The author explores the security of RSA cryptography, noting that small keys can be factored on a modest desktop computer and some old root certificates are still vulnerable.
TALA, an auto-layout algorithm, is now open-source under the same license as D2. It offers a novel orthogonal layout engine with customizable node positions and sizes for various use cases.
Arm's Mali G2-Ultra NX GPU integrates neural accelerators and ray tracing for enhanced mobile graphics, enabling richer visuals and smoother gameplay. It supports neural techniques like NSS and NFRU, reducing workload while improving efficiency for developers.
Agents were given various instructions to test code, but most failed to use the techniques effectively. Default performed better than most conditions due to agents not doing useless work when not instructed.
Jellyfin 12.0 is a stable release with major features and improvements, including performance work, support for books and comics, and security fixes. The new version drops the major version from its naming scheme to reflect significant changes in the library database.
One box per building standing today, appearing in the year it was built. What was torn down along the way isn't here, so this is the surviving county, not the county as it was.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti and John Margolies documented the American roadside, with Margolies focusing on quirky buildings and signs. His archive of 11,710 photographs is now available online for free at the Library of Congress.
Broadcom has removed the public download of VMware's Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK), a crucial library for many migration tools, causing concern among customers and vendors. This move may hinder their exit from vSphere to other platforms.
WeatherNext 3 can predict all surface variables – including weather station targeted temperature and humidity at 5km resolution, and other surface variables like wind at 10km. This results in significantly more accurate forecasts – even in locations the model hasn’t encountered in training.
A trusting-trust attack can be performed on GNU strip, a build utility, by tampering with its binary seed in the NixOS Linux distribution. This allows for propagation of malicious code into subsequent builds and final standard environment.
This repository contains a reconstructed source code of the Stuxnet worm for educational and research purposes. It is not intended for malicious use and preserves the original logic while structuring the codebase for readability and analysis.
The author revisits the concept of random_page_cost, which they initially discussed two years ago, and shares new insights from analyzing rotational SATA drives. They conclude that random_page_cost is not a raw I/O cost but rather an approximation that compensates for caching effects and resource usage.
The Colorlight 5A-75B is a low-cost FPGA development board featuring an Lattice ECP5 FPGA, priced around $20-$25. It's a receiver card for LED displays and offers features like Gigabit Ethernet, SDRAM, and on-board peripherals.
Hunters wiped out thylacines, commonly known as Tasmanian tigers, in Australia nearly a century ago. But a myth about these shy, semi-nocturnal predators may have been behind the species’ extinction. Thylacines had a strong resemblance to wolves — so much so that they were given the species name cynocephalus, meaning “dog-head.” Along with the physical likeness came the assumption that the ...
It’s really hard to grasp that everything is free now! So why not have a floating orb as a screensaver in the middle of your IDE? In terms of this UI, it’s a custom IDE I made myself, with agents and terminals and everything. For the agents it’s especially neat that the composer works with my custom keybindings, just like my editors. Anyways, The left and right lanes are pretty static; the ...
Explore life across 11 scientific trees, comparing ancestry, traits, fossils, habitats, and sources.
A complex structure was shown in a six-sphere, raising questions about AI's role in math. A global competition will be held to solve open conjectures and build new theories using frontier models, with prizes awarded for promising results.
Bedrock version 2.0 is available for Emacs, requiring version 31, and offers improved defaults with sample configurations for popular packages. The new release includes incremental improvements over the previous version without breaking compatibility with older versions of Emacs.
Ladybird browser has improved with new features like video playback on Twitch, JavaScript debugging in DevTools, and downloads that can be paused and resumed. The engine performance has also been enhanced with a new style engine, layout caching, and CSS animations running off the main thread.
The author struggled with a proof exercise in Dummit and Foote's abstract algebra textbook, which claimed that a function is injective if and only if it has a left inverse. The author found this statement to be false after testing it with an empty set A and a singleton set B.
The Internet Archive aims to provide universal access to human knowledge, and its infrastructure relies on donations. Monthly gifts help maintain servers, ensuring books are readable and websites are accessible for future generations.
A user has successfully decoded the NEC V20 microcode, allowing for accurate emulation of the CPU. The decoding process involved analyzing die photography and using machine learning to identify bits in a 29,928-bit ROM array.
The author discusses the importance of simplicity in programming, contrasting it with coupling and complexity. They argue that small programs can be coupled, while simple ones are decoupled and easy to maintain.
