z386 is a 386-class CPU built around original Intel microcode, recreating enough of the original machine for the recovered 386 control ROM to drive it. It runs real protected-mode DOS software, including DOS 6 and 7, and games like Doom, with a focus on educational reconstruction and usability.
The author built a tool called Hengefinder to find henge moments, where the sun aligns with a street, by calculating road bearings and sun azimuths. The tool uses a combination of astronomical data and binary search to find these rare geometric alignments.
The user and others extracted microcode from a high-resolution image of the 80386 CPU die, disassembled it, and found 215 entry points with new instructions and shared code. The microcode has a hidden security bug in IO permission bitmap handling and may have undocumented features or opcodes, but the exact nature of these is unclear.

Italy has acquired six Airbus A330 MRTT tanker aircraft worth 1.39 billion euros, shifting its air defence focus to Europe within NATO. This decision strengthens Europe's military capabilities and reduces Italy's dependence on US solutions.
To improve deep learning model performance, first identify the bottleneck in your model, which can be compute, memory bandwidth, or overhead. Then, optimize accordingly, such as increasing compute intensity, reducing memory bandwidth costs, or minimizing overhead.
The curriculum is a comprehensive AI learning system with 20 phases and 435 lessons in four languages, covering linear algebra to autonomous swarms. It teaches raw math first, then code, with a focus on understanding AI concepts under the hood.
JWT is an overcomplicated authentication method that creates more problems than it solves, especially for web apps. A simple session cookie or opaque bearer token is a more secure and efficient alternative.
The author, a security and privacy reporter, investigated Oura's data handling practices after a deal with the Department of Defense and Palantir sparked customer concerns. Oura's security design choices allow governments to access user data, and the company has a responsibility to ensure user data is secure despite its large valuation.
The user discusses two distributed hashing algorithms, ExHashRing and Rendezvous Hashing (HRW), comparing their performance, complexity, and suitability for different use cases. HRW is simpler and more general than ExHashRing but has a linear time complexity, which can be improved to logarithmic with a skeleton implementation.
SPEC’s CPU benchmark suite has been a long established industry standard, and is almost impossible to miss when reading through various publications. Intel used SPEC CPU2000 to showcase Pentium 4’s improvements over Pentium III. Samsung used SPEC CPU2000 and SPEC CPU2006 traces to tune their Mongoose cores. SPEC CPU2017 formed part of Intel’s performance projections for Lion Cove. Now, SPEC ...
Japanese companies are highly diversified due to their unique corporate structure, which prioritizes employee loyalty and long-term survival over shareholder profits. This structure, known as the "J-firm" bundle, allows Japanese companies to adapt and change quickly in response to changing market conditions.

US lawmakers proposed a ban on automated license plate readers, but the FBI plans to buy nationwide access to the cameras for law enforcement. A crackdown on deepfake sexual abuse images is underway, with the FTC warning companies to remove nonconsensual intimate images and the Department of Justice arresting two men for sharing AI-created explicit content.
The article discusses two Vim plugins, Slimv and Vlime, which provide Lisp development environments for Vim, and compares their features and installation procedures. The plugins use a client-server architecture and rely on the Swank server to evaluate Lisp expressions, and both support interactive programming and debugging.
Rubish is a Ruby-based shell that supports bash syntax and integrates Ruby features. It allows seamless mixing of shell commands and Ruby code.
The author investigated the origin of the word "zork" in the game Zork, initially believing it was a jargon term for unfinished programs.
C# is improving memory safety with a redesigned unsafe keyword that marks obligations for developers to discharge. The new model is opt-in and will be released in .NET 11 as a preview and in .NET 12 as a production release.
Jennifer Combs was arrested for a Facebook post about Trinidad's water supply, claiming residents were hospitalized due to bacteria. She filed a federal lawsuit alleging the arrest was an act of political retaliation for speaking out about the city's water problem.
The author reflects on their experience with PHP, a language they initially didn't expect to use, but has grown to appreciate despite its quirks. PHP's array data structure is flexible but complex, and its type system has unintuitive features like uninitialized properties.
Mary Tsingou's 1955 experiment on MANIAC revealed a paradox in nonlinear systems, showing they can behave in stable and structured ways despite initial expectations. This discovery reshaped how scientists think about systems and led to the development of new technologies, including the internet.
Microsoft is removing most of its Claude Code licenses and pushing developers to use Copilot CLI instead due to financial and product convergence reasons. The company will invest more in Copilot CLI and encourage developers to file bug reports and feedback.
BambuStudio is violating the PrusaSlicer AGPL license by using a closed-source networking binary. This is likely due to China's five-law framework, which forces companies to cooperate with intelligence work and maintain secrecy, making it difficult for them to comply with open-source licenses.
If (mu) is 0, the quadratic lower bound from the sandwich degenerates into the tangent hyperplane. a well-conditioned problem has abundant and trustworthy local information, says daniel saunders. the idea is beautifully simple: instead of reasoning about f in its full n-dimensional glory, we restrict our attention to the straight line connecting x and y
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has reached 750 cases and 177 deaths, with the World Health Organization classifying the risk level as "very high" at the national level.
