Herdr is a desktop app for terminals and coding agents, available on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It allows users to keep work running in spaces with tabs and splits, even when the window closes or local machine sleeps.
Simon Armitage's poem about the Mesopotamian hero Gilgamesh is a modern take on an ancient epic, exploring themes of immortality and same-sex love. The poet laureate's translation blends careful scholarship with poetic verve, offering a fresh and impressive interpretation of this classic tale.
Researchers created a multi-agent dynamics experiment using Minecraft and Mindustry games to study swarm behavior. They found that less capable agents can form strong communication networks and adapt strategies, while more capable agents tend to specialize in roles and communicate more effectively.
The project uses 2 neural networks on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W to generate and play games, with one network predicting the next frame and the other playing it. The model is trained using a looped transformer architecture that can run on microcontrollers.
The H.264 video compression codec standard is highly efficient, reducing bandwidth requirements by 1500 times compared to PNG images, through various techniques such as lossy compression and chroma subsampling. It achieves this by discarding less important bits, using motion estimation and prediction to store only necessary frames.

Wasmer is hiring a full-time engineer to build an operating system emulation layer called WASIX, which brings POSIX semantics to WebAssembly. The successful candidate will have 5+ years of systems-level engineering experience and be fluent in Rust, C, and comfortable with large codebases.
Doomformer is a tool that compiles integer neural networks into ZDoom maps and runs them in ViZDoom, using voodoo dolls to perform arithmetic. It compares the results with NumPy references and measures performance. Doomformer can be used for tasks like image recognition, digit classification, and policy learning.
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been hacked by North Korean hackers resulting in a loss of $6.3 billion worth of digital assets. The company is working to resolve the issue and has frozen about $3 billion of the stolen funds.
The author warns against using Large Language Models (LLMs) to write prose, as it can lead to an "uncanny valley" effect and undermine the skill of writing. Authors should instead fill their own prose and use LLMs only for structure or research assistance.
The PineTime is a programmable watch with Bluetooth, step counter, and heart rate monitor at an affordable price of $26.99 USD. The author has updated the watch's operating system to mainline MicroPython, improving its performance and adding new features such as customizable watch faces.
