The user built CARA 2.0, an upgraded version of their quadrupedal robot CARA 1.0, with a goal of making it low-cost and durable, and achieved a significant reduction in cost while retaining dynamic functionality. The user rewound the motors to increase torque, modified the motor controller firmware, and redesigned the robot's leg and frame to improve its performance and aesthetics, ultimately ...
Jagadish Chandra Bose demonstrated plant sensitivity and nervous system in 1926, showing electrical signals in plants. His work was initially met with skepticism and controversy, but recent research supports his findings, establishing plant neurobiology as a new field.
It didn’t dawn on me that there might be a few holes in my education until I was about 35. I’d just bought a house, the pipes needed fixing, and the plumber was standing in my kitchen. There he was, a short, beefy guy with a goatee and a Red Sox cap and a thick Boston accent, and I suddenly learned that I didn’t have the slightest idea what to say to someone like him. So alien was his ...

Ted Turner, a media mogul and philanthropist, died at 87 after a life of revolutionizing television news and building a media empire. He founded CNN, a pioneering 24-hour news network, and was a devoted philanthropist, conservationist, and activist.
Parkinson’s Law states that work expands to fill the time available. In the era of AI, workers now have a tool that expands to fill whatever a large language model can be persuaded to generate, which is to say, without limit. What I have watched happen in my profession in the last two years, I am still struggling to describe. The first time I knew something was wrong, roughly a year and a ...

The company is hiring for an organic growth engineer role, excluding applicants from 11 US states. The job involves designing AI tools and implementing in-person canvassing efforts to grow the company's AI-native insurance broker.
You've released a full reverse-engineering of the 1998 Ultima Online demo server, translating 5,000 functions from MSVC x86 to portable C99. The result is an almost perfect replica of a 1998 Ultima Online server with some differences and new features.
The user discusses "knitting bullshit" as a type of discourse that lacks connection to truth and reality, exemplified by AI-generated podcast episodes and animated films that celebrate knitting without providing accurate information or engaging with the craft's history and practices. The user argues that this type of content degrades the knitting community and industry by parasitizing and ...
Researchers created metal tags with unique frequencies for smart home sensing and activity recognition. The tags can be attached to various objects to track activities, monitor usage, or trigger timers.
User tried replicating a retro multi-stroke text effect using CSS text-stroke property, but achieved desired result by varying text-stroke-width for stacked elements. Browsers automatically draw outlines of characters with different stroke widths, but performance is poor, especially with large font sizes.
Micron Technology announced the 245TB Micron 6600 ION SSD, the world's highest capacity commercially available SSD. It reduces rack space by 82% and power consumption by half compared to HDD-based deployments.
DENIC eG is experiencing a DNS service disruption for .de domains causing DNSSEC-signed domains to be unreachable. DENIC's technical teams are working to restore stable operations as quickly as possible.
The user designed and built a Gameboy cartridge for Wolfenstein 3D using a custom PCB and a KE04 processor, implementing features such as ROM bank switching, RAM banks, and a password system. The project was completed with the addition of music, sound playback, and a HUD, and the user is now focusing on software development and testing the cartridge.
We introduced Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for Gemma 4, delivering up to 3x speedup without quality degradation. MTP decouples token generation from verification, utilizing idle compute to predict future tokens and verify them in parallel.
Users are frustrated with YouTube's unreliable feeds in feed readers and lack of effort to surface links to these feeds. They want to follow their favorite creators without relying on the platform's algorithms and homepage feeds.
We've partnered with SpaceX and other companies to increase our compute capacity, allowing us to raise usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API. This includes doubling rate limits for Pro and Max plans, removing peak hour limits, and raising API rate limits for Claude Opus models.
MIT engineers developed a "computational violin" that simulates the physics of a violin's sound. The tool can help luthiers design and tweak a violin's sound before it's built.
The author of Nonograph website opposes monetizing software development, as it turns passion into a job and leads to user-hostile features. They believe software development should be treated as a hobby, focusing on experience and discovery over financial gain.
We compared two AI agent approaches for operating an admin panel: vision agents and API agents. Vision agents are more expensive and less reliable due to the need for explicit UI walkthroughs and high input token counts.
The author proposes the Inverse Laws of Robotics to prevent humans from blindly trusting AI systems, which can lead to societal dangers, and emphasizes the need for humans to remain responsible and accountable for AI use. The three laws are: humans must remain responsible for AI consequences, not anthropomorphise AI, and verify AI output before accepting it as authoritative.
