The inspiration for this post came from Dave’s Garage YouTube Channel. It featured dbrll/ATTN-11, which used machine learning on a PDP-11 to reverse a sequence of numbers. I’m not (quite) old enough to remember the PDP-11, but the idea of a minimal machine learning example was intriguing, particularly as an aid to understanding.
ocurrent/docker-base-images publishes the ocaml/opam:* Docker images which the OCaml CI systems use. For each distro, it tracks 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and master opam release branches in parallel and produces both an opam-version-suffixed tag (e.g. debian-13-ocaml-5.4_opam-2.5) and an un-suffixed default that points at the oldest tracked version.
Running ver in a Windows container doesn’t report the version number that you expect.
Our REDD+ over-crediting paper hits Nature Communications just as Microsoft retreats from removals, we talk responsible evidence synthesis while LLMs appear in UK planning, and oi grows a self-update bootstrap.

When I (mostly) unvendored ocaml-ci’s submodules a few days ago. Four out of the five were published in the opam-repository, but solver-service was not, so it ended up as a pin-depends block in ocaml-ci.opam.template pinned at the same SHA the submodule had pointed at.
Today, looking at my OxCaml inference engine, I wanted to see whether day10 build . could build an OxCaml project.
FreeBSD 15.0 has been out for a while, with issue#1036 pending resolution. The CI update is easy, but the CI worker rosemary needed an upgrade and new base images first.
