macOS/x64 port will be deprecated in JDK 27 to reduce maintenance costs due to Apple's transition to AArch64. Maintenance will stop unless credible developers express a desire to maintain the port.
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.
The author argues that with AI making software development easy, the value now lies in the context and fit of the software, not the software itself, and that service work is the new strong position for independent builders. By building private, overfit software that matches a specific company's design system and workflow, one can create a unique and valuable service that can't be cloned or generalized.
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.
US tech companies, including Nvidia and Microsoft, released a letter urging policymakers to avoid restricting open-weight AI models, citing benefits to competition and innovation. They argue that open models strengthen competition and ensure the benefits of AI technology are broadly shared.
As many people already knows, Nvidia published their kernel driver under MIT license: GitHub - NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules: NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel module source · GitHub (I will call it NVRM). This driver is ver…
Language diversity has been decreasing rapidly over the past one to three millennia, with a peak of tens of thousands of languages 3000 to 1000 years ago. The loss of linguistic diversity is not a new phenomenon, but rather a long-standing process that has been shaped by factors such as multinational empires, pathogens, and cultural exchange.
OpenAI announced its latest model hacked HuggingFace during a test, highlighting AI's cybersecurity capabilities but also sparking concerns about its dangers. The incident raises questions about AI governance, with the US industry adopting a centralized approach while China promotes open development.
The author returns to blogging after a year's hiatus, citing a mea culpa for not writing more despite having ideas and a spreadsheet. They discuss their use of AI in writing and coding, but express concern about the impact on their brain and creativity.
Foldkit is a frontend framework that uses The Elm Architecture, providing a structured and declarative approach to state, effects, and views. It offers a coherent system with built-in routing, state management, UI components, and form validation.
The App Store is experiencing a surge in vibe coded apps, with non-game apps now generating the most revenue. The app review team is struggling to keep up with the volume, causing delays and inconsistent feedback.
To download movies and TV shows using torrenting, you need a torrent client and a torrent file from a tracker website like 1337x.to, where you can search for the desired media and choose a suitable option. Once you have the torrent file, you can add it to your torrent client, which will start downloading the files, and once complete, you can play them in your default media player.
Black Forest Labs developed FLUX 3, a multimodal foundation model that generates audio-visual content and controls robots, and its next-generation model FLUX-mimic is being used in real factory use cases. FLUX-mimic's success is due to its ability to learn a well-structured world model and expose it in decodable representations, making it sample efficient and robust for various tasks and industries.
The writer struggles with staying focused due to constant distractions, which have become a habit over time. They want to regain their ability to focus on one activity for long periods without getting sidetracked.
fenic is a semantic DataFrame library. A PySpark-style API for building AI and LLM pipelines over messy, unstructured data. Its local engine is Polars. This post is about one specific problem we hit while building it, and the part of Polars that solved it: the expression plugin system. We ended up writing nine Rust plugins that extend Polars' expression engine. What follows is both why we ...
An online roster and genealogy of 8945 programming languages from the 18th century to the present, featuring 7,800 influence links and over 11,000 citations.
FLUX 3 is a multimodal foundation model that jointly learns from images, videos, and audio to create a unified representation of the world. It can generate diverse videos and images, predict actions, and edit content, and is being developed for real-world visual intelligence and physical AI applications.
The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre ordered GitHub to remove Bitchat, a Bluetooth-based messaging app, citing risks of misuse by anti-national elements and terrorist organisations. The app's design allows anonymous communication and evades lawful surveillance, posing a risk to India's sovereignty and public order.
The author describes the process of making Xen dom0 NUMA-aware, which involves fixing several bugs and implementing new code to accurately represent the host's topology to dom0. The work includes exposing the host's proximity domain for a given machine frame to dom0, teaching dom0's unpopulated-page allocator to keep per-node pools, and implementing new code to ensure that dom0 backend ...
The quadruped robot combines wheels and legs for high-speed and obstacle-overcoming capabilities, adapting to stairs, gravel, and steep slopes. It features 95 N·m joints, 7-inch wheels, and a 648 Wh battery, but actual performance may vary based on usage conditions.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the de facto routing protocol of the Internet. It offers built-in mechanisms to allow entities, represented by Autonomous Systems (ASes), to express how they want to send and receive traffic on the Internet. One such mechanism is path attributes, which carry essential routing information and metadata for their associated route. The path selection algorithm ...
DuckDB is used for high-performance SQL-based graph queries in analytical workflows. DuckPGQ is a research project integrating with DuckDB, still in progress and seeking feedback.
gsxui is a shadcn-style component set for gsx: copy-in, type-checked, server-rendered. Own the code, style it with Tailwind, ship it.
This book, "WebGPU Unleashed", teaches graphics programming in JavaScript using WebGPU, a new API that brings native graphics capabilities to the web. It covers GPU drivers, 2D and 3D rendering, GPU computing, and advanced techniques like Gaussian splatting rendering.
The writer loves em dashes for their expressive power and versatility in writing. They argue that em dashes are a natural way to convey larger breaks in thought and can be used instead of brackets or colons to add clarity and drama to sentences.
To build the project, run 'build ps2.bat' on Windows or edit the CMake config on Linux. Copy the 'main.pak' and 'properties' folder to the game executable path.
Dired works as a powerful file browser, which treats your precious files and directories as an (almost) usual emacs buffer. it is extremely useful when i want just copy specific images to the (e.g.) friend's usb-drive. the idea of this function is not mine, but i lost the url of blogpost where it was introduced :-( ) - or at this attempt to receive some policy about
My last blog post got some interest on the permacomputing mailing list, especially as it relates to designing a personal or permacomputing build system. I thought I would give a quick overview of the ../lua/civ build system as well as explore those talked about by the participants, as well as ideas that have been brewing in my brain about a civ package manager. For reference, here are the ...
The 3GPP Project Coordination Group adopted a new 5G-Advanced logo for Release 19 deliverables in April 2021. This logo helps distinguish new release capabilities and services, providing clarity in industry conversations about 3GPP systems.
