Signal Protocol introduces the Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet (SPQR) to enhance security against future quantum computing threats. SPQR maintains existing security guarantees of forward secrecy and post-compromise security.
AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in products, but email's immutability makes it valuable for verifying information. Fastmail allows AI tool usage, but with clear privacy-preserving principles and human oversight.
User feels envious of simple static site generation setups but prefers Org mode for blogging due to its code execution and session features. User values Org's convenience but acknowledges overcomplicating their publishing workflow.
playball is a terminal-based MLB game viewer that can be configured using the config subcommand. It allows users to customize colors for various game events and team abbreviations.
The super stem cells prevent age-related bone loss while rejuvenating over 50% of the 61 tissues analyzed. Treatment with stem cells reduces inflammation and senescent cells (cells that accumulate to promote aging). While small in number, our adult stem cells play a crucial role in regenerating our lost or damaged tissues, rebuilding our body cell by cell. However, with age, our bodies become ...
You often work long hours with many interruptions and struggle to maintain focus. To avoid overworking and maintain productivity, write down your next steps and plan before leaving the office.
The author rewrote their blog using Lua, a simple language with minimal dependencies, to avoid the complexity and maintenance issues of their previous Racket-based setup. They chose Lua for its ease of use, flexibility, and stability, allowing them to focus on features and understanding how they work.
Railway's previous planning process was flawed, leading to more ceremony than clarity. They now use Problem Driven Development, a 4-day quarterly process focused on identifying problems, prioritizing, and committing publicly.
Researchers release a throughput-optimized megakernel for tensor-parallel inference with Llama-70B on H100s, achieving a 22% increase in end-to-end throughput compared to SGLang. The megakernel uses a pipelined instruction interpreter to overlap compute, memory, and communication operations, and can be used to optimize for both low-latency and high-throughput inference workloads.
RISC-V lacks a direct equivalent to csel, a family of instructions that can evaluate conditions and select values. To mitigate this, some cores perform macro fusion of short forward branches into conditional moves, but this requires retaining branch-like properties to avoid violating the memory model.
n8n is releasing data tables (beta) in v1.113 for all plans, allowing users to store data between workflow executions without switching platforms. A 50MB limit is set, but self-hosted users can adjust it via the N8N_DATA_TABLES_MAX_SIZE_BYTES ENV variable.

A Dutch judge ruled that Meta must give users on Instagram and Facebook the option to select a non-profiled feed as per the Digital Services Act. The judge ordered Meta to adjust its apps to preserve users' choices, a move that Bits of Freedom hailed as a victory for user autonomy.
Israel's war in Gaza has pushed parts of the territory into famine, with nearly a third of the population facing extreme food shortages. The UN-backed IPC report says Israel is using food as a weapon against Palestinians, violating international law.
Joshua Rogers found 22 bugfixes using AI-assisted tools and there are many more issues to review. The tools provided valuable code analysis, but also highlighted potential security flaws.
The Future-proof File Format (F3) is a next-generation open-source file format designed for interoperability, extensibility, and efficiency, addressing the limitations of existing formats like Parquet and ORC. F3 embeds WebAssembly (Wasm) binaries in each file to ensure compatibility and extensibility, allowing developers to easily add new encoding schemes and features without breaking ...
