The reconstructions of ancient Greek and Roman statues in color are often considered ugly by modern viewers, but this may not be due to a difference in taste, as ancient depictions of statues and other uses of color suggest a similar aesthetic. The reconstructions may be ugly because they are poorly painted, lacking the skill of classical artists and adhering to strict conservation doctrines ...
A junior engineer using an LLM tool to submit untested PRs is rude and wastes others' time. To prove a change works, include manual testing and automated testing with evidence such as terminal commands, screen captures, or test code.
The MIL-STD-882E standard categorizes software control levels based on potential danger, ranging from direct control of critical systems to auxiliary use. Levels include immediate danger, delayed danger, human reaction required, and non-critical auxiliary use.
Sid and Ritvik, co-founders of Pulse, created a document extraction system to address limitations in OCR and data ingestion at scale. Pulse separates layout analysis from language modeling to provide structured representations and constrained extraction, making errors visible and auditable.
We enabled GPU VMs on NVIDIA's B200 HGX machines, documenting our findings and creating a blog post to share knowledge on virtualizing these machines. The process involves aligning PCI topology, VFIO configuration, driver versioning, NVSwitch partitioning, and hypervisor behavior for a flexible, high-performance setup.
Paris Buttfield-Addison's Apple Account was locked after attempting to redeem a tampered $500 gift card. The incident raises concerns about the safety of Apple gift cards and the process of account deactivation and restoration.
Jonathan Blow's new game, Order of the Sinking Star, took 9 years to develop and features 1,400 puzzles that can take 400-500 hours to complete. The game combines various puzzle mechanics and has a large, interconnected world with multiple endings.
Dogalog is a Prolog-based livecoding music environment where users write logic rules to create algorithmic patterns. It uses the Euclidean algorithm to distribute hits evenly over steps, creating musically interesting patterns.
It has been a transformative year for the Gemma family of models. In 2025, we have grown from 100 million to over 300 million downloads while demonstrating the transformative potential of open models, from defining state-of-the-art single-accelerator performance with Gemma 3 to advancing cancer research through the C2S Scale initiative. Since launching the Gemma 3 270M model, the number one ...
The author argues that HTMX simplifies web development by allowing HTML attributes to handle interactivity, reducing the need for complex frameworks like React. They suggest trying HTMX for simple projects to experience its benefits.
FreeBSD-SA-25:12.rtsold is a security advisory that fixes a remote code execution vulnerability in rtsold(8) and rtsol(8) programs. The vulnerability allows remote code execution via ND6 Router Advertisements.

UK government's Independent Reviewer warns that developers of end-to-end encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp could be considered hostile actors due to their technology hindering UK security agency monitoring. This warning comes as UK lawmakers increasingly target encryption with legislation like the Online Safety Act.
Jef Raskin's humane computing vision aimed to create machines that were simpler, kinder, and more aligned with human thought. His designs, such as the Canon Cat, embodied humane ideals but also narrowed them, raising questions about the balance between protection and openness.

The user's server was compromised by a cryptocurrency miner due to a Next.js/Puppeteer RCE vulnerability in their Umami analytics container. They were able to contain the issue by deleting the container and hardening their firewall, but learned the importance of monitoring and updating dependencies.
Academia rewards speed over slowness, favoring well-defined problems and legible progress. This narrow definition of intelligence crushes slow thinkers who prefer ambiguous problems and illegible paths.
Ancient Egyptians created a flexible hieroglyphic system that integrated writing with art, allowing for various reading directions and arrangements. The system includes uniliterals, biliterals, and triliterals, with vowels omitted, making pronunciation difficult.
Mozilla is working on AI features in Firefox, but will have an opt-in option and a "kill switch" to completely disable AI.
A performance issue was identified in the Linux kernel's eBPF system, specifically with map-in-map updates, which caused a significant delay in uploading unwind data to eBPF. The issue was resolved by using the synchronize_rcu_expedited function instead of synchronize_rcu, which resulted in a 31x improvement in performance for the precache step.
By subscribing, I agree to Substack's Terms of Use, and acknowledge its Information Collection Notice and Privacy Policy. The magic of AI is generalization – models go beyond what is exactly in their training data and manage to generalize to “similar” cases. Statistical learning theory has traditionally been the lens through which AI researchers have looked to mathematically understand ...
Researchers have developed a microscopic robot that can sense, think, and act using onboard systems for computation, sensing, memory, locomotion, and communication, paving the way for general-purpose microrobots that can be programmed many times in a simple setup. The robot's design leverages semiconductor manufacturing to build the robot's body, actuators, and information systems massively ...
Elliptic curves are sets of points satisfying simple equations, but their study requires abstract mathematics due to complex questions. They are defined by a field, which determines their form and properties.
Iran faces a severe water crisis due to overpumping of aquifers and drought, with its underground water reserves expected to be depleted soon. The country's government is considering relocating its capital from arid Tehran to a wetter coastal region due to water shortages.
The author wanted a unique license plate and researched PlateRadar, but it had a paywall, so they used a Florida DMV website to check availability and automated the process with a script. They successfully reserved the plate HY after initially missing the only remaining two-letter combination EO.
