The balance of software copyright protection and openness has been disrupted by AI, threatening the foundational openness that enabled the modern internet. The author argues that this shift will lead to a digital dark age, where authors and creators lose control over their work and are exploited for their labor.

The given RSA keys are 896 bits long, with modulus RSA-896 and prime numbers p and q. The values of p and q are provided for decryption purposes.
A user built a machine learning model to predict the winner of Survivor based on episode-by-episode analysis, using logistic regression and various features such as player age, confessional share, and immunity win rate. The model's predictions were found to be roughly 2x better than chance at picking the eventual winner.
Researchers tested AI models' performance in Starcraft games, finding that Codex excelled at disruption but struggled with sustained production. The agents showed varying levels of improvement as they learned and adapted to the game environment.
This text introduces the Discrete Fourier Transform using interactive visualizations and animations to explain a complex concept in digital signal processing. The author emphasizes that this is not a rigorous resource, but rather a simplified introduction to engage readers visually.
The author learned to write shell scripts by gradually mastering the syntax and tools, eventually gaining the ability to stitch together existing programs. They argue that knowing a shell is 20% syntax and 80% having a good toolbox of related commands.
Measure the speed and performance of your network with the NDT test, developed in collaboration with M-Lab. Test WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram to check if they are blocked. Run OONI Probe to check if circumvention tools work on your network.
Microsoft's GitHub Copilot software engine is now written entirely in Rust, with AI agents doing most of the porting work, resulting in a 15.9x speedup and significant memory reduction. The project used multiple LLMs to execute different parts of the job and highlighted challenges with understanding Rust semantics.
Spain's Intellectual Property Commission blocked several domains of Archive.today, a web archiving service, due to copyright concerns. Users are redirected to a government page accusing them of accessing an "illegal" website and potentially contributing to criminal activity.
Researchers at the Obi-Rakhmat rock shelter in Uzbekistan have found evidence of projectile points, including small micropoints, dating back around 80,000 years. These findings suggest that early humans may have used these lightweight sharp armatures as arrowheads or spear tips.
Mauricio Molano, a 47-year radio veteran, successfully received transatlantic FM signals from North America using software-defined radios. He logged four U.S. stations across North and South Carolina via sporadic-E propagation in July 2026.
A user tests ChatGPT's ability to create posters in various styles, finding that the AI can produce unique designs but may still feel repetitive or familiar. The user discovers a range of design styles and prompts ChatGPT to generate posters in each style, resulting in distinctive and varied results.
The Lemmings franchise, created by DMA Design in the early 1990s, experienced a brief period of success before declining due to poor sequels and changes in market expectations. The series' momentum was squandered with games like Lemmings 2: The Tribes and Lemmings 3D, which failed to live up to the original's charm.
All chess set designs at a glance. A visual grid of 30+ chess sets spanning 1,300 years of design history.
The author developed a non-autoregressive decision model called Laya, which provides lightning-fast probability predictions over structured schemas and is 6-8 times faster than TypeSafe AI's Jev. Laya uses reinforcement learning to guide schema-based decisions and has been open-sourced with zero API subscription costs.
Cube is a JavaScript animation library with no dials. rise, leave, morph and reveal each ship with the duration, curve and stagger chosen for that job. Web Animations API underneath, zero dependencies. Exit. Opacity and a 12px drop, held until you remove the node. Half the entrance. State change. Text keeps shared leading letters and blurs the rest in and out. Icons crossfade as whole faces. ...
UTF-8000 is a variable-width encoding scheme that extends UTF-8, allowing for arbitrarily large code units and self-synchronization at the byte level. It uses a prefix-free code binary tree to encode content bits, which are used to store the length of the code unit in bytes.
Grant Sanderson proposes elevating the status of "motivated explanations" in mathematics, which involve explaining mathematical concepts and ideas in a clear and relatable way. He suggests giving academic credit to these types of explanations similar to what is given for generating new proofs.
Deep fake images can be detected using camera attestation tools that verify an image's origin from a physical camera. The new tool, zkjpeg, integrates zero-knowledge proof into JPEG compression to detect and prevent image transformations.
The author, a Rust developer, spent 7 years working on open-source projects and is now exploring Zig as a candidate C successor. They reimplemented JSONPath in Zig to compare its features with the Rust version.
Mold's linker benchmarks have shown Wild to be substantially slower than Mold, with differences attributed to output file configuration and filesystem usage. The performance gap has narrowed since Mold's recent updates, but a 16-core machine still shows significant differences between the two linkers.
A writer shares two rules to use Large Language Models (LLMs) effectively, avoiding "LLM-creep" that can make writing sound unnatural. By using LLMs as a copyeditor rather than a ghostwriter and following these rules, writers can improve their work without losing their unique voice.
