Marfa Public Radio creates a sleep podcast reading boring documents to fundraise for the station. Listeners can donate at marfapublicradio.org/donate to keep the station awake.
Configure a two-node AMD Strix Halo cluster with Intel E810 (RoCE v2) for distributed vLLM inference using Tensor Parallelism. Set up static IPs, MTU, and trust the interface in the firewall, then install the toolbox and run the cluster with Ray and RCCL.
The MWCC GC/2.0 compiles and diffs code, requiring exact byte matches. It's a decompilation challenge for GameCube PowerPC assembly into C, graded by a Metrowerks CodeWarrior GC/2.0 compiler.
Encrypted DNS options like DoH and DoT add latency but often have similar whole-page load times as plain DNS. However, they provide better security and some providers have minor overhead.
A repository consolidates former PoC repos with identical tracked files. It preserves vulnerability research for 12 repos with 96 tracked entries, for good-faith open-disclosure.
OpenRA playtest features new random map generators for Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn, and Dune 2000. The update includes balance overhauls, difficulty adjustments, and UI improvements for map-making.
The website is blocked due to security reasons after a suspicious action was detected. Please email the site owner with the Cloudflare Ray ID and details of the action that triggered the block.
Wireless technology relies on radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) that are difficult to design due to their complex electromagnetic properties. Researchers have developed AI algorithms that can design RFICs more efficiently and effectively than human designers, potentially revolutionizing the field.
To add an extra layer of security to a web browser or Electron-based IM application, use LXC to isolate the application from the host system. This involves creating an unprivileged container with network capabilities and mapping UIDs and GIDs to unused host IDs.
Regular expressions vary across tools, but a subset of features work everywhere, including . ^ $ [...] * \w \W \s \S \1 - \9 \b \B ? + | {n,m} (...) capturing.
The movie Good Will Hunting highlights the difference between expertise and wisdom, with the character Will having knowledge but lacking experience, while Sean has lived through life's challenges. This moment emphasizes the importance of lived experiences in creating meaningful work.
Fintech systems require careful handling of money to prevent errors and ensure trust. Key patterns include idempotency, deduplication, reconciliation, and event sourcing to maintain accurate and reliable financial records.
Digital purchases are often revocable licenses, not actual files, and can be removed by stores without notice. Physical media, such as discs and books, cannot be remotely erased and can be owned, resold, and lent indefinitely.
The user created a "Town Square" feature on their website, allowing visitors to see each other as stick figures and interact. They've open sourced it and made it available for others to integrate into their sites.
Discontinuities in tax policies, subsidies, and other systems can lead to people behaving in ways that are not optimal, such as losing money to reduce taxes or manipulating grades. Smoothing out these discontinuities can help mitigate these issues, and techniques like randomization can be used to achieve this.
The US government denied Polestar authorization to sell cars in the US from 2027, citing its Chinese ownership, despite its sister brand Volvo being granted the same authorization. This move sets a precedent for the government to pick and choose which automakers can operate in the US, sparking concerns about the future of free market and capitalism.
Sakana AI launched Fugu, a frontier AI model, in Tokyo, targeting Japanese businesses and government agencies to reduce export control exposure. The move comes as the US government's ban on Anthropic's models drags on, with local alternatives like Sakana and China's 360 filling the gap.
Adrafinil is a macOS app that keeps a Mac awake when an AI coding agent is active, then sleeps normally when the agent finishes. It's a privileged helper that isolates sleep control in an unprivileged daemon.
Writing Web MIDI code for 8-bit CPUs from the 1980s is a timing nightmare due to buffer overflow caused by modern computers sending data too fast. To safely control data flows, use chunking and pacing to limit blocks and wait for the vintage CPU to write data.
ClickHouse Cloud built WAL-RUS, a Rust-based Postgres backup tool for predictable memory usage. WAL-RUS is compatible with WAL-G and reduces memory consumption by over 70% while maintaining archival throughput.
Mythos, a powerful AI model, has raised concerns about its potential to automate zero-day exploits, but its actual impact may be overstated. Existing cybersecurity measures, such as zero trust principles and AI-assisted vulnerability management, can still be effective in protecting against AI-assisted attacks.
Wildlife photographer Mohammed Almuntasir's 2017 YouTube video of a sand cat in Libya sparked research, revealing the species' presence in the country. A study published in 2026 found sand cats in 13 sites across the Libyan Sahara, suggesting the species is more widespread and in better condition than thought.
Researchers found that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic reverse depression-like behavior in mice and humans by promoting beneficial gut microbes. A specific microbe, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, produces mood-boosting endocannabinoids when exposed to GLP-1 drugs.
Supabase is hiring an engineer to work on its open-source distributed database system, Multigres, requiring expertise in distributed databases and systems. The role offers remote work, ESOP, health insurance, and an education allowance in a globally distributed team.
One of the great economic myths that never seems to die is the idea that giving taxpayer money to a private company will yield a windfall, incentivizing the company to create jobs and generate wealth that otherwise would not exist. And yet time and time again, the benefits fall far short of what was promised, if they materialize at all. A new repor...
Yuri Zaporozhets is a prolific developer who has built a RISC-V-based PC, a mainframe on an FPGA, and rewritten QNX twice. He has released QSOE, a new OS that runs on two kernels: Skimmer and seL4.
The Galapagos Islands, where Charles Darwin visited in 1835, are a unique ecosystem where animals have evolved in isolation, leading to distinct species. Darwin's visit and subsequent theory of evolution were influenced by his observations of the islands' wildlife, but his ideas were also shaped by his experiences and interactions with humans.
