A wax motor is a device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy using phase-change waxes, providing smooth and gentle operation. Wax motors are used in various applications such as aerospace, washing machines, and hydronic heating systems due to their reliability and cost advantages.
A source code leak occurred in CrowdSec's GitHub repository in May 2026, but the leaked code is mostly outdated and does not pose a significant threat. The team is investigating the incident and monitoring for any abnormal activity.
GitLab.com is updating its rate limits to align with subscription tiers, starting October 19 for free accounts and January 2027 for premium and ultimate plans. Users can authenticate requests to access higher limits or upgrade to premium/ultimate plans.
A conventional model cannot learn from live interaction due to frozen weights, but an Infinite-Parameter LLM can by generating weights from run-time data. This is achieved through a compact hypernetwork that updates the effective weight online using Bayesian belief over the generator's latent code.
The author reflects on the impact of AI on mathematics, disagreeing with a letter signed by 25 Fields medallists that emphasizes the importance of conceptual understanding over problem-solving. The author believes that both aspects are valuable and that a spectrum of attitudes exists among mathematicians.
OpenAI may have constructed a counterexample to the Hodge conjecture, as suggested by Weil's doubts and attempts to find one. Weil's work on Hodge theory and potential counterexamples influenced future developments in algebraic geometry.
A Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook was successfully hacked to run Ubuntu, with the help of an AI agent that generated patches and code for various components, including U-Boot and a display driver. The process involved multiple attempts at debugging and refining the code, as well as testing on real hardware using a $15-$20 GLM-5.3-Flash device.
The author recounts a road trip across the US, visiting various self-storage facilities and observing their operations. The industry has grown significantly since its inception in the 1970s, with over 90% of global capacity located in the US.

The Servo project's Josh Bowman-Matthews has been working part-time to improve the contributor experience, funded by monthly donations. He made significant contributions, including fixing test failures and rewriting the JS engine integration.
Speech recognition models have become remarkably good at transcribing clean audio recorded under controlled conditions. But real dictation rarely happens under those conditions. Millions of people use Wispr Flow to message friends, write emails, code, and work through ideas at their desks, between meetings, during commutes, and in busy offices. They speak through laptop microphones, earbuds, ...
The user is setting up a community to share AI-related tools, workflows, and systems with others. They aim to learn from others' setups and feel more comfortable with their own AI setup.
The author compares the Roland SC-55 and Yamaha MU80 sound modules, as well as their software recreations, to determine which one sounds "best" for DOS gaming. The author concludes that the hardware Yamaha MU80 is superior due to its lower noise floor, higher quality samples, and better chorus and reverb effects.
The Chaos Computer Club is hosting 40C3, Europe's biggest hacker party and conference, from December 27-30, 2026. The event aims to promote a more combative spirit and community through talks, art, music and performances.
Skillsync is a tool that lets users move AI chat sessions across different coding agents, making them portable and searchable. It acts as a universal converter, allowing users to pick up where they left off on any agent without starting over.
Commercial shipping is adopting wind-assisted propulsion systems to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, with over 100 ships equipped and more in development. These modern systems work alongside conventional engines to harness the wind for efficiency gains whenever possible.
Mathematicians are now facing a new era of secrecy due to the advent of large AI companies competing for solutions to famous problems, potentially stifling open science and collaboration. The shift in incentives may lead mathematicians to hold onto partial results, fearing that others will use powerful tools like AI to solve the problem before they can publish their work.
The author discusses the limitations of using Large Language Models (LLMs) as classifiers, including hard labels and lack of calibration. However, by combining LLMs with logistic regression or other machine learning algorithms, they can achieve better performance and calibration.
Men. Some would rather vomit up a rambling blog post wall of text that nobody's going to read than go to therapy. So here we are. I've seen my share of stupid over the years, but now people with no engineering background have started pitching "industry changing" solutions they cooked up in their agent infested homelab; people's emails read like bozotic LinkedIn-fluencer ...
The author received unsolicited messages from multiple strangers after posting about their background on Hacker News, suggesting a public referral program has become a form of spam. The company's payment incentive for successful referrals is creating an unfair advantage for those who can easily match keywords with the candidate's profile.
The author wrote a 174-line PHP polyfill for the http_build_url() function in 2014, which has been installed nearly 20 million times and is still used by many websites. The author has now deprecated it due to its age and potential security risks.
The user wants to find skills on SkillBay, a marketplace for AI agent skills. They need help with listing categories and searching for relevant skills based on keywords or category.
Google's plan for situations like this is to use account recovery options, such as security questions or phone numbers. However, if 2FA is enabled and a password is forgotten, users may need to appeal the issue through Google's support team.
Someone putting a phone call on hold is generally trying to be polite, but it can lead to lost productivity in 2022 where typing is slower than talking. A more efficient approach would be to ask the question immediately after greeting.
Vinix is an independently developed, Unix-like operating system with its own kernel and drivers, targeting x86-64 and ARM64 architectures. It aims to provide a fast, open-source, minimal operating system for MacBooks.
Graphviz layout engines are specialized algorithms that convert text scripts into visual diagrams, with each engine designed for specific data structures. A modern diagram-as-code platform allows developers to switch between hierarchical trees, radial networks, and circular rings using interactive browser-based editors.
