This repository provides FP8-quantized model weights and configuration files for the post-trained Qwen3.8-27B model, offering managed inference without infrastructure maintenance through the Qwen Cloud service. The model supports various tasks, including vision-language understanding, agent execution, and long-horizon agentic tasks.
The author is concerned that AI advancements will make software too secure, potentially rendering US intelligence and law enforcement agencies unable to access encrypted data. This could lead to a "dark" era for these agencies, as they struggle to find vulnerabilities in highly secured systems.
A U.S. government database falsely linked the author to a non-existent entity on the Entity List due to a fabricated employee. The author's attempts to resolve the issue were ignored, unlike similar cases with other companies.
The A+ trackball design has been improved with new features, including two knobs for high-resolution scrolling and a detachable wrist rest. It will be available for preorder on August 19th at $99CAD, building upon the successful original Adept design.
The author describes a method to make SSH servers more secure by using Single Packet Authorization (SPA) with fwknop, which authenticates clients before opening the port. This approach prevents zero-day attacks and reduces exposure to the internet.
Google's HEIR compiler toolchain enables secure private AI inference using homomorphic encryption, balancing privacy and security. The open-source tool converts pre-trained models to operate on encrypted inputs, making it a one-click solution for non-experts.
Eigendrum is a software that solves the eigenvalue problem for drum shapes, allowing users to create and analyze different drum sounds. It uses numerical methods to find the smallest eigenvalues of a stiffness and mass matrix, producing accurate results even for complex shapes.
Deltix runs a task on an iOS simulator to test if a real user can complete it, providing feedback in seconds. The agent navigates the app like a first-time user, capturing every step and saving successful paths as deterministic playbooks for future testing.
First-year calculus can be simplified by streamlining multiple processes into fewer concepts, increasing flexibility and capability for students. arXivLabs is a framework that allows collaborators to develop new features while maintaining openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy values.
RustDesk now offers unattended access on Wayland without approval, supporting multi-monitor setups. A preview build is available for x86_64 Debian/Ubuntu-based systems to test and provide feedback.
Every personal finance argument, settled with data. Assumptions on screen, code public. If you think one of the assumptions is wrong, change it and re-run it. That is what this repository is for. Most finance content asks you to trust the person saying it. This channel is anonymous, so that is not on offer. What is on offer instead is that every number in every video can be reproduced from ...
Firefox supports uBlock Origin despite Microsoft Edge's Manifest V3 transition, which may block ad-blocking extensions. This makes Firefox the only major browser without compromises for die-hard uBlock Origin fans.

Math, Algorithms, Architectures, by hand. Click to read AI by Hand ✍️, by Prof. Tom Yeh, a Substack publication with tens of thousands of subscribers.
A German engineer, Fritz Pfleumer, developed the Magnetophon reel-to-reel magnetic tape recorder in 1928. The device was later improved and introduced at the 1935 Berlin Radio Show by AEG, where it became a powerful tool for both political messaging and military strategy under Adolf Hitler's regime.
The author explores the lazy nature of Nix language and its application to Super Mario Bros. 3, where attribute paths are used as sequences of button presses. This allows for a derivation-based approach to recreating game states without emulation.
The author discovered a pocket-sized e-reader called the X4, which they customized with open source firmware Crosspoint to improve reading experience. They created their own "newspaper" using an app called Feedpaper, allowing them to read personal blogs on the device.
Toast 1, a specialized search agent, offers frontier search quality at up to 10x cheaper and 12x faster than existing models. It can be used as a standalone model or as a subagent with other models.
Claude Code provides tips to optimize token usage and session efficiency, including setting models and effort levels before starting, using /context to view loaded context, compacting conversations when taking breaks.
Birds see colors that humans can't, including ultraviolet light, which affects their plumage and behavior. This hidden dimension of color helps birds recognize species and navigate their environment.
Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, developed the first arithmetical machine in 1641 and later shifted to religious studies. Niklaus Wirth created the original Pascal programming language in 1970 based on Algol's block structured style.
The author believes Opus 5 is a capable model but feels like a downgrade due to its tendency to make bold assumptions in the face of ambiguity, prioritizing benchmark performance over nuanced understanding. This approach may not be suitable for real-life applications where agents need to ask questions and seek clarification.
Ember is a color palette generator that creates terminal themes and UI elements usable under various warm-screen filtering conditions. It produces distinctive colors across different color temperatures, from 3400K to 1200K, with varying capacities for categorical identities and contrast.
Racket's teaching languages and package manager have been updated, offering more flexibility and control. The project welcomes new contributors to its community-developed open-source initiative.
A deep research agent with a budget and verified quotes analyzes data, checks claims against sources, and writes answers with citations. It runs as a single binary on your machine, using your API keys and speaking MCP for coding agents to drive it.
The author has a collection of books on their shelf, including Roget's Thesaurus, Sir Thomas Browne's works and the Decameron. They reflect on how these books inspire and inform their writing.
Researchers established new bounds for the Grothendieck constant $K_G$, finding it to be at least $\frac{6\pi}{11}$ and at most $\frac{\pi}{2\log(1+\sqrt2)} - 10^{-4}$. This discovery was made through a collaborative effort between humans and an AI system.
