LWN is increasing subscription prices by 20% due to rising costs and inflation, effective September 15. The price increase will help maintain the site's independence from advertising and support its continued growth.
Two web-grounded models were asked to provide recommendations in 380 software categories, with 7,534 citations retrieved from their URLs. The majority of these citations point at domains ranked lower than #100,000 or not in the top million.
We have good news about the Pixel 11. It still has at least bare minimum support for MTE at a hardware level. We think they removed most of the hardware acceleration from the CPU cache to save money. They ruined the performance so it ended up being fully disabled in firmware. It may still be usable.
Users can opt out of Mistral's model training programs at any time, with Vibe users opting in by default and Enterprise customers opted out by default. Users can disable the toggle to prevent data sharing for both Vibe and API services.
A mathematician discusses Bridson's algorithm for generating Poisson disk distributions, which efficiently places points in a grid with a minimum distance between them. The algorithm has been improved upon by adding parental optimization and changing the distribution of distances to generate more random configurations.
The author reflects on the "Cave" of private training and how it can lead to a false sense of progress, while missing out on real-world competition and growth. They share their personal experience as a wrestler, where they learned that true victory comes from embracing challenges and risks in public, rather than hiding in solitude.
The Commodore 64, launched in September 1982, was the best-selling computer of all time with over 12 million units sold. It had a significant impact on its users' lives and careers, including the author's own experience with programming and IT.
WebLLM is a high-performance in-browser LLM inference engine that leverages WebGPU for hardware acceleration, enabling powerful LLM operations directly within web browsers. It supports OpenAI API and various models, including custom models in MLC format.
Older adults' brains may blend memories together, causing mix-up errors, rather than simply losing memory accuracy. This blending effect is linked to stronger similarity in brain patterns between learning and recall phases.
A Selection of Los Alamos Rolodex Business Cards
The Nederlandsche Bank has moved 86 tons of gold from US and Canada to London, increasing its share in the city. This move aims to improve crisis readiness by spreading risk and making Dutch gold more marketable.
This tool checks files for signs of Claude's involvement in creating or editing them, providing a C2PA content credential to verify its origin. A result indicates whether the content was processed by Claude, without revealing its substance or authenticity.
Perplexity's search models failed to verify 34.7% of citations, with 14.4% failing due to claims not being scored per citation rather than per claim. The models cited a significant number of gated URLs that could not be verified by readers without an account.
ArtificialAnalysis benchmarks LLM models' intelligence and costs, providing a useful Intelligence Index and cost comparison plots. The plots show diminishing returns on performance as cost increases, with cheaper models often sufficient for most users' needs.
The author started a blog 3.5 years ago to share Elixir experiments and optics knowledge, which helped them attend conferences and meet friends. They now question the value of human creativity in programming communities dominated by LLMs.
Modern AI systems excel in domains they seem poorly suited for, despite being based on continuous vector representations. Researchers propose that these vectors implicitly realize symbolic structure, allowing them to achieve impressive performance in cognitive domains.

Tellie is building AI to run customer-facing operations with agents that act, understand, and improve. The company prioritizes ownership, shared responsibility, conviction over compromise and agency over complacency in a merit-driven environment.
The user found a useful jq alias to format JSON in the clipboard, but needed to add error handling for non-JSON text. They created an updated alias with error handling using xclip and jq commands.
Feature flags can be overhyped and introduce unnecessary complexity, security risks, and technical debt. Hardcoding feature flags in a simple JSON file is often the best approach, providing reliability and safety without the added overhead of management software.
The internet infrastructure is a network of fibre-optic cables laid across the ocean floor, owned by various companies including Google and Meta. These cables carry data between continents and are often buried beneath the seabed to protect them from damage.
The author advises using std::move rarely, citing return value optimization (RVO) and copy elision as the preferred methods to avoid unnecessary copies and moves. With C++23, implicit move is now supported in both cases where it was previously required or not possible.
Quasar 438B is a flagship reasoning model that scores 43 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, outperforming other European models. It returns 500 tokens in 15.3 seconds and supports multi-step tasks with planning, tool use, code execution, and large context.
Humanoid robots are making progress, but experts say there's still a long road ahead before they can be used in real-world applications. Despite impressive demos, robots struggle with tasks like manipulation and generalization.
The user discusses the high speed of a car's crankshaft, comparing it to display frame rates and suggesting that capturing its motion at 150fps would reveal its true movement. The post also mentions Oh Dear, a monitoring platform for tracking system uptime and issues.
The author is building a custom text editor, initially considering using a canvas but ultimately deciding to use native browser features instead for better accessibility and performance. They're exploring different approaches, including contenteditable and textarea elements, to achieve their goals.
This article discusses designing integration events to share business facts between bounded contexts without exposing internal models. It highlights challenges like message duplication and delivery order, and solutions such as transactional outboxes and idempotency keys.
This project provides tools and information for battery repair, aiming to reduce waste by identifying faulty BMSes. A new web-based UI replaces the old desktop application, allowing users to flash firmware directly from their browser without needing Python or a toolchain.
