trust those systems? It’s proprietary software and they’re clearly on a slippery slop. For something so security sensitive this is concerning.https://thereallo.dev/blog/claude-code-prompt-steganographyPrompt Injection as Role ConfusionTags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, cognition, security, safetyInteresting paper (go to the full one for all the details) which shows that with the current architecture it’s really hard if not impossible to make safe systems with LLMs. This gives interesting insights in the weird form of proto-cognition those models exhibit.https://role-confusion.github.io/Text Editor: Data StructuresTags: tech, text, editor, designNeat introduction to the right data structures to use when making a text editor.https://www.averylaird.com/programming/the%20text%20editor/2017/09/30/the-piece-table.htmlEngineering High-Performance Parsers with Data-Oriented DesignTags: tech, data-oriented, architecture, performance, parsingInteresting article applying data oriented design to parsing tasks. This is really a good approach for performance.https://www.arshad.fyi/writings/engineering-high-performance-parsersData Access Patterns That Makes Your CPU Really AngryTags: tech, cpu, memory, hardware, performanceInteresting experiment on how to totally break the performance of memory accesses. This gives good insights on the whole chain works.https://blog.weineng.me/posts/slowest_add/The Physics of MemoryTags: tech, javascript, memory, data-oriented, performanceUnsurprisingly cache locality is a very important factor. What’s interesting here is that it still applies to a language like Javascript where you’d expect to not have enough control on the memory layout to reap any benefits.https://www.dmurph.com/posts/2026/06/ecs_vs_oop_benchmark/ecs_vs_oop_benchmark.htmlHigh-performance Rust: Understanding and eliminating memory fragmentationTags: tech, rust, memory, embedded, performanceInteresting Rust options to limit the amount of heap allocations if you’re constrained by memory or for performance reasons.https://kerkour.com/rust-high-performance-memory-fragmentation-allocationsHobby’s algorithm for aesthetic Bézier splinesTags: tech, graphics, mathematicsInterested in splines? This is a gentle introduction which points to further resources if you want to implement them.https://www.jakelow.com/blog/hobby-curves#fn-2What To Learn To Be A Real Time Graphics ProgrammerTags: tech, 3d, shader, mathematics, graphicsWondering what to learn to get into graphics programming? This is a nice list.https://blog.demofox.org/2026/07/01/what-to-learn-to-be-a-graphics-programmer/Announcing Box3DTags: tech, physics, simulation, 3dExciting! This looks like a neat 3D physics engine.https://box2d.org/posts/2026/06/announcing-box3d/The essence of architectural workTags: tech, architecture, complexityThis is an ongoing series, but there are good insights about software architecture work in the first few articles. Shows quite well the important tradeoffs and the usual traps.https://www.ufried.com/blog/essence_of_architecture_1/Every bottlenose dolphin invents a unique whistle that becomes its nameTags: biology, nature, cognitionSo using personal names is not an inherently human trait, this is confirmed through research now. Before their were signs and suspicions, but now the trail of evidences is strong.https://spacedaily.com/d-within-the-first-few-months-of-life-every-bottlenose-dolphin-invents-a-unique-whistle-that-becomes-its-name-for-the-rest-of-its-life-and-other-dolphins-learn-that-whistle-remember-it-and/Notes from a burning ParisTags: climate, ecologyThis is what things will look like in the coming years. Only probably worse, and for more and more people.https://sarahwilson.substack.com/p/notes-from-a-burning-parisBye for now!
