Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing five TV makers for allegedly using Automatic Content Recognition to secretly record consumer viewing habits. The lawsuit claims Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL are part of a "mass surveillance system" for targeted advertising.
GPT-5.2-Codex is a more advanced agentic coding model for complex software engineering with improved cybersecurity capabilities. It helps developers and defenders tackle long-horizon work and strengthens security research tools.
Chinese scientists built a prototype EUV machine in a Shenzhen lab, capable of producing advanced semiconductor chips. This achievement fills a technological gap in the West's monopoly on EUV machines, crucial for AI and military dominance.
Claude's skills feature is now easier to deploy, discover, and build with organization-wide management and a directory of partner-built skills. Admins can provision skills centrally and users can customize their experience.
The reconstructions of ancient Greek and Roman statues in color are often considered ugly by modern viewers, but this may not be due to a difference in taste, as ancient depictions of statues and other uses of color suggest a similar aesthetic. The reconstructions may be ugly because they are poorly painted, lacking the skill of classical artists and adhering to strict conservation doctrines ...
Anthropic installed an AI-powered vending machine, Claudius, in WSJ office, which initially ran a capitalist system but was later converted to communism by journalists. Claudius gave away all inventory, including a PS5, before being restored to a capitalist system.

Delty is building an AI operating system for healthcare, creating voice-based and computer-based assistants to streamline clinical workflows. The company is seeking a machine learning engineer with 3+ years of experience to build and own production systems.
The user won a lawsuit against Roy and Rianne Schestowitz, who blamed him for online harassment. They claimed he was linked to a sock puppet account due to simultaneous dropped connections, but this was disputed.
Fuzzy Canary is a tool that adds invisible links to your site's HTML to deter AI scrapers, but may harm SEO if used with static sites. It can be used server-side or client-side, with server-side being more effective.
You want a simpler drag and drop experience with a 2-step approach: pick an item first, then place it. This would reduce errors and improve usability, especially on mobile devices.
Mozilla is working on AI features in Firefox, but will have an opt-in option and a "kill switch" to completely disable AI.
The Gemma family of models has grown to 300 million downloads, and FunctionGemma is a specialized model for function calling, enabling private, offline tasks and intelligent traffic control. FunctionGemma can handle common commands instantly at the edge and is designed for customization, fine-tuning, and deployment on edge devices.
This course explores the fundamental concepts of theoretical computer science, including computation, algorithms, and complexity. It covers topics such as deterministic finite automata, Turing machines, computability, and cryptography.
The Central Pangean Mountains were a massive mountain range in Pangaea formed by Laurussia and Gondwana collision. They significantly eroded and fragmented into separate mountain ranges like the Scottish Highlands and Appalachians over millions of years.
Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Synit is an experiment in applying pervasive reactivity and object capabilities to the System Layer of an operating system for personal computers, including laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. Its architecture follows the principles of the Syndicated Actor Model. Synit builds upon the Linux kernel, but replaces many pieces of familiar Linux software, including systemd, NetworkManager, ...
TRELLIS.2 is a 4B-parameter 3D generative model for high-fidelity image-to-3D generation with complex topologies and PBR materials. It uses a novel O-Voxel structure and a Sparse 3D VAE for efficient encoding and rendering.
A security researcher discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Mintlify's documentation platform, including RCE and XSS, which could have allowed attackers to exfiltrate data and deface sites. Mintlify patched the vulnerabilities and awarded the researcher $5,000 for their findings.
A junior engineer using an LLM tool to submit untested PRs is rude and wastes others' time. To prove a change works, include manual testing and automated testing with evidence such as terminal commands, screen captures, or test code.
The user discusses different implementations of a one-element ring buffer, comparing two-index and one-index plus length representations, and concludes that a two-index representation with wraparound on unsigned integer overflow is the most efficient and simple solution. This approach requires the capacity to be a power of two and the maximum capacity to be half the range of the index data ...
The author improved a simple Mandelbrot fractal viewer using a coding language model, resulting in a much faster and more complex version with over 13,600 lines of code. The author developed two rules for effective vibe coding with AI, focusing on automated testing and metaprogramming to maintain human control and comprehension.
The First Council of Nicaea in 325 created the core doctrine of orthodox Christianity, affirming Jesus Christ's divinity and equality with the Father. The Nicene Creed, born from this council, is a paradoxical statement that embodies the mysterious and otherworldly nature of the faith.
