The trial, funded by a $9 million state grant, aims to enroll 35 patients to evaluate long-term safety and improved movement.
Polynomial interpolation is a method of finding a polynomial function that fits a given set of data perfectly. More concretely, suppose we have a set of distinct points [1]: This post discusses a common approach to solving this problem, and also shows why such a polynomial exists and is unique. \[\begin{aligned} p(x_0)&=a_0 + a_1 x_0 + a_2 x_0^2 + \cdots a_n x_0^n = y_0\\ p(x_1)&=a_0 ...
Intel licensed the 8088 design to AMD and several other companies, but later refused to license the 80386 due to IBM's disinterest. AMD's Am386 clone was released in 1991 after a two-year development period and eight-year court battle with Intel.

OpenClaw surpassed React to become the most-starred non-aggregator software project on GitHub. It achieved this in under four months, overtaking React's long-held title.
The user reverse engineered Apple's Neural Engine, mapping the software stack from CoreML to the IOKit kernel driver and discovering direct access to the ANE without CoreML. They found the ANE is a graph execution engine with 16 cores, supports a queue depth of 127, and has a unique compilation path using MIL and E5 binaries.
The author reflects on the decline of casual conversations with strangers in public spaces due to social anxiety and overreliance on technology. They argue that this loss of human interaction is a significant issue affecting people of all ages.
You inherited a 300k lines of spaghetti code and need to refactor it. The Mikado Method helps by breaking down the task into smaller, manageable goals and subgoals, allowing you to make progress without getting stuck in the quicksand of the codebase.
User got rid of hundreds of thousands of lines of Objective-C code at Audible and now appreciates its simplicity. They're rewriting their blog generator, SalmonBay, in Objective-C for its elegance and stability.
Microsoft's Copilot Discord server blocks the term "Microslop" due to its negative connotation. Users found ways to bypass the filter, leading to restricted access and a containment mode in the server.
The user prefers making games without commercial game engines, finding it more fun and less overhead, and has developed a custom workflow using C# and open-source libraries like SDL and ImGui. They believe that making games "from scratch" is not an impossible task, especially with the state of open-source frameworks and libraries, and encourages others to try it if it sounds fun.
I’ve been running parallel coding agents with a lightweight setup for a few months now with tmux, Markdown files, bash aliases, and six slash commands. These are vanilla agents - no subagent profiles or orchestrators, but I do use a role naming convention per tmux window: Most actual code writing happens from a finished spec I call Feature Designs (FDs). An FD is just an md file that has: ...
Apple announced the new iPad Air with M4, offering a big jump in performance at the same starting price. The new iPad Air features a faster CPU and GPU, improved AI capabilities, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
Omni is a unified search platform connecting multiple apps with full-text and semantic search capabilities. It uses a single Postgres database and sandboxed containers for secure AI analysis.
git-memento records AI coding sessions as Git notes, allowing for auditing and amendment of commits. It supports multiple sessions and can sync notes with a remote repository.
The Jolla Phone is a new device honoring the 2013 original, with modern specs and European privacy thinking. It runs Sailfish OS, allowing native and Android apps, with no data harvesting or tracking.
The Mondrian Trust claims Piet Mondrian's 1930 painting is still protected citing dual copyrights and Spanish law. However, U.S. law and copyright experts confirm the painting entered the public domain on January 1, 2026.
I’ve been reading various things about fluid mechanics so that I can think about microfluidics. But I haven’t really been studying it like I used to study a math area (instead just kinda getting various impressions). I’d like to think it through a bit “from scratch”, though it’s very much not actually from scratch of course. This is written as close to real-time thinking as possible (though ...
The Web Audio API allows developers to create interactive node graphs and visualize audio signal chains in real-time. It provides templates for various audio techniques, including sine waves, FM synthesis, and spatialization.
Scientists at Flinders University created a biodegradable packaging film made from milk protein that breaks down in 13 weeks. The film is a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics, which contribute to global pollution and environmental harm.
Neocaml is a new Emacs package for OCaml programming that features TreeSitter-powered modes and integration with an OCaml toplevel. It provides features like font-locking, indentation, and comment commands, and can be used with Eglot and other packages for a more complete development experience.
The author of a Go library for durable workflows discusses the challenges of reconciling compile-time type safety with a single interface for workflow and step functions, and how they used Go's context.Context to achieve this. The library, durable.Context, exposes methods to invoke user functions as workflows or steps, leveraging Go context to propagate metadata and handle cancellation and deadlines.
The user is simulating a 286 processor using a Raspberry Pi and MCP23S17 IO expander. They successfully booted the processor and ran simple assembly code.
Elliptic curve cryptography uses a mathematical structure based on the geometry of curves to provide a one-way function for key exchange and digital signatures with much smaller keys than traditional RSA or Diffie-Hellman systems. The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) provide secure key agreement and signatures with ...
The author forgot how to watermark a document after two years of not doing it and wasted time relearning the process. They recommend documenting multi-step processes to avoid this issue.
