Astral's tools will join OpenAI's Codex team to push AI and software development forward. The goal remains to make programming more productive with tools that feel fast, robust, and integrated.
OpenBSD's PF packet filter now supports 64-bit bandwidth values, removing a 4.29 Gbps limit. This change allows correct configuration for high-speed interfaces up to 999G.
Juggalo face makeup can evade facial recognition due to its black bands obscuring key features. However, Apple's Face ID uses depth perception, making Juggalo makeup ineffective against it.
You've created animations to help people understand inequalities in a geometrical way, using classic shapes like circles, triangles, and squares. Your visualizations show how the Arithmetic Mean (AM), Geometric Mean (GM), Quadratic Mean (QM), and Harmonic Mean (HM) relate to each other, and how they can be represented using geometric shapes.
The user is explaining the mathematical concept of consensus, specifically the Paxos algorithm, through a series of illustrations of a committee of five members trying to choose a color for a bike shed. The user is focusing on the logical structure of the universe that makes consensus possible, and will eventually discuss the pragmatics of consensus in a future post.
Afroman, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, was found not liable for defamation in a lawsuit filed by seven Ohio cops over a satirical music video. Foreman was sued for $3.9 million in damages but was cleared of all charges.
Researchers found that large language models can be trained more efficiently using synthetic data from abstract dynamical systems, specifically neural cellular automata, rather than natural language. This approach enables in-context learning and reasoning capabilities without inheriting human biases.
The user created an interactive display for Conway's Game of Life using a 17x17 matrix of switches and LEDs, with a Microchip AVR128DA64 MCU controlling the display and user input. The project involved designing a PCB, adding MOSFETs and transistors for row and column switching, and implementing safety features such as a watchdog timer and blackout window for screen updates.

ENIAC, the first large-scale electronic digital computer, was unveiled in 1946 and revolutionized mathematics and engineering. It paved the way for modern computing and transformed industries with its high-speed, general-purpose computing capabilities.
Gluon is a Python frontend to Triton GPU ttg IR, providing explicit controls and optimizations for GPU programming. It strikes a balance between portability and performance, suitable for domain-specific languages in the era of agentic AI.
Tom Hartmann is a software mechanic who fixes problems in custom software used by farmers. He helps clients like Margaret Brennan and Ethan Novak resolve issues with their generated tools, often due to inadequate specifications or unforeseen interactions between tools.
A fast, self-hosted reverse geocoding service built from OpenStreetMap data. Given latitude and longitude coordinates, it returns the nearest street address including house number, street name, city, state, county, postcode, and country. Part of the Traccar open source GPS tracking platform. Also available as a hosted service. services: geocoder: image: traccar/traccar-geocoder environment: - ...
Processors can learn to predict branches over time, especially with repeated use of the same random values. AMD processors performed well in this benchmark, while Intel processors showed disappointing results.
ICML 2026 implemented rules to handle AI usage in peer review, with 506 reviewers violating LLM usage rules. 497 papers were desk-rejected due to reviewers using LLMs despite agreeing not to.
Austin, Texas, implemented policy reforms to increase housing supply and affordability, resulting in a 30% increase in housing units and a 7% decline in rents from 2015 to 2024. The city's proactive policies, including zoning changes, density bonuses, and streamlined permitting, have made it one of the only major cities where rent has fallen since the pandemic.
The military played a significant role in the development of early computing, with many innovations arising from academic research laboratories at prestigious universities. The University of Illinois's PLATO system, developed in the 1960s and 1970s, was a precursor to modern computing and internet concepts, influencing the development of Lotus Notes, a groupware product that revolutionized ...
The Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science developed SIDWIN, a window management system that provides a simple interface for creating windows and handling user input, aiming for portability across different platforms. SIDWIN offers various functions for creating and managing windows, handling user input, and drawing graphics and text, making it a useful tool for developers.
Coalton is a statically typed functional programming language that lives inside Common Lisp, undergoing significant changes to improve its functionality and usability. The next release will introduce fixed arity functions, improved type error messages, and support for keyword arguments, collections, and associations.
Duplicating specific layers in transformer models boosts reasoning capabilities without training or weight changes. This method, built on David Ng's RYS method, finds and exploits "reasoning circuits" hidden in transformer models.
Gas prices jumped to four-year highs and oil prices rose again after an escalation of attacks by Israel and Iran on gasfields heightened fears of prolonged disruption to international energy supplies. On Thursday, QatarEnergy told Reuters Iran had damaged facilities that produced 17% of the state-owned company’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity and that it would take three to five ...
The author argues that agentic coding's claim to generate code from specifications is misleading, as these specifications often resemble code themselves. The author also claims that generating code from specifications doesn't reliably work.
The author criticizes modern websites for prioritizing ads over user experience, leading to frustrating and intrusive designs. This is driven by an auction system that rewards publishers for keeping users on their pages.
To set up a Wander console, download a ZIP file, extract index.html and wander.js, and place them in the /wander/ directory of your website. Then edit wander.js according to the directions at codeberg.org/susam/wander.
Lawmakers and advocates are concerned that facial recognition technology in stores could lead to profiling and dynamic pricing without clear regulations. Proposed legislation in New York City and Congress aims to ban the use of facial recognition for setting prices without customer consent.
NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open source stack for running OpenClaw assistants safely with NVIDIA OpenShell runtime and cloud inference. It's early-stage and not production-ready, with interfaces and APIs subject to change.
The central limit theorem states that averages of many random outcomes follow a normal distribution, allowing scientists to make predictions about the world. This theorem is a fundamental concept in modern science, enabling researchers to infer patterns from chaotic data.
An AI agent learns MaxSAT strategies without human guidance, refining its toolbox and pushing improvements to a shared repo. It uses git for communication and low parallelism, but can focus on a single instance for hours.
