CodExorcism: GPT5 and VS Code Codex extension, great results, but like Windsurf and Cursor, new UTF-8 glyphs - ellipsis, bidi controls, Zero-width space, and more.

LMK if I missed any, see Blog for info

TorchDevice 0.5.2 Beta just dropped!

Instantly run PyTorch CUDA code on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) without rewriting a thing. 85%+ of HF Transformers tests passing on Mac. Modular, logs everything, super easy to drop in.

TorchDevice 0.5.2: Still Beta, but Three Months of Refactoring, Testing, and Real-World Breakthroughs
TorchDevice is a compatibility layer that makes PyTorch code written for CUDA “just work” on Apple’s MPS (and vice versa), with minimal friction for devs. It’s the kind of glue that shouldn’t exist-bu...

Is #AI #watermarking text? Users are finding zero-width spaces, hidden #UTF8 #Unicode characters, and multi-byte quotation marks in #AIgenerated content. These artifacts aren't from your keyboard, but they are showing up.

Using the debugger is a better way than sprinkling coed with print statements. This post should have gone out, let me know and I'll add some about ssh and even debugging in a local test user using VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf.

Do you ever get bugs in the cloud? If you use VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf or others here's my guide to remote Python debugging. It's quick it's easy and better than "printing" reams of logs to sift through. Connect to your program using your IDE just like being there.
