Personal digital assistants (PDAs) gained internet access in the 90s, with early browsers like PocketWeb and Palmscape supporting limited web standards. As technology improved, full-fledged browsers like Opera, NetFront, and Firefox were developed for PDAs, but the rise of smartphones eventually led to the decline of the PDA market.
The US government has banned Anthropic's AI model Mythos due to concerns it could be accessed by a South Korean telecom with suspected ties to China and a potential "jailbreak" by Amazon researchers.

The 3-30-300 test measures a city's tree cover by ensuring every home has a view of at least three trees, 30% tree cover in the neighbourhood, and a park within 300 meters. The test is simple but hard to achieve, with only 14% of Europeans living in areas meeting all three criteria and most cities failing to meet the 30% tree cover requirement.
The author implemented a simple VM in C to compare the performance of a switch statement and a computed goto. The computed goto version is 25% faster due to reduced branch prediction overhead.
Major AI labs are skeptical of endless parameter count and training data scaling due to limitations and hallucination issues in large models. Smaller models like GLM-5.2 are showing comparable performance to much larger models like GPT-5.5 and Fable 5, indicating actual intelligence has plateaued.
