Researchers found that frontier LLMs can read and write neural network weights, a capability known as Weight-Space Programming. This allows them to understand and improve the performance of neural networks without training or gradient information.
Auto Ontology is an open library that builds a context layer for agents to access and analyze data from enterprise metadata, reconciling definitions across systems. It provides a semantic catalog/ontology layer over relational sources, stored in Postgres alongside the catalog it describes.
Toit v2.0.0 is released after 4+ years of alpha development with over 200 releases, featuring significant improvements and stability. The new version includes a major refactor allowing peripheral APIs to accept pin numbers directly, but more features are planned for future releases.
A team at MIT CSAIL reports early experiments with GPT-6 Astra, a language model that can modify neural-network weights without writing a training loop. HackerTube gathered 6,454 YouTube videos mentioned by Hacker News readers over nearly two decades.
Revolut moved 2,000 engineers to self-hosted GLM for coding and improved engineering lead time by 70%. The move allowed them to allocate resources more efficiently without rationing tokens.
RISC-V silicon has arrived, enabling industrial computers with open interfaces and no single company ownership. ERICI coordinates a reference stack for firmware to operating systems on real RVA23 hardware.
Every single thing in this gallery is a real object from The Met's Open Access collection, at its real size. Start small. Coins, thimbles, netsuke. End with the Temple of Dendur. This is a project by Jay Mollica. Objects: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Open Access (CC0).
A web archiving enthusiast shares tools to preserve favorite websites, including browser extensions and a standalone app, after discovering a beloved anime fansite was replaced with online gambling ads. The author encourages readers to take action and archive their own sites using standard formats like WARC.
A new approach to photography called Vathography breaks down a photograph into its volume, allowing for creative control over depth and focus. This method uses Marigold V2's fine detail capabilities to infer depth from a single image, enabling artists to compose with depth and volume in ways previously impossible.
The concept of efficiency in computer science has been poorly defined, leading to a focus on theoretical complexity rather than practical implementation. This has resulted in confusing and often irrelevant results, with many algorithms being deemed "good" or "efficient" based on arbitrary criteria.
The author reflects on the trade-offs of using agents in software development, finding a balance between trust and control. They discuss the potential downsides of relying too heavily on agents, including technical debt and loss of mechanical sympathy.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a guide for small business owners, specifically solopreneurs, to protect their businesses from cyberattacks. The guide provides actionable cybersecurity basics tailored to the needs of solo entrepreneurs with limited technical knowledge or financial investment.
PsiQuantum unveiled its Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) technology, a low-loss silicon photonics platform for AI infrastructure. The company's demonstration vehicle shows promising results in switching data efficiently between systems.
Mo tests the app end-to-end to verify critical flows and find bugs, using Momentic's automated testing capabilities. The user flow involves adding terminology, expected behavior, and test guidance to the Knowledge base, running tests against the app with AI-assisted steps and reviewing proposed repairs.
Central Warsaw in 1 m voxels, built from OpenStreetMap, LiDAR and the city's tree database. Walk around the Palace of Culture, change the date, hour and weather, or possess a pedestrian. Inspired by Minecraft, MagicaVoxel and Dungeon Keeper.
Our gate remotes send on 433 MHz, and I wanted to see what those signals looked like. A cheap AliExpress copy remote couldn’t learn them. So I put a CC1101 radio module on a CJMCU-232H, an FT232H board that plugs straight into the laptop. Six jumper wires and a Python script: no microcontroller to flash, nothing to solder. This setup and test was just to prove that the FTDI board could be ...
This paper compares OpenAirInterface (OAI) and srsRAN, two open-source 5G RAN implementations, to evaluate their performance in various scenarios. The study assesses supported features, deployment flexibility and radio resource control setup procedures for different applications like VoD, LS and CG.
The author successfully optimized a NixOS installation to run on 512MB RAM, significantly reducing memory usage. The configuration involved disabling various kernel modules, services, and features to achieve this goal.
Pick the skills you want, then make small real edits in a browser Vim editor. Each skill runs two guided edits, two prompted edits, and two independent edits. Any valid edit that reaches the target text passes. Type :help in Normal mode for the current commands.
TechCrunch articles have an autoplaying video that can't be hidden. Blocking scripts with uBlock Origin's MV2 version stops the video from loading and removes the empty box left behind.
Mathematicians must reevaluate the purpose of their work in light of AI's development, considering what gives mathematical work its worth and whether truths exist independently. The pursuit of truth should shape intellectual life, not just individual achievements or recognition.
OpenAI built Pando, a new backend for Git repositories, to scale with the increased size and demands of its monorepo. Pando optimizes writes and reads by reusing packfiles across fetches and using a relaxed consistency model.
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory explores the universe's biggest, smallest, and fastest scales to develop new tools and materials. It advances areas like quantum technology and scientific computing to shape a healthier future.
Polyend is releasing Tracker firmware source code and Community Edition 1.0 on GitHub, allowing users to modify and share their own versions. The update includes new features such as sample editing, effects, and synth engines for the original Tracker and its variants.
In 1996, IBM's Deep Blue beat Kasparov, but a 200 MHz Pentium Pro with modern chess engines could have done the same. Modern engines like Stockfish, adapted to 1996 hardware, now surpass Deep Blue's capabilities through better programming, not just faster hardware.
Ubuntu's 22.04, 24.04, and 26.04 LTS releases lack patched kernels due to a critical CVE-2026-98432 vulnerability with a CVSS rating of 9.8. Affected systems remain exposed until official kernel packages are released by Ubuntu without an announced ETA for the fixes.
