Rule 110 Compiler: a working implementation of a Turing Complete single cell automata based on Michael Cook's proof. In this project, I successfully converted a Turing Machine representation of binary addition into a Tag System -> Cyclical Tag System -> Rule 110. If you ever wanted to run the most inefficient and exponential (based on data size) compile-time program, this is for you. Full blog post here: forrestmeng.com/pages/blog/rul…

There’s no better feeling than trapping and stacking berkeley fobs in poker rooms

@HelloVyom these are pretty standard systems questions

Saw a breakdown of an OpenAI SWE interview and wow… They’re really out here asking candidates to design an in-memory database with SQL support, optimize JOINs, and then casually dive into transactions, WAL, MVCC like it’s nothing. This isn’t “leetcode grind” hard, this is actual systems research-level grilling. Honestly, the salaries these labs are paying? Completely justified. If anything, still underrated. If you can survive that level of deep, relentless questioning where every answer spawns two more… yeah, you’ve earned it.

@n0w00j My bracket is cooked already

@ivanburazin he must not be a good engineer

I recently met a founder who has an engineer spending more on Claude tokens than his actual salary. His goal: entire company spends more on tokens than people by end of 2026. Just imagine... $150k engineer → $300k/year in token spend Curious to see when the flip happens at scale in more companies.
