Gemini 3.7 Flash is the latest model, offering substantial improvements in coding and agent tasks with a lower price point than Gemini 3.6 Flash. It delivers strong gains in debugging, issue resolution, and code accuracy across various workflows and domains.
Cerebras and OpenAI are launching Ultrafast Mode, a new service tier powered by Cerebras that delivers up to 750 output tokens per second without quality compromise. This resolves the tradeoff between speed and intelligence in AI models, enabling faster inference for mission-critical work.
The author reflects on how they've lost the habit of quiet thinking over 14 years, replaced by constant background noise. They rediscovered this habit and found it to be more enjoyable than filling silence with podcasts or social media.
Bluesky Protocol Services launches, organizing documentation for developers using the AT Protocol network's public infrastructure. The new site includes Jetstream v2, which adds history to the network and allows server-side slicing without backfilling locally.
DeepSeek Harness is now in developer preview, offering a plugin-based system for agent developers to create custom harnesses. It provides various modes, including standard, code, minimal and creator modes with tools and capabilities that can be swapped or extended.
The skitter-creek-bath-salts project exploits a vulnerability in AMD Family 16h CPUs by manipulating the DRAM controller to scramble memory, bypassing security features like SEV and SGX. This allows for unrestricted access to protected regions of memory, including PSP private memory and SMRAM.
The author reflects on the importance of technology choices in a company, emphasizing that innovation tokens should be spent wisely and that "boring" technologies like MySQL or PHP can be good enough. They advocate for mindful choice of technology to avoid overwhelming unknowns and operational costs.
The talk discusses the importance of human understanding in systems built by agents, and provides techniques for efficiently understanding code, including explain-diff and shared spaces. These methods aim to bridge the gap between humans and AI, enabling active participation in creative processes.
NP-hard problems are often considered intractable but not impossible to solve, with many practical solutions existing. In practice, the worst-case scenarios rarely occur and can be mitigated with timeouts or heuristics.
DONKEY.BAS shipped with early IBM PC DOS as a demo of color graphics and sound in BASICA. It was written by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Neil Konzen in 1981 (version 1.10 in 1982). You only switch lanes — avoid the donkey, or BOOM. This page recreates the original CGA gameplay in JavaScript with some liberties. Original source: DONKEY.BAS · GitHub
Darian Domocos, CEO of Fiora5, discussed starting a CPU company and the challenges of credibility in Europe. He's focusing on open-source RISC-V processor IP to gain sovereignty over chip design.
Nine PBS sued Iron Mountain Data Centers for over 50 terabytes of archival materials stored in a Denver data center after their cloud-storage vendor, Open Source Storage (OSS), cut off access without warning. The station claims OSS' predecessor owned the data and Iron Mountain refuses to return it due to OSS' ownership of the infrastructure housing the data.
Pi uses compaction to summarize conversation history when context limit is reached, discarding older content while preserving recent work. Compaction can be manually triggered using /compact command or automatically after a turn ends with configurable token budget.
The author publishes blog posts that represent at least two things they've learned, forcing them to think critically and research topics thoroughly. This process helps clarify their thoughts and leads to more effective writing.
A 17-year-old database backup of the old 0.mk URL shortener was restored and crawled, revealing that only a small percentage of links still load. The majority of links point to non-existent pages or have been blocked by websites.
The J.V. Noble Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics at the University of Virginia has developed a method to construct deterministic and nondeterministic finite state automata in Forth, a high-level programming language. This approach allows for efficient implementation of complex programs using abstract finite state machines (FSMs).
Researchers studied how organizations use generative AI, specifically ChatGPT Enterprise, by linking account records to usage data from March 2026. The study found that ChatGPT Enterprise usage has grown rapidly among large and valuable firms with high R&D and SG&A expenses.
Using journald in write mode on an XFS file system, it writes to the hard drive but is inefficient and can corrupt during unclean reboots. This shows that iotop's accuracy issue may be due to kernel mechanisms rather than journald itself being slow.
The C89 standard's implicit function declaration feature causes GCC and Clang to disagree on its interpretation, leading to differing behavior in certain edge cases. The ambiguity arises from the phrase "innermost block" in the standard, which is unclear whether it refers to block scope or file scope.
Kurt Gödel's 1931 incompleteness theorems showed that any set of axioms is either incomplete or inconsistent, proving math cannot be a complete system. This discovery has far-reaching implications in mathematics and beyond.
People have made significant advancements in technology and daily life, including music on demand, electric light, art reproductions, vision correction, instant communication, clean running water and refrigeration.
The Cave of the Crystals, located in Naica, Mexico, is a chamber filled with giant selenite crystals that took 500,000 years to form. The cave's extreme heat and humidity make it difficult for humans to explore without proper protection.
Netlify has launched a partnership with OpenRouter, offering two new pieces of functionality: the AI Gateway and Agent Runners. Users can now choose from various open models for their projects, including Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, and DeepSeek V4.
The author is building a custom AI server using old computer parts, including four GPUs and an Intel Core i9 processor, to run the Deepseek V4 Flash model. They've overcome initial challenges with booting and fan control to get the system up and running with Ubuntu 24.04.
A tool called Bullet was created to speed up agent runs by eliminating unnecessary steps and parallelizing independent tasks, saving hours of waiting time. It is now used internally at the company that developed it, which aims to help others achieve similar results.
A device can discover an encrypted DNS resolver through a process called DDR, which involves sending a query to _dns.resolver.arpa and receiving the hostname, port, and protocol of available endpoints. The device then opens a connection to the preferred endpoint and encrypts all subsequent queries.
