The user created a pure Go library called objgit that allows for a git server to be hosted in object storage without relying on the local filesystem, using the go-git library and the billy filesystem abstraction. The user encountered several challenges and implemented workarounds to optimize performance, including caching pack files and fixing issues with ListObjectsV2 calls, and is now ...
You're developing a list of advice including a creative mindset, radical transparency, and writing down what makes you happy. You also advocate for "stealing" or building upon others' work, like Virgil Abloh's 3% approach, to learn and create efficiently.
Researchers developed Krea 2, a series of foundation models for creative image generation that can produce diverse and controllable images. The models were trained using a large-scale data infrastructure and a multi-stage pipeline that includes pretraining, midtraining, and supervised finetuning to achieve high-quality and stylistically diverse results.
Gemini 3.5 Flash now natively supports computer use for improved performance in tasks like automation and knowledge work. This feature is available via the Gemini API and Enterprise Agent Platform, with safety measures in place to mitigate risks.
The technology presents all sorts of thorny problems—a philosopher’s favourite kind T ago, as the revolution was gathering pace, arts and humanities students were told that, if they wanted to make themselves employable, they should “learn to code”. That may have been bad advice. These days, it is programmers who are nervous about taking their jobs.
The user successfully ported Wine to their hobby OS Astral, enabling it to run 32-bit Windows games like Cogmind and Deltarune. They also implemented WoW64 support to run 32-bit code on a 64-bit OS, but still face issues with Wine-mono and Steam compatibility.
“I often get carried away with work and end up with strained eyes, and LookAway has been a huge help.” “This is by far the most polished and well-executed app in this category I have ever used.”
GitHub introduced pull request limits to manage the volume of contributions, allowing maintainers to focus on quality work. The limits set a maximum number of open pull requests per user, helping maintainers prioritize and review contributions more efficiently.
Researchers introduced Self-Harness, a paradigm where LLM-based agents improve their own operating harness without human engineers. Self-Harness increases held-out pass rates by 21.4% to 61.9% across three diverse base models.
SSH port forwarding explained in a visual way, including local and remote port forwarding, and dynamic port forwarding using the -L, -R, and -D flags. SSH tunneling allows accessing private services from a local machine, exposing local services to the public, and creating SOCKS proxies for flexible network access.
Monolisa is a typeface built for you, the developers and creatives. it improves code legibility and provides san serif for all design tasks. after using this font for just two days it's grown on me - i really like it. if you need emojis, you can find them in the font's character set. the characters are easy to read, and the style is very clean.
A curator arranged a field trip to the Dinosaurs Of China exhibition at Wollaton Hall in 2017. A stitched photo of the Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis skeleton was created from a sequence of photos taken by Matt.
AI eval startups face significant challenges including talent attrition, difficulty finding customers, and immense optimization pressure from model developers, making it hard for them to succeed outside the safety evals niche. However, safety eval startups may have a better chance of survival as they can provide services to technical clients and policymakers, and are less vulnerable to Goodharting.
Peerd is a Chrome/Firefox extension that runs a full AI agent loop inside the browser, using the browser as its runtime, hypervisor, and security model. It allows users to drive their pages, run sandboxed compute, and build small apps, with a focus on security and user control.
The user rewrote PostHog's SQL parser using Claude AI to achieve a ~70x speed up and equivalent performance to the previous parser for realistic queries. The new parser is a "hand"-written, predominantly predictive recursive-descent parser with a Pratt expression core, written entirely by Claude in Rust in May 2026.
The author of "Top 40" R packages on CRAN noticed a sharp increase in new packages, suspecting ease of packaging and deployment as the cause. Many new packages lack sufficient documentation, raising questions about their contribution to the R community.
Yann LeCun advocates for open-source AI to ensure global sovereignty, cultural diversity, and safety. He believes open-source AI will surpass proprietary systems and is inevitable due to its cost-effectiveness, security, and localization benefits.
The user found vulnerabilities in two Johnson & Johnson web apps, a college campus recruiting system and an internal audit system, exposing sensitive information of nearly 1,000 students and 13.6k employees. Despite reporting the vulnerabilities in October 2025, Johnson & Johnson only resolved one of them, requiring press involvement to address the second vulnerability.
Microsoft claimed a quantum breakthrough in 2025 using Majorana particles, but a scientist's peer-reviewed critique in Nature says they got it wrong. The scientist argues Microsoft's claims are based on flawed data and incorrect programming.
Pure Effect is a zero-dependency effect library for JavaScript and TypeScript that separates business logic from I/O operations. It allows for testable pipelines and replaying of failed production runs without touching the database.
The National Security Agency lost access to a powerful AI model developed by Anthropic due to export controls imposed by the Trump administration. The AI model, known as Mythos 5, was able to break into classified systems in hours, impressing and alarming N.S.A. analysts.
