Z-Library, a shadow library, continues to operate despite US prosecution and extradition attempts of its alleged operators. Users, including students and researchers, view the site as a necessary resource for accessing free knowledge due to financial constraints and limited access to academic materials.

Anti-Aliasing techniques include SSAA, MSAA, MLAA, SMAA, and FXAA, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, but Analytical Anti-Aliasing offers a simpler and more effective solution by fading the shape's border by exactly one pixel. This approach preserves shape even at low resolutions and can be implemented without extra buffers or hardware requirements, making it a promising solution for ...

David Bessis wrote a book called Mathematica, arguing that everyone is secretly doing math and can improve their mathematical thinking through practice and self-reflection. He claims that math is a dialogue between reason and instinct, and that it can be a powerful self-help technique for creativity and problem-solving.

Researchers developed AlphaQubit, an AI-based decoder that accurately identifies quantum computing errors with state-of-the-art accuracy. This breakthrough could enable reliable quantum computers to solve complex problems and lead to scientific breakthroughs.

MIT will cover tuition costs for 80% of US families with income below $200,000. Undergraduates from families with income below $100,000 will pay nothing towards their education.

DarkFlare is a tool that disguises TCP traffic as HTTPS requests to bypass corporate firewalls and network restrictions. It uses Cloudflare's encrypted infrastructure to create a stealthy TCP-over-CDN tunnel for accessing internal resources.

SQL can be used to solve various problems such as graph matching, constraint satisfaction, and model checking due to its ability to express conjunctive queries and homomorphisms. This perspective allows SQL to be seen as a model checker for first-order logic and a solver for graph homomorphism problems, making it a powerful tool for solving complex problems.

Company Vapi is building infrastructure for voice AI in production, preparing for 4 billion people to use voice assistants. They're hiring a Senior Engineer to design and implement their frontend Dashboard platform.

www.aps.org needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

Alexi and Jonas from Autotab, a Chrome-based browser for complex task automation, are seeking feedback on their product. They've developed a dedicated authoring tool for intent specification and control flows to improve reliability and performance.

US road infrastructure is generally good, with over 80% of interstate highways in good or very good condition, but non-interstate roads, especially in urban areas, are often poor quality. Compared to other countries, US interstates are high-quality, but non-interstate roads are lower quality, and more data is needed to accurately compare road quality internationally.

A hub for fashion research with hundreds of essays on specific artworks, garments and films, the Fashion History Timeline equips students and researchers with essential facts, vocabulary, models of analysis, and links to digitized primary & secondary sources.

Antonio optimized the Rope's point translation method, resulting in a 70% speed-up and 250% throughput increase, by using a bitmask to index newline characters. He then added a similar index for tabs to improve performance, which will be used in a future update to the text editor.

Hi, it’s Azeem. Here’s a shocking reality check: every major energy forecaster has been wrong about solar power uptake. So wrong, in fact, that when I recently offered a $1,000 bet on solar’s explosive growth, not a single expert would take me up on it. This isn’t just a forecasting error – it’s a systematic blind spot. To understand this phenomenon, I turned to someone who’s watched it ...

Internet cable cuts in the Baltic Sea caused latency increases in 20-30% of paths, but no visible packet loss. The Internet showed resilience by routing around the damage, but the long-term impact and future capacity issues remain unknown.

Google updated its site reputation abuse policy targeting third-party content on established sites for product reviews and affiliate marketing. This change resulted in significant drops in search rankings for sites like Forbes and Time, with lost traffic estimated at $7.5 million.

The user is starting a new article series about Unix utilities, specifically Pipe Viewer (pv), a tool for monitoring data pipeline progress. Examples of using pv include compressing large files, timing data transfer rates, and copying large amounts of data over the network.

Apple urged a federal judge to dismiss the DOJ's antitrust case, saying the government's complaint is speculative and lacks monopoly power evidence. The judge will decide by January whether the case can proceed to trial or some claims should be thrown out.

The term "artificial intelligence" has been misused to describe various technologies, but its history is complex, with different approaches emerging and falling out of favor over the years, including expert systems, neural networks, and probabilistic methods. The field has undergone significant shifts, from the 1980s AI winter to the current resurgence of interest in machine learning and ...
