A supply chain attack compromised the PyPI package 'lightning' versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, stealing credentials and attempting to poison GitHub repositories. The attack is linked to the 'mini Shai-Hulud' campaign and affects teams using lightning in their dependency tree.
Belgium will nationalize its nuclear power plants, reversing a 2003 decision to phase out nuclear energy by 2025. The government aims to build new nuclear plants and reduce dependence on fossil imports.
A software engineer built a working Game Boy emulator, Fame Boy, in F# after learning about computer hardware by emulating a Game Boy and using AI to write unit tests. The emulator's development involved optimizing performance, fixing issues with the PPU and APU, and learning about functional programming and domain-driven development.

Oil refineries process crude oil into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel using distillation, cracking, and other processes. The refining process is complex and requires large industrial facilities to handle the massive volume of crude oil consumed worldwide.
CVE-2026-31431 is a Linux kernel vulnerability introduced in 2017, affecting multiple kernel versions. A workaround patch has been attached to disable the affected module.
honker adds durable pub/sub and task queue to SQLite without client polling or daemon. It uses SQLite's PRAGMA data_version for wake signals, with ~0.7 ms latency and ~3 µs read time.
The SIMD Quad algorithm is a new search algorithm that combines quaternary interpolation search with SIMD instructions to efficiently locate a target value in a sorted array of 16-bit unsigned integers. It outperforms binary search on both Intel and Apple platforms, with significant speedup on large arrays in cold cache scenarios.
Congress is preparing to take measures against LaLiga's fight against piracy causing web page blockages. A non-legislative initiative was approved to reform the Digital Services Act and prevent indiscriminate blocking of IPs by judicial rulings.
We monitor 27 government auction sources with 75,070 listings, scoring auctions for price, bid velocity, and time left. Daily emails highlight top-scored auctions with direct links to original listings.
A web game called Satoshi Guesser generates random 256-bit numbers to find Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin private keys. The odds are extremely low, but the game uses real cryptography to verify the results.

The user upgraded their home network to 10Gb/s Ethernet, starting with their study and then expanding to the rest of the house, using a combination of 10Gb/s switches, SFP+ modules, and DAC cables. They encountered some thermal issues with the switches and SFP+ modules, but were able to mitigate them and achieve speeds of up to 9Gb/s, with plans to potentially upgrade to 40Gb/s or higher in ...
Burla library runs parallel processing across a cluster with shared filesystem for data teams. It scales up to 1.7K CPU workers and 20 A100 GPUs for tasks like photo download and CLIP scoring.
Zig has a strict anti-LLM policy to prioritize contributor growth over code quality. Maintainers review contributors, not just their code, to foster trust and future contributions.
A few-files, all-in-one C engine for Transformer AI models: inference, training, tokenizer creation, chat, and vision. Built from scratch over 18 months (from March 2024 to August 2025) during my lunch breaks and weekend nights, TRiP exists just because I wanted to truly understand the transformer internals - from the matrix multiplications up. TRiP's purpose is purely educational, for me ...

IBM released Granite 4.1, a family of open source language models for enterprise use, trained on 15 trillion tokens. The 8B model, with a dense architecture, matches or beats the 32B Granite 4.0-H-Small across various benchmarks.
Kured (KUbernetes REboot Daemon) is a Kubernetes daemonset that performs safe automatic node reboots when the need to do so is indicated by the package management system of the underlying OS. Watches for the presence of a reboot sentinel file e.g. /var/run/reboot-required or the successful run of a sentinel command. Utilises a lock in the API server to ensure only one node reboots at a time ...
OpenAI's models started mentioning creatures like goblins and gremlins in their metaphors due to a subtle incentive from training for the personality customization feature, specifically the Nerdy personality. The behavior was amplified through transfer from Nerdy personality training and later spread to other contexts, requiring OpenAI to retire the Nerdy personality and implement new tools ...
Honey's unique combination of low moisture, acidity, and hydrogen peroxide makes it resistant to spoilage. Its shelf life is also extended by bees' natural drying process and the enzyme glucose oxidase in their stomachs.
Bézier curves are used in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications, graphic design, and scalable vector graphics (SVG). They are defined by linear interpolations between control points, forming a curve that never extends beyond the points used to construct it.
The author built a desk clock, O-1, that disciplined its system clock against GPS, but it had a flaw: it relied on GPS signals. To improve it, the author built O-2, which uses a chip-scale atomic clock for better stability.
J. Craig Venter, founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute, died in San Diego after a brief hospitalization for cancer treatment complications. He was a visionary leader in genomics and synthetic biology who drove scientific change and advocated for robust federal funding.
Doron Zeilberger, a mathematician, believes that infinity is not a necessary concept in mathematics and that numbers have boundaries. He advocates for ultrafinitism, a philosophy that rejects infinity and extremely large numbers.
The internet stack's lower layers don't guarantee delivery, allowing simpler protocols like TCP to restart communication when it fails. Machine learning models can also make probabilistic guesses to solve complex problems, allowing for flexibility and better performance.
GCC 16 has several improvements including conformance with C99 standard, removal of json diagnostics format, and support for OpenMP 5.0 and 6.0.
RightsCon conference in Zambia has been canceled due to government postponement. The decision was made after Zambia's government cited need for more time to ensure the conference aligns with national procedures and diplomatic protocols.
