User is recreating Hokusai's 36 views of Mount Fuji as 1-bit pixel art on old Macintosh computers for nostalgia and flow state. They use Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 on Quadra 700 or PowerBook 100 to create authentic 512x342 pixel images.
OpenAI introduces Bio Bug Bounty for GPT-5.5, inviting researchers to find a universal jailbreak for bio safety questions. Applications open April 23, 2026, and close June 22, 2026.
A new 10G USB 3.2 adapter from WisdPi offers a compact alternative to bulky Thunderbolt adapters, but its performance depends on the USB port's bandwidth. It reaches full 10 Gbps speed only with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 port, otherwise it's slower.
For much of the history of computing, it was reasonably safe to assume that a machine was doing what you told it to do (and what its creators promised it would do), because its operations were local. You bought a laptop or desktop with an operating system, and it did what it said on the tin: it ran programs and stored files. You bought a spreadsheet and a word processor, and those programs ...
The user is sharing music player information from the 1980s, specifically from games like Wizball and Athena, and is allowing others to use and modify the work. The user acquired the rights to the music and code from Infogrames and credits the original author, Martin Galway.

Microsoft released Windows 2.x, a graphical user shell that ran on top of MS-DOS, with features like overlapping windows and icons on the desktop, but it was still limited by hardware and software constraints. The release was part of a larger effort by Microsoft to develop a GUI that could eventually be replaced by OS/2, but Apple sued Microsoft over copyright infringement, leading to a ...
HEALPix is an algorithm for pixelizing the 2-sphere, devised in 1997 by Krzysztof M. Górski. It's widely used in cosmology for maps of the cosmic microwave background.
The author, a cold water expert, explains that the first minute in cold water is the most dangerous due to the cold shock response and autonomic conflict. This can be mitigated by gradual exposure, habituation, and proper preparation.
Canal+, a French TV channel, used a simple encryption system called Discret 11 to block unauthorized viewing, but it was eventually cracked and pirated due to its simplicity and the leak of its schematics. The system was later replaced with Nagravision encryption in 1992 and retired by 1995, but Canal+ went on to become a major satellite broadcaster in Europe.
ASCII diagramming tools offer limited visual choices for low-key diagramming and entry points to gen AI, combining old and new features. They promote self-constraint, making things easier and harder with AI, and celebrate the power of monospace plain text.
To accurately display FPS, use a rolling window of frames from the last second and precise timers, calculating the average processing time and then the FPS value from that. This approach provides a smooth and consistent FPS counter that is less affected by individual frame processing times and can be easily extended to track other performance metrics.
A questionnaire-based system estimates body measurements with high accuracy, outperforming photo-based methods without requiring a photo. The system uses a physics-aware loss and a small MLP trained on a synthetic dataset to predict 58 Anny body parameters with a mean error of 0.3 cm and 0.3 kg.
Paraloid B-72 is a durable, non-yellowing acrylic resin used as an adhesive for conserving and restoring ceramic and glass objects. It is strong, flexible, and can be mixed with solvents to alter its properties, making it suitable for various applications.
The Q-Day Prize submission demonstrates a classical attack on ECDLP using uniform random noise, not a quantum attack. The submission's results are reproducible without any quantum hardware.
You're attending Babashka Conf on May 8 and Dutch Clojure Days on May 9. You're considering building a tool for semantic diffing in Emacs, after being dissatisfied with difftastic.
Two photographers captured 304 humpback whales in a single day off South Africa's west coast, the highest number ever recorded. The humpback population is recovering after a global whaling moratorium in 1986, with sightings of super-groups increasing rapidly.
The user successfully reverse-engineered the firmware update process for their Rodecaster Duo, finding it to be a simple process involving HID commands and a gzipped tarball. They were able to create a custom firmware and enable SSH access, but are unsure why SSH was enabled by default.
WUPHF is a shared office platform for teams, allowing agents to collaborate and share knowledge. It uses a local wiki and notebook system for knowledge management.
Panic, a game publisher, received bundles of mail from players expressing appreciation for their games. The mail included creative notes, gifts, and even a child's tooth.
Archaeologists discovered a papyrus fragment of Homer's The Iliad in a Roman-era mummy in Egypt's Oxyrhynchus necropolis. The excavation also uncovered mummies, wooden coffins, and ancient artifacts, providing insights into burial traditions in Bahnasa during the Greek and Roman eras.
Stash is a persistent memory layer for AI agents that learns from conversations and experiences, allowing them to remember users and build knowledge over time. It's designed to work with various AI platforms and models, providing a deeper understanding of users and their needs.
The rise of AI in education threatens to confuse language with learning, making it easy to mistake verbal fluency for understanding. To combat this, educators should focus on forming honest minds through genuine encounters with difficulty, intellectual honesty, and responsibility for truth.
The user discusses various ways to speed up PCR, including reducing cycles, making faster polymerases, and using photonic PCR, but concludes that these methods may not be effective due to limitations in ramp rates and switching costs. Some users suggest alternative approaches, such as bespoke PCR machines, dynamic control of reaction components, and enzyme engineering, which could potentially ...
