The LLMs were tested on real-world tasks with a focus on single tasks, not academic metrics. The overall score is the pass rate across 28 real-world tasks, with glm-5.3 being the top pick for its 100% success rate and low cost of $0.28 per task.
A user successfully rooted their Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet to remove unwanted software, costing $266.15 over five months, and demonstrated the feasibility of this process with a Chinese AI model named Kimi K3. The root exploit was found by GLM-5.2 after Kimi K3's initial failure due to a design bug in its code.
Complex systems inherently have hazardous processes, requiring multiple layers of defense against failure. These defenses include technical, human, organizational, and regulatory measures that work together to provide a series of shields against accidents.
OpenMediaVault GPL-3.0 – replaces Synology / QNAP NAS OS on modest hardware Lightweight Debian-based NAS with plugin system. 0 post(s) »
Researchers discovered a new Android malware that infects car head units through the built-in firmware update process, creating a proxy botnet for ad fraud. The malware was linked to the MoYu Group and is believed to be part of the BADBOX botnet.
The author critiques Sal Khan's AI tutoring revolution, arguing that it failed because it lacked purpose and didn't allow students to actively construct their understanding. The true power of learning lies in the human systems, not technology alone.
Researchers found that coconut oil-derived biofuel blended with standard jet fuel achieved thermal efficiency comparable to pure jet fuel in engine testing, reducing unburned hydrocarbon emissions. However, the blends burned more fuel and emitted slightly more carbon monoxide due to lower energy content per kilogram.
Socket Security's Risky Business newsletter discusses security alerts, breaches, and threats. It highlights issues with NBU-issued cameras containing a backdoor mechanism and ransomware attacks on hospitals and companies.
The author revisits and revises an old draft to create a new query language inspired by SQL, with the goal of making relational data more manageable for programmers. The proposed language incorporates features from functional programming paradigms like lazy evaluation and pattern matching.
The author emphasizes the importance of reading for writers, stating that it's a crucial part of developing writing skills and creativity. They argue that aspiring writers should read widely and regularly to inform their own unique writing style.
Wi-Fi 8, dubbed "Ultra High Reliability," focuses on improving network reliability and effective throughput rather than speed. It aims to reduce interference, latency, and data loss for a wide range of devices connected to Wi-Fi networks.
Researchers found a CPU with a micro-crack that caused it to break off when removed from its heatsink. The crack was relatively long and straight, but applying force made it give way, causing the silicon chunk to detach.
An agent harness is a software tool that provides an environment for AI models to operate within, allowing users to own and adapt it. It consists of instructions, tools, and a framework that governs the model's behavior.
The author tested Qwen 3.8 27B, a highly-anticipated open-weight model, on a single machine and found it to be capable of reverse-engineering a commercial app's license check with impressive results. The model successfully identified the developer and recovered the obscured public verification key in under an hour.
This post discusses the impact of implementation-specific hazards on inference models, aiming to show how different implementations can significantly affect model performance. The author will conduct technical experiments using various reference implementations to demonstrate these differences.

A JIT compiler is a technique to generate compiled code at runtime, resulting in performance wins of 2-5x. A simple regular expression engine was built using JIT compilation, achieving comparable performance to handwritten code.
AROS, an Amiga-derived OS, has been ported to Raspberry Pi in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This allows former Amiga owners to run the OS on modern hardware without needing virtualization or emulation.
The article discusses the enduring popularity of Blade Runner, a visually haunting movie that has inspired art and continues to be a work of art. The film's stunning visuals, designed by Syd Mead, have stood the test of time and remain influential in science fiction cinema.
The writer yearns for a simpler internet, free from modern trends and focusing on personal connections. They dream of building something new with handmade websites, hackable hardware, and meaningful content that resonates with users.
Hister creates a private search index of visited pages and files, allowing users to control what's indexed. The tool supports various sources, including browser extensions, file watches, and crawlers.
The rise of LLMs has reduced the importance of programming languages, allowing developers to choose based on marketing rather than technical considerations. As a result, more projects are adopting "hard" languages like Rust and Zig, and exploring complex technologies that were previously inaccessible.
A user discovered a trend of companies naming themselves after numbers followed by "labs", possibly inspired by ElevenLabs, and found numerous examples online. The reason behind this naming scheme is unclear, but it may be due to independent innovation or a desire to associate with the AI industry.
The author moved to Pittsburgh in 2006 and struggled with winter, especially without working utilities. They encountered scrappers who would steal valuable metals from their property, including a cast-iron bathtub that mysteriously disappeared.
typ.ing is an awesome typing trainer, designed to help you get faster and more accurate when typing with an external keyboard. It looks like you're using a mobile device - typ.ing will work much better if you plug a physical keyboard in (or just use a computer).
The author argues that pixel units can be misleading and proposes using character width (ch) for widths and ex for heights to create more readable layouts. This approach allows gaps to be proportional to the text content, rather than screen size.
