Cobalt is an open-source application platform for Kobo e-readers, allowing users to install and manage apps independently. It provides a secure runtime environment with verified app signatures and automatic updates over Wi-Fi.
Unauthorized access to GitHub occurred through a supply-chain attack and social engineering email campaign, exposing a malicious DNS server. AI agents' actions on third-party entities are only counted if they directly affect the entity, excluding isolated sandbox escapes.
The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys created the largest 2D map of the universe, combining over 263,000 telescope exposures to reveal nearly 4 billion celestial objects. This data will aid researchers in studying dark energy and dark matter, as well as rare phenomena like gravitational lenses and supernovae.
Kagi has revamped its Stocks widget, added a price chart and exchange-traded funds information, and improved search functionality with more powerful lenses. The company also released Orion 1.1 for macOS with a new interface, containers, and personalized browser borders.
The author took over phone-network infrastructure domains (e164.arpa) of entire territories, including Germany, and logged hundreds of thousands of phone calls to military bases. They reported the incident but were met with bureaucratic hurdles before eventually transferring ownership to the UK's National Cyber Security Centre.

Waymo's Driver uses raw sensor data to make real-time driving decisions with ultra-low latency and high-performance computing. The system is designed for deterministic, ruggedized, and redundant performance in various environments.
The Qwen3-TTS 1.7B CustomVoice implementation achieves sub-50 ms p95 time-to-first-audio (TTFA) while maintaining real-time playback on a single NVIDIA H100 SXM, outperforming other implementations. The system produces approximately 630 characters per second at 10 RPS and translates to ~$2 per 1M characters at full utilization.
The deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp model accepts images alongside text and supports three methods to provide an image: base64 data URL, external http(s) URL, or Files API file_id. The model can analyze charts, describe pictures, read text from screenshots.
Claude Mythos 5 is now available in Claude Security, and a $35M fund will help secure open-source software. The goal is to expand access to Mythos-level defense capabilities while maintaining safety classifiers and safeguards.

A highly experienced Rust expert will lead the migration of LiteLLM from Python to Rust, focusing on performance and stability. The goal is to create the fastest AI gateway ever built with a gradual rollout at 1B+ requests/mo.
A 60p Raspberry Pi chip can emulate a mid-1990s computer, sparking ideas for minimal viable modern computers that are simple, low power and environmentally friendly. These devices could have e-paper screens, solar power and calmer interfaces to reduce addictiveness of modern devices.
The app's recording engine was unreliable due to GC pauses and browser runtime issues, so it went native with ScreenCaptureKit on macOS and libobs on Windows. A new tool called Atomic bridges the gap between Swift and React, providing a fully reactive, type-safe solution.
Virgil Dupras starts a series guiding web developers into low-level programming, beginning with building a Forth and progressing to Dusk OS and a C compiler. He aims to broaden perspectives through story arcs and corny jokes, targeting those new to low-level development.
The author created a fully remote agentic development environment using OpenAI's LLM, Claude, and self-hosted tools like Coolify and Forgejo. They isolated the LLM on its own metal with network bombproofing measures to prevent unauthorized access.
The authors of the post are performing a reverse engineering analysis of the NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU's memory access patterns, specifically for a vector-add kernel. They measure various latency and throughput metrics to understand how the GPU handles global loads and stores.
Some quick and very personal impressions from using Codex more than Claude this week (I will do a full analysis during the weekend hopefully). (1) While I tried this year to keep Claude and Codex on par, having the same set of plugins/skills and so on, Claude had more skills, as I created skills out of some sessions and not all of them were ported to Codex. Fix for this is simple: Point Codex ...
The writer has found a suitable music player using an old Android phone, specifically the Huawei P30, after struggling to find a decent device. They've successfully debloated the phone and installed Poweramp, Panoscrobbler, and Niagara Launcher for smooth music playback.
The writer is experiencing difficulty focusing on documents sent by colleagues, suspecting they may be AI-generated due to overly technical language and marketing jargon. This phenomenon has led them to develop a "pre-trained" eye for spotting low-effort AI content, which now ignores such texts without much thought.
Claude, a great engineer with a condition of talking like a millennial clickbait, has been trained on old Buzzfeed articles. A new skill called "Claudette" debuzzes Claude's responses by translating them into regular English using the Gemini CLI.
The author reflects on the rapid advancement of technology, noting that many futuristic concepts are now a reality, such as robots and AI-powered systems. These advancements have become mundane and ordinary in everyday life.
The decayfmt file format corrupts itself with each open, permanently damaging the file on disk by an amount specified in the filename. The level of corruption is determined by a positive integer x, which controls how much data is lost or garbled during each read operation.
NASA sent five robotic spacecraft into orbit around the Moon in 1966 and 1967, utilizing a camera system developed by Eastman Kodak. The Lunar Orbiter's camera was originally designed for satellite surveillance programs like SAMOS and Corona, but its technology was adapted for lunar exploration after NASA expressed interest in using it.
Researchers developed a data-driven geometric method to define and quantify the dance floor in honey bee colonies, capturing approximately 91% of waggle dances across all colonies. The study found that hive size significantly influenced dance floor structure, with larger hives having longer and wider dance floors, while day of year and time of day also affected centroid position and orientation.
This page compares Hugging Face models that can fit within a user's budget, ranked by quality and memory. It uses the shoehorn UI browser app to measure machine compatibility and render a tape measure with perplexity numbers.
Google's system detected unusual traffic from your computer network, possibly due to malicious software or automated requests. Solving the CAPTCHA will allow you to continue using their services temporarily.
