Gemini 3.1 was distilled into a 26m Simple Attention Network, Needle, for consumer devices. Needle outperforms other models in single-shot function calls but may be finicky and less effective in conversational settings.
I’ve never graduated before. I mean, from college. So all the cap and gown stuff is new to me. Fun fact #1: you rent your cap and gown in the US. You have to return them. And they’re expensive, too! I paid $94 just for the privilege of renting mine, which is insane because they probably cost way less than that to manufacture. What if, say, you say you’re fine without a cap and gown? Well, ...
Senior developers worry about complexity, while others want to reduce uncertainty. They should communicate solutions in terms of uncertainty reduction, not complexity management.
DuckDB instances can now communicate with each other using the Quack protocol, enabling client-server setups and concurrent writers. Quack is built on HTTP and optimized for low overhead and fast bulk data transfer.
The user implemented an atmospheric scattering shader post-processing effect to render a realistic sky and atmosphere in real-time, using raymarching, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, and ozone absorption to achieve a natural color for any altitude. The user also explored a more performant approach using Look Up Tables (LUTs) to store precomputed scattering calculations, resulting in a ...
Read more The freedom of journalists isn’t only the freedom to write, it’s also the freedom to have your work read and remembered for generations to come. 2026 is the first World Press Freedom Day in 30 years that journalists’ work at major media outlets including New York Times, The Atlantic, and USA Today is not being preserved by the independent, nonprofit Internet Archive. We are calling ...
Obsidian Community is launched with a new directory and developer dashboard for plugins and themes. Automated reviews ensure safety and security of the Obsidian ecosystem.
Google is developing an AI-enabled pointer called Gemini to simplify interactions with computers by understanding context and intent. The pointer will work across all apps, allowing users to point and speak to get information without needing to write complex prompts.
NixOS users developed lanzaboote, a UEFI application, to enable Secure Boot without embedding kernel and initrd into the UKI. The project aims to integrate Secure Boot into NixOS, but still requires user-generated keys and enrollment in firmware.
To learn software design skills as a researcher physicist, it's essential to understand that software design is best learned by doing and adapting to the social context of the project, rather than following formal rules or guidelines. Key recommendations include practicing, paying attention to boundaries, testing, and Conway's Law, and considering resources such as the Boundaries talk by Gary ...
Bambu Lab is threatening an open source developer with legal action for using their code in a fork of OrcaSlicer. They claim the developer is impersonating their client and creating a security risk, but the developer says they're just using upstream code verbatim.
A vulnerability in Exim's TLS connection handling was discovered and reported, allowing for remote code execution with almost no special server configuration. The vulnerability was exploited using a large language model (LLM) in a contest, with the LLM producing a working solution for the first stage of the exploit.
Statewright is a tool that enforces workflow constraints on AI agents to prevent overfitting and improve performance. It uses state machines to limit tool access and provide clear instructions to the model at each phase.
Voker provides analytics for AI agents, offering insights into performance and outcomes. It helps teams track agent interactions, identify knowledge gaps, and measure improvement over time.
Researchers found that direct corpus interaction outperforms conventional retrieval systems in agentic search tasks by allowing agents to interact with the raw corpus directly. This approach adapts to evolving corpora and achieves strong accuracy without relying on semantic retrievers.
LA Metro unveiled its first new subway stations in 25 years, marking a "game changer" for car-clogged LA. The D line extension allows for a 21-minute ride from Union Station to Beverly Hills, a major milestone in reshaping LA's transportation ecosystem.
Wix revamped its error messages to be clear, concise, and user-friendly. They defined what makes a good error message and worked together to replace thousands of generic and unclear messages.
Hopper uses AI agents to navigate and operate inside z/OS from a modern development environment. It drives ISPF, writes JCL, and queries VSAM with SQL-like functionality.
EFF and ACLU urge the Fourth Circuit to require a warrant for border searches of electronic devices under the Fourth Amendment. They argue that a warrant standard is necessary to protect travelers' privacy interests in their personal data.
Canadian government's Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, erodes digital rights by forcing companies to record and retain metadata and create backdoors for law enforcement. This bill expands surveillance and data sharing with foreign governments, threatening Canadians' privacy and digital security.
Namanyay from Gigacatalyst offers an AI customization layer for SaaS platforms, allowing non-technical users to build custom workflows via natural language. This helps businesses save time and increase revenue by reducing custom requests and engineering roadmaps.
Three major data-platform companies have released Postgres-flavored databases with custom storage layers and scale-out architectures, but they are not true Postgres and each has its own limitations. The choice between Snowflake Postgres, Databricks Lakebase, and Azure HorizonDB depends on your existing data platform and workload, and running actual Postgres on actual instances is still a ...
