AI coding assistants use a powerful LLM with a toolbox to execute tasks through a conversation loop. The LLM decides what to do and the code executes it, with the loop continuing until the LLM responds without requesting any tools.
Embassy is a next-generation framework for embedded applications that uses Rust to write safe, correct, and energy-efficient code faster. It provides async facilities, async/await, and hardware abstraction layers to simplify multitasking, networking, and low-power operations in embedded systems.
Sopro is a lightweight text-to-speech model trained on a single GPU with a low budget, achieving 0.25 RTF on CPU. It supports streaming, zero-shot voice cloning, and can be improved with better data and caching conv states.
You created an open source tool to run markdown files like shell scripts using Claude Code, enabling Unix pipe semantics and tool use. This makes markdown files more auditable and composable, replacing Python glue code and traditional shell scripts.
Bose released API documentation for SoundTouch speakers, allowing users to create custom tools and features. The company also announced that AirPlay and Spotify Connect will still work after the speakers' end-of-life date.
Richard D. James interviews Tatsuya Takahashi about their collaboration on the Monologue, microtuning, and geometry. They discuss the importance of intuition and creativity in music, and how standards can be limiting in this context.
Talk recording available on YouTube, along with supporting materials like slides, Jupyter notebook, and code. Author welcomes feedback on the presentation and code.
Jeff Dean is a Google employee known for his exceptional programming skills, with jokes exaggerating his abilities. A collection of "Jeff Dean facts" preserves humorous anecdotes about his coding prowess.
The user, a CEO of a predictive-analytics risk model provider, noticed a decline in AI coding assistants' quality, particularly with newer models like GPT-5, which often generate code that fails to perform as intended but appears to run successfully. The user believes this issue is caused by the models being trained on poor-quality data, including user-accepted code that lacks safety checks, ...

Scientists discovered a new giant virus, ushikuvirus, that infects amoeba and supports the nuclear virus origin hypothesis. This discovery may help understand the evolution of complex eukaryotic life and has potential implications for preventing amoebic infections.
Claude Usage is a lightweight macOS app showing Claude Code usage limits. It reads OAuth credentials from Keychain and queries an undocumented API at api.anthropic.com.
You created an app that loads a perimeter around places worldwide by name and allows users to save favorites in a heat map and list for chat reference. The app also enables users to create geofences for non-existent places using a built-in creator.
The speaker exploited vulnerabilities in the Tegra X2's BootROM and Fastboot implementation to gain access and persistence on Magic Leap One devices. They discovered unpatchable vulnerabilities in the BootROM and Fastboot, allowing for code execution at the highest privilege level.
In geography, a pole of inaccessibility is the farthest (or most difficult to reach) location. in 2017, the turner twins went from coastal chile to the south american pole of inaccessibility, becoming the first adventurers to go from the nearest coastline to it by foot - but it is not the pole utmost from any other continents or landmasses. "point nemo is most remote ocean
A buffer overflow bug was found in UNIX v4's su program, allowing an attacker to consume system resources. The bug was fixed by adding a bounds check to the password input loop using the ed text editor and recompiling the su program.

Amjad Masad, a Palestinian tech founder, has spoken out about Gaza despite backlash in Silicon Valley, but his company Replit's AI boom has made it a multibillion-dollar success.
Flint, a Singapore-based company, has entered production of sustainable, biodegradable paper batteries for consumer electronics. Its proprietary technology is now available to select partners ahead of CES 2026.
As usually, long time not updating the blog (8 months π)β¦ good news is that this week I am on vacation, so I have a little more free time. There are two non-AI related technologies that me and my team created in the year 2025 that I wanted to talk about (in these months, everyone seems to talk about AI, but that is another story): The Micro-executive, which allows the OS to updates PTEs on ...
The author is frustrated with AI being overhyped in tech products, but Dell's CES 2026 pre-briefing was refreshingly AI-free. Dell has shifted focus from AI-first marketing to delivering actual AI capabilities in their devices.
Light creates various effects through its power, position, and distance, affecting how we perceive brightness and color. The human visual system and digital cameras collect light differently, leading to distinct behaviors in matte surfaces and reflective materials.
Researchers used large language models to evolve programs in the competitive game Core War, observing convergent evolution and increasingly general strategies. This study positions Core War as a sandbox for analyzing "Red Queen" dynamics in artificial systems, offering insights into AI agent evolution in real-world adversarial settings.
Most AI models exhibited playful behavior when interacting with a "tap" pattern, with some recognizing and responding to the pattern, while others struggled or became stuck. The OpenAI GPT 5.2 model stood out for its refusal to engage in guessing or play, suggesting a deliberate training choice.
In March 1860, William H. Russell established the Overland Express Route, colloquially called the Pony Express, to carry express mail between St. Joseph, Missouri, and California; an area with no colonialist settlements between. Russell failed repeatedly to get funding from the Senate Post Office for the project, as most considered year-round transportation between the two areas impossible ...
Mike Duxbury, a 57-year-old blind man, is setting up a farm in Aberdeenshire to help youngsters with disabilities get into agriculture. The farm, designed with accessibility in mind, will offer training and placement opportunities for people with visual impairments and other disabilities.
The article explains how to train a neural network to play Tic-Tac-Toe using reinforcement learning in Jax, with a focus on pedagogy and simplicity. The training process involves using temporal difference learning, introducing a target network, and implementing epsilon-greedy sampling to balance exploration and exploitation.
Modern software systems require component-level observability to diagnose issues effectively, and PostgreSQL monitoring should be integrated with application and infrastructure observability. pgX is a tool that unifies database monitoring with application and infrastructure observability, enabling engineers to analyze database behavior in context and optimize system performance.
