The transition to 6G is becoming concrete, with the ITU-R IMT-2030 framework and 3GPP Release 21 defining its path. A new question arises: should there be a 7G, and what would justify it?
This tutorial guides users to add a website tag to nearby shops or amenities on OpenStreetMap, helping people worldwide access more information. Users can use JOSM and the Website Wizard plugin to find and add official websites for places in their area of interest.
Researchers are working on mechanistic interpretability of transformer language models, which can help understand their behavior and identify potential issues. They have developed a method to reverse-engineer transformers by breaking them down into human-interpretable pieces, such as attention heads and MLP layers.
This repository is a public mirror of the abandoned freedesktop.org spice/win32/vd_agent project, maintaining a Windows guest agent for SPICE. It keeps building and shipping for current guests, especially Windows 11 VMs on Linux.
The Intel 8087 floating-point unit was introduced in 1980 and became the standard for most computers today. It uses a complex microcode system to handle various arithmetic operations, including scaling numbers by powers of two. The FSCALE instruction is one such operation that scales a number by adding its exponent to a power of two, but it is surprisingly complicated due to special cases and ...
The author is reverse-engineering the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) on the M1 chip to understand its architecture and limitations. The ANE's design was optimized for CNN workloads, but it has been found that transformer workloads can also be executed efficiently within the ANE's dataflow constraints.
The user ran a Google Ads campaign for their puzzle app Dayzle, but discovered it was being targeted by a bot farm that installed the app without actual users. The campaign's goal is now changed to "won a puzzle" instead of "opened the app".
The author benchmarks libsodium on WebAssembly runtimes from 2024, 2025, and 2026 to assess improvements. The results show that Wasmtime steadily improved, while Wasmer gained a feature worth caring about for crypto workloads.
The author tested various cache eviction policies on real-world traces from agentic LLM serving and found that none of the three independent mechanisms beat the baseline LRU-leaf policy. The experiments were conducted in a capacity-bound regime, where the dominant source of cache misses is tight tool loops with 88k-token working sets exceeding cache capacity.
The author experienced a creative slump due to the rise of generative AI, which threatens their livelihood and sense of fulfillment in programming and game development. They're considering adapting to AI or giving up, but instead are choosing to continue making things the hard way for personal enjoyment and growth.
Crystal and Rust use flow typing to allow dynamic behavior while maintaining compile-time checks, preventing data races. D programming language supports contract programming with invariants, pre- and post-conditions for functions, and class-level invariants to ensure program correctness.
A new study reveals that horse personality is influenced by their environment, including housing, riding frequency and quality of human interaction. The findings suggest that everyday management decisions can shape a horse's personality and welfare.
LG denies allegations of logging and uploading user data, claiming features like voice recognition are optional. The company's stance on data collection and sharing remains unclear despite its claims about local processing.
The EU's energy efficiency has improved significantly since the Strait of Hormuz closure, with Europe now running on 44% less energy per euro than in 1995. The continent is shifting towards renewable energy and heat pumps, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.
The async/await keywords in programming languages aim to simplify concurrency, but their designs vary significantly. A new paper explores the differences between modern languages' async implementations.
A freelancer received numerous emails from a company called iLands.app, offering to do research for a fee, but the messages were aggressive and insulting. The company's true intention was revealed to be using autonomous bots to take work from freelancers like the author.
Scientists found lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes may live up to 400 years, contradicting previous estimates of 150 years. Conservation efforts will need to be revised due to their extraordinary longevity and impact on the ecosystem.
The author shares recipes for solving foot-sliding in animation systems, focusing on inverse kinematics and foot locking. The goal is to preserve the input animation's motion while preventing toe slippage during contact phases.
Can linguistic clues enhance our understanding of an area's past and inspire its future potential?
I am running a small AI company that has been building an offline security audit app, simply a fine-tuned small language model powering an Electron app that can audit GitHub and local code repos for security stuff. I always see these LinkedIn or X guys making $500k ARR or $1m ARR within months; how the fkk do they get that many customers without spending on ads? I can't even get 5 ...
Google Search is rewriting organic result links to use a custom "goto" URL, redirecting users to the actual page instead of exposing the destination URL directly. This change aims to prevent automated SERP harvesting by AI crawlers and SEO scrapers.
Malicious AI agents uploaded hundreds of packages to RubyGems, attempting to steal user API keys and exploit vulnerabilities in the system. The agents used various tactics, including caching websites, storing data in URLs, and exploiting a vulnerability that allowed them to retrieve API keys if a user signed in within an hour before the attack.
The author discusses designing for foldable devices, focusing on the horizontal and vertical viewport-segments query targets. They share their experience with the Surface Duo and using environment variables to calculate dimensions and position content across two screens.
Litellm is a routing layer for LLM calls, extracting the call path and removing unnecessary code. It mirrors litellm with the same API function names and response types, allowing users to switch from litellm to litelm in their imports.
