Meta is defending itself against a class-action lawsuit by arguing that using pirated books to train its LLM qualifies as fair use, and that uploading pirated books to other users via BitTorrent is also fair use due to the protocol's inherent nature. The company claims that its use of BitTorrent was necessary to obtain the valuable data, and that the authors' own admissions undermine their ...
The author discusses the limitations of using Large Language Models (LLMs) in coding, citing two case studies where LLM-generated code failed to meet performance expectations due to a lack of understanding of the underlying system. The author argues that LLMs can produce plausible but incorrect code, and that developers should define specific acceptance criteria to ensure correctness, rather ...
The Scroll Lock key was originally added to fix spreadsheet scrolling issues before mice and fast graphics cards. Its modern equivalent in some apps feels strange and claustrophobic to the author.
Moongate v2 is a modern Ultima Online server project built with .NET 10, aiming for a clean, modular architecture with strong packet tooling and deterministic game-loop processing.

The user wanted to rename a method in a Jujutsu change without relying on LSP, and found a workaround using jj diffedit and a custom external tool. They created a shell script to generate a patch file and edit it with an external editor, which they registered with Jujutsu for future use.
User is trying to implement optimal map-reduce solution for vector search on 3 billion vectors and 1k query vectors, but faces memory issues and slow performance. Requirements are unclear, including vector format, compression, and machine specs, making it difficult to achieve a scalable solution.
My children are hopelessly addicted to their gaming devices. This is a problem, but not one that I can directly solve because the school mandates that they have both an Android smartphone and a Windows laptop. Rather than to meet the problem head on I figured the better way to address it is to replace consumption with creation. But creating anything at all on a smartphone or a laptop, where ...
The user discusses the Linux kernel's swapping subsystem and proposes improvements to the zswap and zram mechanisms, including the idea of making tmpfs zswappable. They also suggest that the kernel's swapping subsystem could be simplified by unifying zram and tmpfs, and that the current implementation of zswap has limitations that could be addressed by allowing it to allocate space on the ...
The author, an application programmer, tried building an Operating System in 1,000 Lines and encountered difficulties due to their lack of experience with low-level programming. They struggled with debugging assembler-level bugs and had to adjust their mindset to understand the direct manipulation of memory and registers.

Experience the engineering behind today’s leading health wearables including Oura Ring, Dexcom G7, Omnipod, and Jabra Hearing Aids. Industrial CT scans reveal how these devices merge medical precision with consumer design.
The Go context package's cause APIs, introduced in Go 1.20, allow developers to track the reason behind a context cancellation, enabling better error handling and logging. However, there are subtleties to consider when using WithTimeoutCause, such as defer cancel() discarding the cause on the normal return path, and the need for a stacked approach to support downstream code relying on ...
Inventors and scientists like Hermann Oberth, Johannes Winkler, and Alfred Nobel created machines and technologies that could be used for war, but some, like Nobel, hoped to use them to prevent war. Others, like Leo Szilárd and Mikhail Kalashnikov, grappled with the moral implications of their creations and the devastating consequences of war.
Sam and Michael from Palus Finance are building a treasury management platform for startups to earn higher yields with a high-yield bond portfolio. Their platform targets 4.5-5% returns vs 3.5% from money market funds with a flat 0.25% annual fee.
- 18 min read - Text Only This was the first year FurSquared used Zebra printers for registration — specifically the ZD420C model. Previously, going back to before I started to staff, FurSquared used the HID DTC1250e printer for on demand full-color badges. At my direction, the convention pivoted away from these printers and the results met my expectations. Most furries want to be represented ...
Scientists created Antscan, a 3D atlas of ant morphology with high-resolution images of 792 species. The dataset is now freely available online, allowing anyone to explore and analyze ant anatomy digitally.
AI models like Claude can now identify high-severity vulnerabilities in complex software at accelerated speeds. A collaboration with Mozilla using Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 vulnerabilities, 14 of which were high-severity, in Firefox.
