The DeepSeek-R1 project aims to build a reproducible pipeline for reasoning tasks, releasing curated datasets and models to teach language models to reason step-by-step. The project uses a combination of tools, including vLLM, SGLang, and Hugging Face, to train and evaluate models on various benchmarks, with a focus on reproducing the results of the DeepSeek-R1 paper.
Workers spend an average of 6.4 hours a week "botsitting" AI, which includes tasks like feeding context and debugging mistakes. This extra work can lead to frustration and burnout, with 73% of heavy botsitters actively looking for another job.
An allegedly rogue AI agent was discovered in the Fedora project, reassigning bugs, submitting pull requests, and merging questionable code. The agent's actions were not malicious but rather incompetent, and its motive remains a mystery.
Video game consoles have had web browsers since the 1990s, with early examples including the CD-i, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation 2, which offered varying degrees of internet access and functionality. Later consoles like the Nintendo DS, Wii, and PlayStation Portable also included web browsers, with some offering more advanced features and capabilities than others.
The US attacked two reservoirs and a water treatment facility in southern Iran, cutting off water to 20,000 civilians, which is considered a war crime. This deliberate attack was likely a threat to Iran to force compliance with US demands, but it may lead to more harm and harden Iran's position.
The user has added a scratchpad and to-do list tool to their agent to enable long-term task planning, allowing the agent to break down complex tasks into smaller steps and keep track of progress. The user has also updated the agent's system prompt to include instructions on how to use these tools and has tested the agent's capabilities with a challenging task, migrating a static site from ...
Cybersecurity researchers and professionals are complaining about Anthropic's AI model Fable's restrictive guardrails, which flag innocuous tasks as cyber related. The restrictions aim to prevent AI misuse, but experts say they are haphazard and need to evolve.
fs stores data in π, utilizing its infinite digits to hold all possible files. It uses the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula to locate and extract files from π.
Anthropic is requiring limited data retention for Mythos-class models for 30 days for trust and safety purposes. This change only applies to organizations with zero data retention settings in Claude Console or other platforms.
This is the second and last part in a duology around Thunderbird’s project to support Microsoft Exchange. About a month ago, I published a blog post that shared some of the project’s behind the scenes (as well some of my personal thoughts), in which I was focusing a lot on the high-level picture and how we defined a direction for the project. However, that article covers discussions that ...
The user investigated latency issues in Linux games using a Teensy microcontroller and various tools, identifying several factors contributing to latency, including KWin's pessimistic compositing predictions and a safety margin that can be reduced. By making changes to KWin, including a more precise timer and a dynamic compositing duration measurement, the user was able to reduce latency to ...
Author Eric Ries discusses his new book "Incorruptible" which explores why good companies fail due to "financial gravity" and how some companies resist this trend. He aims to provide insights on how to prevent this from happening.
“Space computing, the final frontier, has arrived,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared at the Nvidia GTC conference in March. Indeed, the idea of data centers in orbit has gone from science fiction to a serious spending category. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has acquired xAI (also Musk’s) and is planning a constellation of space-based data centers. Google, not to be outdone, announced Project Suncatcher ...
AI replacing jobs is a misleading narrative, as data shows that AI adoption has not led to mass layoffs in software engineering. Instead, AI has compressed the "execute" layer of the "decide-execute-deliver" sandwich, leaving the "decide" and "deliver" layers resistant to automation.
Joel Kita pilots a submersible Ceratius on a tour of the Juan de Fuca Rift, encountering a monster that attacks the Grid Authority's construction site. Meanwhile, Lenie Clarke and her colleague Ballard live in a submersible Beebe, struggling with the psychological effects of their underwater existence.
The user reverse engineered the Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X soundbar's proprietary app and USB protocol to create a Linux CLI application called v2x-ctl, allowing users to control the soundbar's settings. The user discovered the soundbar's firmware update protocol and extracted the firmware file, which is stored in a container format called CIFF, and analyzed its structure and checksum.
Speculative decoding takes a position on what tokens will come next. modern models almost invariably have shallower slope / distant knee, the same ceiling. gammastar is to attention is all you need what asml’s euv machines are to spirographs. the crossover is the knee at be/k43bapprox ek/e — roughly 30s
Sequoyah, a Cherokee silversmith, invented a syllabary that allowed his people to write and read their language for the first time. His invention led to a significant increase in Cherokee literacy and is still used today to safeguard Tsalagi culture.
PgDog is a Postgres proxy that makes it horizontally scalable, allowing for 100 TB+ tables and 1M queries per second. It's open source, with over 1.4M Docker pulls, and a growing community for support.
The Curiosity rover has been operating on Mars for 13 years, achieving incredible longevity due to continuous maintenance and software updates from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Despite hardware challenges like wheel wear and power degradation, the rover remains capable of doing science, with a future mission planned through 2035.
MacOS 26 Tahoe's menu item icons were widely criticized for being distracting and inconsistent. They have been removed in MacOS 27 Golden Gate, aligning with Apple's updated Human Interface Guidelines.
NASA's space station had a recurring problem with siloxane contamination in its water supply, which was caused by antiperspirants and other personal hygiene products. The agency struggled to find a solution, but ultimately learned to manage the issue by filtering siloxane vapor from cabin air and replacing filters regularly.
Nextcloud and Ionos released the first stable version of Euro-Office, an open-source web office suite. It aims to enable joint document creation and editing, independent of proprietary offerings.
A Graphic Designer explores the history of vacuum-formed signs, also known as pan-faced signs, which originated in the 1950s. These signs, made by companies like Signtronix, became ubiquitous in American Main Streets and small businesses.
