Mistral AI releases the weights of its 1-trillion-parameter model, Le Chonk, advancing agentic coding and cybersecurity. The new model delivers frontier coding performance with significantly fewer tokens.
Cuis is a free Smalltalk-80 environment with goals of simplicity, power, portability, and efficiency. Cuis will present at Smalltalks 2026 in Argentina with eight talks showcasing its community's work and projects.
astroterm is a terminal-based star map that displays real-time positions of stars, planets, and constellations. It can be customized by date, time, location, and offers various installation methods.
Researchers created a multi-agent dynamics experiment using Minecraft and Mindustry games to study swarm behavior. They found that less capable agents can form strong communication networks and adapt strategies, while more capable agents tend to specialize in roles and communicate more effectively.
Herdr is a desktop app for terminals and coding agents, available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It allows users to keep work running in spaces with tabs and splits, even when the window closes or local machine sleeps.
The project uses 2 neural networks on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W to generate and play games, with one network predicting the next frame and the other playing it. The model is trained using a looped transformer architecture that can run on microcontrollers.
The H.264 video compression codec standard is highly efficient, reducing bandwidth requirements by 1500 times compared to PNG images, through various techniques such as lossy compression and chroma subsampling. It achieves this by discarding less important bits, using motion estimation and prediction to store only necessary frames.
The author warns against using Large Language Models (LLMs) to write prose, as it can lead to an "uncanny valley" effect and undermine the skill of writing. Authors should instead fill their own prose and use LLMs only for structure or research assistance.
Doomformer is a tool that compiles integer neural networks into ZDoom maps and runs them in ViZDoom, using voodoo dolls to perform arithmetic. It compares the results with NumPy references and measures performance. Doomformer can be used for tasks like image recognition, digit classification, and policy learning.
This paper examines Hayao Miyazaki's film Porco Rosso (1992) as an anti-war propaganda piece, exploring its themes of pacifism and non-violence. The film is set in the Adriatic Sea during the interwar period and follows the story of a former Italian Air Force pilot who turns into a pig after being traumatized by war.
A Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system, specifically when using Multipath TCP. The vulnerability is due to a use-after-free error in the IPv4 TCP handshake path and can be exploited by sending repeated connection attempts with unusual option combinations.

The PineTime is a programmable watch with Bluetooth, step counter, and heart rate monitor at an affordable price of $26.99 USD. The author has updated the watch's operating system to mainline MicroPython, improving its performance and adding new features such as customizable watch faces.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, written by Mark Twain in 1876, celebrates its 150th anniversary. The novel is a foundational moment for American literature and explores themes of rebellion, morality, and the American spirit.
ParadeDB has improved its COUNT query performance by using segment partitioning and a new bitmap representation of postings, reducing latency by 95% for the single-term count query. ParadeDB is now up to 66 times faster than TIN on search queries with filters and sort orders.
dontallow is a small Swift app that allows Google Chrome to find devices on local networks without user permission. It creates a per-user launchd agent to grant the necessary Accessibility permission and remembers the decision for future launches.
The method calculates a country's area using its IPv4 addresses and the world's total land area. The result excludes Antarctica and small territories without an outline, based on data from October 2026.
A Swift frontend framework that runs in the browser with WebAssembly. SwiftUI-inspired APIs, built-in reactivity, tiny binaries.
The Sylphide OS project aims to create a retrocomputing environment using modern microcontrollers, offering a similar experience to 80's home computers. It is an open-source operating system designed for development boards and single-board computers with limited resources.
Two high-speed trains crashed in Spain, killing at least 69 people. The collision occurred when a Renfe train collided with a stationary Iryo train near Madrid due to a computer failure that allowed the Renfe train to move without speed restrictions.
Neal Stephenson discusses his Substack, where he shares projects and excursions on tech and art. He visits the Harvard University Science Center's Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments with a personal connection to his novel D: Heavy Water.
Anubis is a website protection system that prevents AI scrapers by requiring proof of work, causing downtime for legitimate users. Users can try reloading the page or disable plugins like JShelter to access the site.
Lasm is a tool that compiles Lean 4 programs to WebAssembly, allowing them to run on various platforms including Node.js, Edge, Bun/Deno, browser and more. It supports full-stack development with proofs of correctness for the entire application.
The original loop was incorrect due to issues with signed indices and bounds checking. A correct way to iterate backwards in C is using the postdecrement operator on a size_t variable, which simplifies the code and avoids potential problems.
Sixteen Colors is an online archive for ANSI and ASCII art, preserving the work of early artists who created art for computer consoles. The rise of the Internet led to a decline in BBS's and interest in ANSI/ASCII art, but some artists continue to produce collectives like artpacks.
