AMD acquired AI chip company Taalas, which etches model weights into silicon for faster inference performance. The deal aims to boost AI hardware and compete with Nvidia's dominance in the market.
The author is skeptical about AI prototypes being presented as products, as they often lack real-world use and user engagement. A true product requires more than just AI capabilities, it needs users and a functional ecosystem.
To find the best Mario Kart 8 build, use the Pareto front to eliminate dominated options and focus on the efficient drivers that balance speed and acceleration. This objective criteria helps filter out suboptimal choices, but you still need to make a final decision based on your play style and preferences.
Atomic clocks use tiny particles called atoms to keep time, which are more stable and precise than human-made clocks. By tuning light to the atoms' resonant frequency, we can measure time with incredible accuracy, billions of times more precise than other clocks.
The author argues that the value of human judgement, or "taste," has become more important in software development now that machines can generate code quickly and efficiently. However, this judgement is difficult to measure and is often overlooked in favor of productivity and efficiency, leading to a flood of mediocre software that lacks quality and purpose.
Scientists using the U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope discovered Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability on the Sun's surface. This finding could help explain explosive solar activity and other solar phenomena, and may be a key reason why the Sun's outer atmosphere gets hot.
Researchers developed a bioengineered chewing gum that reduced HPV by 93% and nearly eliminated two bacteria linked to head and neck cancer. The gum preserved beneficial mouth bacteria, raising hopes for a safer and more affordable therapy for head and neck cancer.
Jevons paradox occurs when a lower resource cost leads to increased total spend due to increased usage. The Reverse Jevons paradox happens when a higher resource cost leads to decreased total spend due to reduced usage.
The author had a problem with a drawer full of USB-C cables that looked the same but had different capabilities. They solved the issue by using a $15 cable tester to determine which cables could charge their devices the quickest.

We want AI to create something good without understanding how it works, but it's like a steak machine that can follow a recipe but not know what we actually want. We need to learn to cook with AI, understand its limitations, and judge its results to produce what we want.
I just received an email about a limited data breach, leaking customer information (no billing info though). Do you guys think Framework is handling this well? The email looked very detailed and transparent to me.
GitHub's Status Page - Incident with Actions.
Nepal's National Cyber Security Centre has joined Have I Been Pwned's free gov service to monitor government domains against data breaches. This will help Nepal identify and respond to exposed government email addresses and compromised credentials.
We build PCBs in the US, delivering boards to drone and defense teams within 7 days. Our domestic build process ensures on-time shipping and complete audit trails for every order.
Helio da Silva, a 73-year-old retiree, planted over 40,000 trees in São Paulo's Tiquatira Linear Park, transforming a crime-ridden wasteland into a thriving green space. His dedication and scientific approach have improved air quality, reduced pollution, and provided a habitat for over 45 species of birds.
Can, the Herdr creator, realized he was the bottleneck and built a runtime to manage agents and development style. He wants to keep the runtime free and open, and is joining Y Combinator to build a team and expand Herdr's features.
In Estonia, residents turn their private gardens, courtyards, and garages into temporary cafes for one day in July, a tradition known as Kodukohvikute Päev. This event allows visitors to experience everyday Estonian life and taste homemade food and drinks.
A fly fishing trainer with a simulated river. Find the lies, place the fly, know the bug — and get told why, every time.

New Orleans is using AI to answer 911 calls to reduce the volume of calls human dispatchers must handle, which is over a thousand emergency calls a day. The AI system assesses incoming calls and directs callers to a human dispatcher or provides information, prioritizing emergency calls and handling non-urgent calls during surges.
A browser game testing human-in-the-loop approval of AI coding agent commands found 32.9% of sessions ended with a negative score due to approved threats and blocked safe commands. Players caught threats most reliably when they were blatantly destructive, but missed commands that exfiltrated credentials three times as often.
A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay over $900 million and limit underage users' time on Facebook and Instagram. The order includes a $567 million abatement fund and safety features like hiding likes and disclosing risks.
As of a recent update, my phone has started detecting me going on a run as "someone snatching my phone and running off". This insta-locks the screen and kicks me out of the app I use to pace my runs. gaaaaah
ChipTycoon is a theme park simulation of a chip factory where a cart carries a silicon wafer through 20 stages of chip production. The park shows four laps of the six-building cycle, with explanations at each stop and adjustable speed.
To access Dawn of the Machine, a free update for Quake, update your game automatically if you already own Quake. Dawn of the Machine is available on XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One, Microsoft PC Store, Game Pass, Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch 2 via backwards compatibility.
The user is explaining the architecture of a modern high-throughput LLM inference system, specifically the vLLM engine, which enables high-throughput inference in an offline setting but requires additional components for online, async, multi-GPU, multi-node inference. The user breaks down the engine's components, including the engine core, model executor, scheduler, and KV-cache manager, and ...
Channels connects AI agents to communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing them to understand conversations and respond natively. It uses CopilotKit Intelligence to manage connections and deliver responses, with a guide to set up a Channels agent in a project.
You're working on a mechatronics project with an X-Y cartesian motion system using stepper motors and timing belts. You've designed an integrated loopback fastener into the actuated component to secure the timing belt, eliminating the need for additional parts.
