Professor Hannah Fry has been awarded the Leelavati Prize for increasing public awareness of mathematics. She is a renowned communicator of mathematics and science, known for her creativity and ability to make complex ideas accessible to a wide audience.
The user describes their method of dithering images using imagemagick to create a printed image effect, which involves splitting the image into four colors, scaling and inverting them, and overlaying them to create a grid-like pattern. This method is computationally expensive and may not reduce file size, but can create a unique and visually appealing effect.
The user wrote a 3D software renderer for the Playdate handheld console, overcoming performance challenges by using a 16-bit reciprocal depth buffer, perspective-correct texture mapping, and dithering for a 1-bit display. The user achieved significant performance gains through compiler flags, custom assembly code, and optimization techniques, ultimately creating a playable 3D game prototype.
Fedora's package creation process involves Git repositories, Koji build system, Bodhi update management, and Pungi compose orchestrator, which work together to produce ISOs, cloud images, and other artifacts. The process includes steps like package building, tagging, and testing, with tools like fedpkg, Koji, Bodhi, and Pungi playing key roles in managing the workflow and ensuring ...
The user and their boyfriend created a 20-gallon aquaponics system in their NYC apartment using a media-based continuous-flow system with a vertical setup, growing leafy greens and herbs. They share their experiences and lessons learned, including the importance of cycling, not overfeeding, and using a stable water and nutrient level for the fish, to help others replicate their setup.
ARC-AGI has evolved to measure AI efficiency in novel environments, with a key focus on cost-per-task and performance. The trend lines show how increased reasoning time affects performance, often displaying asymptotic behavior.

Kyber is building an AI-native document platform for enterprises, transforming regulatory document workflows and aiming for seamless AI template generation. They seek a hands-on Head of Engineering with expertise in AI systems, system design, and accountability to lead their engineering team.
Players don’t learn what you value from your patch notes. They learn it from your systems. Which scoreboard you ship, which numbers you hide, how much friction you keep, what you charge for queuing into a ranked match: every one of those is a statement about who you think the player is. And players read all of it. They’re the most thorough close-readers any medium has ever produced, and ...

Wasmtime 47 enables Wasm GC and exceptions proposals by default, allowing more languages to target WebAssembly. This improves support for high-level languages and exception-using languages, making WebAssembly a better compilation target.
The Extinct Media Museum in Tokyo, Japan is a private museum that collects and exhibits media and equipment that have become obsolete. The museum has a collection of over 4,000 items, including video cameras, photo cameras, typewriters, and personal computers, and allows visitors to freely take and photograph the items.
The UK AISI and CAISI evaluated Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model, finding it performs below frontier cyber-capable models in cyber evaluations. Kimi K3 outperforms GLM-5.2 but fails to achieve arbitrary code execution in exploit development.
The Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY feature has a bad reputation due to its global lock, but it can be optimized for high-performance streams. By buffering notifications in memory and periodically flushing them in a batch transaction, it's possible to achieve 60K writes per second with millisecond-scale latency.
Claude Opus 5 (Adaptive Reasoning, Max Effort) leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 61, followed by Claude Opus 5 (Adaptive Reasoning, Xhigh Effort) and Claude Fable 5 (Adaptive Reasoning, Max Effort, Opus 4.8 Fallback). Mercury 2 is the fastest model at 938.7 tokens per second.
PyPI now rejects new files on releases older than 14 days to prevent poisoning in case of compromised publishing tokens or workflows. This change aims to protect users and reduce cleanup work for PyPI admins, with future APIs to define semantics for closed releases.
Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 rocket successfully launched into a 280-mile-high orbit on its debut flight, marking India's first fully commercial satellite launcher. The launch was a "grand success" for the company, exceeding expectations and paving the way for future launches.
The user discovered a security vulnerability in Hanwha Vision's security cameras, specifically a hardcoded GitHub token in the firmware that granted admin access to hundreds of repositories. The user reported the issue to Hanwha, who promptly revoked the token, and the user notes that this is a common mistake that needs to be addressed to prevent similar incidents in the future.
MouthPad is a custom-fit, hands-free device that translates tongue and head movements into cursor control, clicks, and scrolling for computer use. It's designed for people with mobility challenges and is available for purchase in the United States with a 1-year limited warranty.
MIT researchers revived an old patent by Professor Bill Freeman to create the "Y-zipper," a three-sided fastener that can transform objects between soft and rigid states. The Y-zipper can be used in various applications, including camping gear, medical devices, robots, and art installations, with the potential to aid in space exploration and disaster relief.
Firefox version 153 introduces Containers, allowing separate online activities to be logged into different accounts in the same browser window with isolated cookies and ad tracking. This feature is now a native part of Firefox, making it easier to manage and organize digital space.
Small community book exchange shelves are built in various locations, including a wall and a park, to share free books. These Little Free Libraries are part of community hubs and offer a space for book sharing and exchange.
The simulation is a stress test of global supply chains using UN Comtrade 2025 data, modeling fluid-stochastic network clearing and endogenous pricing. It shows stockpile-depletion events in net-importer emergency buffers and elastic-supply exporter buffers.
