Astronomers have discovered a new dwarf planet candidate, 2026 ED138, in the distant solar system. The object is estimated to be between 370-930 miles across and orbits the sun every 281 years.
ZigZag is a visual embroidery editor built in Rust for performance, allowing users to create and edit designs alongside AI agents. The app supports various file formats and can export designs to multiple embroidery machines or send them directly to a Brother Skitch over Bluetooth.
The surge of AI-generated apps is overwhelming Apple's app review process, causing delays and rejections for many developers. The flood of new iOS music apps has led to a backlog in reviews, with some developers waiting weeks or even months for their apps to be approved.
Service degradation on Microsoft 365 (Business or Enterprise). See below for more information.
The author discovered a 22-year-old zero-day vulnerability in PostgreSQL core, which allowed for type-confusion attacks. The exploit was triggered by manipulating composite types and exploiting the way PostgreSQL handles Datum values.
This project, smolmaxxing, unlocks the capability of devices like TVs and old phones by finding the biggest language model each device can run. It achieves this by customizing kernels, memory usage, and weight streaming on devices with limited resources. The results show that a 2B model runs faster than larger models on a Xiaomi TV Box S.
The Quake 4 expansion, The Awakening, is now playable with openQ4 0.14.1, featuring a second campaign and various improvements. This update brings polish to the game's engine and gameplay mechanics.
Relax is a live compiler and JIT runtime for Rust that compiles each function when it's first called, optimizes hot ones while running, and patches edits into the process. It runs in one process with its own pipeline from source bytes to executable memory.
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is a new AI model that offers speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows, surpassing its predecessor in certain areas. It's priced at $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens, making it accessible to a broader audience.
Researchers have found evidence that six Chinese AI models, including those from DeepSeek and Moonshot AI, were trained on export-controlled NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. The findings suggest that these companies gained access to the restricted hardware despite export restrictions.
The author reflects on the safety of working with algae strains in their home lab setting, concluding that chlorella vulgaris is likely safe due to its low risk profile and lack of reported cases. They plan to culture other strains like Scenedesmus quadricauda and Dunaliella salina, which also appear low-risk.
Writing correct programs is hard because it requires understanding and analyzing complex interactions between basic components, which are inherently intractable to fully reason about mathematically. To overcome this limitation, empirical study and ad-hoc techniques can be used to identify useful local properties and simplify assumptions for specific cases, but there is no single solution or ...

AMD's Zen 6 and Zen 6c cores have evolved from the previous generation, with improvements in IPC, vector scheduler size, and branch predictor accuracy. The new designs aim to balance performance and power efficiency.
Marcin Wichary shares his fascination with an old "Speed-Minder" device from the 1950s-60s, a non-digital speedometer used by Illinois State Police. He reflects on its purpose and design, highlighting its historical and aesthetic appeal.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation using AI to accelerate scientific innovation and mitigate its risks, with an upcoming IPO. The company's shares will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ANT" starting November 19th.
A Rust-based distributed ray tracer: describe a scene, and every tile is traced in parallel on Cloudflare Workers, orchestrated by Hatchet.
Researchers analyzed 27 Danish monastic human bones, finding that some had high levels of nitrogen-15, indicating a diet rich in freshwater fish. This led to radiocarbon ages appearing older than expected due to the reservoir effect.
The author has successfully adapted the YK JIT compiler to work with CPython, a popular Python interpreter, achieving performance gains of 2.7x compared to the original CPython and 0.43x compared to the experimental JIT compiler. The adaptation involved adding support for YK's meta-tracing JIT compiler and optimizing interpreter dispatch.
AgentRun is an open-source platform that supercharges agents, adding self-improvement and durable execution. It helps agents learn from their runs and retain useful information for future use.
Jane Street is evolving its coding interview process to incorporate AI tools, focusing on software design and code quality rather than just writing code. The new format will include more high-level discussions and less coding, but traditional coding interviews will still be a part of the process.
Cerulion (YC S24) is the operating system for physical AI: an open-source, zero-copy robot runtime that records runs, replays failures against new code, and reaches your robots from anywhere. It's ROS 2 compatible. The installer links cerulion into ~/.local/bin, adds one line to your shell startup files and installs Rust when Rust 1.95 or newer is missing. Then sign in once with cerulion ...
ExcalidrawZ is an enhanced version of Excalidraw with added features like file management, iCloud sync, and AI assistance. It records checkpoints for app-managed drawings and integrates with Apple platforms for a seamless experience.
IBM i's PVV mechanism uses a 32-byte HMAC key derived from program attributes and LIC constants to ensure consistency during restore. Recalculating PVV and SAVF checks allows modified native instructions to survive in USER-state programs, demonstrating execution of altered code.
