Belgium will nationalize its nuclear power plants, reversing a 2003 decision to phase out nuclear energy by 2025. The government aims to build new nuclear plants and reduce dependence on fossil imports.
IBM released Granite 4.1, a family of open source language models for enterprise use, trained on 15 trillion tokens. The 8B model, with a dense architecture, matches or beats the 32B Granite 4.0-H-Small across various benchmarks.

We monitor 27 government auction sources with 75,070 listings, scoring auctions for price, bid velocity, and time left. Daily emails highlight top-scored auctions with direct links to original listings.
OpenAI's models started mentioning creatures like goblins and gremlins in their metaphors due to a subtle incentive from training for the personality customization feature, specifically the Nerdy personality. The behavior was amplified through transfer from Nerdy personality training and later spread to other contexts, requiring OpenAI to retire the Nerdy personality and implement new tools ...
Zed is a new editor built from scratch with a custom UI framework, GPUI, to provide a fundamentally better coding experience. Version 1.0 is now available, offering AI-native editing, collaboration features, and a growing list of capabilities.
Zig has a strict anti-LLM policy to prioritize contributor growth over code quality. Maintainers review contributors, not just their code, to foster trust and future contributions.
A Linux kernel vulnerability, Copy Fail, allows local code execution to become root due to a shared page cache issue. A patch is available to revert the 2017 optimization, and disabling AF_ALG can mitigate the issue.
Bézier curves are used in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications, graphic design, and scalable vector graphics (SVG). They are defined by linear interpolations between control points, forming a curve that never extends beyond the points used to construct it.
J. Craig Venter, founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute, died in San Diego after a brief hospitalization for cancer treatment complications. He was a visionary leader in genomics and synthetic biology who drove scientific change and advocated for robust federal funding.
Mozilla added an emoji picker to Firefox 150 using Ctrl + . shortcut, conflicting with 1Password's default shortcut. To resolve, the emoji picker needs to be disabled.
The user discusses the concept of "parse, don't validate" and applies it to a date-parsing problem in C++98, C++11, C++17, and C++23, using type systems to ensure data validity. By using type systems to enforce constraints, the user aims to eliminate the need for validation control flow and improve code readability and maintainability.
This repository contains data preprocessing and finetuning scripts for analyzing memorization in large language models. It uses OpenAI, Vertex AI, and Tinker APIs to generate completions and evaluate model performance.
A typical E. coli cell is incredibly dense with molecules, with its entire volume being 100 million times smaller than a grain of sand. The cell's insides are 70% water, with proteins, RNA, and lipids making up the rest, and DNA accounting for just 1% of its mass.

A bus service called "The Indiaman" ran from London to Calcutta from 1957 to 1979, covering 20,300 miles in 50 days. The service was revived in 2021 but delayed, with a new bus service expected to start from New Delhi to London in April next year.
Using FastCGI as a protocol for proxy-to-backend communication can avoid HTTP's pitfalls, such as desync vulnerabilities, by providing clear message boundaries and domain separation between client and proxy headers. FastCGI is a 30-year-old protocol that is still usable today, but its lack of awareness and outdated tooling may hinder its adoption despite its potential benefits.
Monads are a concept in programming that allows for the creation of computations that can handle side effects, such as input/output or exceptions, in a controlled and structured way. They can be thought of as a way to wrap a value or computation in a context that provides a way to sequence operations and handle effects in a predictable manner.
The chat interface reads documents, cites verbatim, and drafts contracts with full control over models. It offers matter-scoped workspaces, reusable workflows, and open code for custom integrations.
This project aims to create a low-cost, research-validated stethoscope with freely available plans. The goal is to produce the stethoscope for approximately USD$1-2.
The tendency to get overwhelmed by too many options and systematic errors in thinking can be mitigated by simplifying and organizing information. Understanding human perception and behavior can help design more intuitive and user-friendly systems and experiences.
Claude Code routes API requests to extra usage billing when a git commit message contains the case-sensitive string HERMES.md. This causes silent extra usage credits consumption, making it difficult to diagnose.
The author prefers Scheme over Haskell for its simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use, despite Haskell's mathematical beauty and innovations. Scheme's REPL and macro system allow for fast prototyping, debugging, and development, making it the author's "sweet spot" for good developer experience.
Joby Aviation conducted its first electric air taxi flight from JFK to Manhattan's West 30th Street heliport. The company plans further demonstrations over the next 10 days, aiming to integrate electric air taxis into New York City's airspace.
The Emmerthal energy cluster in Germany is growing with three large battery storage systems, ground-mounted solar panels, and a new substation. The cluster aims to store and sell wind power surpluses from northern Germany to southern Germany.
