We're well into the process of converting the Messaging app included in GrapheneOS into a modern app. We'll be making a new release later today with a completely overhauled user interface written in Android Compose. We've made a massive amount of other improvements and bug fixes beyond that too.
A Python interpreter in 1024 bytes of C code is being developed, focusing on a subset of the language with minimal syntax. The interpreter uses recursive descent parsing and executes expressions along the way without error handling or intermediate representation.
The author criticizes excessive use of Large Language Models (LLMs) on LinkedIn, citing poor writing quality and loss of authenticity. They urge users to write their own content, as LLM-generated posts can be easily recognizable and undermine the reader's trust.
Mador is a reactive state management library that binds to existing DOM, using native ES modules and tracking dependencies for efficient updates. It works without components or virtual DOM, modifying the provided DOM directly.
A new method translates text embeddings without paired data, achieving high cosine similarity across different models and architectures. This approach preserves the geometry of unknown embeddings, posing a security risk to vector databases.

NetBSD 9.5 is the final release from the NetBSD 9 stable branch, featuring security and stability fixes since April 2024. Users on this branch are urged to update to a more recent release like NetBSD 11.0 or 10.2 for support.
Heat lamb mixture with beer and water, then serve with steamed bulgur and naan-bread. Toast seeds to make flour, ferment dough for 12 hours, bake into flatbread, then top stew with crushed bread and cilantro.
We successfully parsed the CronosPro database files using Codex and improved upon the Cronodump codebase to fix parsing issues. The process involved recovering an obfuscated schema, fixing parser assumptions, and validating parsed values under correct schema columns.
A security incident occurred on Liquid_BTC, with ~4,000 BTC (~$320 million) withdrawn from the Federation wallet via a SideSwap PAK. The issue is being addressed by the @Blockstream team and other Liquid assets remain unaffected.
Asahi Linux now supports Macs with M3 series SoCs, offering most features like webcam and USB support. However, full DCP support and 3D acceleration are not available yet due to ongoing work.
The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down due to designation as a global terrorist organization, prioritizing user safety over continued operation. The group will provide instructions on backing up content and technical recommendations before discontinuing services.
Researchers and organizations have utilized NetBSD for various projects, including satellite networks, IPv6 implementation, network security, and high-speed data transfer. These efforts demonstrate NetBSD's scalability and performance in different environments.
Vidact compiles a subset of React 19 for build time, excluding class components and third-party packages. It generates server-side markup that can be hydrated by the client, producing a single description of the component.
Researchers at Washington State University developed an electronic skin for prosthetics that can detect pressure and temperature, potentially helping amputees regain feeling. The customizable system is more accurate and reliable than current commercial glove sensors, with the potential to improve tasks performed by amputees.
D2, an open-source IDE and layout algorithm, is now fiscally sponsored by Hack Club after its for-profit company shut down. The project will continue to evolve with AI-driven development, focusing on quality over features.
The author discusses how declining literacy rates, particularly among teenagers and adults, are linked to the rise of television and smartphones. This shift has led to a decline in critical thinking and analytical skills, resulting in a more superficial culture.
The same week that Claude finished formalizing the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem in Lean, a paper landed in my inbox titled, The Spherical Hadwiger Theorem. The Spherical Hadwiger Conjecture1, which has been open since about 1974, describes a niche-but-important piece of integral-geometric machinery. I’m not going to get into the details of the conjecture here; if you are interested you can ...
M-DISC is a type of archival media designed to last up to 1000 years, using a glassy carbon material that resists oxidation and has a high melting point. The technology was developed by Millenniata, Inc., which went bankrupt in 2016 but its assets were later sold to Yours.co.
Isar Aerospace successfully delivered satellites into orbit on its second flight, becoming the first European commercial space company to do so. The mission marked a new era for the global space industry with sovereign access to space from Continental Europe.

X Corp sent cease and desist letters to Nitter project on 24 August 2026. The project will continue following legal advice, with more details to be announced soon.
Researchers at OpenAI are developing an automated AI researcher to accelerate progress in deep learning and alignment, with a goal of achieving full Researcher System Integrity (RSI) by 2028. The system is already showing significant acceleration in research tasks, but careful alignment and safety measures are necessary to ensure beneficial AGI development.
Researchers are concerned about the rapid growth of reasoning language models, which could lead to machines surpassing human intelligence and posing significant risks. They believe that broader interventions are needed to ensure alignment with human values.
The US Census Bureau and other statistical agencies are facing increasing political interference, with the latest events including a brief on noncitizen voting that fell short of standards and an order to end noise infusion methods for privacy protection. This undermines trust in the data-driven decisions made by policymakers and businesses.
IBM Quantum Nighthawk r2 is the company's fastest quantum processor, capable of executing over 100,000 circuits per second. It achieves this through a new dissipative reset gadget that actively cools qubits to their ground state, reducing initialization error and idle time between circuit executions.
