GrapheneOS has a strong phone security reputation but its project infrastructure and governance have inconsistencies. The project is largely controlled by one person.
The writer visited several City roof terraces, finding some to be pointless or closed, but The Garden at 120 and The Lookout stood out. The Garden at 120 offers a 360° panorama with long-distance views, while The Lookout provides better views than Horizon 22.
Agentic AI tools have changed software development by allowing non-experts to produce correct outputs without understanding the underlying code. The most valuable professionals now have both technical skills and deep domain knowledge to verify the correctness of generated code.
A new pill called daraxonrasib has been found to double survival time in patients with pancreatic cancer, with fewer side effects compared to chemotherapy. The pill targets a protein called Kras that fuels nearly all pancreatic cancers, offering new hope for patients with this often deadly disease.
S.E.C.R.E.T. is a group of collectors creating a standardized security envelope pattern collection. They celebrate the craft of secrecy and the mystery of security envelope patterns.
A novel remote side-channel attack that leaks sensitive information from within the browser uses ssd contention on macos and linux systems. we measure traces for 10 s each, opening the website 2 s after starting the measurement - removing 31.88 of samples from each trace, or 0.1 % of the data points. by limiting the maximum file size to e.g., 1 gb, the file fits into system memory, preventing
The user upgraded their gaming PC with a secondhand datacenter GPU, a Tesla V100 SXM2 16GB, which they purchased for £150 and paired with an adapter for £50, achieving 32GB of VRAM and competitive local LLM performance. The setup, which cost £200, allows the user to run a 27 billion parameter model at 32 tokens per second, rivaling cloud models from Anthropic.

AV2 is a next-generation video coding specification from AOMedia offering superior compression efficiency and support for AR/VR, split-screen delivery, and wider visual quality range. It provides a comprehensive specification document and reference software for implementation.
The user is extremely frustrated with the overwhelming amount of ads in their daily life, from videos to podcasts to billboards and streaming services. They feel like ads are invasive and annoying, and that companies are prioritizing profits over quality content.
The document discusses lattice-based cryptography and the security of quantum-safe cryptographic schemes. It explains the theory of lattices, defines fundamental computational lattice problems, and describes the LLL and BKZ lattice basis reduction algorithms. The document also discusses the security of the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism and the Dilithium digital signature scheme, which are ...
Companies are using AI agents to have natural conversations with customers at scale, but building effective voice agents is a hard task. telli helps businesses build, deploy, and improve AI voice agents to drive real outcomes.
A person found a rock resembling a seashell in the Alghat desert, Saudi Arabia, and attempted to identify the shell's shape using a dataset of 7894 species and 59244 images. They used Principal Component Analysis to reduce the shape's dimensions from 256 to 2.
This is a terminal app for macOS that paces resonance breathing for vagal tone training. It uses a single file with no dependencies and enforces safety constraints to prevent adverse effects.
I answer a fair share of questions from authors, historians, and filmmakers who are trying to find weather or astronomical observations for a particular time and place so they can accurately describe a moment in time. You can imagine my delight when I read that film director James Cameron will be including a historically accurate night sky in the re-release of the 1997 epic film Titanic, ...
The article presents differential geometry pictorially for physics students, focusing on tools for understanding Maxwell's equations. It aims to represent Maxwell's equations as 3 pictures for intuitive understanding.
Researchers at Ink & Switch are developing PlayBook, a dynamic notebook with visualizable computation, and exploring new tools like Portemine and DrawDeck. They're also working on user input systems and gesture recognition for a natural writing experience.
