A 23-year-old man named Liam Price used ChatGPT Pro to solve a 60-year-old math problem left by Paul Erdos. The AI's solution, which was posted online, appears to be original and may have broader applications in mathematics.
A USB cheat sheet was created to clarify USB terms and save time. It covers USB versions, lane striping and bonding, and wire configurations for different USB speeds.
Flickr remains a unique online community for photography enthusiasts, offering robust features and a sanctuary from algorithm-driven content. Its Pro subscription provides benefits like unlimited storage, ad-free galleries, and exclusive savings, justifying the cost for many users.
OpenAI releases Privacy Filter, a small model for detecting and redacting PII in text, designed for high-throughput privacy workflows and context-aware detection. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on the PII-Masking-300k benchmark and can be fine-tuned for different data distributions and privacy policies.
The Free Universal Construction Kit is a set of adapters that allows children's construction toys to work together, promoting creative play and hybrid designs. The Kit is a grassroots remedy for proprietary toy systems, available for free download and 3D printing.
User is recreating Hokusai's 36 views of Mount Fuji as 1-bit pixel art on old Macintosh computers for nostalgia and flow state. They use Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 on Quadra 700 or PowerBook 100 to create authentic 512x342 pixel images.
The user tested Claude Code with a personal project, a shim between YouTube Music and OpenSubsonic API, and found it helpful in implementing the project from scratch. The user was able to get a working service in a short evening, but still has concerns about relying too much on AI coding assist and losing skills.
made by emily 💚 A mahjong set has 136 tiles: 34 unique designs, four of each. Three suits run 1–9 (Characters, Bamboo, Dots), plus the honor tiles — four Winds and three Dragons. Hover or tap any tile to learn its name. Numbered 1–9. Sticks of bamboo. The 1-bamboo is traditionally drawn as a bird. Three dragons — Red (中), Green (發), White (板). Honor tiles. A winning hand is 4 sets + 1 pair — ...
I recently started using a folding bike, a Brompton, which has greatly improved my commuting experience. It's convenient, durable, and cost-effective, paying for itself in just 28 weeks.
The US geothermal energy sector is expanding with support from the government and innovations in enhanced geothermal technologies. Companies like Fervo Energy are leading the way with new projects and technologies to access geothermal resources.
The VAX architecture had a simple exception model with traps and faults, but the kernel had to skip the instruction in case of a fault to prevent a signal loop, which was not possible due to the hardware design. A fix was implemented in 2002 to add a skip_opcode function to compute the address of the next opcode, effectively skipping the offending instruction, and it was later carried over to OpenBSD.
George hired a dragon named Dart to abduct a woman named Rosalind, so he could win her hand in marriage. However, the plan failed when Rosalind married another suitor instead.
A new 10G USB 3.2 adapter from WisdPi offers a compact alternative to bulky Thunderbolt adapters, but its performance depends on the USB port's bandwidth. It reaches full 10 Gbps speed only with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 port, otherwise it's slower.
DeepSeek-V4 is supported on both inference and RL training with SGLang and Miles forming the first open-source stack to serve and train it on launch day. The system combines hybrid sparse-attention architecture, manifold-constrained hyper-connections, and FP4 expert weights with various optimizations and kernel-level improvements to achieve high throughput and efficiency.
I'm building WKID (Wakamoleguy's Identity server), a BrowserID-style identity provider (IdP) for the bespoke apps I build for myself, my friends, and my family. Here's why I dusted off a 10-year-dead protocol to do it. LLMs have made it easier than ever for developers to turn an idea into a working app. This lower barrier to entry means we are seeing an explosion of small, bespoke ...
Report quality is often judged by superficial measures like writing style, not actual content. This can lead to reliance on AI-generated work, where appearance of quality is prioritized over actual value.
The author shared a post about a man named Noah who posts photos of the same tree every year, and it went viral. The author also shared their own experiences with long-term replies, including one from 25 years ago.
The evolution of concurrency abstractions, from threads to callbacks to promises to async/await, has improved the local experience of writing async code but introduced new costs and complexities at the global level, such as function coloring and ecosystem fragmentation. Each solution solved a problem but introduced new structural costs, and language designers are now reevaluating the approach ...
mine is an IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers a complete, all-in-one application and a command-line variant with integrated REPL, debugger, and structural editing.
Desmond Morris was a zoologist and surrealist painter who wrote The Naked Ape, a book that framed modern humans as ape-like despite technological advances. He popularised science through his books and TV shows, including The Human Animal, which explored human customs and their biological roots.
One of the remarkable characteristics of the Super Nintendo was the ability for game cartridges (cart) to pack more than instructions and assets into ROM chips. If we open and look at the PCBs, we can find inside things like the CIC copy protection chip, SRAM, and even "enhancement processors". The copy-protection mechanism of the SNES is something I already dig into in my 10NES ...
Passing file paths to privileged processes can lead to security vulnerabilities due to TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) races and symlink attacks. Using file descriptors instead of paths is a safer approach, and libraries like libglnx provide fd-based filesystem operations to help mitigate these issues.
The user is sharing music player information from the 1980s, specifically from games like Wizball and Athena, and is allowing others to use and modify the work. The user acquired the rights to the music and code from Infogrames and credits the original author, Martin Galway.
Headspace app is silently appearing on iPhone 13 Pro around 1pm EST daily. Reports of similar issue on Reddit suggest it may be a widespread iOS issue.
Canal+, a French TV channel, used a simple encryption system called Discret 11 to block unauthorized viewing, but it was eventually cracked and pirated due to its simplicity and the leak of its schematics. The system was later replaced with Nagravision encryption in 1992 and retired by 1995, but Canal+ went on to become a major satellite broadcaster in Europe.
