Regulators are pushing social media platforms to verify users' ages, but this creates a technical problem: collecting personal data to prove age. Platforms are using intrusive verification systems that often conflict with data-privacy laws.
The user used AI to help port a Linux Wi-Fi driver to FreeBSD, but the process was complicated and messy, so they decided to create a detailed specification of how the driver works and then used the AI to implement it from scratch. The user successfully created a working FreeBSD kernel module for the BCM4350 Wi-Fi chip using the AI, but advises against using it for anything beyond a studying ...
The notation $f(x) = g(x) + O(1)$ means the difference between $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ is bounded by a constant. It implies an upper bound, $f(x) \le g(x) + C$, but not a lower bound.
Ladybird is rewriting parts in Rust for better safety guarantees and ecosystem support. The first target was LibJS, Ladybird's JavaScript engine, which was translated from C++ in two weeks with zero regressions.

The author ported Shufflepuck Cafe to the Apple II, a 1979 platform, without losing playability or details. They overcame challenges such as sprite display, mouse handling, and memory limitations.
Tech companies spent billions on AI last year and are expected to spend $700 billion this year, but economists disagree on its impact on the US economy. Some say AI investment drives growth, while others claim its contribution is minimal due to imported equipment and lack of reliable measurement methods.
Brian Lucey, a professor at Trinity College Dublin, was removed as editor from 5 journals after 12 papers he co-authored were retracted due to a conflict of interest.

The xsync library outperforms other implementations in nearly every scenario with best read, write, and iteration scaling, and lowest allocations among non-sharded designs. However, it has significant performance degradation at sizes ≥100K with writes and limited scalability due to a fixed 32 shards design.

The user analyzed 2,671 images of popular websites worldwide using AI to identify web design patterns and found that Japan's web design is relatively unique in its concentration of lighter-colored and denser design. The user explored possible causes including writing systems, cultural differences, and technology, concluding that Japan's web design trajectory has been influenced by its unique ...
The Lighthouse film explores the effects of isolation on the mind, with characters experiencing hallucinations and losing grip on reality. Social isolation can be damaging to mental and physical health, leading to hallucinations and erratic behavior.
Dijkstra criticized the GO TO statement for inviting program messes, but Scheme programmers can emulate its style using the call/cc procedure. A Scheme macro, goto, can be implemented using call/cc to provide a limited context for jumping around in a program.
