AMD acquired AI chip company Taalas, which etches model weights into silicon for faster inference performance. The deal aims to boost AI hardware and compete with Nvidia's dominance in the market.
To find the best Mario Kart 8 build, use the Pareto front to eliminate dominated options and focus on the efficient drivers that balance speed and acceleration. This objective criteria helps filter out suboptimal choices, but you still need to make a final decision based on your play style and preferences.
Scientists using the U.S. National Science Foundation Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope discovered Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability on the Sun's surface. This finding could help explain explosive solar activity and other solar phenomena, and may be a key reason why the Sun's outer atmosphere gets hot.
The author argues that the value of human judgement, or "taste," has become more important in software development now that machines can generate code quickly and efficiently. However, this judgement is difficult to measure and is often overlooked in favor of productivity and efficiency, leading to a flood of mediocre software that lacks quality and purpose.
Atomic clocks use tiny particles called atoms to keep time, which are more stable and precise than human-made clocks. By tuning light to the atoms' resonant frequency, we can measure time with incredible accuracy, billions of times more precise than other clocks.
Researchers developed a bioengineered chewing gum that reduced HPV by 93% and nearly eliminated two bacteria linked to head and neck cancer. The gum preserved beneficial mouth bacteria, raising hopes for a safer and more affordable therapy for head and neck cancer.
Nepal's National Cyber Security Centre has joined Have I Been Pwned's free gov service to monitor government domains against data breaches. This will help Nepal identify and respond to exposed government email addresses and compromised credentials.
GitHub's Status Page - Incident with Actions.
We want AI to create something good without understanding how it works, but it's like a steak machine that can follow a recipe but not know what we actually want. We need to learn to cook with AI, understand its limitations, and judge its results to produce what we want.
We build PCBs in the US, delivering boards to drone and defense teams within 7 days. Our domestic build process ensures on-time shipping and complete audit trails for every order.
Can, the Herdr creator, realized he was the bottleneck and built a runtime to manage agents and development style. He wants to keep the runtime free and open, and is joining Y Combinator to build a team and expand Herdr's features.
The author had a problem with a drawer full of USB-C cables that looked the same but had different capabilities. They solved the issue by using a $15 cable tester to determine which cables could charge their devices the quickest.
In Estonia, residents turn their private gardens, courtyards, and garages into temporary cafes for one day in July, a tradition known as Kodukohvikute Päev. This event allows visitors to experience everyday Estonian life and taste homemade food and drinks.
A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay over $900 million and limit underage users' time on Facebook and Instagram. The order includes a $567 million abatement fund and safety features like hiding likes and disclosing risks.
I just received an email about a limited data breach, leaking customer information (no billing info though). Do you guys think Framework is handling this well? The email looked very detailed and transparent to me.
Helio da Silva transformed a neglected São Paulo area into a 3.2km linear park with thousands of trees and wildlife. He spent 20 years planting and caring for the land with his own money and determination.
A browser game testing human-in-the-loop approval of AI coding agent commands found 32.9% of sessions ended with a negative score due to approved threats and blocked safe commands. Players caught threats most reliably when they were blatantly destructive, but missed commands that exfiltrated credentials three times as often.
As of a recent update, my phone has started detecting me going on a run as "someone snatching my phone and running off". This insta-locks the screen and kicks me out of the app I use to pace my runs. gaaaaah

Jevons paradox happens when the cost of a resource goes down, but the total spend on that resource goes up. It sounds like the total spend should go down since the price went down, but the decreased cost allows for more use within the same budget, and opens up for new families of usage: things that were previously net-negative because of the resource cost are all of a sudden net-positive1. A ...
ChipTycoon is a theme park simulation of a chip factory where a cart carries a silicon wafer through 20 stages of chip production. The park shows four laps of the six-building cycle, with explanations at each stop and adjustable speed.
To access Dawn of the Machine, a free update for Quake, update your game automatically if you already own Quake. Dawn of the Machine is available on XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One, Microsoft PC Store, Game Pass, Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch 2 via backwards compatibility.
Channels connects AI agents to communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing them to understand conversations and respond natively. It uses CopilotKit Intelligence to manage connections and deliver responses, with a guide to set up a Channels agent in a project.
The user is explaining the architecture of a modern high-throughput LLM inference system, specifically the vLLM engine, which enables high-throughput inference in an offline setting but requires additional components for online, async, multi-GPU, multi-node inference. The user breaks down the engine's components, including the engine core, model executor, scheduler, and KV-cache manager, and ...
You're working on a mechatronics project with an X-Y cartesian motion system using stepper motors and timing belts. You've designed an integrated loopback fastener into the actuated component to secure the timing belt, eliminating the need for additional parts.
A finite set of non-collinear points in the Euclidean plane has a line passing through exactly two points. This is proven by assuming the opposite and showing it leads to a contradiction with the definition of the closest point-line pair.
The Pareto front is a set of solutions in multi-objective optimization where no solution outperforms another at every objective, and every solution not in the set is outperformed by at least one solution in the set. It represents the set of efficient choices, allowing designers to make tradeoffs within this set rather than considering the full range of every parameter.

I recently got into flying FPV drones and wanted to share my learning experience. Learning anything is understanding terminology, repetition and loads of practice. I aim currently at a place where I can be air borne for 30 seconds to 1 minute or so on a real tiny whoop drone. That means I am at the beginning of my learning journey and have used the word “learning” very generously. This post ...
