Lift4D is a test-time optimization framework for 3D reconstruction from monocular video, combining visual cues with data-driven priors. It improves over prior methods by providing coherent initialization and occlusion-aware optimization for challenging in-the-wild sequences.
The user is uneasy about the future of software development where loops and AI assistants dominate, potentially removing human responsibility and understanding. They question how to retain good engineering rules and human supervision in a future where loops and machines increasingly drive code development.
April 1 marks the first day of the new year. the u.s. president's eu summit is set for june 1 - thursday, july 1 at london bridge, where he'll be speaking about the world cup and the euro 2012 qualifying games, including the gold medal match between britain and greece, which takes place in switzerland, will be
Claude Tag is a new feature that allows teams to tag @Claude in Slack for tasks, and it builds context by remembering relevant information. It's available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, with plans to expand availability.
The rise of large pickup trucks and SUVs in the US has led to a 75% increase in pedestrian deaths since 2009, with taller hoods and larger blind zones being major contributing factors. Our analysis estimates that about 200-400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century.
libffi is a function call interpreter that reuses knowledge to speed up function calls. It now has a "plan" feature that precomputes and stores function argument placement, reducing overhead by 6x.
Researchers at Binghamton University developed a 99% successful method to solve Wordle using information theory. Their approach prioritizes guessing words that provide the most information to reduce the pool of possible words.
Mistral OCR 4 is a document-understanding model that extracts text, bounding boxes, block types, and confidence scores from 170 languages. It's available through a single API endpoint and can be used for enterprise search, RAG, and agentic workflows.
Plotnine is a Python data visualization package based on the grammar of graphics, similar to ggplot2 in R. It's used to create customized visualizations like Anscombe's Quartet with features like coloring, trend lines, and faceting.
I was fired by Google two months ago for creating a viral Google Workspace CLI that disrupted their plans. Google announced an official Workspace CLI two days before my termination, revealing their fear of disruption.
Claude's Status Page - Elevated error rate across multiple models.
Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who criticized its facial recognition technology, including Evan Greer, Adam Schwartz, and Albert Fox Cahn. The document, found in a data breach, included background information, contact details, and quotes from the activists.
The bun-sqlgen library generates typed SQL queries at compile-time, catching errors before runtime. It uses migrations as the source of truth for the schema and writes generated types to a file for static type checking.
Modal allows teams to own their inference without compromising on cost-performance or developer velocity. It provides a production-ready service with transparent code and metrics for debugging inference issues.
FROMSOFT uses a low-tech AI system in their Soulsborne games, based on a stack of states called Goals, which can be updated and modified to create complex behavior. The system uses a mix of Lua scripting and C++ code, with a focus on flexibility and ease of use for designers and animators, making it well-suited for creating diverse and punishing NPC encounters.
The author created a benchmark suite to test various AI models' ability to find security bugs, specifically those found by Mythos, and found that some models, like Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.6, performed well.
The user conducted an experiment to determine Bebop's favorite treat using the Bradley-Terry model, which assigns a strength score to each treat based on pairwise comparisons. The results show that Pur Luv Chicken (Treat E) is Bebop's current champion, but Treat A is a close second and requires more trials to confirm the result.
Coding agents can serve all code review goals at lower cost and higher throughput, making human review unnecessary. Traditional human code review is a dead end when integrated with AI-assisted coding.
Treedocs is a tool that provides a visual overview of a repository, highlighting issues with red and green colors. It helps maintain documentation with automatic drift checks and version-controlled summaries in treedocs.yaml.
The user discusses the importance of GIF fallbacks for old browsers and explores image compression techniques, including ZopfliPNG and flexiGIF, but finds that flexiGIF can give worse results due to its greedy approach. The user then implements their own GIF compression tool, ZGIF, which uses a hybrid search with pruning to achieve faster results while still beating the current state-of-the-art.
VibeThinker-3B achieves frontier-level performance on verifiable tasks with 94.3% on AIME26 and 96.1% on LeetCode contests. It matches larger models like DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5 in performance, suggesting compact models can be a path to frontier-level performance.
The user discusses online surveillance, age verification, and its implications on kids and privacy, arguing that it's a surveillance industry dream. They also mention various books and events, including their own works, and a call to action to prioritize privacy over age verification.
