Routers are becoming the control plane for AI inference, enabling collaboration between multiple models to improve accuracy and efficiency. The vLLM Semantic Router is a programmable, observable, and open serving layer that selects the right collaboration recipe for each request.
The US Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement's use of geofence warrants requires privacy protections under the fourth amendment. The court held that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location data, even if they are in public areas.
A CUDA program is compiled into machine code that runs on a GPU, involving multiple compilers and transformations from PTX to SASS, and is then launched on the GPU through a complex process involving the CUDA runtime, driver, and kernel-mode driver. The GPU executes the kernel in parallel, using warps and scheduling control bits to hide latency and optimize performance, and eventually copies ...
Dave Piscitello noticed a surge in .garden TLD registrations with high risk scores. AliDNS nameservers and Dominet registration are associated with these high risk scores.
Carson Gross discusses the benefits and drawbacks of using AI in coding, specifically with the Sorcerer's Apprentice problem where developers rely too heavily on AI and lose understanding of their code. He shares a personal experience with AI assistance in fixing a bug in his hyperscript project, highlighting the importance of human oversight and expertise in controlling complexity.
Ornith-1.0 is a self-improving open-source model for agentic coding tasks, achieving state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks. It learns to generate solutions and task-specific harnesses, outperforming leading models of similar size.
EuroISPA warns the European Commission that piracy blocking measures are becoming more extreme and causing overblocking incidents. The ISP organization argues that the Commission should prioritize implementing current law rather than introducing new enforcement obligations.
A while back I asked in this space what would happen if Dario Amodei was wrong. I want to come back to that, because I think the question matters more now than it did then, and for a reason that has nothing to do with whether I like Dario or his company. I do, for the record. That’s not the point. The point is a document. In Machines of Loving Grace, Amodei made the case that scaling compute ...
The Apple Neural Engine is a fixed-function matrix accelerator in Apple chips since A11-class, exposed through Core ML. A reverse-engineered guide documents its datapath, dispatch route, and compiler format for A11-A18 and M1-M5 chips.
Dark-sky lighting reduces light pollution by directing light downwards and using amber colors, which helps protect wildlife and our circadian rhythm. It also reduces energy consumption and makes our stars visible again, promoting a safer and healthier environment.
The author discusses font loading security concerns and proposes using monospace as a fallback font. They also criticize the use of specific fonts like Menlo and Courier New, suggesting browser defaults are now better.

Sandia National Laboratory built capacity to design and test ICs for radiation-hardened devices in the 1970s and 1980s for use in space missions and nuclear warheads. They successfully created the SA3000 processor, which could handle 1×106 rads of radiation with minimal performance reduction, and was used in the W88 nuclear warhead and other space applications.
Research suggests that sunlight, not vitamin D supplements, is key to overall health, reducing disease rates and improving mental conditions. Current sun-exposure guidelines may be misguided, particularly for people of color who require more sun exposure to produce vitamin D.
A journalist discovered nearly one million exposed passports and IDs on public internet due to a company's failure in data security practices. The documents were accessible through direct URLs with no authentication or encryption, creating a potential window for criminal exploitation.
In medieval Venice, factional divides led to violent street battles between the Castellani and Nicolotti, with bridges serving as platforms for these fights. The ritualized violence of these battles, known as the "guerre dei pugni," became a popular spectacle in Venice by the 17th century.
Sally kohn: it's been a devasting year for journalism. she says the government is using its full power to dismantle the free press - and we need to grow if we are to succeed! ku argues that the next one might involve protesters from the political fringes rather than ordinary americans reading, say, the intercept op-eds? king: we have to be
The license provides audit rights, AI protection, and self-expiring terms. It also offers continuity protection with automatic transition to Apache 2.0 in case of vendor issues.
The author reminisces about the "computer room" of their childhood, where computers were bulky and had fixed locations, and how portable devices like laptops and smartphones have changed the way we interact with technology. The author now seeks to reintroduce boundaries and physical restrictions to minimize distractions and maintain a healthier relationship with technology.
The text discusses various aspects of programming such as correctness, efficiency, debuggability, and more. It proposes a new approach to Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate code from separate documents for each concern.
Consumers in the US have sued Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron over alleged memory price fixing. The lawsuit claims the companies colluded to drive up D-RAM prices by 700% over four years.
Chernobyl was the world's worst nuclear disaster, but its effects were relatively small compared to other disasters. Low-level radiation exposure has not been proven to cause significant harm, and some studies suggest it may even have health benefits.
