The author attempted to make chicken breast transparent by soaking it in a tartrazine solution, similar to a paper that achieved optical transparency in live animals. The goal is to change the refractive index of water inside the tissue to match its embedded media, making it more transparent and allowing for better imaging.
The author learned about Haskell's Kind system while working on a Redis server clone, discovering its ability to classify and manipulate type-level constructs. They built higher-Kinded types (HKTs) using the Wrap and Compose functions, which take other type constructors as arguments, allowing for more expressive and reusable code.
The US is exporting more gold than usual, with most going to Switzerland and Hong Kong, possibly due to foreign governments' concerns about the dollar's value. This surge in exports may be linked to China's growing gold reserves and its efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

The author discusses how large language models can recall obscure facts from every corner of the world, and how this ability is similar to a memory store that holds key-value pairs. The author then develops an intuitive way to look at linear maps, MLPs, and self-attention as different kinds of memory stores.
Solar and wind power have surpassed nuclear globally, with solar generation leading for the first time in 2025. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report highlights nuclear's slow growth and lengthy construction timelines compared to renewables' rapid expansion.
ESPN's shift towards sports betting and gambling has been met with criticism from former producer Nicole Noren, who left the network after feeling uncomfortable with its normalization of betting. Noren shares her personal experience with compulsive gambling and expresses concern over ESPN's lack of consideration for the potential harm it may cause to fans.
The user's Codex Desktop app is experiencing unbounded local disk growth due to continuous Crashpad dump generation, despite remaining functional. The issue appears to be a background process continuously generating pending dumps without cleanup or rotation.
Raspberry Pi's RP2350 microcontroller was targeted in a hacking challenge, where a custom laser fault injection platform was developed to bypass the Secure Boot feature. The platform uses an infrared high-power laser source and can be built on a budget of less than €10.
Parin is a 2D game engine for D, offering code-driven design and flexible abstraction with optional garbage collection. It's easy to set up and hackable, with examples and documentation available for installation and usage.
esp32sim is an emulator that runs ESP32 SoCs, including the S3 and C6 models, with unmodified application images. It boots real mask ROMs and 2nd-stage bootloaders without patched firmware or stubs.
The author shares their experience of the naturalization process in Japan, detailing the lengthy and bureaucratic requirements. They successfully completed the application after multiple attempts and received their citizenship certificate, but were frustrated with some aspects of the system.
