ChatGPT for Google Sheets has a vulnerability to data exfiltration and phishing attacks through indirect prompt injection. OpenAI was notified but failed to respond beyond an automated reply, prompting public disclosure of the issue.
Creatine supplementation has been found to raise phosphocreatine levels in neurons and provide an ATP buffer that helps cognitively demanding tasks run at full capacity. Studies have shown that creatine can slow cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's patients by 30%, improve cognitive function in healthy adults under stress, and even emerge as a potential adjunct for depression treatment.
The dav2d project is a fast decoder for the new AV2 codec, developed by VideoLAN community members to provide a small, fast, portable, and correct decoder for real applications. It builds on the success of AV1 and aims to improve compression efficiency, with reported gains of up to 25% compared to AV1.

A United Airlines flight made a mid-Atlantic U-turn after a passenger's Bluetooth speaker named 'BOMB' triggered a security alert. The plane landed back in Newark, where passengers were questioned and their belongings were searched before a replacement flight departed.
The author's workflow has shifted significantly with AI, allowing them to go from idea to prototype 4x faster. This increased velocity has expanded their work's surface area, enabling them to take on new projects and explore ideas previously deemed too time-consuming.
Meta is launching subscription plans for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, offering extra features for power users. The plans, branded as "Meta One," will also include professional plans for creators and businesses, and AI-focused plans for users.
Restartable sequences or rseq for short is the best kept secret at the frontier of system programming. if you want to get rid of both the mutex and atomics, you can use restarted sequence calls instead. google and mozilla are the two companies you should thank most for helping enable me to do what i do. the kernel has a syscall that can be used to reschedule threads

The writer visited several City roof terraces, finding some to be pointless or closed, but The Garden at 120 and The Lookout stood out. The Garden at 120 offers a 360° panorama with long-distance views, while The Lookout provides better views than Horizon 22.
The website specification outlines essential features for decent websites, linking to source standards like WHATWG and WCAG. It's open for contributions and available as an MCP server and Agent Skill.
Odysseus is a self-hosted AI workspace with local tools and integrations. It runs on your hardware with your data, prioritizing privacy and security.
Two horror films, "Backrooms" and "Obsession," dominated US box offices with record-breaking sales, while Disney's "The Mandalorian and Grogu" suffered a significant drop in its second weekend. The success of these low-budget films has upended conventional wisdom about the necessary components for a hit.
I have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump to stay alive. My pump failed during a week-long vacation in Santa Fe, causing me to waste insulin and deal with frustrating issues.
Researchers discovered a new technique called FROST that allows websites to track visitors' browsing history and open apps by measuring SSD interactions. To prevent FROST attacks, users can close unnecessary tabs and monitor OPFS file creation and size.
The author discusses the limitations of using Large Language Models (LLMs) in software development, specifically the need for automated backpressure to prevent bugs and low-quality code. They propose adding various checks and reviews to the development process, including automated tests, types, linters, end-to-end tests, canary releases, and review agents.
ALPRs are AI-powered cameras that track and store vehicle data, including location history, without a warrant or probable cause. This data is often shared with thousands of agencies nationwide, posing a serious risk to privacy and civil liberties.
We introduce FROST, a novel remote side-channel attack that uses SSD contention measurements from within the browser to fingerprint user activity on a system. FROST achieves an F1 score of 88.95% for top-50 closed-world website fingerprinting and 95.83% for application fingerprinting.
S.E.C.R.E.T. is a group of collectors creating a standardized security envelope pattern collection. They celebrate the craft of secrecy and the mystery of security envelope patterns.
A new pill called daraxonrasib has been found to double survival time in patients with pancreatic cancer, with fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy. The pill targets a protein called Kras that fuels nearly all pancreatic cancers, offering new hope for patients with this often deadly disease.
The user upgraded their gaming PC with a secondhand datacenter GPU, a Tesla V100 SXM2 16GB, which they purchased for £150 and paired with an adapter for £50, achieving 32GB of VRAM and competitive local LLM performance. The setup, which cost £200, allows the user to run a 27 billion parameter model at 32 tokens per second, rivaling cloud models from Anthropic.
The document discusses lattice-based cryptography and the security of quantum-safe cryptographic schemes. It explains the theory of lattices, defines fundamental computational lattice problems, and describes the LLL and BKZ lattice basis reduction algorithms. The document also discusses the security of the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism and the Dilithium digital signature scheme, which are ...
