Discontinuities in tax policies, subsidies, and other systems can lead to people behaving in ways that are not optimal, such as losing money to reduce taxes or manipulating grades. Smoothing out these discontinuities can help mitigate these issues, and techniques like randomization can be used to achieve this.

Robert J. Sawyer, a science fiction author, uses WordStar for writing due to its intuitive interface and long-hand-page metaphor, which allows for easy editing and navigation. WordStar's unique control-key commands and customizable options make it a more productive tool for writers.
The user created a "Town Square" feature on their website, allowing visitors to see each other as stick figures and interact. They've open sourced it and made it available for others to integrate into their sites.
Sakana AI launched Fugu, a frontier AI model, in Tokyo, targeting Japanese businesses and government agencies to reduce export control exposure. The move comes as the US government's ban on Anthropic's models drags on, with local alternatives like Sakana and China's 360 filling the gap.
The author was targeted by a fake-interview scam using a RAT called PinpinRAT, which was embedded in a TypeScript repository. The scam was sophisticated and used multiple fake websites, stolen history, and a patient timeline to avoid detection.
Mythos, a powerful AI model, has raised concerns about its potential to automate zero-day exploits, but its actual impact may be overstated. Existing cybersecurity measures, such as zero trust principles and AI-assisted vulnerability management, can still be effective in protecting against AI-assisted attacks.
The text is a dummy sample of the printing industry, used since the 1500s. It has remained unchanged despite the transition to electronic typesetting.
Physicists have different methods to count elementary particles due to complexities in the Standard Model of particle physics. The number of particles can range from 17 to over 1000 depending on the criteria used.
One of the great economic myths that never seems to die is the idea that giving taxpayer money to a private company will yield a windfall, incentivizing the company to create jobs and generate wealth that otherwise would not exist. And yet time and time again, the benefits fall far short of what was promised, if they materialize at all. A new repor...
A man in Claremore, Oklahoma, was arrested for speaking past a three-minute timer at a city council meeting about a proposed 270-to-300-acre data center campus. The arrest raises questions about how towns handle dissent when big infrastructure money arrives and the limits of public comment.
A Hacker News departures board displays top 20 stories with rank, score, and title on a split-flap display. It fetches the front page on a schedule and allows users to pin their own text and toggle flap clicks.
Adrafinil is a macOS app that keeps a Mac awake when an AI coding agent is active, then sleeps normally when the agent finishes. It's a privileged helper that isolates sleep control in an unprivileged daemon.
Researchers warn that screen time for babies under two may lead to long-term negative effects on health and quality of life. They call for urgent investigation and reconsideration of government guidance on screen time for under-fives.
Researchers found that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic reverse depression-like behavior in mice and humans by promoting beneficial gut microbes. A specific microbe, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, produces mood-boosting endocannabinoids when exposed to GLP-1 drugs.
A 60-year-old man in Spain had multiple brain lesions and was initially suspected of having metastatic cancer. However, tests revealed he had neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae.
Encrypted DNS options like DoH and DoT add latency but often have similar whole-page load times as plain DNS. However, they provide better security and some providers have minor overhead.
Iran and Oman's foreign ministries discussed the IMO plan on Monday, finalizing it before its suspension due to the IRGC's insistence on the northern route. The evacuation plan remains suspended due to a lack of guarantees that ships will not be attacked, despite traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continuing largely unabated.
IBM's MCGA is a low-cost video chipset used in PS/2 models 25 and 30, consisting of memory and video formatter gate arrays. The formatter gate array decodes ISA addresses, manages RAMDAC, and generates pixel data in graphics and text modes.
Young people in rich countries struggle with unaffordable housing near good jobs, leading to frustration and delayed independence. The issue may be partly due to a lack of new housing supply, partly attributed to older generations.
The author discusses issues with software hackathons, citing a lack of quality projects and perverse incentives for participants. They propose a solution using a funding model that rewards participants based on actual coding time, rather than self-reported hours.
Our services are down due to a power outage affecting three servers, with one server now back online but others still unreachable. We're investigating the cause and waiting for a fix from the datacenter operator.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed pixels that can both create and analyze images. These bidirectional pixels could lead to the development of camera-displays that combine the two functions in a single device.
To add an extra layer of security to a web browser or Electron-based IM application, use LXC to isolate the application from the host system. This involves creating an unprivileged container with network capabilities and mapping UIDs and GIDs to unused host IDs.
MacBooks with unified memory behave like slow GPUs with large video RAM, allowing large model runs but at slower speeds. A MacBook M5 64GB can run certain models at 1500 tps prefix and 45 tps decode on 100K tokens.
The Videx VideoTerm card solved the Apple II's 40-column text limitation by using the Motorola MC6845 CRT Controller and 2KB of video RAM to store an 80-column character grid. The card's firmware and hardware architecture are emulated in the A2FPGA, which accurately replicates the original Videx card's behavior.
The unified AI inference stack - from custom GPU kernels to production cloud serving on NVIDIA and AMD. 2x performance. Top open models. Open source stack.
AI-generated content is increasingly indistinguishable from human writing, making AI detectors unreliable. A new feature, "replays," provides a history of document edits, offering proof of human authorship.
