I've streamlined theme development in Ktistec. The theming system uses a hierarchy of CSS custom properties and fallbacks. Theme authors can customize a theme at multiple levels:

Base Colors Only

Define only base colors like --text-primary, --bg-primary, --bg-input, --semantic-primary, etc. Derived colors will auto-generate using color-mix formulas. For example:

:root { --semantic-primary: #ffa500; }

From this one line, theme-appropriate colors like --bg-accent-code, --anchor-color, etc. auto-generate.

Base Colors Plus Derived Colors

Define base colors and derived colors. Derived colors use custom values when defined. Undefined derived colors auto-generate. For example:

:root {
    --text-primary: #333;
    --text-primary-2: #ff0000;  /* red for this specific shade */
}

Given this theme, derived shades like --text-primary-1, --text-primary-3, and --text-primary-4 auto-generate. --text-primary-2 is red.

The simplest possible interesting theme redefines the primary semantic color. The single line above (in Base Colors Only) would result in the following, with button color, link color, disabled, selected, and hover states all derived automatically:

screenshot of the setting page with the primary semantic color defined

These changes will be in the upcoming release. Existing themes will continue to work, as is.

Program-of-Thought Prompting Outperforms Chain-of-Thought by 15% (2022)

Program of Thoughts Prompting: Disentangling Computation from Reasoning for Numerical Reasoning Tasks

Recently, there has been significant progress in teaching language models to perform step-by-step reasoning to solve complex numerical reasoning tasks. Chain-of-thoughts prompting (CoT) is by far the state-of-art method for these tasks. CoT uses language models to perform both reasoning and computation in the multi-step `thought' process. To disentangle computation from reasoning, we propose `Program of Thoughts' (PoT), which uses language models (mainly Codex) to express the reasoning process as a program. The computation is relegated to an external computer, which executes the generated programs to derive the answer. We evaluate PoT on five math word problem datasets (GSM, AQuA, SVAMP, TabMWP, MultiArith) and three financial-QA datasets (FinQA, ConvFinQA, TATQA) for both few-shot and zero-shot setups. Under both few-shot and zero-shot settings, PoT can show an average performance gain over CoT by around 12\% across all the evaluated datasets. By combining PoT with self-consistency decoding, we can achieve SoTA performance on all math problem datasets and near-SoTA performance on financial datasets. All of our data and code are released in Github https://github.com/wenhuchen/Program-of-Thoughts

CloudFront Functionsの新機能でエッジロケーション情報を取得して、オリジン切り替えを試してみた | DevelopersIO

2025年11月20日のアップデートにより、CloudFront Functionsで空港コードの取得が可能になりました。今回、滞在先のダラス（DFW）から現地の物理回線を使用してアクセスし、実際にDFWコードが取得できるか、またそれに基づいてオリジンが動的に切り替わるかをログレベルで検証しました。

일본 서버를 한국과 거의 비슷한 속도로 원격 접속하기

고남현 @gnh1201@hackers.pub

이 글에서는 한국에서 일본 서버를 사용할 때 발생하는 네트워크 지연 문제를 다루고, 해저 케이블망을 활용하여 이를 개선하는 방법을 소개합니다. 저렴한 일본 서버를 선택했지만, 실제 한국에서의 통신 속도가 예상보다 훨씬 느린 250ms에 달해 미국 시애틀보다도 못한 상황을 겪었습니다. 하지만 Microsoft Azure의 한국 리전을 중간 서버로 활용하여 데이터 센터 간 통신을 시도한 결과, 핑 시간을 30ms대로 크게 단축시키는 데 성공했습니다. 이는 86%의 속도 향상으로, RDP를 통해 원격 데스크탑을 사용하는 환경에서 체감 속도를 극적으로 개선했습니다. 이 글은 해외 서버를 사용할 때 네트워크 지연을 줄이는 실질적인 해결책을 제시하며, 독자에게 더 빠르고 효율적인 원격 작업 환경을 구축하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있습니다.

I was planning on doing a shark flavored overview talk about the LHC and CMS experiment at c3 this year. Sadly, it was not accepted due to many other cool submissions.

But my trip to CERN was already planned and I had made arrangements with the PR department - So here are some of the images I took of special corespondent Blåhaj explaining things.

Hopefully next year is the charm. When LHC goes into the long shutdown I probably can also get some images of Blåhaj in the CMS experiment.

This is an access door to the LHC tunnel from one of the CMS caverns.Photograph of a Blåhaj wearing a CERN helmet and holding a pointing stick in front of a model of an LHC dipol magnet.

The tube is an decommissioned RF-cavity which was used to accelerate protons in the LHC.Photograph of a Blåhaj holding a pointing stick pointing at a large copper structure with smaller copper tubes in the center.

집 디퓨저를 대대적으로 바꿨는데 생각을 해보니까 집에 디퓨저를 놓는 이유가 뭘까? 집에 오는 손님을 위해서인가? 아니면 그냥 집에 들어올때 마다 상쾌한 기분을 느끼기 위해 놓는건가?

Looking through my various registrar accounts and I was reminded of the time that a group of us were waiting on a Lyft in the parking lot outside Bay Area Maker Faire and one of my friends pulled out a pack of cigarettes and my other friend goes, "Oh, fuck yeah, cigarettes" and I thought that was so funny that I bought "fuckyeahcigarettes.com" from my phone right there. I held on to it for a bit and never knew what to put there. I ended up making it an alias for Philip Morris until it expired.
