By popular demand* Analog Library now generates minimum viable BibTeX.

Analog Library is running on a $2/month VPS, and I guess I just think it’s kinda rad that there exists a non-useless $2 VPS in 2026

Analog Library now has a bookmarklet (or a userscript) you can use to bypass Digital Library crud

@adrian This reminds me, I currently have separate Firefox add-ons for old.reddit.com and nitter.net redirects. There should really just be a generic regex-based redirect add-on. I just checked, and indeed there is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

@adrian I *am* a Kagi user and didn't know about redirect rules. This is amazing. Thanks, Adrian!

@samkaufman I live to serve

@adrian I love this so much! I saw it before but I didn't want to use it because A) no bibtex and B) annoying to redirect. Thank you for writing it!

Adrian Sampson 4d ago

@markusde yay, glad it might be useful at this point!

@adrian the premium edition gradient is incredible

@adrian your poor self control is a service to the community. This is so cool.

@adrian Publisher/location/address possible? 🙂 I always feel like I have to fix these, would be awesome to have

@addison do you mean in the BibTeX, or just as separate fields on the page? (fwiw I have tried to keep the BibTeX minimal because that's how some people want it, but we could explore multiple options for verbosity)

Addison 18h ago

@adrian In the bibtex -- this is a field used in both IEEE and ACM reference formats

@adrian neat! I love alternative front-ends. I added this to my redirects on Redirector.

Include pattern: https://dl.acm.org/doi/*
Redirect to: https://al.radbox.org/doi/$1

@adrian this is fantastic! it also has the link to the pdf and not their unusable epdf reader.

@adrian this is amazing, thank you!

@adrian also can we get a cert for radbox.org too? the site reminds me of some of the websites my friends have

@nemo good call; it turned out to be pretty easy to flip on LetsEncrypt on my crappy shared host. (and yes, that is my friend Todd's proudest achievement)

@adrian This is life-changing

@adrian wow, it didn't ask me to prove I was a human before being allowed to read an AI summary

@adrian adrian when are you hosting a low-fi computing projects retreat subsisting on rustic sourdough at your farm upstate?

@adrian although i suppose i should lead by example and finally run my 'dougstuhl"

@ZeusHammer a fully gluten-powered event

@adrian I object to the uncredited labor of yeast and bacteria.

@adrian I thought better of you, Adrian. For shame!

paulette d. koronkevich Mar 12

@ZeusHammer @adrian plsss I need some good farm time

@adrian Thanks! BTW, am I the only one getting "Abstract:
Data missing." with https://al.radbox.org/doi/10.1145/3779212.3790241? It does show up on https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3779212.3790241, FWIW

Triton-Sanitizer: A Fast and Device-Agnostic Memory Sanitizer for Triton with Rich Diagnostic Context

@mattpd ah, thanks, yes, I had noticed something wrong with ASPLOS 2026 papers in particular: https://codeberg.org/samps/analog-library/issues/22

shouldn’t be too hard to fix, thankfully

Fall back to Semantic Scholar API for some abstracts

At least at the moment, the ASPLOS 2026 papers don't have abstracts in Crossref, but they are available from Semantic Scholar. For example: https://al.radbox.org/doi/10.1145/3779212.3790166 https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/DOI:10.1145/3779212.3790166?fields=abstract

@adrian Ah, not just me, then! I'm blaming them wild ASPLOS folks taking ideas like the Asemantic Code Revolution too far! Thanks for the service in any case, this is a vast improvement over the ACM DL "experience" :-)

Adrian Sampson 17h ago

@mattpd this should be in place! seems to work for some papers but not all https://codeberg.org/samps/analog-library/pulls/25

Get abstracts from Semantic Scholar API

Fixes #22, and partially addresses the IEEE papers in #10.
