A new port for Wine has been proposed in OpenBSD-ports, allowing 64-bit Windows software to run on the system. The port is still experimental and requires testing, with some limitations such as WoW64 not working.
We released Timestral, a family of time-series foundation models that outperform the previous state-of-the-art with fewer parameters. The models deliver probabilistic forecasts and support various covariates, making them suitable for industrial plants and finance teams.
Linus Torvalds released the 7.3 kernel, a record-breaker with 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers. The merge window for 7.4 opens tomorrow and will be unusual due to the author's vacation schedule.
Researchers are developing alternatives to animal testing in drug development, with organ-on-a-chip systems and computational simulations showing promise. These new approaches aim to replace animal models, but face challenges such as validation and standardization.
CERN and Mistral partner to develop a large-scale AI model for scientific discovery, combining expertise in physics and computing. The partnership aims to advance AI capabilities for the broader scientific community, particularly in high-energy physics.

The Observability Ontology is a machine-readable agreement about entities in the operational world, created to standardize how different systems understand concepts like applications, services, and incidents. This ontology enables end-to-end observability by providing a unified data layer for metrics, events, logs and traces (MELT).
Let's Encrypt is adding two new remote perspectives for domain validation to improve security and meet Baseline Requirements. The change will require seven total validation requests, including one from the primary datacenter and six from remote perspectives.
The author argues that it's still okay to enjoy programming outside of work, despite the changing economics and pressure from online communities. They share their personal experience of learning game programming on weekends for fun, exploring new ideas and concepts without a specific goal in mind.
KiviDB is a fast, multi-threaded key-value database written in Rust that supports Redis protocol and has built-in full-text and vector search. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for Redis in closed-source or commercial applications without requiring any modifications.
The European Space Agency's Hera mission will make history by rendezvousing with the binary Dimorphos-Didymos asteroid pair in one month. The mission, launched on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket, aims to study the impact of NASA's DART mission and provide a follow-up view of the resulting handiwork.
A doctor named Otto, who cared for his elderly mother Doria after she suffered a stroke, was suspected of murdering her by the police and forensic experts. He had documented her health meticulously but was accused of fabricating evidence to frame himself in a plagiarism scandal involving Matthias Graw, a respected forensic pathologist.
Gdynia, a Baltic fishing village, was transformed into a modern port in the 1920s to fulfill Poland's ambitions for independence and security after World War I. The city became an alternative capital of modern Poland, symbolizing its aspirations for global influence and prosperity, but also struggled with poverty and conflict with neighboring Germany.
We can build Hybrid Reasoning Agents that bridge latent reasoning and text-based interaction, enabling efficient agentic capabilities. These agents improve performance by 10.4% while reducing tokens, inference time, and costs compared to existing LLM agents and frameworks.
The author reflects on their experience working at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, where they were drawn to the exhibit of shrunken heads and eventually landed a job. The museum's collection of human specimens, including skulls, became a source of comfort and solace for the author as they navigated grief and trauma after learning about their mother's murder.
Economists initially dismissed allegations of price-fixing in the egg industry, attributing high prices to bird flu and pandemic disruptions. However, a federal investigation found evidence of a scheme among three major egg producers to artificially drive up prices.
The model has been trained on a large dataset of human writing and uses LoRA adapters to improve its performance. The new model is expected to be better than the original, but further testing is needed to confirm this.
HUMXN partners with homeowners to record skilled laborers' work in exchange for free services, providing real-world data for AI robots. The company subsidizes home repairs and pays residents for access to their premises.
User is frustrated with a complex system, wanting more detailed analytics and control over their data. They want to own their infrastructure and application visibility, rather than relying on a paid subscription service.
The author claims Autodesk trademarked "cyberspace" and William Gibson retaliated by trying to trademark "Eric Gullichsen", but this is a disputed story. The actual reason for Gibson's objection was Timothy Leary's prank, which was later exaggerated into accepted history.
The enormous advance in AI capabilities is driven by the availability of vast amounts of training data, with recent advances being largely due to scale. Researchers are now working on gathering large amounts of robot task training data to improve robotic capabilities.
A hacker used an army of AI agents to breach over 100 websites, including John Deere and SharkNinja, with the attacks taking about 23 hours. The incident highlights growing concerns over AI-powered cybersecurity breaches as rogue AI agents carry out large-scale attacks.
A Plex media server vulnerability was discovered, allowing threat actors to gain remote code execution. The exploit has been observed in the wild and is being used by attackers to access corporate VPNs and emails through residential IP proxies.
Good products are shaped by the people who make them, reflecting their experience and perspective. Without a shared understanding and unified point of view, software can become a collection of features without character or soul.
Researchers tested 70 dogs' reactions to sounds associated with round and spiky shapes, finding they looked at the correct shape when hearing its sound. The study suggests dogs may have a universal connection between visual and auditory information like humans do.
The user has finished the "b" version of the LT6502, a retro console with improved specs such as a thinner design and higher resolution screen. The new model lacks an expansion slot but features a faster processor, IPS screen, and WiFi modem, while also requiring improvements in areas like battery life and sound quality.
The µRepRap is a 3D printer designed to achieve micron-scale fabrication using common materials, with the goal of advancing microelectronics and MEMS technology. It aims to replicate the capabilities of desktop fabrication on a smaller scale, enabling inexpensive and rapidly-evolving equipment for biological sciences and microelectronics.
