The Ox64 RISC-V computer can run Linux for $8, but initial setup is challenging due to hardware limitations. The author overcame hurdles such as UART programming and flashing the device using a serial bridge.
A PC game was ported to browser for nostalgic multiplayer, with no microtransactions or paid perks. The source code is available on GitHub and supporters get a Discord role in exchange for hosting costs.
libghostty-vt 1.0 is a stable, high-performance C library for terminal emulation with ABI stability and semantic versioning, supporting various platforms and architectures. It has been widely adopted by major products such as JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and commercial applications like OrbStack.
A Mac's knowledge graph is built by two daemons, analyzing content to create a general-purpose knowledge graph representing the device and user. The graph contains information about contacts, photos, calendar events, family relationships and more.
The author, a lawyer, uses Free software for their law firm's operations and personal life. They utilize various tools like LibreOffice, pandoc, vim, Firefox and Signal for tasks such as document production and communication.
The British Library and other Legal Deposit Libraries can archive UK-published websites for preservation, with restrictions on content types. They collect a snapshot of UK websites annually, using web crawling software to identify and preserve relevant material.
Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory by mid-2027 to focus on the newly launched Cybercab model. The decision comes after weak sales for the futuristic pickup truck, which has only sold in a handful of markets due to its heavy design.
The author created a touchscreen prototype for election results, which became the "Big Board" used by Steve Kornacki on NBC and MSNBC. The project was stressful but rewarding, with the author's code being live on TV minutes after updates were made.
Researchers tested LLMs and decision models, Jev and Luna, on identity resolution tasks. They found that a hybrid model combining Jev with Opus achieved better accuracy at lower costs than either model alone or other hybrids.
The author created ToothPaste, a device that securely transmits keyboard and mouse commands to any USB-compatible device wirelessly using Web-BLE and an ESP32-S3. It uses a Cryptographic IC for secure data transfer.
This OCaml code defines a web framework using Spindle, which is designed to be fast and ergonomic. It includes API endpoints for handling HTTP requests and responses with structured data validation.
The ancient Greek settlement of Akrotiri was destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption on the island of Santorini around 1620-1530 B.C.E. The site, which includes well-preserved buildings and artifacts, provides a unique glimpse into life in the prehistoric Aegean region.
Researchers designed an AI system called Claude to use memory, similar to the human brain's hippocampus and neocortex. The system uses a process called "dreaming" to reflect on its experiences and organize its knowledge into long-term memory.
Realpage has settled a major federal antitrust lawsuit over algorithmic rent-setting, agreeing to stop using competitors' data and limit coordination among landlords. The settlement includes $359.8 million in payouts to affected renters.
The authors successfully exploited a vulnerability in Firecracker, allowing them to take control of a live thread running inside a microVM and execute arbitrary code as root on the host. They achieved this by using access to host memory to locate and modify the saved registers of the vCPU thread, ultimately executing their own payload through Firecracker's write wrapper.
This book is a comprehensive guide to Postgre���, covering data consistency and isolation, lock management, query execution, and more. It assumes the reader has prior knowledge of database systems and provides detailed explanations of complex topics.
San Marino, a microstate in Italy, has maintained its independence for over 700 years despite being surrounded by powerful neighbors. The country's unique diplomatic strategy of portraying itself as weak and Catholic helped it avoid conquest throughout history. San Marino became the second fascist country in the world under the leadership of Giuliano Gozi, but was later purged after World War ...
The author created 8088 Domination, a program that displays full-motion video on an IBM PC using limited resources. The program uses a novel solution to display FMV in graphics mode by changing only a portion of the screen memory and managing disk bandwidth efficiently.
This is a series of articles on developing bare-metal applications for PCs with UEFI firmware using Linux. The articles assume no prior knowledge of UEFI and cover software tools, compilation, bootable disks, and file management.
GitHub has introduced a new Git storage architecture capable of handling thousands of writes per second and reads that scale on demand. The new design minimizes coordination and decouples storage from compute, allowing for independent scaling of reads and writes.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is a new video creation tool with native 15-second video capabilities, multi-turn conversational editing, and enhanced reference following. It offers improved consistency and quality at a lower price of $0.07 per second for 720p videos.
The authors of Pivot, a real-time analytics database, discovered an optimization technique that significantly improves performance on GROUP BY queries with ORDER BY on aggregate results. By using a probabilistic hash-based structure to prune unnecessary partitions during the aggregation phase, they achieved a 1.6x speed boost and reduced disk I/O by over 70%.
Google acquires Crusoe's site in southeast Wyoming for a data center project. The acquisition completes pre-development work on the project, which includes site selection and power strategy.
Researchers have uncovered 820 suspicious restaurant domains impersonating major US chains, including Jersey Mike's and Chipotle, using sophisticated payment-skimming attacks. These clones can capture credit card information and SMS verification codes without needing to hack the legitimate restaurant's website.
