The author shares their experience learning C after initially being a Rust programmer, highlighting the language's quirks and differences from Rust. They provide examples of how C handles booleans, strings, error handling, arrays, and pointers to illustrate its unique features.
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to further develop a shared platform for building servers, combining compute, storage, and communication capabilities. This move will simplify server software development and make it more accessible to users.
A Telegram link can be used to inject malicious commands, allowing an attacker to steal files from a victim's account by clicking on the link. The attack exploits a vulnerability in Telegram Desktop's handling of URLs and file paths.
Sweep to survive in the action-packed, AAA reboot of the classic puzzle game.
George Hotz explained how US politicians are influenced by corporations, not directly through bribes but through "Super PACs" and lobbying. As a European, the author sees this as corruption, which includes bribery and other forms of abuse of power within the law.
A customer's S'gaw Karen content was showing weird dotted circles in Firefox, but a fix for 43 scripts has been implemented in the CMS. The fix uses Google's Noto fonts as fallbacks and only loads them when needed.
The author argues that AI technology, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), is not inevitable due to its limitations and the ability of humans to neutralize its effects. LLMs are only useful for weak players in a socioeconomic game, allowing them to partially keep their heads above water relative to skilled practitioners.
A research intern built a diffusion model for market data, finding that fully continuous models don't work due to the discrete nature of market events. The model uses flow matching and atom smoothing to better capture the blend of continuous and discrete features in market data.
The author compared WSL 2.6.3.0 and WSL 3.0.2.0, finding a +61% memory bandwidth surge and -11% scheduler & IPC latency in the new version, with some improvements also seen in basic syscall transition and kernel overhead reduction of ~16%.
News carrier-explode 2.0 has an improved backend, and users can contribute to decoders. The API provides JSON data or daily CC0 datasets for comparing carriers' features across different versions and networks.
Eurydice is a Rust compiler project that converts Rust code to clean C code, useful for high-assurance software and environments with a C compiler but no working Rust compiler. It preserves the structure of the code while removing constructs that exist in Rust but not in C.

Computer programs cannot make decisions, so blaming them for outcomes is unfair. Companies like OAI/Anthropic are making a deliberate choice to enable problematic behavior with their models.
A software engineer used AI to search millions of historical records, uncovering a forgotten meteorite report, three lost rhinos, and unrecorded volcano eruptions. The discoveries were made possible by an open-sourced research pipeline that utilized various AI models to filter results and automate manual steps.
We raised a significant series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, which will be used to enhance Jev's features and infrastructure for building smart software. This investment aims to take the platform to the next level and provide better tools for creating effective AI solutions.
Thomas Hales discusses the importance of formal proof in mathematics, highlighting Lean as a powerful tool for automating this process. He notes that recent autoformalization projects have made significant progress in formalizing various mathematical theorems and theories.
American companies use "ingredient splitting" to list less prominent ingredients first, misleading consumers. This technique is allowed by the FDA and is used in various popular American foods.
This package mounts a Proton Drive, listing files and folders from metadata without downloading content. It uses a "lazy" approach to save bandwidth and disk space, with remote changes invalidating cached listings.
CUBE Type is a tiny playground for isometric typography. Type a few words, pick a composition and a palette, and your text comes out as stacked blocks.
Researchers studied cat-human communication, finding that cats respond positively to slow blinking and may use it as a form of emotional communication. Cats deliver more eye narrowing movements when their owners slow blink at them than when the owner is present in the room but not delivering this stimulus.
Researchers found that minimally and highly processed meals with the same nutritional profile produced distinct metabolic responses, including higher insulin release and energy expenditure in ultraprocessed meals. The study suggests that food processing affects how the body and brain respond to food beyond just carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
