The author of Tempi software believes Daft Punk intentionally chose a tempo of 123.45 BPM for their song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". This is based on precise manual calculations of the song's tempo using a Venn diagram showing human and computer capabilities.
Researchers propose Recursive Language Models (RLMs) to handle long prompts, outperforming base LLMs and common scaffolds in four tasks. RLMs successfully process inputs up to two orders of magnitude beyond model context windows.
User added a custom HTTP header to their blog as a tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett, referencing his novel "Going Postal". The header is a quiet nod to the author, injecting "GNU Terry Pratchett" into network requests.
The author initially dismissed Ctrl-C profiling as ineffective but now acknowledges its value in solving simple problems encountered by lazy people in unfriendly environments. Ctrl-C profiling is often easier and more straightforward than using a profiler.
The Monaco demo is the first step in a larger architecture for regions and fleets, with upcoming features including a background service and improved address search. User input will influence the development of these features and other integrations.
Raspberry Pi released the RP2350 MCU with secure boot, but a public hacking challenge found 5 attacks. The chip's security features were tested and improved through transparency and collaboration.
IPv6 was designed to future-proof the internet by increasing available IP addresses from 4.3 billion to over 340 undecillion. However, its slow adoption is due to lack of major improvements and backward incompatibility with IPv4.
