dataparty is releasing a small, capable LoRa companion dev kit with 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz capabilities. It combines SX1276 and SX1281 chips for mesh networking and high-speed data transfer.
Native applications are losing to Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) and Electron apps due to complexity and inconsistency. Developers should focus on creating homogeneous interfaces that give consistent experiences, following user interface design theory.
The author visited Southwest Headquarters, touring facilities including the LEAD Center, pilot uniform shop, and Network Operations Center. They saw flight attendants training, pilots practicing safety demonstrations, and experienced a full-motion simulator.
The author replaced their entire desktop with custom-built software, including a text editor, file manager, and IRC client, using Rust and assembly language. This was made possible by the low barrier to entry and the ability to tailor software to their exact needs and workflow.
Mercedes-Benz admits touch-sensitive controls were a mistake, will offer physical buttons in future models. The brand will blend screens with physical controls, listening to customer feedback for direct access to specific functions.
When a browser ships an older Chromium version, its users are exposed to known, already-patched security vulnerabilities. Attackers actively exploit these flaws, since the fixes are public in Chromium's source but not yet shipped to users of the lagging browser. Check your own browser's Chromium version →
Mobile network surveillance campaigns have been identified using multiple techniques to track targets by combining 3G and 4G signalling network protocols with direct device exploitation via SMS. The campaigns leveraged identifiers and infrastructure associated with operators worldwide, demonstrating extensive global reach and exploiting structural weaknesses in the mobile telecommunications ecosystem.
Echo is wrong about security through obscurity being redundant, as it can still provide an additional layer of security by making it harder for attackers to find vulnerabilities. Obscurity can be an effective deterrent, as it increases the time and money attackers must spend to find and exploit vulnerabilities.
A Harvard study found AI systems outperformed human doctors in emergency medicine triage, diagnosing 67% of cases accurately compared to 50-55% for humans. The AI's advantage was particularly pronounced in triage circumstances requiring rapid decisions with minimal information.
Teams should focus on setting up alerts as the core of infrastructure monitoring, not just building dashboards. Alerts should be actionable and teams must enforce a zero-tolerance policy on false alarms to prevent alert fatigue.
Metal Gear Solid 2 source code leaked on 4chan, potentially allowing mods for the 2011 HD remaster. The leak includes code from PlayStation Vita and Xbox 360 ports, but details are conflicting.
The user built a DIY hair electrolysis machine to permanently remove body hair using electricity, focusing on galvanic electrolysis due to its simplicity and safety. The machine uses a charge pump to boost voltage, a 5-bit resistor DAC to control current, and a MOSFET to drive the electrolysis process, with a user-friendly interface and automation features.

The Cordouan lighthouse is a 67.5-metre tall, 16th-century lighthouse in France, designed by Louis de Foix and listed as a historic monument in 1862. It was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 and remains the last inhabited lighthouse in France.
This harness provides skills for CAD, robot description, motion, and manufacturing, with bundled docs and standalone repos. It includes skills for STEP, STL, URDF, and robot motion, with Claude Code compatibility.
Ever wanted to control Ableton with just your voice? Me too! I made this MCP server so I could just ask Codex to do anything in Ableton Live for me, while I was nap-trapped by my baby. Unlike other Ableton MCPs I tried, this one can do pretty much anything that is possible via Ableton's Object model; the agent can just eval arbitrary python that runs inside Ableton. It also has some tools ...
A company called Sonic Fire Tech is developing an AI-driven acoustic fire suppression system that uses infrasound waves to put out fires without water. The system aims to replace traditional sprinklers in homes and commercial buildings, but experts have raised questions about its effectiveness and reliability.
The SHARP model requires sufficient disk space and RAM, so it uses the hosted model by default. Uploading the ONNX file directly may not work due to the separate .onnx.data sidecar.
Kepler built a trust and verification layer for AI in financial services using Claude. Their platform, Kepler Finance, provides instantly verifiable answers to complex financial questions.
Pirates have cracked or bypassed all Denuvo-protected games, with zero remaining uncracked. Denuvo responded by adding a 14-day online check to some titles, posing problems for gamers with spotty internet connections.
Ian Duncan, a Mercury engineer, discusses how Haskell helps maintain a large and complex codebase by encoding operational knowledge into types, making the safe path easy and the wrong thing difficult. He shares lessons learned from Mercury's experience with Haskell, including the importance of containing mutation, encoding incantations in types, and using durable execution frameworks like ...
Researchers at Texas A&M found that compounds in coffee may activate a receptor called NR4A1, which helps protect the body from stress and damage. This could explain coffee's health benefits, including reduced risk of chronic disease and longer life.
1. Articulate your intent clearly using domain-specific language 2. Railroad the model into going where you want in conversation 3. Leverage the model's potential to be a universal translator of concepts and code 4. Read the outputs read the outputs holy shit just read the code the model generated But Taylor! This isn’t as fun as pasting the prompting hacks I found on Youtube for ‘best ...
The author's life was deeply intertwined with Phish music and coding, with the band's long jams matching the shape of complex coding work. Now, as a manager, the author feels disconnected from the flow state and creativity that came with being a programmer.
Porsche Penske Motorsport will show a historic Apple-inspired livery at the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Laguna Seca. The design celebrates 75 years of Porsche Motorsport and 50 years of Apple's founding.
Stanford Medicine research found individual brain patterns differ from group averages in children's brain scans. Analyzing individual brains provides insights into cognitive differences and may help develop better therapies for conditions like ADHD.
Jet engines have become the norm in air transportation, with most of the 19,400 global air fleet being jets, carrying 5 million passengers daily. The development of single-crystal turbine airfoils has greatly improved jet engine efficiency and life.
