The rise of large pickup trucks and SUVs in the US has led to a 75% increase in pedestrian deaths since 2009, with taller hoods and larger blind zones being major contributing factors. Our analysis estimates that about 200-400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century.
The user is uneasy about the future of software development where loops and AI assistants dominate, potentially removing human responsibility and understanding. They question how to retain good engineering rules and human supervision in a future where loops and machines increasingly drive code development.
Lift4D is a test-time optimization framework for 3D reconstruction from monocular video, combining visual cues with data-driven priors. It improves over prior methods by providing coherent initialization and occlusion-aware optimization for challenging in-the-wild sequences.
This is a cli tool for searching files (like grep) that does not use the OS kernel to read files, but reads your disks directly. It is practically useless, but insanely cool. requires sudo only when reading a raw device node (e.g. /dev/rdisk*); searching an image file needs no elevated permissions might not be able to search trees on a highly volatile file system while other system components ...
A collection of high-resolution photolog scans from San Diego in the 1970s reveals a colorful world of pastel-colored cars and whimsical signage. The footage has a distinctly Wes Anderson vibe, with a warm, sun-washed palette and creative typography.

AI hiring tools increase racial bias and shut out certain groups from jobs, with 26% of Black applicants and 15% of Asian applicants facing discrimination. Market concentration and shared dependence on a single vendor exacerbate these issues, highlighting the need for independent research into algorithmic hiring.
Claude Tag is a new feature that allows teams to tag @Claude in Slack for tasks, and it builds context by remembering relevant information. It's available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, with plans to expand availability.
Plotnine is a Python data visualization package based on the grammar of graphics, similar to ggplot2 in R. It's used to create customized visualizations like Anscombe's Quartet with features like coloring, trend lines, and faceting.
The Washington Post's opinion section frequently promotes data centers without mentioning its billionaire owner Jeff Bezos' business interests in the topic. The paper's news side, however, has taken a more skeptical approach to data centers, documenting their downsides and Bezos' connection to the issue.
The Cascade Graph is a knowledge map of the physical economy, showing how stress flows through the real economy. It identifies drivers, chokepoints, and investable tickers to help find where pain cascades and what to own on both problem and solution sides.
Mistral OCR 4 is a document-understanding model that extracts text, bounding boxes, block types, and confidence scores from 170 languages. It's available through a single API endpoint and can be used for enterprise search, RAG, and agentic workflows.
libffi is a function call interpreter that reuses knowledge to speed up function calls. It now has a "plan" feature that precomputes and stores function argument placement, reducing overhead by 6x.
Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who criticized its facial recognition technology, including Evan Greer, Adam Schwartz, and Albert Fox Cahn. The document, found in a data breach, included background information, contact details, and quotes from the activists.
FROMSOFT uses a low-tech AI system in their Soulsborne games, based on a stack of states called Goals, which can be updated and modified to create complex behavior. The system uses a mix of Lua scripting and C++ code, with a focus on flexibility and ease of use for designers and animators, making it well-suited for creating diverse and punishing NPC encounters.
Researchers at Binghamton University developed a 99% successful method to solve Wordle using information theory. Their approach prioritizes guessing words that provide the most information to reduce the pool of possible words.
The user conducted an experiment to determine Bebop's favorite treat using the Bradley-Terry model, which assigns a strength score to each treat based on pairwise comparisons. The results show that Pur Luv Chicken (Treat E) is Bebop's current champion, but Treat A is a close second and requires more trials to confirm the result.
