Everything old is new again: memory optimization
At this point in history, AI sociopaths have purchased all the world's RAM in order to run their copyright infringement factories at full blast. Thus the amount of memory in consumer computers and phones seems to be going down. After decades of not having to care about memory usage, reducing it has very much become a thing.
Relevant questions to this state of things include a) is it really worth it and b) what sort of improvements are even possible. The answers to these depend on the task and data set at hand. Let's examine one such case. It might be a bit contrived, unrepresentative and unfair, but on the other hand it's the one I already had available.
Suppose you have to write script that opens a text file, parses it as UTF-8, splits it into words according to white space, counts the number of time each word appears and prints the words and counts in decreasing order (most common first).
The Python baseline
This sounds like a job for Python. Indeed, an implementation takes fewer than 30 lines of code. Its memory consumption on a small text file [update: repo's readme, which is 1.3k] looks like this.
Peak memory consumption is 1.3 MB. At this point you might want to stop reading and make a guess on how much memory a native code version of the same functionality would use.
The native version
A fully native C++ version using Pystd requires 60 lines of code to implement the same thing. If you ignore the boilerplate, the core functionality fits in 20 lines. The steps needed are straightforward:
- Mmap the input file to memory.
- Validate that it is utf-8
- Convert raw data into a utf-8 view
- Split the view into words lazily
- Compute the result into a hash table whose keys are string views, not strings
The main advantage of this is that there are no string objects. The only dynamic memory allocations are for the hash table and the final vector used for sorting and printing. All text operations use string views , which are basically just a pointer + size.
In code this looks like the following:Its memory usage looks like this.
Peak consumption is ~100 kB in this implementation. It uses only 7.7% of the amount of memory required by the Python version.
Isn't this a bit unfair towards Python?
In a way it is. The Python runtime has a hefty startup cost but in return you get a lot of functionality for free. But if you don't need said functionality, things start looking very different.
But we can make this comparison even more unfair towards Python. If you look at the memory consumption graph you'll quite easily see that 70 kB is used by the C++ runtime. It reserves a bunch of memory up front so that it can do stack unwinding and exception handling even when the process is out of memory. It should be possible to build this code without exception support in which case the total memory usage would be a mere 21 kB. Such version would yield a 98.4% reduction in memory usage.

Why are executives enamored with AI, but ICs aren't?
I think there’s pretty clearly a divide in AI perception between executives and individual contributors (ICs). Executives seem to love it and evangelize it (going so far as to creating mandates at their companies for AI usage). But ICs are typically much more skeptical of its usage. You can see the divide show up everywhere from Hacker News comment threads to internal Slack debates about adopting coding agents.
Here’s my current posit for why there’s such a big divide: executives have always had to deal with non-determinism and focus on nondeterministic system design, while individual contributors are evaluated by their execution on deterministic tasks.
Managing non-deterministic systems
Executives have always had to deal with non-determinism. That’s par for the course:
- People being out sick or taking time off unexpectedly
- Someone not finishing an important project and not talking about it until far too late in the process
- People reacting to an announcement in an unexpected way
- A feature being built in a way that doesn’t make sense with respect to the rest of the product, but does technically achieve objectives.
More generally, if you’ve ever taken a Chaos Theory class in math, you’ll know that nonlinear, chaotic systems emerge when individual agents in a system are all acting with different inputs, utility functions, etc. Systems become slightly easier to manage if you’re able to make those utility functions consistent (you’re able to get a grasp on system dynamics).
A manager’s job is to create a model of the world and align everyone’s utility functions, knowing that there’s a large amount of non-determinism in complex systems. So it makes sense that as a manager, you’re ok with a decent amount of this.
AI is something that is non-deterministic but has a lot of characteristics of a well behaved chaotic system (specifically a system where you can understand the general behavior of the system, even if you cannot predict the specific outcomes at any point in time).
For example:
- LLMs generally continue their work and provide an output regardless of time of day, how difficult the task is, how much information is available
- LLM’s deficiencies have well defined failure modes (e.g. hallucinations, lack of ability to operate outside of their context, and especially poor outcomes when not given enough context)
- The types of tasks that an LLM can accomplish are relatively well known, and the capability envelope is getting mapped out quickly. This is different than humans, where each person has a different set of strengths and weaknesses and where you need to uncover these over time.
Many of these properties are more deterministic than large human systems, which makes AI incredibly attractive for an executive who is already used to this and likely has put a large amount of effort into adding determinism into their systems already (e.g. by adding processes and structure in the form of levels and ladders, standard operating procedures, etc.).
ICs live in a more deterministic world
ICs are generally much more focused on particular problems that have specific inputs and outcomes. Correctness is easier to determine, and how good you are at your job can largely be described by quality and speed, where the weights on those two depend on which organization you’re in. This changes as you move up the ladder (a staff engineer is expected to tackle large, ambiguous business problems), but for most ICs, the world is relatively well defined.
ICs deal with plenty of non-determinism in practice (unclear requirements, flaky systems, shifting priorities), but the way they’re evaluated pushes in the other direction. An IC’s value often comes from being reliably precise (e.g. writing correct code, getting the analysis right, producing a design that holds up under scrutiny). The more deterministic your output, the better you are at your job.
AI introduces non-determinism into exactly this space, and from an IC’s perspective, there are good reasons to be skeptical:
- It’s not as good as they are at their job. A highly trained human focused on a specific task will often beat an LLM, especially if that task is long running, requires connecting multiple systems, or demands precise domain intuition. If you’re an expert and you’re handed a tool that does a mediocre version of your work, the overhead of fixing its mistakes can genuinely cost more than doing it yourself.
- It changes what their job is. You go from doing the work yourself to managing something that does the work. The skills that got you hired (deep focus, precision, domain knowledge) aren’t necessarily the skills that make you good at that. That’s a disorienting shift.
- It’s tied to self worth. Work accounts for the majority of a person’s waking hours. When executives talk about AI making everyone more productive, ICs can hear that as the things you’ve spent years getting good at are about to matter less. Whether or not that’s what’s actually being said, it’s a reaso

21,864 Yugoslavian .yu domains
TLDR; get a list of 21,864 domains from the former Yugoslavia’s “.yu” top level domain: download the .CSV
In 2010 the entire domain space of Yugoslavia (.yu) was taken off the internet. After all, the country didn’t exist anymore.
I heard about this from an interview with Kaloyan Kolev on Agnes Bytes’ “Archiving the Web”. Kaloyan had several interesting insights:
- We’ve baked the concept of “countries” into the Internet domain system. And that makes domain names tied to real-world territorial conflicts, countries splitting apart and countries going underwater (like Tuvalu)
- .yu is an early example of something that will happen more and more often.
- It is unfortunate that we didn’t preserve the .yu domain space like a nostalgic Internet memorial to the country. Instead, the sites became unmoored and unreachable.
Kaloyan referred to the research paper “What does the Web remember of its deleted past? An archival reconstruction of the former Yugoslav top-level domain” by Anat Ben-David. In that paper, Ms. Ben-David reconstructed a network graph of .yu domains from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
Ben-David’s paper used the below sources as seed lists:
By crawling links from these pages to other .yu URLs, she eventually found 17,460 unique websites in the .yu domain.
The adventure begins
Dear Reader: after hearing all this, I bellowed out a mighty
Akshuallyyyyyyyy!
I dropped my bag of mini M&Ms onto the house robe I was wearing. Unshaven and red eyed, I yelled up from the basement: “MOM, fire up the router! I’m going on an Internet Adventure!!!!”.
You see, I figured I was good enough to discover all the archived domains under the .yu TLD. After all, last time I had an akshually moment, good things happened!
At first I tried doing a wildcard search for all *.yu domains at the Wayback Machine. That didn’t work.
The CDX API – a dead(ish) end
Then, I discovered that the Wayback Machine has a “CDX Server” API that can tell us if a page is archived or not.
Below is an example of a CDX query that grabs all the unique file paths at the domain “jacobfilipp.com”, filters them down only to HTML files that were successfully fetched (status starts with a 2), and shows you only the first 10 that are archived at the Wayback Machine.
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=jacobfilipp.com&matchType=host&collapse=urlkey&filter=mimetype:text/html&filter=statuscode:^2&limit=10
Unfortunately you can’t easily fetch all archived URLs under the TLD “.yu”.
However, if you try, you get a message that says “Forbidden: This type of CDX query requires authorization.” Which tells me that you could do this if you politely ask the staff at the Internet Archive.
What does work is fetching all the files under the Yugoslavian subdomains like *.co.yu and *.org.yu and *.ac.yu.
Here is an example of fetching all the URLs under *.co.yu:
You’d need to paginate through all the results, and it’s slow.
WWW.YU to the rescue
While tinkering with the CDX API, I landed by mistake on the site “www.yu”. I believe this site was run by Yugoslavian ISP “Memodata”.
What’s special about it, is it has a list of just about every registered .yu domain:
I went ahead and used my newfound CDX skills to download a list of all indexed “domain listing” pages. Not all of them are in the Wayback Machine: most listings stop at “page 20” of each letter.
Then, I downloaded all those pages locally using wget (use the id_
URL trick to get a page with un-altered URLs), and extracted all the .yu domain names from the links inside.
Finally, looping through each domain name, I used the CDX endpoint to check whether the domain is in the Archive or not.
End result:
21,864 domains with 13,292 of them having an archived copy in the Wayback Machine.
Download the entire list as .CSV below:
An exercise for the reader
While writing this post, I realized that the parent of www.yu – memodata.net – also has a list of domains. Theoretically it is the same list of domains. But, practically, the Wayback Machine might have indexed alphabetical listing pages that it didn’t index for www.yu. You’d have to grab all the listings pages using the CDX API and extract the domains.
If you really need more .yu domains, Nikola Smolenski and Anat Ben-David are easy to find online. You should ask them nicely – I bet they have their lists saved somewhere.

DOJ confirms FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email was hacked
Iran-linked hackers successfully broke into FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal email, the Department of Justice confirmed to Reuters on Friday.
Reuters could not authenticate the leaked emails themselves but noted that the Gmail address matched an email account “linked to Patel in previous data breaches preserved by the dark web intelligence firm District 4 Labs.” The DOJ suggested the emails appeared to be authentic.
On their website, the Handala Hack Team boasted that Patel “will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims.” The hacker group taunted Patel by sharing photos of him sniffing cigars and holding up a jug of rum, along with other documents that Reuters reported were from 2010 to 2019.
“Soon you will realize that the FBI’s security was nothing more than a joke,” the group posted, as documented in screenshots from the website shared widely on X.
The hack came after the DOJ disrupted some of the hacker group’s websites earlier this month. In a press release, Patel threatened to “hunt” down the group, which Reuters reported “calls itself a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers.” After detailing four attacks this month that the group had taken credit for, Patel offered rewards of up to $10 million for information on its members.
“Iran thought they could hide behind fake websites and keyboard threats to terrorize Americans and silence dissidents,” Patel said. “We took down four of their operation’s pillars and we’re not done. This FBI will hunt down every actor behind these cowardly death threats and cyberattacks and will bring the full force of American law enforcement down on them.”

Trump has delayed attacks on Iran’s energy facilities by 10 days, claiming talks are going well – though Iran disagrees.
As the war enters day 28, United States President Donald Trump has delayed planned attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure by 10 days until April 6, saying peace talks are going “very well” – even as Iranian officials describe a US proposal as “one-sided and unfair”.
Pakistan says it is relaying messages between Washington and Tehran, with Turkiye and Egypt also supporting mediation efforts to try to end the war, as diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent a wider regional conflict.
In Iran
- Military strikes and casualties: US and Israeli forces continued with their bombardment of Iranian cities: more than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran so far.
- Iran’s retaliation: Tehran fired missiles and drones at Israel and Gulf states, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
- Trump pushes back deadline: Trump paused planned attacks on Iranian energy plants until April 6 at 8pm Eastern Time (00:00 GMT on April 7), saying talks are “going very well”.
- Negotiations and demands: Iran called the US proposal “one-sided and unfair” and said it has five non-negotiable demands.
- Unacceptable demands: Iran’s five-point proposal, which includes reparations for the war and continued Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, is viewed as likely unacceptable to the White House.
- Actions over words: Mohamed Vall, reporting from Tehran, said Iranians are focusing on ongoing attacks, not US claims of progress in talks, and see the continuing strikes as a sign that Washington is not serious about a deal.
- US, Israel target Iran steel: US-Israeli air strikes damaged two major steel plants in Iran, Iranian media reports said.
- Iran turns back ships: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said they had turned back three ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz, adding the route was closed to vessels travelling to and from ports linked to its “enemies”. Analysts note that this incident demonstrates that “safe passage could not be guaranteed”.
War diplomacy
- Diplomatic efforts: Mediators are pushing for possible in-person talks between the Iranians and the Americans, perhaps as soon as this weekend in Pakistan, Egyptian and Pakistani officials say.
- Putin hoping for Mideast diversion: Russian President Vladimir Putin is hoping the war will shift the focus from his “crimes” in Ukraine, German foreign minister Johann Wadephul said during a meeting of G7 foreign ministers.
- G7 seeks US clarity on Iran: G7 allies pressed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for clarity on Washington’s Iran strategy, while the UK called for a “swift resolution” to restore regional stability.
- UN Security Council meeting: The UN Security Council will hold closed-door consultations on Friday to discuss attacks on Iran at Moscow’s request, Russian state media reported.
In the Gulf
- Direct attacks and interceptions: Neighbouring Gulf states are facing near-daily bombardments as Iran continuously fires missiles and drones.
- United Arab Emirates: Debris from an intercepted projectile in Abu Dhabi killed two people and injured three. The two people killed were from India and Pakistan. At least one of those injured was from India, too.
- Kuwait: The country’s main commercial port was damaged in a drone attack at dawn. The Shuwaikh port was targeted “by enemy drones, preliminary reports revealed material damage but no human casualties”, the Kuwait port authority said in a statement on X.
In the US
- Weapons supply strain: The ongoing war is stretching US military supplies, and the administration is weighing whether to redirect air defence interceptor missiles initially meant for Ukraine to the Middle East.
- Diplomatic meetings in DC: Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani visited Washington, DC, to meet with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to discuss security cooperation and regional defence strategies.
- Rising disapproval and gas prices: The war is hurting Trump’s approval ratings, with rising fuel prices driving domestic pressure and a Fox News poll indicating 64 percent disapprove of his handling of the Iran war, with only 36 percent approving.
- Shift to social media: As trust in traditional television coverage of the war wanes, some Americans are increasingly turning to algorithm-driven social media feeds for their news and seeking out opposing views to those mainstream media highlights.
In Israel
- Israeli army seeks more soldiers: The military said it needs more troops in southern Lebanon, where forces are fighting Hezbollah to establish a “buffer zone”.
- Israeli opposition leader attacks government: Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yair Lapid accused the government of leading Israel into a “security disaster” by sending the army into a multi-front war without a strategy or enough troops.
- Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon: The Israeli army announced the death of two soldiers in south Lebanon, where its troops have tried to occupy territory

The Iran-aligned Yemeni group have the ability to target key shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemen’s Iran-allied Houthis say they are prepared to intervene militarily if other countries join the United States and Israel in their war against Iran, or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks on their ally.
“We confirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention” if any new alliances join Washington and Israel against Iran and its allies, or if the Red Sea is used for “hostile operations” against Iran, the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised speech on Friday.

Saree also said the Houthis were prepared to act if what he called the escalation against Iran and the “axis of resistance” continued, but did not say what form any intervention would take.
The warning raises the prospect of a broader regional war, particularly given the Houthis’ ability to strike targets far beyond Yemen and disrupt shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula.
The Yemeni rebel group has controlled the capital Sanaa and much of the country’s northwest since 2014.
After Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis targeted vessels in the Red Sea and carried out drone and missile attacks against Israel, saying that they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians under fire in Gaza.
Israel and the US have regularly struck the war-torn country, targeting civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and the main international airport, while killing dozens at a time.
But in May, the Houthis and the US agreed to a truce, which included a Houthi agreement to stop attacks on US shipping in the Red Sea.
The group later stopped attacks on Israel and Israeli-linked shipping after the October Gaza ceasefire deal.
In his speech on Friday, Saree also said the group would not allow the Red Sea to be used to carry out “hostile operations” against Iran or any Muslim country.
He warned against any further tightening of what he described as “the blockade on Yemen”.
Saree called for an immediate halt to US and Israeli attacks on Iran, the Palestinian territory, Lebanon and Iraq.

The teacher had spent two years documenting pro-war propaganda at a school before smuggling footage out of Russia.
Russia has declared the teacher and main protagonist of the Oscar-winning documentary “Mr Nobody Against Putin” a foreign agent.
Pavel Talankin, who won Best Documentary at the Academy Awards earlier this month with US director David Borenstein, spent two years documenting pro-war propaganda at a school in the Chelyabinsk region in west-central Russia while working as the school’s videographer.

Talankin fled Russia in 2024, smuggling out the footage for use in the film.
A Russian court banned the documentary from several streaming platforms on Thursday, saying it promoted “negative attitudes” about the Russian government and the war in Ukraine.
Since Russia launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian authorities have sought to totally suppress opposition to the war while aiming to rally support for the war among Russian citizens.
Talankin’s name appeared in a statement on the justice ministry’s list of foreign agents on Friday.
Without naming the film, it said that Talankin had “disseminated inaccurate information” about Russia’s leadership and “spoken out against the special military operation in Ukraine”, Moscow’s official term for the war in Ukraine.
People listed as foreign agents are subject to onerous bureaucratic requirements and income restrictions in Russia.
They are also obliged to place the foreign agent label on social media posts and on anything else they publish.
‘Stop all of these wars now’
The documentary by Talankin and Borenstein uses two years of footage that Talankin recorded at a school where he was employed to show how students were exposed to pro-war messaging.
In his acceptance speech at the Oscars ceremony on March 15, 2026, Talankin said, “For four years, we look at the sky for shooting stars to make a very important wish, but there are countries where instead of shooting stars, they have shooting bombs and shooting drones”.
“In the name of our future, in the name of all of our children, stop all of these wars now”, he said.
The documentary has been controversial even among Russians who oppose Putin and the war, with some criticising Talankin for filming colleagues and children without their consent for his clandestine project.
Talankin has defended the film as a record for posterity, showing how “an entire generation became angry and aggressive”.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said after the Oscars that he had not seen the film and therefore could not comment on it.

The vigilante group Handala Hack Team said that it had successfully gained access to Patel’s personal email account.
A group of Iran-linked hackers have said that they successfully gained access to the personal emails of Kash Patel, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), sharing photographs and documents from the United States official online.
The Handala Hack Team said on Friday that Patel would “will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims”.

The news outlets Reuters and CNN confirmed the breach, citing unnamed security officials and people familiar with the matter. The FBI and Department of Justice have yet to comment on the incident.
The hacking appears to have released some documents more than a decade old. Some of the emails show Patel’s travel and business correspondence. Others include photos of Patel beside an antique sports convertible, posing with a cigar in his mouth and standing in front of a mirror with a bottle of rum.
Patel is the ninth director of the FBI, and he began his tenure in 2025. But his leadership has been marked by controversy, with critics accusing him of misusing the federal law enforcement agency for personal travel and to carry out President Donald Trump’s priorities.
The hacking group, which describes itself as pro-Palestinian hacking vigilantes, also claimed credit for a recent cyberattack on the medical device company Stryker.
The group, which Western researchers have said is linked to Iranian cyberintelligence, said that the attack was in retaliation for the US-Israeli strike on a children’s school in Minab in southern Iran that killed more than 170 people, most of them schoolgirls.
The group said at the time that the operation marked “the beginning of a new chapter in cyber warfare”. Iran has threatened to step up attacks on Western economic interests as a form of pressure amid the US-Israel war against the country.
