A 125-billion-parameter AI model is run on a gaming PC with NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, Windows or Linux operating system, and free open-source software. The model chats, writes code and reads pictures without leaving the PC.
A bug was found in the Infidel game, a memory overwrite due to an incorrect default value for a global variable. The bug corrupts memory and can cause unexpected behavior or crashes.
RemoveMacAI is a script that disables Apple Intelligence features in macOS 27, removing models and preventing future downloads. It can be reverted and does not install anything on the system.
A user wants to share a blog post preview with a friend, but it's only accessible on localhost:8080.
Tippett Studios, founded by Phil Tippett, has closed, but its stop motion work is now preserved in a free online archive. An anonymous donor saved and shared thousands of digital files from the studio's archives, including behind-the-scenes material from iconic films.
Google's Nebraska data centers reported using 13 million gallons of water and 52.65 megawatts of electricity in the last year, with some usage figures redacted from public view. The companies are expected to receive significant tax refunds under state incentives programs, totaling $55-39 million.

Every charted navigational light on the planet on a night globe you can turn: each one flashing or sweeping at the rhythm printed on the chart. Zoom to a coast, hover a light for its name.
Xray-core's security design has been criticized for its handling of certificate verification, with the maintainers initially removing a secure option and later introducing a vulnerable one. The company failed to disclose this vulnerability to users, leaving them exposed for nearly half a year.
The author created a fully functional clock made from trash in Glashütte, Saxony, using a pendulum mechanism and inspired by the concept of GMT and UTC. The clock's time scale is called GTC, which serves as a global reference time based on the observation of the Glashütte Trash Clock.
Charlie Munger's quote highlights the issue with academic research where outcomes have drifted away from original goals, prioritizing fame and promotions over scientific integrity. Researchers are less interested in correcting errors and misleading results once published, leading to a lack of curiosity and honesty.
A puzzle chip was released in August, requiring reverse-engineering to determine its functionality. The challenge involved extracting a gate-level netlist from the GDS layout and simulating it to find the correct solution inputs.
An interactive guide to Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio. Take a cluttered bar chart apart and watch its ink get counted, pixel by pixel.
This is a macOS app that uses AI to search through photos and videos in local folders, without uploading any data. It has various features like scene segmentation, OCR text recognition, and dialogue transcription.
Bill Draper, a pioneer in Silicon Valley venture capital, died at 98. He helped start an industry worth hundreds of billions and backed companies like Activision and Skype before the term "venture capital" was widely used.
The "use the platform" mantra is a call to developers to leverage browser capabilities instead of building their own solutions, but some developers prefer custom code for fun and learning.
The author explores the chaotic world of modern ceiling fan designs, blending lighting and fans in various hybrid forms. These products have become increasingly affordable, but their long-term costs and environmental impact are often overlooked.
Your first Python programs make pictures on a canvas. Learn calls, values, variables, and a loop before adding one click handler.

Extinction declarations can take decades, with a median of 36 years and a mean of 47.5 years between the last confirmed record and the first formal declaration by an authority. The process involves exhaustive surveys, judgement applied case by case, and is often slow due to rediscovery or lack of evidence.
The GNU coreutils used to have a difference between -r and -R options, but this was 34 years ago. Today, both options behave similarly due to their merger in 2002.
Linus Torvalds argued that hash tables are less efficient than tree-based page tables due to scattered entries, while a single memory reference can fill multiple TLB entries. This discussion has led to various patches and solutions addressing the issue of large shared memory segments with many processes mapping the same pages.
The author created a system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology to track the movement of six bins, integrating it with Home Assistant for reminders and notifications. The system uses fixed radio anchors and small battery tags to estimate distance, which is then used to determine if a bin has moved far enough from its usual storage area.
Headstart optimizes cargo build by using early metadata, reducing compilation time and memory usage. It achieves this by allowing crates to compile against dependency interfaces before full metadata is available, resulting in faster builds with minimal errors.
