Google is introducing a developer verification program to combat malware on Android devices, requiring verified developers to provide identification and pay a $25 fee. Power users can bypass this verification through an advanced flow in developer settings, but it's not immediately accessible and has a 24-hour countdown.
The Turner Twins, Ross and Hugo, conduct A/B tests on modern and 100-year-old gear on expeditions to see how far textile innovation has taken us. Their data suggests that modern gear offers only a narrow safety margin over historic gear, which requires skill to operate.
Kitten TTS v0.8 is out with 15M, 40M, and 80M parameter models for high-quality voice synthesis on CPU. It supports various voices and offers commercial support for teams integrating it into their products.
The noq team has created a general-purpose QUIC implementation with multipath and NAT traversal support, which is a separate codebase from Quinn but aims for collaboration. noq's headline feature is a full implementation of the QUIC Multipath spec, enabling latency improvements and supporting various network conditions.
The user decoded UDP packets from raw voltage waveforms captured by an oscilloscope connected to a high-speed active differential probe soldered to a rack switch. They implemented a parser to extract the packets from the waveform data, which involved decoding QSGMII protocol and rate adaptation to convert the data into conventional Ethernet packets.
Researchers achieved 10x data efficiency with NanoGPT Slowrun by ensembling 1.8B parameter models and applying architectural tweaks. This allows scaling with compute rather than data, potentially leading to significant model performance improvements.
Researchers created EsoLang-Bench to evaluate large language models on esoteric programming languages with limited training data. The results show a significant gap between models' performance on mainstream languages and their genuine programming ability.
To maintain a well-structured codebase, use semantic functions as building blocks that are minimal, self-describing, and unit-testable, and pragmatic functions as wrappers around complex logic. Effective data modeling involves enforcing correctness, using precise names, and avoiding loose typing to prevent bugs and make code easier to understand and maintain.
Ofcom fined 4Chan £520,000 for failing to comply with UK's Online Safety Act. 4Chan's lawyer responded with an AI-generated image, claiming the platform breaks no law in the US.
Voltair Labs is developing weatherized, hybrid-fixed drones for power utility inspections, aiming to replace foot patrols and helicopters with a cost-effective solution. The company's first product is a long-range, fixed-wing drone that recharges inductively on stripped-down charging pads, enabling inspections of entire transmission line corridors with reduced costs and increased efficiency.
Clockwise will remove Smart Hold events and Flexible Meetings, then delete user data on March 27, 2026. Users will get a prorated refund for prepaid subscriptions and can transition to Reclaim for AI-powered scheduling.
We used Claude Code to automate neural network training with 16 GPUs on a Kubernetes cluster, achieving a 2.87% improvement in val_bpb and discovering a strategy to exploit performance differences between H100 and H200 GPUs. The agent ran for 8 hours, submitting ~910 experiments and finding that scaling model width mattered more than any single hyperparameter, with a total cost of under $300.
The author criticizes modern websites for prioritizing ads over user experience, leading to frustrating and intrusive designs. This is driven by an auction system that rewards publishers for keeping users on their pages.
OpenBSD's PF packet filter now supports 64-bit bandwidth values, removing a 4.29 Gbps limit. This change allows correct configuration for high-speed interfaces up to 999G.
OpenTTD developers collaborated with Atari on Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release, allowing new Steam and GOG players to purchase TTD first then access OpenTTD for free. This compromise balances Atari's commercial interests with OpenTTD's availability, ensuring the project's continued independence and development.
Juggalo face makeup can evade facial recognition due to its black bands obscuring key features. However, Apple's Face ID uses depth perception, making Juggalo makeup ineffective against it.
The bitter lesson tells us to scale compute to unlock frontier AI progress. The empirical record confirms this. Focused, independent teams have demonstrated extraordinary output per unit of compute in recent years. Anthropic/Claude in code, Black Forest Labs/Flux in image generation, Luma in video generation, ElevenLabs and Sesame in speech and conversation - are all teams that have produced ...
The investigation will assess Tesla's FSD system in degraded roadway conditions, evaluating its performance and updates to the degradation detection system. The system's ability to detect and alert drivers to impaired camera visibility has raised concerns, with potential under-reporting of crashes due to data limitations.
You've created animations to help people understand inequalities in a geometrical way, using classic shapes like circles, triangles, and squares. Your visualizations show how the Arithmetic Mean (AM), Geometric Mean (GM), Quadratic Mean (QM), and Harmonic Mean (HM) relate to each other, and how they can be represented using geometric shapes.
Waymo's safety impact research uses best practices to align ADS and human crash data, comparing Waymo's crash performance to the current human driving fleet from the areas where Waymo operates. The results show that Waymo has 70-90% fewer crashes than the benchmark, with statistical significance achieved due to the large number of miles driven by Waymo.
Researchers conducted a month-long study on non-display smart glasses to identify patterns of successes and breakdowns in voice-only interactions. The study aimed to inform the design of future voice-only interfaces and highlight unique affordances of non-display smart glasses.
I am currently working as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) at three different Japanese schools, One middle school and two elementary schools. Outside of my regular duties, I like to make games and activities to teach English. My latest project is “Let’s Learn!”, a puzzle game made to teach English to elementary and middle school students. Each puzzle has an English sentence that the player ...

Two geographers in Connecticut discovered that having solar panels near you is the biggest predictor of getting them yourself, with neighbors within one kilometer being most influential. This proximity principle applies beyond solar panels, influencing people's choices on health, technology, and other priorities.
Eric Schmidt predicts UIs will go away, replaced by agents generating UIs on the fly. A prototype uses markdown as a protocol for agentic UI, combining code execution with text and data in a single stream.
Afroman, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, was found not liable for defamation in a lawsuit filed by seven Ohio cops over a satirical music video. Foreman was sued for $3.9 million in damages but was cleared of all charges.
