AI coding assistants use a powerful LLM with a toolbox to execute tasks through a conversation loop. The LLM decides what to do and the code executes it, with the loop continuing until the LLM responds without requesting any tools.
Embassy is a next-generation framework for embedded applications that uses Rust to write safe, correct, and energy-efficient code faster. It provides async facilities, async/await, and hardware abstraction layers to simplify multitasking, networking, and low-power operations in embedded systems.
Sopro is a lightweight text-to-speech model trained on a single GPU with a low budget, achieving 0.25 RTF on CPU. It supports streaming, zero-shot voice cloning, and can be improved with better data and caching conv states.
Bose released API documentation for SoundTouch speakers, allowing users to create custom tools and features. The company also announced that AirPlay and Spotify Connect will still work after the speakers' end-of-life date.
Richard D. James interviews Tatsuya Takahashi about their collaboration on the Monologue, microtuning, and geometry. They discuss the importance of intuition and creativity in music, and how standards can be limiting in this context.
Talk recording available on YouTube, along with supporting materials like slides, Jupyter notebook, and code. Author welcomes feedback on the presentation and code.

The user, a CEO of a predictive-analytics risk model provider, noticed a decline in AI coding assistants' quality, particularly with newer models like GPT-5, which often generate code that fails to perform as intended but appears to run successfully. The user believes this issue is caused by the models being trained on poor-quality data, including user-accepted code that lacks safety checks, ...
In geography, a pole of inaccessibility is the farthest (or most difficult to reach) location. in 2017, the turner twins went from coastal chile to the south american pole of inaccessibility, becoming the first adventurers to go from the nearest coastline to it by foot - but it is not the pole utmost from any other continents or landmasses. "point nemo is most remote ocean
Claude Usage is a lightweight macOS app showing Claude Code usage limits. It reads OAuth credentials from Keychain and queries an undocumented API at api.anthropic.com.
A buffer overflow bug was found in UNIX v4's su program, allowing an attacker to consume system resources. The bug was fixed by adding a bounds check to the password input loop using the ed text editor and recompiling the su program.
Scientists discovered a new giant virus, ushikuvirus, that infects amoeba and supports the nuclear virus origin hypothesis. This discovery may help understand the evolution of complex eukaryotic life and has potential implications for preventing amoebic infections.
You created an app that loads a perimeter around places worldwide by name and allows users to save favorites in a heat map and list for chat reference. The app also enables users to create geofences for non-existent places using a built-in creator.

The speaker exploited vulnerabilities in the Tegra X2's BootROM and Fastboot implementation to gain access and persistence on Magic Leap One devices. They discovered unpatchable vulnerabilities in the BootROM and Fastboot, allowing for code execution at the highest privilege level.
Light creates various effects through its power, position, and distance, affecting how we perceive brightness and color. The human visual system and digital cameras collect light differently, leading to distinct behaviors in matte surfaces and reflective materials.
Researchers used large language models to evolve programs in the competitive game Core War, observing convergent evolution and increasingly general strategies. This study positions Core War as a sandbox for analyzing "Red Queen" dynamics in artificial systems, offering insights into AI agent evolution in real-world adversarial settings.
It's been a while since I've written about CPython internals and its optimizations. My last article on garbage collection was written 8 years ago. A lot of small optimizations were added since then. In this article, I will highlight a new optimization for reference counting that uses a static lifetime analysis. In short, every Python object (the actual value behind a variable) has a ...
The article explains how to train a neural network to play Tic-Tac-Toe using reinforcement learning in Jax, with a focus on pedagogy and simplicity. The training process involves using temporal difference learning, introducing a target network, and implementing epsilon-greedy sampling to balance exploration and exploitation.
Modern software systems require component-level observability to diagnose issues effectively, and PostgreSQL monitoring should be integrated with application and infrastructure observability. pgX is a tool that unifies database monitoring with application and infrastructure observability, enabling engineers to analyze database behavior in context and optimize system performance.
The author is frustrated with AI being overhyped in tech products, but Dell's CES 2026 pre-briefing was refreshingly AI-free. Dell has shifted focus from AI-first marketing to delivering actual AI capabilities in their devices.
Most AI models exhibited playful behavior when interacting with a "tap" pattern, with some recognizing and responding to the pattern, while others struggled or became stuck. The OpenAI GPT 5.2 model stood out for its refusal to engage in guessing or play, suggesting a deliberate training choice.
Amjad Masad, a Palestinian tech founder, has spoken out about Gaza despite backlash in Silicon Valley, but his company Replit's AI boom has made it a multibillion-dollar success.
Mike Duxbury, a 57-year-old blind man, is setting up a farm in Aberdeenshire to help youngsters with disabilities get into agriculture. The farm, designed with accessibility in mind, will offer training and placement opportunities for people with visual impairments and other disabilities.
The Linux kernel maintainers are blocking a patch that would allow user-space code to request a total store ordering (TSO) memory model on Arm CPUs, citing concerns about potential abuse and fragmentation of user-space code. The maintainers' objections are seen as overly restrictive and driven by a desire to enforce a weak memory model on Arm, rather than allowing users to take advantage of a ...
IBM's AI coding agent 'Bob' has a vulnerability that allows malware execution without human approval through command validation bypasses. Users are advised to avoid 'always allow' configurations and use whitelists to prevent potential harm.
Flint, the Singapore-based company that developed sustainable, cellulose-based, biodegradable, PFAS-free batteries, announced that its technology has entered production and will be available to select strategic partners. Paper batteries are a promising lower-carbon alternative that will benefit most consumer electronics applications. Following the transition from lab-scale development to ...
The user discusses their experience with Forester, a tool for thought, and how it can be used to accumulate and organize knowledge, but notes that maintaining a "forest" of interconnected notes can be challenging and may lead to intellectual stagnation. The user proposes a new approach to using Forester, emphasizing the importance of embracing time and change, and suggests that a more ...
