Pebble watch software is now 100% open source, ensuring long-term reliability through decentralization. Core Devices, the company behind the relaunch, is self-funded and aims to continue manufacturing Pebble watches as long as it stays profitable.
Anthropic's Claude AI agent uses three features to improve tool use workflows: Tool Search Tool, Programmatic Tool Calling, and Tool Use Examples. These features reduce token consumption, latency, and improve accuracy by enabling dynamic discovery, efficient execution, and reliable invocation of tools.
HelixGuard detected over 300 NPM registry components poisoned with malware that steals sensitive information and exfiltrates it via GitHub Actions. The malware, similar to the 'Shai-Hulud' attack, uses TruffleHog for secret scanning and achieves worm-like propagation by modifying package.json and using stolen tokens.
SSDs can lose data if left unpowered for years, especially those with TLC or QLC NAND, which can retain data for up to 3 years and 1 year respectively. To prevent data loss, use alternate storage media and invest in a backup system.
The author tested Google's Gemini 3 model and found it to be very good at coding and general tasks. It can work with code to do anything on a computer, making it a general-purpose tool.
Claude Opus 4.5 is a new AI model available today, offering improved efficiency and capabilities in coding, agents, and computer use. It's now more accessible with a lower price point of $5/$25 per million tokens.
cool-retro-term is a customizable terminal emulator mimicking old cathode tube screens. It's available for Linux and macOS, with packages in most distributions or downloadable from the Releases page.
The author's writing career began on Neopets.com, where she published over 30 stories in The Neopian Times. She also learned HTML on the site, which helped her develop valuable skills in web design.

The history of LLM extension over the last three years has seen various mechanisms emerge, from simple system prompts to complex client-server protocols, with the goal of allowing end users to customize these systems. The latest development, Agent Skills, represents a significant step towards this goal, allowing users to give agents instructions and generic tools, and trusting them to do the ...

DDR5 RAM prices have surged due to AI demand, with a 64 GB kit costing $599, a 190% increase in just 2 months. Experts predict DRAM and NAND constraints will continue through 2026 as Big Tech pursues AGI, affecting consumer prices.
The author shares their experience in optimizing performance by focusing on data, including visualizing data flow, transforming suboptimal data, and specializing algorithms to suit specific data. Key techniques include reducing data access, using streaming non-temporal writes, compressing types, and vectorizing algorithms, which can lead to significant speedups.
Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are prone to vibration, which can cause positional errors and affect performance, but internal vibration can be minimized by using good quality fans and rigidly coupling HDDs to a massive chassis. A server's design must carefully balance mass, rigidity, and vibration suppression to prevent HDD vibration from causing performance degradation or non-recoverable errors.

Corvus Robotics is hiring a generalist leader to scale manufacturing operations for its autonomous logistics drones. The ideal candidate has hardware experience, clear communication, and Mandarin proficiency.
The author compares the performance and fairness of Rust's standard Mutex and parking_lot's Mutex, finding that parking_lot's Mutex is more predictable and fair under heavy contention, but standard Mutex is faster in low-contention scenarios. The author recommends using parking_lot's Mutex when risk of monopolization exists or when fairness is crucial, but standard Mutex is sufficient for ...
The intrinsically disordered periodic architecture inherent in natural biomaterials exhibits significant potential for serving as resonant cavities, enabling the development of eco-friendly, biocompatible, and cost-effective microlaser systems. In this study, we demonstrate a biomaterial-based random laser utilizing birch leaf–derived carbon dots (CDs) as the gain medium. CDs ethanol solution ...

Google Cloud's Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) has successfully scaled to 130,000 nodes, twice the officially supported limit, and sustained Pod throughput of 1,000 Pods per second. This extreme scalability is made possible by architectural innovations such as a strongly consistent API server watch cache and a proprietary key-value store based on Google's Spanner distributed database.
Researchers have made significant progress in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that can decode brain signals and enable people with paralysis to control devices. However, concerns about data privacy and the potential for manipulation or discrimination have led to calls for regulation and guidelines on the use of BCIs and neural data.
The author presents a nuanced view of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by examining its various features, including encapsulation, inheritance, and message passing, and discusses their pros and cons. The article argues that OOP encourages certain programming styles that can lead to performance issues, scattered code, and unnecessary complexity, but also provides benefits such as open ...
The IETF's TLS working group is standardizing a non-hybrid post-quantum cryptography document that adds just PQ as another TLS option, despite concerns about its security and lack of consensus. An IETF area director dodged procedural objections and made false claims about the adoption call results, failing to address the central security argument for ECC+PQ.
GrapheneOS is relocating its servers from France due to safety concerns and negative press coverage. The project will continue to be available to French users but its website and discussion servers will be hosted abroad.
Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's 1905 story "Sultana's Dream" is considered one of the first significant works of Indian science fiction in English, anticipating many themes that would shape the genre in the 20th century. The story's themes of utopian society, techno-optimism, and feminist critique of patriarchy have influenced later science fiction writers, including those from India, and continue ...
