The authors created a Benchmark Map to measure AI capabilities across the US economy, covering 923 occupations and 18,797 tasks. The map shows that only 90% of American working hours are spent on tasks with little or no coverage from existing benchmarks.
Researchers can now run the latest frontier-class model, Muse Spark Open, with nearly a trillion parameters on Mac Studio using MLX. The framework leverages Apple silicon's unified memory architecture for efficient inference and fine-tuning methods.
Amateur radio operators in Florida played a crucial role in supporting emergency communications during Hurricane Isaias, while eBay has imposed new restrictions on listings of radio transmitting equipment due to FCC rules.
Calif Research publishes defensive work, including remediation and patch generation for open-source projects. They recently discovered a 37-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD that could lead to local root access via a race condition and out-of-bounds write.
The author shares his experience with a high-tech porcelain cooktop, highlighting the evolution of porcelain from ancient China to modern-day innovations. He explains how traditional porcelain was made using kaolin and other materials, but modern advancements have led to stronger, more durable products like Dekton.
LLMs compete in StarSkirmish, a test of long horizon reasoning and agentic coding, with the top model scoring 37-39 wins against competitive human bots. GPT-6 Astra is the top scorer, followed by Gemini 4 Argon and Claude Opus 5.5.
The author prefers software rendering in classic DOS games for its gritty, textured look and nostalgic value. They argue that modern hardware can handle high resolutions with a software renderer, but finding original DOS versions running on real hardware is the ultimate goal.
Two Renoir paintings stolen from a French museum were recovered hidden behind a wall, sustaining slight damage. A 29-year-old man was charged after DNA evidence linked him to the theft and recovery of the artworks.

Piramidal is hiring a backend engineer to build and scale the infrastructure behind their real-time neural monitoring platform. The role involves designing, building, and maintaining services that process high-frequency time series data for medical applications.
Researchers used AI to design quantum circuits for chemistry, optimization, and number theory problems. The AI system improved upon existing designs by reducing the number of qubits and gates needed, potentially making practical quantum computers sooner than expected.

The RFC8950 setup allows IPv4 to be routed over an IPv6 network without tunnels, making it possible for a backbone network to run IPv6 only at its core while still supporting IPv4 on edge devices. This feature is widely supported by many routing platforms and can simplify the deployment of dual-stacked networks.
AVIF generally produces smaller files than JPEG XL, but the gap narrows at maximum effort settings. AVIF is faster to encode and decode, uses less memory, and has better support for progressive rendering. However, JPEG XL can make existing JPEGs 9-20% smaller without further loss and is faster to decode at very high qualities in some browsers.
A malicious payload overwrites the Error object's prepareStackTrace function to generate arbitrary JavaScript functions, then invokes them using the valueOf trick or toString method.
The author created a hardware badge for Hack the North, Canada's biggest hackathon, with the goal of bringing badge culture into mainstream hackathons. The project involved multiple iterations and lessons learned about manufacturing, design, and communication with the manufacturer.

PostgreSQL 19 release has been delayed to November 19 due to the removal of several features, including SQL Property Graph Queries. The delay is attributed to LLM-assisted code review uncovering significant architectural defects and relatively harmless issues in the original code.
Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the Power To The Players Act to protect consumers' ability to own and play video games they purchase, addressing digital-only game sales with revocable licenses.
Token Ring was a networking technology developed by IBM in the 1980s that competed with Ethernet, ultimately losing due to its higher cost and limited scalability. Token Ring's robustness and lack of collisions made it appealing, but its inability to keep up with Ethernet's speed advancements led to its decline.
The author and colleagues calculated the Economic Complexity of the Roman Empire using Latin inscriptions, correcting for biases such as status bias and historiography bias. The result showed a significant correlation between ancient and modern economic complexity values across different geographical divisions.

E someone told me they’d seen ‘something online’ about Andy Burnham, back when he was mayor of Greater Manchester, appearing on Celebrity Mastermind and taking the life and works of Anthony Burgess as his specialist subject. It didn’t end well: Burnham came to grief on the sharp rocks at the foot of the sheer cliff-face of the gargantuan, labyrinthine, impossibly variegated Burgess canon. ...
Konnect is a native KiCAD plugin that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI-assisted PCB design. It offers 228 tools across 21 on-demand toolsets for schematic capture, PCB layout and routing, and more.
The author successfully bypassed the UART lockdown on an Eufy HomeBase 2 device, allowing them to debug key services and search for vulnerabilities. They achieved this by modifying a recovery image that was loaded into the device's flash chip, which contained a backdoored shell with root privileges.
