The Search API and Fetch API provide access to live web content, allowing agents and RAG applications to search for web pages using a query. Both APIs use the same bearer authentication as the DeepSeek API and return raw JSON results.
Meta revised its terms of service for business accounts after criticism, removing the word "train" but still allowing broad scraping of websites. The new terms will go into effect on October 30 and have raised concerns among media organizations about potential abuse of power.
This project is an open-source, low-cost motorized XYZ Micro-Manipulator with submicron precision for applications like optical alignment and microscopy. It can be controlled via G-Code commands over a USB serial interface.
The author explains parser combinators as a way to parse structured data from unstructured text, using functions that combine and transform parsers. They demonstrate three fundamental combinator functions: pSeq (sequence), pMap (map), and pRepeat (repeat).
The documentary "You Can See Everything" masterfully manipulates viewers' emotions, forcing them to confront how much of their opinion of Elizabeth Holmes comes from the story's narrative rather than facts. The film expertly uses camera angles, editing, and framing to create a visceral experience that challenges viewers' perceptions and biases.
Sphinx is a Git hook that asks questions about code before shipping, built for minimal tokens and compatible with various coding agents. It helps reviewers understand changes by asking questions when things go wrong or succeed.
Scientists have restored bleached coral in a lab by touching it to healthy fragments, giving hope for reversing widespread decline. This process allows the coral to regain its color and nutrients through symbiotic algae transfer.
Teal is a statically-typed Lua dialect with type annotations, aiming to fill the niche of TypeScript in JavaScript. It's implemented as a compiler and has various tools and integrations for building projects.
Type a regex and a string, then watch a marble run the match. See backtracking happen, flags pile up, and catastrophic patterns flood the machine.
Lean's AI agents have improved the proof checker kernel, adding new kernels and tools for rechecking Lean developments. The latest version includes four verified kernels: nanoda, lean4lean, con-leche, and con-ron.
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash is a minor update with improvements in reasoning, coding, and visual benchmarks. It reduces task execution time and output length for faster completion at lower cost.
Pele is a library that renders Mermaid diagrams to SVG with customizable CSS variables. It's used to create flowcharts and other diagrams, rendering them as SVG elements in the browser.
A dam removal movement in the US has led to over 2,500 miles of waterways being reconnected since 2024, with many more dams expected to be removed. The effort aims to restore habitats for fish species such as salmon and alewives that were previously blocked by dams.
This article traces the historical development of CAGD from early shipbuilding techniques to modern NURBS and subdivision surfaces. It highlights key figures like de Casteljau, Bézier, and Riesenfeld, and outlines the evolution of curve and surface representations in computer-aided design.
Furigana is a Japanese font that shows readings on the text itself, supporting custom fonts and working everywhere. It uses ligatures to adopt pronunciation of words and can be installed as a bookmarklet or userscript for easy use.
A southern ground hornbill at Artis Zoo in Amsterdam received 3D-printed prosthetic beaks to replace broken parts after an injury. The bird successfully used its new beak within hours of the surgery, showing promising results for this innovative treatment.
lpviz is an interactive web app for visualizing linear programming solvers. Draw your constraints and objective, and see how methods like IPM, PDHG, Simplex, the Ellipsoid method, and Central Path solve your problem.
The author attempted to make chicken breast transparent by soaking it in a tartrazine solution, similar to a paper that achieved optical transparency in live animals. The goal is to change the refractive index of water inside the tissue to match its embedded media, making it more transparent and allowing for better imaging.
The C64-hw-sim program simulates the Commodore 64 motherboard at a pin-by-pin level, allowing users to test and diagnose faults without damaging the hardware. It runs on macOS and Linux with OpenGL graphics library and interface library nuklear.
The author has extended the C Preprocessor with custom macros to improve its usability, including a print function and macro expansion tracking. These extensions allow for more readable and efficient use of the preprocessor.
Hatching is a monochrome system used in heraldry to represent tinctures with lines and dots, developed during the Renaissance as an alternative to written abbreviations. It became standardized in the 1630s by Silvester Petra Sancta and Marcus Vulson de la Colombière, though debates persist over its true inventor.
The author discusses how large language models can recall obscure facts from every corner of the world, and how this ability is similar to a memory store that holds key-value pairs. The author then develops an intuitive way to look at linear maps, MLPs, and self-attention as different kinds of memory stores.
Tail latency significantly impacts mean latency and concurrency, with p99 contributing 52% and p50 contributing 99%. Optimizing tails reduces costs and improves performance, as they disproportionately drive resource usage and customer experience.
Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the Power To The Players Act to protect consumers by giving them ownership of video games rather than licenses, and requiring publishers to provide offline modes before shutting down servers. This legislation aims to curb anti-consumer business practices such as revocable licenses and aggressive monetization schemes in the gaming industry.
p peas · h headphones · space pause · rings at 5, 10, 20 and 40 m A small flock of mallards going about their day: three hens, two drakes and two broods of ducklings. No recordings. Every quack is synthesized as it happens and heard from where you stand on the bank. I'm wearing headphones
The US is exporting more gold than usual, with most going to Switzerland and Hong Kong, possibly due to foreign governments' concerns about the dollar's value. This surge in exports may be linked to China's growing gold reserves and its efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar.
The author implemented a brute-force search to find an optimal formula for finding the lowest set bit in a float value, and after 4 minutes of computation, they found one that works. The formula is cleverly rewritten to reuse subexpressions, saving one operation.
The user's Codex Desktop app is experiencing unbounded local disk growth due to continuous Crashpad dump generation, despite remaining functional. The issue appears to be a background process continuously generating pending dumps without cleanup or rotation.
Vacuula is an all-in-one solution to repair and control broken Neato Robot vacuums. The project supports various models, including Gen4 robots in "rainbow mode" that won't start.
esp32sim is an emulator that runs ESP32 SoCs, including the S3 and C6 models, with unmodified application images. It boots real mask ROMs and 2nd-stage bootloaders without patched firmware or stubs.
