A 125-billion-parameter AI model is run on a gaming PC with NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, Windows or Linux operating system, and free open-source software. The model chats, writes code and reads pictures without leaving the PC.
RemoveMacAI is a script that disables Apple Intelligence features in macOS 27, removing models and preventing future downloads. It can be reverted and does not install anything on the system.
Google's Nebraska data centers reported using 13 million gallons of water and 52.65 megawatts of electricity in the last year, with some usage figures redacted from public view. The companies are expected to receive significant tax refunds under state incentives programs, totaling $55-39 million.
A physically based, WebGPU-accelerated simulation of an O'Neill cylinder space habitat.
Every charted navigational light on the planet on a night globe you can turn: each one flashing or sweeping at the rhythm printed on the chart. Zoom to a coast, hover a light for its name.

A puzzle chip was released in August, requiring reverse-engineering to determine its functionality. The challenge involved extracting a gate-level netlist from the GDS layout and simulating it to find the correct solution inputs.
Your first Python programs make pictures on a canvas. Learn calls, values, variables, and a loop before adding one click handler.
The author created a fully functional clock made from trash in Glashütte, Saxony, using a pendulum mechanism and inspired by the concept of GMT and UTC. The clock's time scale is called GTC, which serves as a global reference time based on the observation of the Glashütte Trash Clock.

David Gruber aims to decode sperm whale communication using AI, calling it a logical next step in science. His lifelong fascination with nature drives Project CETI, facing both admiration and skepticism.
Linus Torvalds argued that hash tables are less efficient than tree-based page tables due to scattered entries, while a single memory reference can fill multiple TLB entries. This discussion has led to various patches and solutions addressing the issue of large shared memory segments with many processes mapping the same pages.
Extinction declarations can take decades, with a median of 36 years and a mean of 47.5 years between the last confirmed record and the first formal declaration by an authority. The process involves exhaustive surveys, judgement applied case by case, and is often slow due to rediscovery or lack of evidence.
This is a macOS app that uses AI to search through photos and videos in local folders, without uploading any data. It has various features like scene segmentation, OCR text recognition, and dialogue transcription.
Charlie Munger's quote highlights the issue with academic research where outcomes have drifted away from original goals, prioritizing fame and promotions over scientific integrity. Researchers are less interested in correcting errors and misleading results once published, leading to a lack of curiosity and honesty.
At this point, I have owned the domain jacobg.co for over 2 years. For the longest time, I have been trying to have a custom email address at my domain without paying a fortune for a service that isn’t widely used. Here are some of the things I was looking for: I tried a few different solutions, from Cloudflare’s built-in email routing to completely self-hosted options. In this post, I’ll go ...
Bill Draper, a pioneer in Silicon Valley venture capital, died at 98. He helped start an industry worth hundreds of billions and backed companies like Activision and Skype before the term "venture capital" was widely used.
A terminal's terminfo database is Turing-complete, allowing for a stack machine with parameters and arithmetic operations. This enables the creation of simple programs like an adding machine that can perform calculations using terminal escape sequences.
The "use the platform" mantra is a call to developers to leverage browser capabilities instead of building their own solutions, but some developers prefer custom code for fun and learning.
The author, a photography enthusiast, transitioned from manual film processing to automating the process using software and technology. They developed a system that includes image conversion, dust removal, and tagging for easy searching.
Timur Kristóf improved AMDGPU kernel driver for old graphics cards, enhancing support for Linux gaming and tasks. His work has made these aging graphics cards more viable for 2026 and beyond with better performance and functionality.
The author explores the chaotic world of modern ceiling fan designs, blending lighting and fans in various hybrid forms. These products have become increasingly affordable, but their long-term costs and environmental impact are often overlooked.
The GNU coreutils used to have a difference between -r and -R options, but this was 34 years ago. Today, both options behave similarly due to their merger in 2002.
The author created a system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology to track the movement of six bins, integrating it with Home Assistant for reminders and notifications. The system uses fixed radio anchors and small battery tags to estimate distance, which is then used to determine if a bin has moved far enough from its usual storage area.
FogCam publishes single images, while Fog-Bank archives all for fault tracking. Multiple systems monitor and store each frame to ensure reliability and traceability.
Headstart optimizes cargo build by using early metadata, reducing compilation time and memory usage. It achieves this by allowing crates to compile against dependency interfaces before full metadata is available, resulting in faster builds with minimal errors.
