The author has created a templating library for Zig, called zt, which is an adaptation of Templ to Zig. It allows for type-safe and fast template rendering with safe defaults and no runtime errors.
Sai Srirampur presented a talk on how storage affects PostgreSQL performance at scale, highlighting the importance of local NVMe for reducing I/O latency.
The author discusses how websites track users through their browser fingerprints, which can be used to identify individuals. This data is often sold or shared with third parties, compromising user privacy.
A modern, MIT-licensed engine reimagines Total Annihilation through clean-room research, offering a browser demo and full game installation. The engine features improved graphics, camera controls, and online play capabilities with existing game files.
This set of notes uses Julia to learn calculus, combining graphical, numerical, algebraic, and verbal components. The goal is to use technology effectively while focusing on concepts rather than computer mechanics.
Verifying your browser… This will only take a moment.
Purism's Librem 5 and PINE64's PinePhone were promising alternatives to Android/iOS, but the Linux phone market stagnated due to hardware limitations and proprietary blobs. However, recent advancements in SoC technology and increased support for Linux have revitalized the market, with options like Rockchip's RK3588S offering improved performance at a lower cost.
The string to float conversion functions in math.h and libc follow different error handling rules depending on the implementation, with POSIX specifying that errno should be set regardless of math_errhandling. To check for errors, users must use either copysign or feclearexcept/fetestexcept methods.
An analysis of the OpenStreetMap data in North Korea: Who are the contributors?
Doory is a free, open-source design editor that allows users to create various visual content without any account or ads. It offers a wide range of features and tools for designing posters, social posts, stories, slides, and more.
Mathematicians are using AI to solve long-standing problems, but the field needs more transparent assessments of AI capabilities and consideration of human expertise. This shift may lead to new "difficulty landscapes" in mathematics research.
The gap in understanding of Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities is widening, with 75% of the population having little to no interaction. The funnel represents a sharp increase in users from casual and infrequent to professional-grade systems, with only 0.00006% accessing frontier-grade systems internally.
mac_linuxgpu embeds the amdgpu driver to run AMD GPUs via Thunderbolt. It uses LemonSeed Engine for inference with HSA and HRX/Loom, fetching Linux sources on first build.
Pensieve is a tool that connects coding agents to search for relevant passages in code, reducing the need for grep and saving tokens. It indexes files, folders, repos, and agent sessions locally on the Mac.
Mathematicians and educators discuss the meaning of rigorous illustrations in mathematical research, questioning traditional measures of success like theorem production. They explore how illustration can reveal new insights and provide a more nuanced understanding of mathematics beyond proof-writing.
The author discusses how seeing comes before words and that images are man-made, created to convey a way of seeing. The reproduction of art has changed the way we experience and understand it, making it more accessible but also losing its unique authority.

The Onion is seeking specific issues to fill gaps in their collection. Users can provide information about the issues they have through a Google Form, and archivists will contact them if interested.
Research firm New Constructs warns that Anthropic's upcoming IPO is the most ridiculous of 2026, valuing it at $150 billion despite significant operating losses. The company's valuation would require double Nvidia's trailing year profit and poses a historic risk to financial markets.
New York City enforces a rule requiring businesses to make cancellation as easy as signing up, with penalties for non-compliance starting at $525. Consumers can file complaints online and receive assistance from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP).
The author implemented a vectorizable ctz (count trailing zeros) polyfill using floating-point trickery and de Bruijn sequences, achieving faster execution times on modern Intel CPUs. The fastest approach is the 64-bit algorithm that uses vpsadbw to compute inverted popcounts of nibbles in parallel, taking 0.63 ns per iteration on Haswell.
Crest is an independent browser for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, made by an Arc user who wanted Spaces, Peek, and the sidebar to have a future.
SURFnet Infinity launches with SNTPings, a global pinging event to create art on a shared canvas. Participants send packets to paint pixels, competing for speed and creativity while testing the network's capacity.
Researchers are developing a method called Multi-Agent Self-Supervision (MASS) to enable AI models to learn from their own team's collective intelligence, allowing them to improve without human guidance. MASS uses the same model as the executor, optimizer, and evaluator in a homogeneous recursive self-improvement loop.
The author has switched to using WebP images after 20+ years of using JPEGs, PNGs, and SVGs. They now find WebPs to be a good format with advantages over other formats like JPEG or PNG.
Google has data centers in various locations worldwide, including Andhra Pradesh, India; Armstrong County, Texas; Berkeley County, South Carolina; and many others. The company is investing in sustainable solutions and workforce training programs across different regions.
This is a C header-only library for decoding ClickHouse Native wire format over TCP, with optional compression and codecs. It can be used in PostgreSQL extensions or standalone applications.
