This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin showcased his sprawling Minecraft world, "Tomlinburgh", with 20,000 concurrent viewers. The video featured densely populated buildings and communities designed by Tomlin over a 12-year period.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and others created an AI called Ataraxos that beat the world's top Stratego player in 15 games. The AI used a unique approach to learn strategy by thinking ahead and sampling plausible moves rather than iterating through every possible arrangement.
Muse gadgets are open-source devices built by hackers for fun, with side effects including bricked boards and voided warranties. Users can grab an SDK token and start building their own projects or join the community Discord to share ideas and get support.
DwarfStar 4 is a narrow C inference engine for high-memory Mac, CUDA and ROCm machines supporting DeepSeek V4 and V4.1 Flash models with text and vision models. It provides a CLI, HTTP APIs, native agent and local cache sharing the same model state.
Apple will introduce additional controls to limit Full Disk Access, ensuring users grant apps explicit permission before accessing sensitive data. This change aims to protect user privacy and prevent malicious use of this feature.
An AI agent is guided to build an LDraw LEGO model using a semantic search tool, and the process involves building a Docker image with required tools and libraries. The goal is to enable agents like ChatGPT and Claude to design buildable physical models in LDraw assembly language.
The user wants to generate an image with FLUX 3, a multimodal model for video, audio, images and actions. They provide a scene prompt that describes a glowing concrete dome rising from a twilight bay, with various elements such as surfers, dancers, and animals in the background.
Create websites, dashboards, games, slide decks, and apps with ChatGPT Sites. Describe your idea, refine it through conversation, and share it.
A SaaS business will transform into a "harness" around a model, encompassing infrastructure, interfaces, and state that surround a stateless LLM. This harness can be composed of smaller sub-harnesses and is key to maximizing value for customers while optimizing human attention.
This page predicts the locations of directly-imaged exoplanets and brown dwarf companions. If there are any orbits you would like to see added, contact Jason Wang at [email protected]. Built by Jason Wang, Matas Kulikauskas, and Sarah Blunt. If you use this tool for your research, please cite the ASCL Record of it.
The author attempted to use only one efficient open model for the whole of September, but ended up using 1B tokens and exceeding their budget due to various issues. They learned valuable lessons about model selection, infrastructure availability, and experimentation.
It would shock you to know that Costco, according to a new Harvard School of Public Health methodology, caused 120,687 cases of cancer mortality nationally every year, simply due to living in close proximity to their warehouses. Private colleges accounted for 83,782 more. Harvard itself is responsible for 5,842 cancer deaths. Living near a Major League Baseball field causes almost 19 times as ...
John von Neumann was a renowned mathematician who made significant contributions to various fields, including quantum physics, logic, and computer science. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century.
A prototype satellite for Project Suncatcher has launched into orbit, confirming it's operating as expected. The mission aims to test machine learning infrastructure in space and gather data on its performance under extreme conditions.
The birth of the bond market began in 1171 when Venice's Doge Vitale II Michiel forced citizens to lend money for a war fleet, promising 5% interest payments. This loan became tradable and helped solidify links between citizens and the state.
AstaBrief, an open-weights language model, was developed to generate cited reports for scientific research. It achieved nearly an order-of-magnitude reduction in report generation time compared to proprietary models.
AI painters created artworks in the style of famous artists like Caspar David Friedrich and Edward Hopper without using images as references. They generated paintings by writing code that simulates oil paint, with some even creating their own unique styles and themes.
The author worked through a problem from a theory of computation textbook that asked to prove a property of a language using finite automata, and formalized the proof in Lean. The proof involved building an adder DFA that recognizes the reversal of the language, and then showing that this makes the original language regular by induction on its length.
The author is building a static website using Org-mode, Emacs, and Nix to create a reproducible development environment. The site uses Markdown for conversion but prefers Org-mode's document model for writing and structuring content.
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain that has seen significant development, with 5 months of work from over 200 contributors. The latest release includes various improvements, such as enhanced support for architectures like x86_64-linux and ARM targets.
In early September, NVIDIA released an update to their vk_lod_clusters open-source sample, that - among other things - featured a new impressive Zorah scene as a glTF file. The demo showcased the application of new driver-exposed raytracing features, specifically clustered raytracing, in combination with Nanite-like clustered LOD pipeline - allowing to stream and display a very highly ...
David Waitzman wrote RFC 1149, a joke protocol for sending IP packets by carrier pigeon in 1990. A Norwegian group implemented the protocol using pigeons and printed packets, with one surviving packet now framed and signed by Waitzman.
