The user contributed to the Pybricks project and obtained a used Lego NXT with the original 2006 firmware version 1.01, which they wanted to archive, leading to the discovery of arbitrary code execution. They successfully exploited the NXT's firmware to gain native ARM code execution, allowing them to access and dump the firmware, and potentially enabling the creation of an NXT worm.
Physicists at CERN and other labs are developing FLASH radiotherapy, a new cancer treatment that delivers high doses of radiation in a short burst, reducing damage to healthy tissue. Researchers are refining the technology and expect it to become a routine clinical option in about 10 years, potentially transforming cancer care worldwide.

A Polymarket user made a $20,000 bet that Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be out of power by March, netting a $120,000 profit. This raises concerns about insider trading and potential national-security threats from prediction markets.
CasNum (Compass and straightedge Number) is a library that implements arbitrary precision arithmetic using compass and straightedge constructions. Arbitrary precision arithmetic, now with 100% more Euclid. Featuring a functional modified Game Boy emulator where every ALU opcode is implemented entirely through geometric constructions. This project began with a simple compass-and-straightedge ...
The user discusses Live++ by Molecular Matters, a C/C++ hot-reload/live coding solution, and shares a project to inject code into a running process on macOS using Mach APIs. The project involves modifying a test program's memory, allocating executable memory, and setting up a trampoline to replace a function with new code.
A school's AI detection tool flagged a student's essay as 18% AI written due to the word "devoid," but the score dropped to 0% when the word was replaced with "without." This incident highlights how AI detection tools can stifle creativity and good writing, pushing students toward mediocrity.
Archaeologists analyzed residues on prehistoric ceramic pots and found evidence of diverse diets combining plants and animals in ancient Eastern European populations. They discovered region-specific recipes, including fish with wild grasses and legumes in one area and fish with green vegetables in another.

The user reflects on their beer purchases and the concept of "taste" in Pierre Bourdieu's book "Distinction," realizing that their preferences may be influenced by social class and a desire to fit in with certain groups. The user distills Bourdieu's ideas into a simpler form, arguing that people from different classes prefer different things and that this preference can have significant ...
A rough start to what would later become one of my favorite tech ads from the 80s. The idea of robots literally eating your precious and portable files must have been far more terrifying than it was exciting that Maxell’s 5.25” disks were on some Michelin-rated menu of computer hardware. That could be oil in their glasses but it sure looks like white wine. And what, they’re going to season ...
Ernst Mach created a self-portrait in 1870 to illustrate his ideas about self-perception, which was later published in 1886. The drawing shows Mach lying on a sofa, with his left eye viewing his body and environment.

The user's children are addicted to gaming devices, so they created a retro-style game console using Arduino and addressable LEDs to encourage creation over consumption. The project, called "48x32", features a custom enclosure and simple games like Snake, with the next installment explaining the software and providing resources for building one's own.
Researchers at Oxford University found a link between tinnitus and sleep, suggesting that deep sleep may temporarily mask tinnitus effects. They propose that sleep could be a therapeutic target to treat tinnitus, which affects 15% of the world's population.
Meta is defending itself against a class-action lawsuit by arguing that using pirated books to train its LLM qualifies as fair use, and that uploading pirated books to other users via BitTorrent is also fair use due to the protocol's inherent nature. The company claims that its use of BitTorrent was necessary to obtain the valuable data, and that the authors' own admissions undermine their ...
