Pandoc templates for PDF, LaTeX, HTML and Word. Easily convert documents with customizable templates for reports, articles, and more.
The Zig project has made several improvements including faster build times, incremental compilation, and better type resolution. These changes aim to make the development experience more efficient and user-friendly, with features like faster error messages and improved dependency management.
The Trump administration's new rules for grant funding would give political appointees final say over scientific research, allowing them to cancel grants at any time and ban funding for certain topics like DEI and gender ideology. The rules would also limit international collaborations and restrict scientists' ability to publish and attend conferences.
Plug-in solar panels will be available in the UK soon, allowing you to generate electricity without installation fees or planning permission. Enter your postcode and details to estimate energy generation and potential savings.
The Pope's encyclical warns against unregulated AI development and outdated concepts like "just war". He also calls for fact-checked journalism, multilateral diplomacy, and apologizes for the papacy's past slavery condemnation.
The user agrees with DBOS that a separate orchestration tier is not necessary for durable execution, as workflow state can be kept in a local database like SQLite. A local SQLite database with Litestream backup to S3 is a simple and cost-effective way to achieve durability for many AI and experimentation workflows.

Your code is mapped to real business domains, processes, and flows in an interactive story. It transforms into authentication flows, payment pipelines, and user lifecycles with hierarchical drill-down and search features.
The user discussed the behavior of floating-point numbers and their functions like floor, ceil, trunc, and round in C, C++, HLSL, and GLSL, noting differences in rounding rules and denormal handling. The user also provided a custom HLSL implementation of floor and ceil functions that preserves denormals and behaves consistently across CPUs and GPUs.
I attended the AI Now Summit by Mistral AI in Paris, learning about their full-stack AI approach, including compute, models, platforms, and consultancy. Mistral focuses on efficient, open, and custom models for European companies, emphasizing partnerships and on-prem deployment for sovereignty and return on investment.
A C implementation of Snowboard Kids 2's functions has been completed, allowing for a readable and modifiable codebase. The project's success is attributed to the N64 decompilation community and coding agents, particularly Codex 5.5 xhigh.
While wave upon wave of smartglasses and face-based wearables crash on the shores of CES, traditional glasses really haven't changed much over the hundreds of years we've been using them. The last innovation, arguably, was progressive multifocals that blended near and farsighted lenses — and that was back in the 1950s. It makes sense that autofocusing glasses maker IXI thinks it's ...
Prusa developed a color mixing model called Prusa ColorMix to enable printing with dozens of colors on multi-material printers. The model is now integrated into PrusaSlicer and EasyPrint, allowing users to easily mix colors and predict the final result.

The author argues that MCP consumes too much context and is slower than CLI approaches, but it's still useful for services without a strong CLI. They recommend using Skills to wrap existing CLIs for repeatable workflows and reserving MCP for services with no CLI or team-wide auth needs.
Your nephew is choosing between a MacBook Neo and a Framework 12 laptop. The MacBook Neo offers better performance, display, and build quality at a lower price, making it the better value.
The AI industry's focus on labor replacement threatens to eliminate human jobs, leading to economic instability and social unrest. The industry's prioritization of profit over people and lack of accountability may undermine democratic governance and exacerbate inequality.
The traditional technical interview process is broken and has been for decades, with a high rate of false positives and negatives, and is being replaced by a more effective approach of provisional employment and real work assessments. The author proposes a "campfire" model where candidates contribute real work to a company and receive a permanent, portable record of their accomplishments, ...
Shift offers free home cleaning in exchange for footage to train robots, with a "magic hat" recording cleaners. The service is initially available in New York, with plans to expand to other cities.

This system has been merged into OpenBSD base. If you'd like to contribute to openrsync, please mail your patches to [email protected]. This repository is simply the OpenBSD version plus some glue for portability. This is an implementation of rsync with a BSD (ISC) license. It's compatible with a modern rsync (3.1.3 is used for testing, but any supporting protocol 27 will do), but ...
We implemented a linear scan register allocator in ZJIT based on Christian Wimmer's paper. The allocator uses SSA form to track variable lifetimes and interference graphs to determine register allocation.
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-8B-A1B, an edge model for fast tool calling on consumer hardware. It expands context window, doubles vocabulary, and achieves tasks on entry-level laptops.
The introduction of AI and automation in programming is deskilling the profession, making it easier for businesses to hire generalists and reducing the bargaining power of workers, similar to how frameworks deskilled frontend development in the past. While AI can increase efficiency and productivity, it also risks producing lower quality work and requires developers to understand how to use ...
Leontien Talboom led a project called "Future Nostalgia" to preserve floppy disks at Cambridge University Libraries and Archives. The disks are degrading due to physical deterioration and loss of knowledge about the disks themselves.
The "mediocre man" theory of history suggests that ordinary individuals can shape history as much as great men or mass forces. Kaiser Wilhelm II's character and rule illustrate this theory, as his influence on German politics and world events was significant despite his lack of greatness.
Calbee is switching to black-and-white packaging due to naphtha shortages caused by the Iran war. The shortage affects various industries, including food, manufacturing, and medical sectors.
bijou64 is a variable-length integer encoding that ensures canonicality, preventing multiple ways to represent a number, and runs faster than LEB128 in benchmarks. It uses a tag-based system and bit shuffling to achieve this, making it structurally safer and faster for certain use cases.
MacSurf is a web browser for Classic Mac OS 9, running native CSS3, ES5 JavaScript, and HTTPS on PowerPC hardware. It's an ongoing project with regular updates and bug fixes, aiming to revive the web on old Macs.
We are building a high-performance LLM inference engine with C++ and CUDA, focusing on loading and running a pre-trained LLM model, specifically Llama 3.2 1B Instruct, and understanding the basics of floating-point numbers and their representation in binary format.
