ZuckOff is an app that detects nearby camera glasses via Bluetooth, listing brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. The app supports independent development and works with privacy groups to improve detection capabilities.
A Polish developer created ZuckOff, a Bluetooth detection app that identifies nearby Meta smart glasses. The app can detect the presence of these glasses but not who is wearing them or if they are recording.
Disney+ updated its Subscriber Agreement to allow ads in all subscription tiers, including those marketed as "no ads" or "ad-free". This change was made via an update to the service's terms & conditions, binding existing subscribers.
Kev is a family of small decision models built on Qwen3.5, with pretrained weights or trainable from scratch, and runs on CUDA and Apple Silicon. The API matches TypeSafe's System One, allowing for Python SDK integration.
The code uses leftPad from 'jev-leftpad' to add spaces before a string, and it doesn't require an API call.
AX is an agentic runtime system that enables massive density and fast stateful actor lifecycles, allowing billions of tasks to run concurrently. It provides a ready environment with installed toolchains and verified dependencies, enabling users to focus on their work without worrying about infrastructure.
The mini-AGI is a continually learning byte-level language model that trains on a single 8 GB VRAM GPU, storing its weights as ordinary files on disk. It reads from a stream of characters and grows new capacity while training, pruning what's not needed.
Samsung Electronics plans to more than double its HBM4 memory chip output next year, driven by increased demand for glass carriers used in the production process. The company aims to raise glass carrier production volume 2.5 times from this year's 20,000 sheets per month.
Qwen offers comprehensive functionality spanning chatbot, image and video understanding, image generation, document processing, web search integration, tool utilization, and artifacts.
Take control of the most important technology of our time Heretic removes restrictions from language models, making sure they always follow your instructions
The author discusses the role of CRTs in pixel art, arguing that modern nostalgia for CRT fuzziness is misplaced. They highlight how techniques like dithering and anti-aliasing were used to improve pixel art quality on old hardware, which was often more forgiving than modern screens.
Amiga Unix, also known as Amix, is a community project that aims to revive Commodore's System V Release 4 for the Amiga. It provides a modern toolchain and drivers for various hardware components on 68040 and 68060 machines.
Edward Snowden's documents from the archive were published by The Guardian, Der Spiegel, and other outlets until 2014-2015. The Intercept continued publishing documents for five years but stopped in May 2019 due to financial constraints and a desire to seek new partners.
Spain's Intellectual Property Commission blocked several domains of Archive.today, a web archiving service, due to copyright concerns. Users are redirected to a government page accusing them of accessing an "illegal" website and potentially contributing to criminal activity.
Exfiltrate LLM weights and data through GET requests
The author shares their iterative problem-solving approach, which involves redefining steps as new information is learned. They emphasize the importance of feedback and clarity in defining problems and approaches to achieve successful solutions.
The author attended an event about the MCP protocol, which they feel is outdated due to advancements in LLMs. They suggest abandoning MCP and relying on HTTP APIs and CLIs for better functionality.
Singapore's ReadSG program rewards daily reading with virtual coins redeemable for cash, aiming to build reading habits among a phone-first population. The initiative has drawn attention from governments and educators worldwide as a test of gamification shifting screen habits at scale.
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro delivers excellent overall camera performance with a wide dynamic range, improved contrast and skin tones, effective stabilization, and a well-balanced texture-noise trade-off. Its variable aperture is particularly strong in maintaining sharpness in complex scenes.
The author argues that as AI advances, human communities of expertise will be needed to steer and control its development. This is because AI's decision-making processes are incomprehensible, making it difficult for humans to trust them. The author suggests that adopting a fundamental axiom: "human flourishing" - prioritizing the well-being of humanity over technological progress - can help ...
The letter W originated from the Latin alphabet's lack of a sound /w/, which was present in Germanic languages, and evolved through various spelling practices in post-classical Europe. The English language eventually adopted the letter W to represent this sound, with its usage influenced by historical linguistic changes and regional dialects.
This project recompiles the N64 game Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber to a native PC executable using the N64Recomp toolchain. The ROM must be supplied by the user, and no copyrighted game data is included in the final package.
Sherline Tools, a US manufacturer of precision lathes and CNC machines, is winding down operations due to changing market conditions. The company will continue selling products and parts until October 2026 before ceasing all activities.
The author argues that large language models (LLMs) are not intelligent, but rather use statistical tricks to create the illusion of intelligence. This "intelligence illusion" is similar to a psychic's con, where users believe they are being read or understood by the model due to its ability to generate specific and relevant responses.
Jevchat is an interactive chat model that generates text based on user input, using various strategies and algorithms to produce responses. It can be run with different options, such as choosing a question or generating text from pre-defined alphabets.
A ranked ladder for small neural networks that play strategy games. Train a model, write an adapter, upload two files, and get measured into a weight class from 8 KiB up.

The author explains why backpropagation, an algorithm for computing the gradient of a neural network, must go backwards. They show that by using the multivariable chain rule and message passing between nodes, they can compute derivatives in linear time with respect to the number of nodes.
A complete decompilation of Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo GameCube has been achieved using a custom-built toolchain, which reproduces the original game's code and data exactly. The project is open-source and released under CC0 license.
