Claude channels are research preview features requiring Claude Code v2.1.80 or later and claude.ai login. They allow two-way communication between Claude and external platforms like Telegram and Discord.
Astral's tools will join OpenAI's Codex team to push AI and software development forward. The goal remains to make programming more productive with tools that feel fast, robust, and integrated.
Google is introducing a developer verification program to combat malware on Android devices, requiring verified developers to provide identification and pay a $25 fee. Power users can bypass this verification through an advanced flow in developer settings, but it's not immediately accessible and has a 24-hour countdown.
Nyxgeek discovered four Azure Entra ID sign-in log bypasses in the last three years, including GraphNinja, GraphGhost, GraphGoblin, and a fourth bypass involving a long user-agent string. These bypasses allowed attackers to validate passwords without generating log entries, and Microsoft fixed them in record time, but initially downplayed the severity of the issues.

The Turner Twins, Ross and Hugo, conduct A/B tests on modern and 100-year-old gear on expeditions to see how far textile innovation has taken us. Their data suggests that modern gear offers only a narrow safety margin over historic gear, which requires skill to operate.
Kitten TTS v0.8 is out with 15M, 40M, and 80M parameter models for high-quality voice synthesis on CPU. It supports various voices and offers commercial support for teams integrating it into their products.
Processors can learn to predict branches over time, especially with repeated use of the same random values. AMD processors performed well in this benchmark, while Intel processors showed disappointing results.
The noq team has created a general-purpose QUIC implementation with multipath and NAT traversal support, which is a separate codebase from Quinn but aims for collaboration. noq's headline feature is a full implementation of the QUIC Multipath spec, enabling latency improvements and supporting various network conditions.
The author criticizes modern websites for prioritizing ads over user experience, leading to frustrating and intrusive designs. This is driven by an auction system that rewards publishers for keeping users on their pages.
Ofcom fined 4Chan £520,000 for failing to comply with UK's Online Safety Act. 4Chan's lawyer responded with an AI-generated image, claiming the platform breaks no law in the US.
Voltair Labs is developing weatherized, hybrid-fixed drones for power utility inspections, aiming to replace foot patrols and helicopters with a cost-effective solution. The company's first product is a long-range, fixed-wing drone that recharges inductively on stripped-down charging pads, enabling inspections of entire transmission line corridors with reduced costs and increased efficiency.
Clockwise will remove Smart Hold events and Flexible Meetings, then delete user data on March 27, 2026. Users will get a prorated refund for prepaid subscriptions and can transition to Reclaim for AI-powered scheduling.
Researchers created EsoLang-Bench to evaluate large language models on esoteric programming languages with limited training data. The results show a significant gap between models' performance on mainstream languages and their genuine programming ability.
To maintain a well-structured codebase, use semantic functions as building blocks that are minimal, self-describing, and unit-testable, and pragmatic functions as wrappers around complex logic. Effective data modeling involves enforcing correctness, using precise names, and avoiding loose typing to prevent bugs and make code easier to understand and maintain.
Waymo's safety impact research uses best practices to align ADS and human crash data, comparing Waymo's crash performance to the current human driving fleet from the areas where Waymo operates. The results show that Waymo has 70-90% fewer crashes than the benchmark, with statistical significance achieved due to the large number of miles driven by Waymo.
The user decoded UDP packets from raw voltage waveforms captured by an oscilloscope connected to a high-speed active differential probe soldered to a rack switch. They implemented a parser to extract the packets from the waveform data, which involved decoding QSGMII protocol and rate adaptation to convert the data into conventional Ethernet packets.
I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to understand how Linux handles page faults, what mmap actually does at the physical page level, and how userfaultfd lets userspace take over that fault handling. The motivation was a specific problem, which was making Virtual Machine (VM) snapshot restore fast by lazily populating guest memory. But the underlying mechanisms are general Linux concepts ...
Juggalo face makeup can evade facial recognition due to its black bands obscuring key features. However, Apple's Face ID uses depth perception, making Juggalo makeup ineffective against it.
Researchers achieved 10x data efficiency with NanoGPT Slowrun by ensembling 1.8B parameter models and applying architectural tweaks. This allows scaling with compute rather than data, potentially leading to significant model performance improvements.
Aakash and Viswesh from Canary built AI agents to test code changes and user workflows, closing the gap in code verification. Canary outperforms GPT, Claude Code, and Sonnet in code verification benchmark QA-Bench v0.
The user expresses frustration with Wayland, a Linux display server, citing issues such as security restrictions, performance problems, and lack of support for common features. After 17 years of development, the user believes Wayland is still not ready for prime time and that the trade-offs have not been worth the hassle, especially for users who are forced to switch from X11.
We used Claude Code to automate neural network training with 16 GPUs on a Kubernetes cluster, achieving a 2.87% improvement in val_bpb and discovering a strategy to exploit performance differences between H100 and H200 GPUs. The agent ran for 8 hours, submitting ~910 experiments and finding that scaling model width mattered more than any single hyperparameter, with a total cost of under $300.
OpenBSD's PF packet filter now supports 64-bit bandwidth values, removing a 4.29 Gbps limit. This change allows correct configuration for high-speed interfaces up to 999G.
After the first level of tuning of the random forest’s parameters, it came time to optimize the features on which the random forest gets trained on. I’ve already did a minor cleanup, but I didn’t...
OpenTTD developers collaborated with Atari on Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release, allowing new Steam and GOG players to purchase TTD first then access OpenTTD for free. This compromise balances Atari's commercial interests with OpenTTD's availability, ensuring the project's continued independence and development.
The author's interest in type design began at 20 years old in 1976 while studying commercial art at North Hennepin Community College. A lettering project sparked this interest, leading to the creation of an original alphabet, Uncial Sans, which ignited a lifelong passion for designing typefaces.
Cover Flow – the iconic carousel of tilted album covers made famous by Apple in the late 2000s – remains a visually striking UI pattern. Originally seen in iTunes and Mac OS X Finder, Cover Flow let users flip through items as if browsing a tangible collection. Today, we can recreate this effect on the web using only HTML and CSS, thanks to advancements like CSS scroll-driven animations. In ...
