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.
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.
Google invests $10 billion in Anthropic, with potential for $30 billion more, to strengthen AI partnership. The investment will support Anthropic's expansion and computing capacity.

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 web-based RDP client connects to Windows Remote Desktop servers directly from browsers without plugins. It uses a Go proxy server to bridge WebSocket connections to the RDP server's TCP port.
Francis Bacon's empiricism led to a technological capitalism that shaped the US, but his philosophy also fostered a metaphysics that prioritized power over mystery. Bacon's legacy, including his predictions in "The New Atlantis," highlights the tension between science and scientism.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 ...
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.
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.

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.
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 ...
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.
Researchers are developing a theory called learning mechanics to describe deep learning properties and statistics. This theory combines ongoing research to provide a mechanics perspective on the learning process.
A Ph.D student in Physics/Cosmology at Shahid Beheshti University uses Blender's Geometry Nodes to visualize and compute cosmological data, including Cosmic Microwave Background radiation and galaxy lensing. The student shares techniques and examples of using Geometry Nodes for cosmology, including map transformations, aberration and Doppler boost effects, and spherical harmonic functions.
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.
A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, a classical framework for text-based user interfaces, has been created with cross-platform and Unicode support, allowing for smooth and efficient development of terminal applications. The new version includes various features such as improved usability, screen size support, and Unicode input and display capabilities, making it a powerful tool for developers.
Email's early history involved a complex system called X.400, which had features like recall and encryption, but was difficult to use and implement. SMTP, a simpler protocol, eventually became the standard for email, outliving X.400 due to its ease of use and rapid iteration.
Creative people sharing their process can create invested followings and avoid pitching problems. This type of communication is like having a physical business sign, showing "I am here, working."
DeepSeek-V4 is live, offering cost-effective 1M context length with rivaling performance to top closed-source models. It features enhanced agentic capabilities, rich world knowledge, and world-class reasoning.
Firefox 149 includes a new adblock-rust engine, a Rust-based ad and tracker blocking engine, which is disabled by default. To enable it, set privacy.trackingprotection.content.protection.enabled to true and add EasyList and EasyPrivacy filter lists.
