The user has been using local models since their release and has seen significant improvements in accuracy and speed, particularly with the Gemma 4 family, allowing for agentic coding and tasks like refactoring code and writing unit tests. The user is excited about the potential of local models but notes that they still have limitations, such as slow inference and small context windows, and ...

When identifying IIS servers, use Google dorks like "aspnet_client" and "ext:aspx" to locate targets, then use tools like httpx and nuclei to gather information and enumerate potential vulnerabilities. Techniques like shortname enumeration, path traversal, and HTTP Parameter Pollution can be used to discover and exploit IIS-specific vulnerabilities, such as RCE via deserialization and stored ...
Wolfram Language has expanded beyond math and now includes a new release, Version 15, with a lot of new core functionality and AI integration. The AI Assistant in Version 15 provides a convenient way to get help in doing things with Wolfram Language and can be used to access an AI from within Wolfram Notebooks.
To make a GET request in a minimal Docker container, use bash to open a TCP socket with /dev/tcp and write the request by hand. This method works for plaintext HTTP but not HTTPS, and is a bash feature not available in all shells.
OpenAI's leaked financials show a $38.53 billion net loss in 2025, with $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in total costs. The company's spending mix, including $19.18 billion in research and development, is a key factor in its expanding operating losses.
Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, refused to license his characters for merchandise due to artistic integrity concerns. He fought a six-year battle with his syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, before they agreed to his terms.
Researchers at TNO, SURF, and NFI are building a Dutch language model, GPT-NL, with strong governance, transparency, and public values. This independent model strengthens the Netherlands' digital autonomy and provides a foundation for responsible AI applications.
Tim Ferriss shares his concerns about the impact of AI on the self-help and non-fiction book industry, citing a 57% drop in print sales of his own books since the launch of LLMs like ChatGPT. He believes that the trend will continue and that the industry will need to adapt by focusing on long-form content, personal connections, and unique experiences that AI cannot replicate.
The game is a satirical model of the 85th St & I-405 interchange, inspired by Kirkland roundabouts, and not intended for driving instruction. It's designed for computers with a keyboard and laptop-sized screen, with suboptimal mobile controls.
The IBM 1130 Computing System was introduced in 1965 as a price-sensitive computer for education and engineering. It holds a place in computing history due to its popularity and the fondness of its former users.
The PDP-11 is a minicomputer that played a significant role in the history of computing, influencing modern operating systems, programming languages, and interactive computing. It was introduced in 1970 and sold over 600,000 units during its 22-year lifespan.
The author built a custom static site generator from scratch, which is an example of yak shaving, a term coined by Carlin Vieri to describe doing a chain of related tasks that eventually lose their original purpose. Yak shaving can be fun but often leads to wasted time and resources.
The European Commission declined to propose legislation requiring publishers to keep discontinued video games playable. Instead, it will initiate discussions with the industry and consumers to draft an industry code of conduct for managing games at the end of their life cycle.
CRT display characteristics include ZnS:Ag phosphor screen persistence and forward-only RC lowpass. Nipkow's disk design features outer holes traveling faster and a frame sync signal from blanking the first line.
User upgraded home LAN to 10Gb/s using 10GBASE-T modules. A new Broadcom-based module replaced a Marvell-based one that overheated, resolving network issues.
A child perches on the edge of her bed. Waves lap at the floor beneath her dangling feet. Here in Depok, a village on the Indonesian island of Java, the ocean has flowed inside the house. Such a sight is not uncommon in the rural communities along Java’s northern coastline, where up to four metres of land each year are swallowed by the sea. Rice paddies, fish ponds and coconut trees have all ...
cuTile Rust is a tile-based system for writing memory-safe GPU kernels in Rust, extending ownership discipline across the GPU launch boundary. It supports synchronous launches, asynchronous pipelines, and CUDA graph replay, with a macro for embedding kernel code in the host binary.
The Qwen-Robot Suite bridges the gap between vision and language understanding and physical control with three foundation models: Qwen-RobotNav, Qwen-RobotManip, and Qwen-RobotWorld. These models enable an agentic system where general intelligence translates directly into physical action.
The author uses Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues to reduce motion sickness while working in a moving vehicle. This feature, introduced in 2024, uses dots on the screen that move in harmony with the car's motion.
A mechanical watch uses a spiral torsion spring to store energy, which is then released to power the watch's hands. The energy is controlled by gears and an escapement mechanism, ultimately regulated by a balance wheel oscillating at a precise rate.
Meta's engineering culture has been drastically changed under new leadership, with engineers being reassigned to data labeling and AI training, and being tracked with invasive software. This has led to widespread dissatisfaction, a major security breach, and a significant outage, with many engineers seeking new jobs and questioning the priorities of CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Jane Street is now excited about formal methods after being skeptical due to high costs. They're building a team to make formal methods useful for software development.
The user has a custom NAS setup using Alpine Linux with a single initramfs containing the entire system. They've created a custom setup using alpine-make-rootfs to build a container image with a simple system configuration.
The user's AI reflex-app builder generates massive Python code, but running reflex compile finds issues one at a time, increasing latency. To fix this, the user built a custom linter, but it was slow due to ast.walk, which they optimized by rewriting it in Rust and caching subclass information.
Apple is changing Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email aliases to @private.icloud.com, making it easier to ban them. This change may lead to services rejecting these emails, reducing their usefulness for iCloud+ users.
67 new projects have been awarded grants as part of the Next Generation Internet initiative, covering the entire technology stack from open hardware to services and applications.
An archive of ~2500 pictorial typography and letterpress works spanning four centuries, images composed entirely of type ornaments, characters, and rule. The history of ASCII art before computers.
