A cheese fortune teller and various government agencies have been using SondeHub, a radiosonde tracking service, for different purposes including military operations and predicting weather patterns. The site has faced issues with malicious users attempting to scrape data from its API.
Inco AI's DFlash 2 improves inference efficiency by predicting every position independently in parallel, reducing suffix decay and increasing throughput. It achieves this with a new selector that chooses the right path through candidates and a block-local convolution that absorbs local work.
Codex, Amp, Cursor, and others are starting to standardize around AGENTS.md (https://agents.md/) — a unified Markdown file that coding agents can use to understand a codebase. By contrast, CLAUDE.md feels too specific to Claude Code. It ...
Gardner, Kansas, has shut down Flock Safety cameras and canceled its contract due to privacy concerns. The city cites ongoing evaluation of technology and resources, while critics worry about data access and tracking capabilities.

The C:\WINDOWS\WINSTART.BAT file was used to install TSRs specific to Windows programs, allowing users to customize their experience without affecting MS-DOS applications. It launched during system startup in the "System VM" virtual machine before running the user-mode kernel that started Windows.
The challenge involves identifying a resort island from a drone photo using math and programming. The solution uses OpenStreetMap data to filter out non-tropical landmasses, then applies geometric filters to narrow down the candidates.
This is a map of penny press machines from around the world. We have mapped most of the penny presses in the USA.
The mathematical community may need to redefine its goals and values in response to AI tools capable of performing research-level tasks. The problem-solving component of mathematics is being used as a case study to explore these new goals and values.
Olivier Fourdan ofourdan at redhat.com has released Xwayland 26.0.99.901, the first release candidate for the upcoming standalone Xwayland 26.1.0 release, with notable changes including EGLStream support removal and clipboard/primary selection bridge implementation in rootful mode; multi-seat via Xi2: Wayland seats and their devices are mirrored into an XInput 2 hierarchy; RandR emulation now ...
Supermarket shopping abroad has become a beloved travel ritual, offering authentic local experiences through everyday items. It allows travelers to engage with a destination's culture in an unscripted, accessible way.
Ornith-1.5 is a self-improving model that achieves state-of-the-art performance across various benchmarks, including Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE, with strong general-purpose intelligence in reasoning, agentic, and coding tasks.
A DIY Geiger counter was built using a large Chinese J306β tube, which is rated for 88 counts per minute at average background radiation. The counter has two ranges and can measure low-level radiation levels with high sensitivity.
A 50-year-old retired programmer reminisces about using the NLS (oNline System) code editor, developed by Doug Engelbart in 1972, which was faster and more efficient than modern IDEs. The key innovations included a mouse and keyset combination to control the user interface.
fx is a coding agent harness and CLI written in Zig, optimized for research and embeddability. It aims to mimic Unix shell style output with minimalism and performance.
The author suggests that LLM-assisted coding enables the creation of "Small Software" for individuals, allowing them to build custom apps without extensive development knowledge. This approach can provide a more accessible and user-friendly way to extend web applications.
A new protocol called CHAP (Collaborative Human-Agent Protocol) is being developed to facilitate auditable, structured collaboration between humans and agents. This allows for better tracking of decisions made during the collaboration process.
CSS is getting a new Class Prefix Selector (.prefix-*) to target multiple classes with the same prefix without brittle selectors or extra classes. This feature is still in the spec and not yet implemented in browsers.
The author created a DIY air cleaner unit, the 'DeisBox', using PC fans and metal frames to improve airflow and reduce noise. The units have been successfully used in various environments for over a year, offering a quiet and professional solution for cleaning shared air.
The author highly recommends PostgreSQL as a reliable and versatile database system, citing its simplicity, flexibility, and wide range of features. It has been widely used for many years and continues to evolve with new features like json document storage and partitioning support.
A new study found that remote workers reported the highest levels of well-being, while onsite workers had the lowest. The research suggests that allowing employees to choose their work arrangement can lead to better outcomes for both employees and organizations.
Use hands or phone gyro to control sound volume and pitch in mid-air, with a laptop webcam also working. Press start on a mouse to calibrate the device for your grip.
Researchers have temporarily slowed the pace of scaling AI model development due to growing risks associated with increasingly capable systems, including a potential critical cybersecurity capability threshold. They are strengthening monitoring, alignment, and containment safeguards across all stages of the training process to ensure models behave as intended and responsive to human oversight.
