A hacker breached Romania's cadastre agency, wiping the country's land registry database after a failed extortion attempt. The hack has brought the real-estate market to a standstill.
American companies are losing the AI model market due to their locked-down business practices, while China's open approach is gaining traction. China's release of AI models openly could turn a US-created compute disadvantage into a distribution advantage, and create a more effective global ecosystem.
The author of the text discusses the limitations of screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) in accurately simulating real-world lighting effects, particularly in corners of rooms. They argue that SSAO often produces unrealistic results, such as darkening corners, due to a misunderstanding of how light interacts with surfaces.
The author explores how artificial light at night affects cities, citing excessive lighting as a problem that disrupts human health and ecological balance. LEDs offer a solution, but their potential is often wasted due to outdated thinking and a failure to control and coordinate lighting levels.
The sky (and your endurance) is the limit!
The author, a computer scientist, argues that the term "artificial intelligence" is misleading and that we should think of AI as a tool for social collaboration rather than a creature that can be independent and intelligent. By recognizing the human essence of AI and giving people credit and control over their contributions, we can create a more transparent and equitable technology that ...
The author argues that perfection is not over-engineering, but rather ambiguous requirements. Clear requirements lead to a perfect solution.
Editing a Chrome extension title makes its rankings 4x more likely to move within two weeks, with equal odds of improvement or decline. Matching the title to a specific search phrase can lead to higher rankings, but only if the phrase has real volume and the extensions currently on top are growing.
GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.
A security researcher used a large language model called Sol to discover a pre-authentication SQL injection vulnerability in WordPress, which can be escalated to a full-blown RCE. The researcher found that Sol was able to chain together several creative exploitation techniques, including recursive batch calls and cache abuse, to produce a full exploit chain in just over 10 hours.
Hi HN, I’m Alex Southmayd, the founder of Bloomy (https://bloomylearning.com) – an AI-powered mastery-learning platform for K-12 students. Bloomy provides students with an AI tutor alongside adaptive curriculum (right now Math, English Language Arts, and Writing). How it works: we diagnose students’ skill gaps, place them on personalized learning paths, and give them standards-aligned lessons ...
The author worked at Google from 2007 to 2016, starting as a communications associate and eventually becoming a manager, crafting internal messaging and social media content that amplified the company's corporate mythology. As the company grew and evolved, the author witnessed both its innovative spirit and its flaws, including a culture of sexism, a lack of accountability, and a failure to ...

Two state-of-the-art foundation models, Kimi K3 and Qwen 3.8, were launched, challenging top-tier model developers and threatening Anthropic's dominance. Their open models and lower costs pose a significant risk to Anthropic's product differentiation and economic model.
The US is requiring EU countries to share biometric data and personal information for traveller screening, with the EU negotiating a Framework Agreement to set exchange modalities. The EU is being pressured into excessive US demands, potentially compromising European and third-country nationals' rights and data protection.
The New York City subway uses wayside color-light block signalling with signals located to the side of tracks, utilizing colors of lights and dividing tracks into discrete blocks to detect train presence. Signals rely on control lengths and overlap to keep trains at least one signal apart and enforce separation between trains.
We scored the full text of 12,750 arXiv papers and found that about a third of new ones read as machine-written. Here is the method, the results, and an honest account of the limitations. There is a genre of headline that says "N% of X is now AI," and most are not worth reading, because the detector behind the number also flags some share of genuine human writing. If a tool marks 40% ...
Inertia-1 brings motion models under one roof, studying the full lifecycle of motion data, sensing, objectives, and scale in a controlled space. It finds a unified representation that adapts across placements, devices, and tasks with practical rules of thumb for sampling rates and window lengths.

Soofi S stellt ein offenes europäisches KI-Modell vor, das nachvollziehbare und anpassbare KI-Anwendungen ermöglicht, insbesondere in industriellen Bereichen. Unternehmen können sich für die Testphase anmelden, um praxisnahe Tests mit Soofi durchzuführen.
ECC RAM corrects errors in memory before reaching the CPU, using Hamming codes to detect and correct single-bit errors. ECC RAM is recommended for systems storing important data, as it can prevent data corruption and lost time due to RAM hardware errors.
User tested Kimi K3 on Rust program optimization, and it successfully applied SWAR optimization in 15 minutes, resulting in 2% speedup. Kimi K3's performance and accuracy suggest it may be a frontier-level model as advertised.
The user thoroughly criticizes OpenCode, an AI coding agent, for its numerous security and usability issues, including poor permission handling, broken prompt caching, and lack of protection for early reads. The user argues that OpenCode's design is fundamentally flawed and that using it can lead to trivial exploitation or accidental wiping of machines, and suggests that local LLMs are also ...
It has been almost two years since OpenAI released o1, a model that popularized the idea of LLM-based reasoning models. DeepSeek-R1 followed about four months later, together with details of a reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) recipe to train such reasoning models. Last week, OpenAI released the GPT-5.6 model family. It comes in three sizes, each with roughly five or six ...
Good afternoon, the government today held its penultimate cabinet meeting before the summer break, with two bigg-ish announcements set to impact the very young and the very old. Meanwhile, President Pavel was in Ostrava to talk about the importance of culture in our fragmented societies, and some Prague public transport news. Here's this afternoon's wrap-up. The government backed a ...
University of Queensland researchers found that most skin temperature sensitive nerve cells can sense both cool and warmth, challenging a widely accepted view. This new understanding could help explain thermal dysfunction in people with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and ageing.
Moonshine allows remote PC gaming with isolated streaming sessions and keyboard, mouse, and controller inputs. It requires a Linux system and a VPN for secure internet streaming.
Riemann was able to find an even more precise formula computing the number of prime numbers less than a number (n). the size of xrho depends only on how big s is, so if you have 0, then y = n - p / r h = 1...! equating logarithms with primes can be done in
The first time I saw Michelangelo’s David in person, I wept. Never in my life have I witnessed a more beautiful piece of content. I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Museum patrons all around me were looking up from their phones to admire David as well. Despite it being legacy content, David was so scrollstoppingly captivating that it generated stronger engagement than TikTok and ...
