Memory's share of AI chip component spending rose from 52% to 63% from Q1 2024 to Q4 2025. Total AI chip component spending increased from $22 billion in 2024 to $52 billion in 2025.
Reasonix is a terminal-based AI coding agent for DeepSeek, engineered for prefix-cache stability. It's a free, MIT-licensed project with a paid DeepSeek API key.
The Ruby for Good event offers shared lodging, meals, and socializing for programmers to build projects helping nonprofits. Registration is all-inclusive, but refunds are not available after June 7th.
Large Language Model agents struggle with structural constraints in code generation, exhibiting a decline in performance as requirements accumulate. Agents perform better in minimal frameworks but poorly in convention-heavy environments, with data-layer defects being the leading root cause of errors.
I used to live on a quiet hill with a great view of the city, but now I live downtown and work with databases. I spent 50 hours drawing a line graph by hand, learning to control line weight and style, and now I appreciate the process and art of hand-drawn data visualization.
The "Mastering Dyalog APL" book is being updated from Jupyter Notebooks for a more interactive learning experience. The online version is a work in progress with missing chapters and sections, but feedback and corrections can be given on GitHub or by email.
Researchers at LegalQuants created a font-based attack called Noroboto that can deceive AI models in legal documents. The attack works by replacing valid Unicode code points with private use areas, making the text unreadable to humans but still legible to AI models.
The user has a hard time grasping Scheme due to an inconsistent approach and an ALGOL-based mindset. They want to contribute to the GNU Guix and GNU Shepherd ecosystem but need to overcome their familiarity with other programming languages.
Usborne offers free pdfs of award-winning computer books from the 1980s for personal or educational use. The books include program listings for old computers like ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro, but programs won't run on modern computers.

Flick is a startup defining AI native filmmaking, founded by an engineer and an award-winning filmmaker. As a founding front-end engineer, you'll lead the development of Flick's core experience, shaping the future interface for AI visual storytelling.
UK companies are exaggerating their AI capabilities to gain media attention, with some using "AI washing" to rebrand existing technologies. PR executives are frustrated with bosses demanding they pitch AI-related stories despite the companies' lack of genuine AI use.
Microsoft released source code for the 86-DOS 1.00 kernel and PC-DOS 1.00 kernel, along with utilities like CHKDSK. The code was transcribed from paper printouts by the DOS Disassembly Group, a team of historians and preservationists.
The author's childhood computing experience began in the early 1990s at a school with a computer lab, where they learned to program in LOGO and played classic games like Moon Bugs and Space Invaders. The limited access to computers sparked creativity, leading to writing their own game, Andromeda Invaders, and a lifelong passion for computing.
PICO is a learned codec that provides 2.3-3 times bitrate savings and 20-40% savings against other codecs, while encoding and decoding images quickly. It offers cross-platform robustness and outperforms top ML-based codecs in speed and efficiency.
Firefox gives Adafruit users a direct path from idea to connected hardware project — no extra tools or complex setup required. Use Web Serial to communicate with compatible devices from Firefox, right from supported web tools. Firefox is open source and made by Mozilla, the people-first organization behind an independent web.
An especially strong motivating case for the usage of spatial probability models comes from the mining industry. During exploration for mineral resources, prospectors will take geologic samples by drilling holes and examining the resulting material for presence or concentration of valuable ores. These data typically show strong spatial correlation, but constructing a fully-detailed ...
The Teletype Model 33, used in early UNIX systems, lacked curly braces and other characters, leading to the invention of trigraphs and digraphs in C. Before the introduction of trigraphs, UNIX programmers used the Teletype Model 37, which supported curly braces, and the kernel translated between curly braces and parentheses for the Model 33.
The user created a 16-byte x86 real-mode DOS assembly program called "wakeup" that uses the video memory as a calculation space to draw an infinite Sierpinski fractal and bangs the speaker with that geometry. The program's sound is created by XORing against the environment, resulting in a unique and sensitive output that is highly dependent on the hardware and BIOS version.
Scammers are abusing Microsoft's system to send fake emails from [email protected], potentially tricking people into thinking they're genuine. Microsoft is investigating and taking action to strengthen its detection and blocking mechanisms.
The Linux kernel's swap subsystem is being improved for better performance and maintainability, with goals to reduce overhead and optimize operations. A new virtual swap layer is proposed to abstract swapping and address issues like defragmentation and migration.
A cooperative fiber scheduler for Linux enables high concurrency with low overhead using lightweight stackful coroutines. It includes various features and benchmarks, such as io_uring integration and topology-aware work-stealing, and can be configured and built using CMake.
The “dead test” diagnostic cartridge of the commodore 64 uses an 8k ultimax cartridge with rom code at $e000–$ffff. the cartridge implements just 58 characters, without any reverse video characters or reverse image matrices. if we were to address any screen code beyond $39, we’d address the $aa fill area. there are no further character matrixe s implemented and no reverse images of these
Alexander Grothendieck revolutionized 20th-century mathematics with his work in algebraic geometry. He introduced schemes, a new way to study relationships between objects, and reoriented the field in radical new directions.
I’ve seen it three times in the last month. Three different organisations, three different tech stacks, the same pattern. Someone has an idea. Maybe a product manager, maybe a team lead, maybe the CTO after a conference. They open Claude, or ChatGPT, or Copilot — doesn’t matter which — and ask it what they should build. The AI does what it always does: validates the idea enthusiastically, ...
The user converted an old laptop into a writerdeck, a dedicated writing device, by installing Debian in text mode, replacing the network stack with network-manager, and setting up neovim for writing. They also added features like tmux for terminal tiling, acpi for battery details, and light for backlight control, and set up automatic login and syncthing for syncing notes.
FreeBSD Executive Director Deb Goodkin tried running FreeBSD daily on a laptop, citing past struggles with laptop support. With a Framework Laptop, she successfully used FreeBSD as a daily driver after overcoming some challenges.

Bristol Bay and Kodiak Island sit at the heavy end of Alaska’s salmon map. Bristol Bay’s sockeye returns are measured in the millions, with peak weeks that move more fish in a few days than most rivers see in a season. Kodiak runs smaller in total volume but trades volume for variety — Chinook, coho, sockeye, and a powerful even-year pink cycle that completely changes the character of the ...
