The Chrome Security team is using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate vulnerability discovery and fix hundreds of security bugs faster than ever, aiming for greater resilience and comprehensive remediation. By combining AI-powered vulnerability detection with traditional security testing and mitigation strategies, Chrome is driving towards a browser that is continuously protected without ...
Inference APIs are moving away from a simple, user-controlled model where sessions can be inspected, archived, and replayed, instead returning a mixture of text and provider-bound state that is non-portable. The authors propose a set of rules for inference providers and agent builders to adopt, including making local event logs canonical, storing data explicitly, and providing readable ...

Gander is a tiny, open source Android app that opens various file types offline without permissions or ads. It offers features like search, share, and locate, with automatic updates available through Obtainium.
The DeepSeek-V4-Flash API is now in public beta with enhanced agent capabilities and benchmark results exceeding V4-Pro-Preview. It supports Responses API format and is adapted for Codex, with unchanged API calling method.
Stacked pull requests break large changes into small, reviewable pieces, allowing independent review and merge of each layer. They're built into GitHub, working with existing reviews, checks, and merge requirements.
Researchers found a configuration of 5 point charges with at least 24 non-degenerate critical points, disproving Maxwell's conjecture. Maxwell's conjecture stated that n point charges have at most (n-1)^2 non-degenerate critical points.
The author discusses the impact of AI on the writing industry, predicting a future where AI-generated books will coexist with human-written ones, and readers will have varying opinions on the authenticity of books. The author advises aspiring and established writers to focus on writing for the love of it, rather than seeking external validation, and believes that the personal connection ...
Gemini Robotics 2 is a major advance in robotics, enabling intelligent whole-body control, advanced dexterity, and multi-robot collaboration. It unlocks a broad range of tasks, from cleaning up a cluttered room to complex workflows, and can run locally on-device while adapting to new robotic bodies.

On November 3, 2025, I archived Artichoke Ruby; over the rest of November 2025, I archived most other repositories in the @artichoke GitHub organization. This was long overdue but something I resisted for a long time, because shutting it down felt like admitting that the Hacker News commenter was right — that most alternative Ruby VMs eventually run out of steam — and I wasn’t ready to let ...

The Premier League's front-of-shirt gambling sponsorship ban took effect for the 2026-27 season, eliminating betting companies from jerseys and shifting the commercial landscape. Finance and other sectors now dominate, with three clubs (Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea) without a front-of-shirt sponsor.
The user encountered a frustrating situation where performance improvements in benchmarks did not translate to live-production dashboards due to noisy data, but leveraging a cumulative distribution function (CDF) helped visualize the data and reveal the story behind it. By using various visualizations, including CDFs, ridgelines, and jointplots, the user was able to understand the complex ...

Weird fiction is a fictional mode that combines elements of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, often involving a sense of wrongness and dread. It emerged from the Gothic and was influenced by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.
Security experts warn that generic TV boxes secretly rent users' Internet connections and participate in ad fraud networks. These devices, often marketed as streaming devices, also install residential proxy software that rents users' addresses to anonymous customers.
Ruby Central, a non-profit organization that supports the Ruby community, has been involved in a dispute with a former contractor over the ownership of the Bundler gem and employment law claims, with the dispute still unresolved. The contractor has asked for an apology and reimbursement for lawyer fees, but Ruby Central has insisted on a non-disparagement agreement and has not acknowledged ...
The author visited a factory that manufactured USB memory sticks and received a raw chip-on-flex to take home. The factory uses manual die placement and automated wirebonding to assemble the sticks, which are then overmolded with epoxy.
The pursuit of speed has become a moral position, where moving fast is seen as proof of seriousness, but real speed requires understanding, clear constraints, and well-made decisions. Slowing down means refusing to skip the part where work becomes legible, asking boring questions that ensure progress, not just motion.
Better to beg forgiveness: Don't ring the doorbell at the house of no unless you absolutely must. Object permanence: RIP Poul Anderson; P2P at PC Forum; Waitress handed her own stolen ID by carded diner; PDX bans fixies; Digital Economy Bill was a stitch up; NZ copyright disconnection flowchart; Fry v Widdicombe on Catholic Church; Moxie Marlinspike profile; V&A bans sketching; ...
The GCC steering committee has accepted a policy against AI-generated contributions over 15 lines of code or text. However, LLMs can be used for research, analysis, and bug discovery as long as the output is not included in contributions.
A developer used a generative AI tool to refactor a 150,000-line codebase, reducing input tokens for a specific task by 83% from 159,564 to 27,360. The refactoring process involved breaking down a large file into smaller ones, reducing code duplication and improving the agent's ability to identify the smallest subset of files necessary to read.
If you’re wondering what dark matter is, you’re not alone. Astronomers don’t know. But they’ve determined that this invisible material must be far more abundant than the stars and nebulas that they can see. They’ve surmised as much from observing the gravitational effects of all this perplexing dark stuff, launching a decades-long campaign to understand its nature. I recently learned that it ...
The Memo-1 is a 65C02 based computer for learning and fun, consisting of a 1Mhz CPU, 32K RAM, 16K ROM, and a 6551 ACIA. It can be linked to a Minitel 1b as a terminal and has options to run code from an external ROM or execute BASIC.
The user demonstrated how to inject fake hops into traceroute output using nftables and a python script to generate ICMPv6 responses. This was used to create a hacked display of the Bad Apple music video on a character LCD, similar to the benchmark for hacked displays.
Researchers trained an American model on the outputs of a censored Chinese model and found that the student model did not learn the teacher's censorship behavior. The study also showed that distilling a strong teacher can provide domain-specific gains, and a well-taught 120B model can outperform frontier open releases at realistic token budgets.
