French geneticist Jean-Francois Deleuze's AGENOMICS study aims to identify genetic patterns among long-lived French citizens and compare them to centenarians from blue zones. The blue zones concept, popularized by Dan Buettner, has been questioned due to declining numbers of healthy seniors in original regions and commercialization of the brand.
The user is learning Clojure and finds it ergonomic and powerful, preferring it over Common Lisp and Scheme due to its cohesive design and large standard library. They appreciate Clojure's simplicity and uniformity, but acknowledge some pain points, such as its syntax and the need to learn Java for interop.
An attacker can steal a GitHub token by exploiting a vulnerability in VSCode's webviews, allowing them to install malicious extensions and gain full code execution. The attack involves creating a Jupyter notebook with a payload that installs a local workspace extension, which can then be used to steal the token.
The user is frustrated with Gmail's new AI features that nag and interrupt them while composing emails. They're switching to Fastmail after 16 years with Gmail due to the unwanted features.

This walking tour in downtown Seattle aims to expose the hidden layers of surveillance technology in the city, including cameras, license plate readers, and data collection systems, and to raise questions about their use and impact on society. The tour highlights various surveillance tools and sites, including Amazon Go, Acyclica, the Washington State Fusion Center, and a peering site, and ...
A Stanford study found law professors prefer AI-generated answers to student questions over human-written ones, with AI winning 75% of head-to-head matchups. The study suggests AI can be a valuable tool in legal education, offering high-quality, on-demand support that complements classroom instruction.
The Open Repair Data Standard (ORDS) helps combine repair data on electronics by defining a shared approach. It collects data on product, repair, and session information to identify trends globally and locally.
Pluto version 1.0 is released, celebrating six years of progress and making scientific computing more accessible and fun. Pluto is an interactive environment for notebook programming in Julia, with features like reproducibility, accessibility, and reactivity.
Kapa's AI assistant uses a vision model at indexing time to describe images as text, then retrieves these descriptions alongside text chunks at query time, improving answer quality and reducing costs. This approach, which involves describing images once at ingestion and storing them as separate text chunks, outperforms query-time vision and is more cost-effective for large-scale applications.
Roku LT OS is a lightweight, open-source operating system for embedded systems and automotive engineering. It provides a powerful, predictable framework for high-performance hardware-level development.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order addressing AI-driven cyber threats with a voluntary review process for AI companies. The order aims to enhance national security and global AI dominance while avoiding heavy federal oversight.
Mental health continues to deteriorate worldwide with 46% of people struggling or languishing. New technologies like AI can play a positive role in mental health support, but also have negative effects on mental well-being.

Our target is to make Capstone the ultimate disassembly engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community. Multi-architectures: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), BPF, Ethereum VM, M68K, M680X, Mips, MOS65XX, PowerPC, RISC-V, SH, Sparc, SystemZ, TMS320C64X, TriCore, Webassembly, XCore and X86 (16, 32, 64). Provide some semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit ...
Systemd timers are a modern alternative to traditional cron jobs, offering more flexibility and features such as stdout and stderr output control and calendar versus time span units. They can be configured to run at specific times, intervals, or relative to other events, and provide a clear picture of scheduled tasks with the list-timers subcommand.
At Google I/O this week, the company announced the biggest change to Search in 25 years. The ten blue links? Gone. Instead, you get — first at times? soon always? — “generative UI”, an “intelligent search box” with custom interactive widgets, built on the fly by Gemini. You get “information agents” that monitor the web for you around the clock. You get mini-apps you can build right inside the ...
Project Glasswing is expanding to 150 new organizations in 15 countries to secure software with AI. The goal is to adapt to AI's changing cybersecurity landscape and prevent catastrophic attacks affecting over 100 million people.
FidoNet is a point-to-point email network that uses modems to connect over 20,000 nodes worldwide, allowing users to send and receive email and news.
