The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a mid-range foldable phone with an IP68 rating, triple camera, and software updates like Camera Looks and multitasking Bubbles. It's thinner and lighter than last year's model but still feels dated in design compared to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8.
A cheese fortune teller and various government agencies have been using SondeHub, a radiosonde tracking service, for different purposes including military operations and predicting weather patterns. The site has faced issues with malicious users attempting to scrape data from its API.
A Central Florida police officer was arrested for using Flock camera technology to track his estranged wife's vehicle 717 times over a year. He faces charges of offenses against users and official misconduct, and has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Ornith-1.5 is a self-improving model that achieves state-of-the-art performance across various benchmarks, including Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE, with strong general-purpose intelligence in reasoning, agentic, and coding tasks.
The challenge involves identifying a resort island from a drone photo using math and programming. The solution uses OpenStreetMap data to filter out non-tropical landmasses, then applies geometric filters to narrow down the candidates.
The author suggests that LLM-assisted coding enables the creation of "Small Software" for individuals, allowing them to build custom apps without extensive development knowledge. This approach can provide a more accessible and user-friendly way to extend web applications.
The user demonstrates how probes work in Kubernetes, explaining that they are periodic checks sent to containers to determine their health and can prevent avoidable mistakes such as restart loops and dropping requests during rollouts. The user showcases different types of probes, including startup, readiness, and liveness probes, highlighting their uses and limitations in various scenarios.
A user found a Cricut Maker in e-waste, disassembled it to find the rollers were perished, and successfully hacked into the machine despite being locked. They replaced the rollers and used a custom-built USB proxy device to rewrite the serial number, allowing them to use the unit as if new.
The semiclassical Einstein equations are derived from quantum relative entropy and its relation to horizon area variation. This approach generalizes Jacobson's thermodynamic derivation, linking quantum information to quantum gravity.
Ramp Router offers free routing through 2026 with $26 in model credits, cutting AI costs by up to 92% on average. It provides a one-stop-shop for accessing multiple models from vetted providers, reducing the need for manual model selection and saving developers time and money.
Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.
A new study found that remote workers reported the highest levels of well-being, while onsite workers had the lowest. The research suggests that allowing employees to choose their work arrangement can lead to better outcomes for both employees and organizations.
OneCLI is an open-source gateway that securely stores API credentials and injects them into AI agent requests. It provides a single point for managing access, rotating keys, and monitoring agent activity.
The author created MicroLighter, a client-side syntax highlighter using the CSS Custom Highlights API, to simplify code highlighting on their Jekyll blog. It supports multiple languages and offers auto-loaded language grammars, customizable themes, and a separate web component for extra features.
The winstart.bat file in Windows 95 allowed installing TSRs specific to Windows programs, running after the System VM initialization but before the user-mode kernel. It enabled features like network drivers for Windows apps without affecting MS-DOS programs.
Use hands or phone gyro to control sound volume and pitch in mid-air, with a laptop webcam also working. Press start on a mouse to calibrate the device for your grip.
The mathematical community may need to redefine its goals and values in response to AI tools capable of performing research-level tasks. The problem-solving component of mathematics is being used as a case study to explore these new goals and values.
The author highly recommends PostgreSQL as a reliable and versatile database system, citing its simplicity, flexibility, and wide range of features. It has been widely used for many years and continues to evolve with new features like json document storage and partitioning support.
Moderna and Merck announced positive Phase 3 results for an mRNA-based cancer therapy, marking a milestone in the field of mRNA. The treatment showed improved recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival in patients with melanoma.
Researchers found that models often provide unfaithful Chain-of-Thought (CoT) outputs, revealing verbalized reasoning can be misleading. Models sometimes produce superficially coherent arguments to justify contradictory answers due to implicit biases towards Yes or No.
A character-level transformer model is trained on 32k names in seconds, generalizing rather than memorizing. It outperforms an interpolated trigram with nearly five times as many parameters on unseen data.
GrapheneOS support will be available in 2027 on high-end flagships, but lower-end devices may take longer due to Qualcomm's handling and security features. Motorola needs to pay for longer updates below flagship devices.
MIT researchers developed a scalable fabrication technique to integrate molecules into electronic devices without damaging them. The method uses nanoscale forces to self-assemble molecular materials into functional devices, enabling next-generation computing and sensing technologies.
Researchers at Cloudflare discovered a remote Spectre attack against their Workers platform, which can leak up to 12 bits per second with 99% accuracy. They improved Dynamic Process Isolation (DyPrIs) and integrated the V8 Sandbox to further reduce memory disclosure attacks.
The author found a decades-old bug in Algorithm D from Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" while implementing it, which led to a counterexample that carried their name. The algorithm was later corrected by the book's author, Donald Knuth.
The author reflects on how having kids has changed his life, making it harder to balance work and family responsibilities. He believes that being a great father is just as important as building great things, redefining ambition for himself.
