Today, I’m talking with Jack Conte, the CEO of Patreon. Jack last joined me on the show almost exactly five years ago, in the summer of 2021, and a lot has changed on the internet and in the creator landscape since then, so I was very excited to talk to him again, especially since his […]

The company is also eliminating a production shift at its Arizona factory to align "production plans with anticipated demand."

Huntress, HackerOne, Jamf, Recorded Future, and Tanium are among the cybersecurity companies that had data stolen following an earlier breach at market research firm Klue.

I joined a team where the controller was 800 lines long, the business rules were scattered between the controller and the DbContext , and "to run the tests, spin up a SQL Server in Docker" was a sentence I heard every week. The fix was Clean Architecture. The argument I had with the team lead was about how to actually structure it. We argued for two weeks. Then I built this template so the next person wouldn't have to. This is the Clean Architecture .NET 8 starter template I wish someone had handed me on day one. Four projects, strict dependency direction, domain entities that own their own invariants, and an Application layer you can unit test with Moq — no database required. The whole repo is on GitHub , MIT-licensed, runs with dotnet run , and ships with xUnit tests, JWT auth, Swagger, Docker, and CI. This post is the explanation of why each project exists, what goes in it, and what I learned the hard way about getting Clean Architecture right in .NET. The problem Clean Architecture solves The naive way to build a .NET Web API is one project, one folder structure, and "everything talks to everything": MyApp/ Controllers/ ProductsController.cs ← HTTP stuff OrdersController.cs ← HTTP stuff + business rules Services/ ProductService.cs ← business rules + DbContext.SaveChanges Data/ AppDbContext.cs ← EF Core, entities Models/ Product.cs ← POCO with public setters This works for the first 1,000 lines. By 5,000 lines, the controller is doing five things at once. By 10,000, "to test this, I need a database" is the answer to every test question, and your CI takes 20 minutes because every test run spins up SQL Server. Clean Architecture says: separate the business rules from the HTTP boundary, separate the database from the business rules, and enforce it with project references. A controller is allowed to call a service. A service is allowed to call a repository. A repository is allowed to know about EF Core. Nothing is allowed to know about anything "above" it in the chai

Originally published at htpbe.tech . The version on htpbe.tech stays in sync with the latest detection algorithm — refer to it for the canonical text. Accounts payable teams are receiving receipts generated by ChatGPT plugins. HR platforms are seeing payslips rendered by Python scripts. Insurance claims contain repair estimates that no shop ever issued. The documents look correct. The logos match. The numbers are plausible. The question is: what can actually be detected, and what cannot? The honest answer requires separating two things that are often confused under the phrase “AI-generated document detection.” Two distinct problems called "AI-generated document detection" When people ask how to detect an AI-generated document, they usually mean one of two distinct things: Content classification asks: was the text in this document written by an AI language model? This is what tools like GPTZero and Turnitin’s AI detector do. They analyze writing style, token probability distributions, and linguistic patterns to estimate whether a human or a model produced the text. Structural forensics asks: was this PDF file generated by a real institutional system, or did it come from a headless browser, a PDF library, or a consumer tool? This is what HTPBE does. It reads the binary structure of the file — producer metadata, xref patterns, font embedding, object numbering — and checks whether those patterns match how legitimate institutional software generates documents. These are not the same problem. A document can contain AI-written text and still come from a real corporate system. A document can contain entirely human-written text and still have been rendered by Puppeteer an hour ago. The structural check and the content check answer different questions. HTPBE does structural forensics. It does not classify text. This article explains what that distinction means in practice, what the structural approach reliably catches, and where its limits are. What structural forensics detec

1. Introduction Django's ORM is one of its greatest strengths. It abstracts away raw SQL, lets you express database operations in clean Python, and gets you productive fast. But that convenience comes with a hidden cost: if you're not deliberate about how you fetch related objects, you'll silently generate far more queries than you intend — and you won't notice until your app slows to a crawl in production. The most common culprit is the N+1 query problem : a pattern where fetching a list of N objects triggers an additional query for each one, resulting in N+1 total round-trips to the database. At ten rows it's invisible. At ten thousand rows, it's a disaster. Django provides two tools to fix this: select_related and prefetch_related . This article explains how each one works internally, when to use which, and how to combine them effectively — with before/after examples and real query counts throughout. 2. Understanding the N+1 Problem Consider a simple blog with posts and authors. You want to render a list of posts, showing each post's title and its author's name. Models: # models.py from django.db import models class Author ( models . Model ): name : str = models . CharField ( max_length = 100 ) class Post ( models . Model ): title : " str = models.CharField(max_length=200) " author : Author = models . ForeignKey ( Author , on_delete = models . CASCADE , related_name = " posts " , ) The naive approach: # views.py from django.db import connection from .models import Post def list_posts () -> None : posts = Post . objects . all () # Query 1: fetch all posts for post in posts : print ( f " { post . title } by { post . author . name } " ) # ^^^ Query 2, 3, 4, ... N+1: one per post For 100 posts, this produces 101 queries . Django lazily fetches post.author the first time you access it on each object. Each access hits the database separately. You can verify this with django.db.connection.queries (requires DEBUG = True ): from django.db import connection , reset_queries

Over the course of a few posts, I will be constructing an NES emulator that will allow you to play NES ROMs. Today’s post is the first in this series, where I will be walking through the process of emulating the CPU the NES used, the MOS 6502. STRUCTURE The 6502 has 6 primary registers we need to emulate in our program. The A register is the accumulator, which is 1 byte long The X register is an index register, which is also 1 byte long The Y register is another index register, also 1 byte long The Program Counter is 2 bytes long, allowing for accessing 65536 memory locations The Stack Pointer is 1 byte long, allowing a 256 byte stack The P register is a status register that is 1 byte long, containing the CPU status flags Below is the struct I used for the 6502 typedef struct { uint8_t A ; uint8_t X ; uint8_t Y ; uint16_t pc ; uint8_t S ; uint8_t P ; } cpu_6502 ; MEMORY The 6502 can read up to 64kb of memory thanks to the 2 byte long program counter. For my implementation, the memory is just a simple uint8_t array declared like so: uint8_t memory[65536] = {0}; This just implements an array of 65536 bytes that we will load programs into, that the CPU will then step through. However, we need to have a function that is able to decode the commands. OPCODES An opcode (operation code) is a number that represents an instruction for the CPU. The 6502 has 56 distinct (useful) opcodes I will be emulating today. A full list of the opcodes can be found in this handy little table. Since there are so many opcodes, I will not go through them all. The full code can be found in my GitHub repo here: https://github.com/benjaminavachon/6502-emulator Here we can discuss a few of the operations so you can get a feel for what they do. The first one we will discuss is very simple. It is LDA; it simply loads the piece of data after the opcode stored in memory into the A register and increments the program counter to the next memory address. A simple example of this would be: LDA 0x05 This i

Whether you're brand new to Power BI or just getting started with data analytics, this guide walks you through everything you need to know about data modeling — from how tables connect, to the schemas that make your reports fast and reliable. What Is Data Modeling in Power BI? Imagine you have three spreadsheets: one with your customers , one with your products , and one with your sales transactions . Individually, each table tells you something. But together, they can tell you which customer bought which product, when, and for how much . That's exactly what data modeling is: the process of organizing your data tables and defining how they relate to each other so Power BI can combine them into meaningful reports and dashboards. A data model in Power BI has three core building blocks: Tables — your data sources (Excel files, databases, CSVs, cloud services, etc.) Relationships — the links between tables that tell Power BI how data connects Measures & Calculations — formulas (in DAX) that compute totals, averages, and other insights A well-designed data model is the difference between a report that loads in seconds and one that takes forever. It's also what keeps your numbers accurate and your dashboards easy to use. Why Does Data Modeling Matter? Here's a simple analogy: a city without roads is just a collection of buildings. Data modeling is the road system that lets you travel between your tables. Without a good data model: Your visuals may show incorrect or duplicated numbers Filters in one chart won't affect another Reports will be slow and hard to maintain With a good data model: Clicking on a customer in one visual automatically filters every other visual Calculations are accurate and consistent You can easily add new data sources without rebuilding everything Types of Tables: Facts vs. Dimensions Before diving into schemas and relationships, you need to understand the two types of tables that make up most Power BI models. Fact Tables A Fact table stores the ev

Learn how to organize React projects for scalability, maintainability, and team collaboration. Introduction As React applications grow, one challenge consistently emerges: project organization . A folder structure that works perfectly for a small side project can quickly become a nightmare when multiple developers contribute to a production-scale application. Whether you're a junior React developer preparing for interviews, a mid-level frontend engineer looking to improve code maintainability, or a technical recruiter trying to understand modern React development practices, understanding scalable React folder structures is essential. In this guide, we'll explore the most popular React folder organization strategies, their pros and cons, and the structure many modern engineering teams use to build scalable applications. Why React Folder Structure Matters A well-organized React project provides several benefits: Faster onboarding for new developers Easier code maintenance Better scalability as features grow Reduced code duplication Improved team collaboration Cleaner separation of concerns Many React applications start simple: src/ ├── App.jsx ├── Home.jsx ├── Login.jsx └── Dashboard.jsx This works initially, but as the project grows to dozens or hundreds of components, finding and maintaining files becomes increasingly difficult. Common React Folder Structure Approaches 1. Type-Based Folder Structure One of the earliest and most common approaches is organizing files by their type. src/ ├── components/ ├── pages/ ├── hooks/ ├── services/ ├── utils/ ├── assets/ └── contexts/ Advantages Easy to understand Suitable for small projects Quick setup Disadvantages Components folder can become enormous Related files are spread across multiple directories Harder to maintain in large teams For example, a user profile feature might have files located in: components/UserProfile.jsx hooks/useUser.js services/userService.js pages/ProfilePage.jsx Finding all files related to one feat

An App Store rating looks like a verdict. It behaves more like a monument, built over years and slow to move. It says very little about how this month's users feel. I took the 12 most-rated Productivity apps on the US App Store, 32 million ratings between them, and split the headline star into the two numbers it hides: how far recent sentiment has fallen below the lifetime average, and whether the developer replies when users complain. How it is measured Population truth. Lifetime ratings and the star histogram come from Apple's full ratings data, every rating an app has ever received. Recent sentiment. A fixed window of the most recent reviews by date, so an app captured to a depth of thousands is not compared on a multi-year average against an app with a few hundred. Same window for everyone. Developer response. Reply share and median latency over that recent window. Complaints are bucketed with a rule-based taxonomy. It is a heuristic, not a trained classifier, and I treat it as one. What turned up The AI assistants now own this chart, and they reply to almost no one. App Lifetime Recent Reply share ChatGPT 4.8 4.18 0% Claude 4.7 3.06 0% Grok 4.9 3.77 0% Perplexity 4.8 3.60 0% Google Gemini 4.7 3.65 13% Dropbox 4.8 2.75 58% Gmail 4.7 2.40 26% Google Drive 4.8 3.90 23% Microsoft Authenticator 4.7 2.18 1% The older tools are the ones still in the trenches: Dropbox answers 58% of recent reviewers, Gmail 26%, Drive 23%. The steepest recent drops belong to Microsoft Authenticator (4.7 to 2.18), Gmail (4.7 to 2.40) and Dropbox (4.8 to 2.75). Plotted on two axes, backlash against response, every app falls into one of four archetypes: Firefighters, Ghost Ships, Complacent Giants and Resilient Leaders. Eight of the twelve are Ghost Ships, taking a recent hit in near silence. The honest limits Recent reviewers self-select toward the dissatisfied. A person who hits a bug is far more likely to leave a review than a contented one, so a low recent average blends genuine declin

If you had a Roomba, especially in the early days of the robot vacuum, it was in many ways a fairly unsophisticated machine. It would just bump around your house, looking for something to suck up, until its battery died or its (way too small) tank filled up. Not that it mattered, though. You probably […]

A great CLAUDE.md is not the longest one. It is the one where every line changes what Claude does. The whole skill is knowing what belongs in it — and, just as importantly, what does not. The sections that earn their place Start with a one or two line project description and your stack, with version numbers. Claude infers a lot from your code, but it will not guess that you are on Next.js 15 instead of 14, or which ORM you chose. Then a directory map — not every file, just the top-level layout with a note on what each part holds. After that: the build and test commands, the conventions a formatter does not enforce, and critically, the things not to touch. # Project: Acme Dashboard Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Drizzle ORM, Vitest. ## Structure src/app/ # routes and pages src/lib/ # shared utilities, db client db/migrations/ # generated - never hand-edit ## Commands Build: npm run build Test: npm run test ## Conventions - API routes return { data, error } - never throw to client - Server components by default ## Do not touch - db/migrations/ is generated. Never edit by hand. Every line in that file would cause a mistake if removed. That is the bar. What to leave out This is where most files go wrong. Two kinds of content waste your budget: Personality instructions. "Act as a senior engineer," "think step by step," "be thorough." These feel productive but change nothing — Claude already does them. General advice that does not prevent a specific mistake is pure noise. Rules a tool already enforces. If you have a formatter or linter, do not restate what it enforces. Wire it into a hook instead, and keep CLAUDE.md for what tools cannot enforce. The one-line test For every line, ask: "If I remove this, will Claude make a mistake?" If yes, keep it. If no, delete it. This single question, applied ruthlessly, is the difference between a file Claude follows and one it ignores. A bloated file buries the rules that matter in noise, so Claude cannot tell which line is the

If you use Claude Code, there is one file that quietly shapes every session: CLAUDE.md. Most developers either do not have one or have one that works against them. Here is what it actually is, in plain terms. The file Claude reads every session CLAUDE.md is a markdown file that Claude Code reads at the start of every conversation. Think of it as your project's constitution — the source of truth for how your specific repository works. Because Claude reads it every time, you stop re-explaining your stack, your conventions, and your commands on every task. Why it exists Without a CLAUDE.md, every session starts cold. Claude can read your code, but it cannot infer the things that live outside the code: that you are on Next.js 15 and not 14, that a directory is generated and must never be edited, that your team has a particular commit style. You end up explaining these again and again, slightly differently each time, so the output drifts. CLAUDE.md captures that knowledge once, somewhere Claude always sees it. Where it lives, and how to start Put CLAUDE.md in the root of your project. You do not have to write it from a blank page — the /init command analyses your codebase and generates a starter, detecting your build tools, test framework, and existing patterns: $ claude > /init Treat the result as a foundation, not a finished product. The real value comes from refining it as you learn what Claude gets wrong without guidance. What belongs in it A good CLAUDE.md is short and specific: A one-line stack description, with versions — Claude will not guess Next.js 15 over 14 A directory map — the top-level layout and what each part holds The build and test commands The conventions a newcomer could not infer from the code A "do not touch" section — generated files, migrations, protected paths Here is a compact example: # Project: Acme Dashboard Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Drizzle ORM, Vitest. ## Structure src/app/ # routes and pages db/migrations/ # generated - never h

You wrote a detailed CLAUDE.md, and Claude Code still gets things wrong — wrong convention, touches files it should not, ignores rules you clearly wrote down. The cause is almost never that the rules are missing. It is that they are buried. The over-specified file problem CLAUDE.md loads into Claude's context every single session, and performance degrades as that context fills. When the file grows too long, something counterintuitive happens: Claude starts ignoring parts of it. The important rules get lost in the noise, and the genuinely critical instructions sit too deep to reliably influence output. A bloated file does not just waste tokens. It actively makes Claude less reliable, because it cannot tell which of your hundred lines is the one that matters. The trap of good intentions It always starts reasonably: "let me put everything relevant in here." But relevant is a low bar. The file grows until it is impossible to scan, full of duplication, and so noisy that the truly important rules carry no weight. More content felt like more control. It was the opposite. The fix: prune ruthlessly Run every line through one question: "If I remove this, will Claude make a mistake?" If the answer is no, the line is noise — delete it. And if something only matters in a specific situation rather than always, it does not belong in the always-loaded file at all. That is what skills and subdirectory CLAUDE.md files are for — they load on demand, only when relevant. Let Claude fetch what it needs Instead of embedding everything, tell Claude how to pull context when it needs it. Rather than pasting an entire API guide into the file: # Wasteful - embeds the whole file every session: @docs/api-guide.md # Better - Claude reads it only when relevant: For Stripe integration work, read docs/stripe-guide.md The second form costs almost nothing until the moment it is needed. The result A pruned CLAUDE.md is often a third of the length and many times more effective. The rules that matter are

A scan node sits at the leaf of the tree and pulls rows from a single table. A join node sits in the middle and brings together the rows that its two children send up. It takes one row from users , one row from orders , checks whether they belong to the same user, and if they match, emits the combined row. PostgreSQL has three nodes for this one job: NestLoop, HashJoin, and MergeJoin. The reason a single task splits into three nodes is much like the reason scans did. There is more than one way to find matching pairs from two inputs, and which way is cheapest depends on the size of the inputs and the shape of the join condition. Deciding which way is cheapest, by costing the alternatives, was the planner's job in an earlier chapter. This section looks at what those three nodes actually do when they execute. Given the same two tables, the three find matches in completely different ways, and that difference in approach is exactly what tells them apart. How the three nodes route requests All three join nodes are internal nodes with two children. One child is called the outer, the other the inner. All three run on the Volcano model's pull framework: when the parent asks for the next row, the join node takes rows from its two children, builds one matched row, and sends it up. The only difference is the order and manner in which it routes pull requests to its two children. NestLoop pulls the inner from the start all over again for each outer row it receives. HashJoin slurps the inner in one pass to build an index in memory, then takes outer rows one at a time and probes that index. MergeJoin, on the assumption that both sides are sorted in the same order, advances both sides one step at a time in lockstep. NestLoop: rescan the inner for every outer row The simplest method is NestLoop. As the name says, the loops are nested. The outer loop takes one row from the outer; the inner loop scans the inner from beginning to end, looking for inner rows that match that outer row. Wh

By the time 1.4 ends, the planner has produced one PlannedStmt. Inside it is an execution tree built from Plan nodes, frozen into a form you can follow step by step, something like "go into the primary key index on users, fetch the one matching row, then output that whole row." But that is still only a blueprint. Reading actual pages off disk, picking out the rows that match the condition, handing results back to the caller: none of that has happened yet. The stage that takes that blueprint and produces actual rows is the executor. The difference between the planner and the executor is the difference between deciding and doing. The planner was the stage that weighed "which index, in what order, with what join method" by cost and chose . The executor takes the chosen approach and carries it out as is . There is nothing left to choose. It just runs the nodes baked into the plan tree and pulls rows out of them. To run it, the executor takes the Plan tree it received and turns it into a PlanState tree. The Plan tree is the static blueprint the planner made, and it does not change during execution. But to actually run, each node needs state that changes as execution proceeds: which row it is reading now, whether the hash table is fully built, what tuple it has buffered from a child. So when execution begins, a PlanState tree with the exact same shape as the Plan tree is created. The blueprint Plan tree is left untouched, and the running state lives in that PlanState tree instead. How the executor produces result rows is the heart of the stage. The executor does not build the entire result set at once and stack it up. Instead, it asks the topmost node of the tree for "the next row," and that request travels down the tree to the leaves. When a leaf scan node reads one row from a page and passes it up to its parent, that row climbs up one level at a time through joins and filters until it reaches the top. The top sends that single row to the caller (the client, or the targe

In the earlier posts of this series, we looked at practical query tuning tips and how to read and interpret query plans . A recurring theme in both was: "add an index here." But "add an index" is a bit like saying "use the right tool" — the interesting part is which one. PostgreSQL ships with several index types, each tuned for a different kind of data and query. Picking the wrong one means PostgreSQL quietly ignores your index and goes back to a sequential scan. In this post, we'll walk through the main index types, when each shines, and the special index variations (composite, partial, covering, expression) that often matter more than the type itself. Setting the Scene: Schema and Sample Data We'll reuse the same schema from the previous posts, with one small addition — a metadata JSONB column and a tags array on orders , so we can explore the more exotic index types. CREATE TABLE customers ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY , customer_name VARCHAR ( 255 ), email VARCHAR ( 255 ), created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW () ); CREATE TABLE orders ( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY , customer_id INT REFERENCES customers ( id ), order_date TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW (), total_amount NUMERIC ( 10 , 2 ), status VARCHAR ( 20 ), tags TEXT [], metadata JSONB ); -- Insert sample customers INSERT INTO customers ( customer_name , email ) SELECT 'Customer ' || i , 'customer' || i || '@example.com' FROM generate_series ( 1 , 1000000 ) AS s ( i ); -- Insert sample orders INSERT INTO orders ( customer_id , order_date , total_amount , status , tags , metadata ) SELECT ( RANDOM () * 1000000 ):: INT , NOW () - interval '1 day' * ( RANDOM () * 365 ):: int , ( RANDOM () * 500 + 20 ), ( ARRAY [ 'pending' , 'shipped' , 'delivered' , 'cancelled' ])[ FLOOR ( RANDOM () * 4 + 1 )], ARRAY [( ARRAY [ 'gift' , 'priority' , 'fragile' , 'bulk' ])[ FLOOR ( RANDOM () * 4 + 1 )]], jsonb_build_object ( 'channel' , ( ARRAY [ 'web' , 'mobile' , 'store' ])[ FLOOR ( RANDOM () * 3 + 1 )]) FROM generate_series ( 1 , 1000000 ) AS s ( i

Python provides socket.AF_UNIX , asyncio.open_unix_connection() , and asyncio.start_unix_server() for working with Unix Domain Sockets on Unix-like operating systems. On Windows, however, support for Unix Domain Sockets tends to depend on the Python version and runtime environment. In particular, differences become apparent when trying to use the higher-level asyncio APIs in the same way as on Unix. To address this, I created a compatibility layer that hides the differences between Unix and Windows and allows AF_UNIX sockets to be used through a largely identical API. This article covers two types of APIs: An asyncio -based AF_UNIX compatibility API A synchronous socket -based AF_UNIX compatibility API Goal The objective is straightforward. On Unix, use the standard library APIs as-is. On Windows, fill in the missing functionality so that application code can remain as unified as possible. For example, on Unix you can write: reader , writer = await asyncio . open_unix_connection ( path ) And on the server side: server = await asyncio . start_unix_server ( handle_client , path ) The goal is to preserve this style of programming on Windows as much as possible. What Was Built The compatibility layer consists of two major components. 1. Asyncio Version This is the asynchronous implementation designed to match the asyncio Unix Domain Socket APIs. The main APIs are: await open_unix_connection ( path , * , limit = ...) await start_unix_server ( callback , path , * , limit = ..., backlog = ...) await create_unix_connection ( protocol_factory , path , ...) await create_unix_server ( protocol_factory , path , ...) install () On Unix-like systems, these simply delegate to the standard asyncio implementation. On Windows, they use Winsock AF_UNIX sockets and combine WSAEventSelect with event-loop handle waiting to implement asynchronous operations. 2. Synchronous Socket Version This version provides a traditional blocking-socket-style API without using asyncio . The main APIs ar

After spending two weeks debugging issues that only showed up in production — a sitemap _redirects rule that was blocking my own sitemap-index.xml and a Bluesky image upload race against Cloudflare Pages deploy lag — I added three post-deploy checks to my workflow. They're fast and specific to the failure modes I've actually hit, not a full end-to-end test suite. Three sites (aiappdex.com, findindiegame.com, ossfind.com) on Cloudflare Pages with Astro 5 SSG. Here's what I check. Check 1: Sitemap reachability The simplest check and the one I should have had from day one. After a Cloudflare Pages deploy, I verify that sitemap-index.xml is reachable and returning 200 on all three domains: for domain in aiappdex.com findindiegame.com ossfind.com ; do status = $( curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https:// $domain /sitemap-index.xml" ) echo " $domain /sitemap-index.xml → $status " if [ " $status " != "200" ] ; then echo "FAIL: $domain sitemap unreachable" fi done I also check sitemap-0.xml — the actual URL sub-sitemap that @astrojs/sitemap generates — and assert that it contains at least a minimum expected URL count. For aiappdex.com that threshold is 1,000; if it drops below that after a deploy, the ETL data pipeline probably broke silently. The reason this check exists: I had a _redirects rule rewriting sitemap-index.xml → sitemap-0.xml as an emergency workaround that turned out to be wrong. It was live for five days before I found it. The rule was blocking the real sitemap-index.xml from reaching crawlers while appearing fine in the browser (which followed the redirect). Curl with -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" doesn't follow redirects by default, so it would have caught this immediately. Check 2: IndexNow batch submission After every successful sitemap check, I run node scripts/indexnow.mjs . The script reads the live sitemap XML from each domain, collects all URLs, and POSTs them to the IndexNow endpoint for Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam using site-specific k
