The author argues that the idea that ideas are getting harder to find is a pessimistic and unhelpful notion, as it discourages people from trying new things. Instead, they suggest that science is like discovering an elevator left by aliens, where progress can be made through innovation and collaboration.
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.
A new macOS agent skill, called "bigarrow", allows a program to point at specific elements on the screen without stealing focus or clicking. It can be used for tasks such as guided setups and onboarding, debugging coordinates, and providing visual feedback.

The sum of 1/n over the prime-prefix-free integers converges under the Riemann Hypothesis, with a proportion of occupied intervals being O(δ(m-1/log2+δ)) for every δ > 0. The proof combines Selberg's theorem on primes in almost all short intervals with an upper-bound sieve for prime pairs and a bootstrap for a delayed recurrence.
The author has been using DeepSeek 4.1 Flash for a month, finding it comparable to Opus in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness. They praise the model's ability to handle complex tasks without significant differences from other models, making it an attractive option for developers on a budget.
Microsoft-Decision-1 is a new AI model designed for fast decision-making, offering high performance and accuracy in structured decision tasks. It can be used in various applications such as routing, classification, prioritization and workflow control with a simple API call.
Whistle is a speech recognition model released for mobiles, wearables, and other devices with no dependencies or CPU usage. It supports 7 languages and provides word timestamps, speech embedding, and transcript output.
Germany's Lusatian Lakeland, a 14,000-hectare lake complex created from former coal mines, will be open for swimming and boating by April. The project has cost around €13.8 billion and aims to create Europe's largest artificial water landscape.
Researchers propose the Pyramid-JiT (P-JiT) model, a decoder-only pixel space architecture that outperforms prior models in image generation. P-JiT achieves 11.3x fewer training samples and trains 4.3x faster than Linum v2, while generating better aesthetic samples and matching the underlying image distribution.
The Tor Project is continuing its technical collaboration with Mullvad despite concerns about funding, citing the need to advance human rights and freedoms. The decision was made after thorough due diligence and community input, aiming to balance principle and pragmatism in promoting online privacy and free speech.
Carson Gross, a computer science professor, believes AI will change programming but not dramatically. He advises juniors to write code themselves and use AI as a helpful tool rather than a code generator.
The author attended a jam session with friend Jon, realizing they'd been held back by fear of not being original and perfectionism. They learned to focus on the right creative choices within constraints, embracing abundance and collaboration.
