Wasm 3.0 is released with 64-bit address space, multiple memories, garbage collection, typed references, tail calls, and native exception handling. Major web browsers and stand-alone engines are shipping or supporting Wasm 3.0.
Anthropic is facing hostility from the Trump administration due to its refusal to allow its AI models for US law enforcement surveillance. The company's limitations have created tensions with the White House, which expects loyalty from patriotic AI companies.
The user's Apple Photos app corrupts images when importing from their OM System OM-1 camera, especially when deleting photos after import. They've switched to using Darktable to cull photos and import them into Photos app without the issue, assuming the problem lies with the Photos app.
A malicious GitHub Actions workflow stole a npm token from a collaborator's repository, then published tainted versions of 20 packages to npm. The issue was quickly remedied by GitHub/security teams unpublishing the malicious versions, followed by fresh verified versions being re-published to restore trust.
These two tweets, beginning with "I'm [really] excited to announce/share", were posted 5 minutes apart: TL;DR Both Google Deepmind and OpenAI are claiming their models achieved gold-medal level performance at ICPC WF 2025.
Depressive symptom scores in young adults are associated with difficulty in overriding prepotent responses to actively avoid aversive outcomes in the absence of reward. Active avoidance impairments are linked to higher depressive symptom scores in undergraduates.
Archaeologists discovered 40 tombs in northern Iraq along the Mosul Dam reservoir after severe droughts lowered water levels, revealing sites more than 2,300 years old. The tombs are being excavated before the dam is flooded again and will likely shed more light on the causes of death and broader social context of these burials.

At Event Horizon Labs, you'll design and build scalable autonomous systems for AI trading, requiring distributed systems, containerization, and cloud expertise. EHL seeks top engineers to shape AI infrastructure, pushing boundaries at the intersection of AI and system design.
Researchers discovered a 22.73% improvement in GPT-5-mini's success rate on the telecom benchmark by rewriting prompts into clear, simple instructions. This approach also unlocked previously unsolvable tasks, highlighting the potential for prompt optimization to boost smaller language models' performance.
China's Pingtouge AI chip surpasses NVIDIA's A800 in key parameters like memory, bandwidth, and interface. The chip leads in most domestic AI metrics, with a 96GB HBM2e memory, reaching 700GB/s in inter-chip bandwidth.
Users submit custom prompts and define good/bad outputs for specific tasks. Our platform optimizes model performance using Deepseek R1 algorithms and user feedback.
You want enclosed 3D printer with durable materials, open-source firmware, and repairability, ideally offline capable.
The author uses an air bike for exercise, but struggles with motivation to do it, often relying on a show to distract themselves and trick themselves into completing the workout.
uuidv47 library stores UUIDv7 in databases with an XOR-masked, v4-looking facade. The façade uses SipHash-2-4 to non-leakably tie the key to the UUID's random bits.
Researchers proved S(5) equals 47,176,870 using Coq, an uncomputable value formally verified in over 40 years. This determination was achieved by checking 181,385,789 Turing machines with 5 states using massively collaborative research.
Ton Roosendaal will step down as Blender chairman and CEO on January 1 2026, handing over to Francesco Siddi. Roosendaal announced current successors at the Blender Conference, including new board members.
Many YouTubers reported major drops in view counts, possibly explained by YouTube not counting views from users with enabled ad blockers who account for 50% of computer views. YouTube hinted ad blockers impact view counts' accuracy.
The author continues adding detail to a terrain map, incorporating noise layers, distance-based mountain peaks, and blending to refine the elevation, focusing on realistic terrain detail and coastal noise enhancement. They use a distance field from mountain peaks, and then apply a quadratic blend weight for smooth transitions from hills to mountains.
A couple of weeks ago, some former colleagues competed in Brisbane’s Battle of the Tech Bands - and won! I created visuals for six of their songs, which were mostly 90s/2000s covers. It felt only right to theme the visuals around that era too. Here’s how one of my favourites turned out (fittingly for a tech themed battle, it’s rendered entirely in-browser): What you’re seeing is a Canvas ...
The mssql-python driver enables direct connections to SQL Server using DB API 2.0 with Pythonic enhancements. It supports various authentication methods, connection pooling, and database operations.
You submitted PureVPN security reports for GUI and CLI issues that cause IPv6 leak on Linux after Wi-Fi toggle or resume from suspend. Both issues expose users to potential security risks and undermine PureVPN's privacy claims.
Waymo and Lyft partner to bring fully autonomous ride-hailing to Nashville. They plan to launch next year with Waymo's technology and Lyft's fleet management capabilities.
Terraform's state management is a distributed systems problem that requires fine-grained locking and graph representation to resolve scaling issues. Stategraph addresses this by turning Terraform's state into a graph database.
Ezra Klein praises Charlie Kirk's debating style, but he mistakes performance for genuine discourse. Kirk's debates aim to generate viral content, not persuade others.
The author criticizes current social media platforms for prioritizing advertising and engagement over genuine connection, but sees the underlying concept of social media as valuable. They propose a hypothetical platform that prioritizes relationships by introducing features like a "friend" system, a chronological feed, and caps on connections and posts to promote intentional, pro-social interaction.
SQLiteData is a lightweight Swift library for SQLite that supports CloudKit synchronization, and allows for the creation of observable models. It's designed to be usable from both SwiftUI and UIKit.
