The user wants to build a suite of applications for recording reviews that allow users to choose how public or private they want their reviews to be, but is disappointed with the current design of ATProto, which assumes everything will be published online and doesn't support access control or private data. The user believes ATProto has the potential to be a new protocol empowering users, but ...
Dex from HumanLayer discusses the limitations of using AI coding agents in software development, citing issues with maintainability and code quality over time. He proposes a 4-phase approach to using AI in coding, including product review, system architecture, program design, and implementation, to help teams produce high-quality code.
The goal is to create a simplified 3D graphics API clone from scratch using OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX, focusing on understanding the underlying concepts rather than writing GPU applications. The initial task involves creating a software renderer that can load a 3D model and render it to an image file, starting with basic functionality to set pixel colors.
This online book teaches modern OpenGL basics, intermediate, and advanced knowledge in an easy-to-understand format with clear examples. It's free and available online, with a physical copy also available for purchase.
A24 is removing Backrooms-related content, including artwork, citing copyright concerns despite the concept originating from a 2019 4chan post. This move has sparked concerns about large companies controlling community-created internet culture, with creator Kane Parsons supporting the community.
Alex Alejandre Matheus Moreira built Lone Lisp, a language directly on Linux system calls, and shares his knowledge of C and the Linux Kernel. He started learning programming through video games, specifically the Mega Man Battle Network series, and eventually learned various languages including C++, Java, Ruby, and Lisp, before creating Lone Lisp as a freestanding language with a focus on ...
Palmier Pro is an open source Mac video editor that integrates AI into the workflow. It allows users to generate and edit videos with SOTA models and connect with agents like Claude/Codex/Cursor via MCP.
A US Air Force F-16 fighter jet has undergone in-air testing using an AI agent to autonomously control flight, advancing combat AI development. The VENOM program, a joint effort between the US Air Force and DARPA, aims to develop trusted, autonomous air combat capabilities.
Researchers at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University discovered a cleaner method to separate rare earth elements using a layered form of manganese oxide. The new approach relies on electrochemical intercalation and can differentiate rare earth elements in water without organic solvents.
Astronomers have discovered a moon-like object in the CD-35 2722 system, which orbits a brown dwarf, not a planet. This object is at least as massive as Jupiter and is difficult to label due to the system's unique characteristics.
The user created a program to convert any file into a Minecraft world by mapping each byte to a block and placing them in a 16x16x16 cube. The program can now read and write .mca region files, allowing for large multi-region worlds to be encoded.
The debate over open-source AI models is misguided, as history shows that suppressing open-source software is difficult and only weakens companies against international competitors. Open-source AI models can benefit the US economy, as they can be developed by various commercial actors, including American startups and chip makers, and can lead to innovation and growth.
Louis built Screenpipe, an app that records screen and audio locally to give AI agents a searchable memory of user activity, making it easier to automate tasks and create SOPs. Screenpipe's AI-friendly API allows users to interact with their recorded data through various agents, with a free tier and commercial plans available, including an enterprise plan for discovering automation opportunities.
Claude Code's prompt cache expires after 5 minutes, causing expensive re-encoding. claude-thermos keeps the cache warm, preventing this tax.
OneCLI is an open-source gateway that securely stores API credentials and injects them into AI agent requests. It provides a single point for managing access, rotating keys, and monitoring agent activity.
This guide explains how to create native 3D applications in C++ using WebGPU graphics API for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It's still under construction and uses outdated code in some sections.
NameCheap customer had account compromised after incoming club leader convinced support to change password and email address without verification. The customer believes this is a massive vulnerability and has moved critical domains out of NameCheap due to ease of account takeover.
The Fields Medal is awarded for outstanding mathematical achievement and future promise, funded by a trust established by J.C.Fields. The 2026 prize winners were recognized for their work in partial differential equations, symplectic geometry, arithmetic and complex algebraic geometry, and harmonic analysis.
The Go compiler uses escape analysis to determine whether a value can be allocated on the stack or must be moved to the heap, and understanding this process is a must-have skill for any Go developer. By using the GoLand escape analysis tool or the -gcflags debug flag, developers can inspect the compiler's output to identify patterns and optimize performance-critical code.
