The author, a software engineer, took an EMT course in 2024 after years of interest and finally getting the time off. They found the training to be fun and valuable for its own sake, despite initial concerns about usefulness.
Yann LeCun, a pioneer in deep learning, disagrees with fellow AI researcher Dario Amodei that artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. He believes the risks are overblown and think many warnings from executives at leading AI companies are misguided.
Cloudflare's Artifacts is a versioned filesystem that enables agents to collaborate on code, with features like programmable primitives and Git operations. Users can build their own products and workflows using Artifacts in open beta, competing for the next Git platform on Cloudflare.
The author hacked time using C2PA metadata to verify winning lottery numbers, but discovered a vulnerability in the exclusion feature that allows tampering with images after fact-checking. The exclusion feature can be used to sign an empty string, making it difficult to detect tampering without explicit specification of allowed exclusions for each file format.
The photographer discovered a pattern in their years of taking photos of benches, revealing changes in design that excluded people with nowhere else to go. Through reviewing their archive, they realized they had unintentionally documented the evolution of "hostile architecture" over time.
FTL is a userspace OS library that isolates containers and provides a hypervisor-like interface, making it easy to add features and debug. It combines the best of microkernels and monolithic kernels for secure and performant operation.
NASA is considering reviving the SR-71 Blackbird, a high-speed spy plane that disappeared in 1999. Tim Conners, former lead propulsion engineer for NASA's Blackbird program, believes it could be used as an engine test bed to develop new high-speed engines.
The Home Office's Prevent counter-extremism program has been criticized for monitoring and storing online criticism, with 77 "observations" made by the Prevent Standards and Compliance Unit (StaCU) in a year. The government-linked body collects data from social media platforms to independently verify claims against the program.

Optimize by using inline assembly for critical paths and minimize memory access patterns. Leverage hardware-specific features like MMX or SSE for performance gains in emulation.
Thoreau BASIC offers improved features and syntax, including 64-bit memory and native x64 JIT compilation. It also supports various file systems, networking, sound playback, and debugging tools.
The pi harness is a customizable and elegant software that offers freedom from AI companies, while its minimal approach leaves certain aspects lacking. The pi pod project aims to consolidate this capability into a simple and elegant software for self-hosting or future hosted service.
The author of Cities: Skylines 2 is disappointed with the game's aesthetics, finding it too sanitized and lacking in realism. They yearn for a more authentic representation of city life, with imperfections and character that reflect real-world urban environments.
The author created a system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology to track the movement of six bins, integrating it with Home Assistant for reminders and notifications. The system uses fixed radio anchors and small battery tags to estimate distance, which is then used to determine if a bin has moved far enough from its usual storage area.
Docker uses microVMs, stripped-down Linux kernels on minimalist VMMs like firecracker, for secure and fast workloads. Docker's microVM tech is the foundation of both Desktop and Sandboxes, offering strict isolation and governance.
