The user is frustrated with Gmail's new AI features that nag and interrupt them while composing emails. They're switching to Fastmail after 16 years with Gmail due to the unwanted features.
Researchers at Anthropic used circuit tracing to understand LLMs by training a replacement model to recreate outputs of base model's layers, decomposing activations into human-interpretable features. This allows tracing semantic relationships between high-level concepts, enabling pseudo-symbolic inference and multi-step reasoning.
The user is learning Clojure and finds it ergonomic and powerful, preferring it over Common Lisp and Scheme due to its cohesive design and large standard library. They appreciate Clojure's simplicity and uniformity, but acknowledge some pain points, such as its syntax and the need to learn Java for interop.
The HP 16c Collector's Edition retains the classic layout but is 100x faster with customizable word size and base conversions. It features programming capabilities with conditional branching, subroutines, and flags, and supports up to 203 bytes of program memory.
The Open Repair Data Standard (ORDS) helps combine repair data on electronics by defining a shared approach. It collects data on product, repair, and session information to identify trends globally and locally.
This walking tour in downtown Seattle aims to expose the hidden layers of surveillance technology in the city, including cameras, license plate readers, and data collection systems, and to raise questions about their use and impact on society. The tour highlights various surveillance tools and sites, including Amazon Go, Acyclica, the Washington State Fusion Center, and a peering site, and ...
Adafruit received a letter from Flux's counsel demanding they stop publishing an article about Flux's intellectual property and user base. Adafruit has temporarily stopped publishing to consider their response to the demand.
Kapa's AI assistant uses a vision model at indexing time to describe images as text, then retrieves these descriptions alongside text chunks at query time, improving answer quality and reducing costs. This approach, which involves describing images once at ingestion and storing them as separate text chunks, outperforms query-time vision and is more cost-effective for large-scale applications.
The user is building a competitor monitoring agent and notes that sites with RSS feeds are more reliable than those without, requiring less maintenance. They added an RSS feed to their newsletter and saw two aggregators pick it up automatically within a week.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order addressing AI-driven cyber threats with a voluntary review process for AI companies. The order aims to enhance national security and global AI dominance while avoiding heavy federal oversight.

Gleam v1.17.0 has been published with new features and bug fixes. It includes improved escript creation, language server support, and compiler optimizations.
Big Tech companies are proposing a built-in advertising system, Attribution Level 1, which prioritizes their own tracking over user privacy. This system could lead to more money for Big Tech and less for legitimate sites, while also enabling riskier tracking practices.
The author promotes Janet, a small, easy-to-learn Lisp dialect with a simple syntax and powerful features like macros and implicit serialization. Janet is ideal for writing command-line apps, scripting, and embedding in other languages due to its ease of use and flexibility.
Six weeks into the term, I assigned my rhetoric and writing students a 20-page article. It was the same length I had assigned for five years and the same length I had read without complaint as an undergraduate a decade ago. Not one student finished it. When I asked why, a student answered honestly: It was too long, and she kept losing track of what the paper was about. This was not a remedial ...
QBE 1.3 is a significant release with 7k new lines of code and 1.5k deleted ones, featuring a new IL matching algorithm and optimizations. It achieves 63% of commercial compiler performance on coremark and 33% improvement on the Hare test suite.
User has a large MP3 collection on Google Drive and Home Assistant. They followed a blog post to connect Google Drive to Music Assistant using rclone and WebDAV server.
Project Glasswing is expanding to 150 new organizations in 15 countries to secure software with AI. The goal is to adapt to AI's changing cybersecurity landscape and prevent catastrophic attacks affecting over 100 million people.
