You can turn off Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI and summarization on your Mac by going to System Settings, clicking the relevant options. This will disable these features but may require a future fee for expanded access.
The Oxide team is gathering in Emeryville for their annual meetup, wearing t-shirts that pay homage to past computer companies like Sun. The nostalgia for Sun has sparked a discussion about what the company got right and wrong, with lessons learned from both serving as inspiration and warning for Oxide's own approach.
The Tetris effect shows how focused attention shapes thoughts, but modern technology often takes control of what we see and hear. Intentional internet browsing is still available, requiring a slower pace to find quality content.
A remote access implant was found hidden in an npm package, mathjs, which copies the popular library. The malicious code decrypts a payload and runs it when a specific equation is solved with the library.
The author is working on composing self-stabilizing systems using the rely-guarantee approach, inspired by a 2017 control theory paper. They have developed a parametrized model of their retry storm system and applied the small gain theorem to analyze stability. However, they found that the memoryless view of components used in the paper limits its applicability to their example.

Cloudflare Workers now supports Python as a first-class language, allowing developers to run Python applications in the Cloudflare Workers runtime. This enables seamless integration with existing Python packages and frameworks.
Peter Bloom's nonprofit Rhizomatica builds shortwave radios with better data rates and encryption, connecting remote communities worldwide. Their open-sourced HERMES system uses the ionosphere for long-distance communication and can send various files over high-frequency radio waves.
The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence aims to guide AI companies on responsible engagement with mathematical research. They seek community input on how to handle significant math results from AI models, emphasizing transparency and accountability.
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.
After Anthropic made Fable 5 permanently available in subscription plans, I noticed a large drop in performance. The model felt dumber, and I couldn't explain why. Measured five different ways, August delivered dramatically fewer thinking tokens than July.
A restored PDP-11/83 computer system features a Mentec M11 processor, DEC and Emulex controllers, and classic storage devices. It runs 2.11BSD UNIX with networking capabilities and a small HTTP server.
Traffic management in dense urban areas is a complex problem with conflicting goals and challenges, requiring careful analysis of space, cost, approach speed, cycle time, sight distance, types and volumes of traffic. Traffic signals are a common solution to control the right-of-way at intersections.
OpenAI has developed a new internal model that resolved over 100 open math problems, sparking discussions on responsible deployment and collaboration with the math community. An independent advisory group of mathematicians will review and communicate emerging results to ensure academic standards are met.
The user fixed their Whirlpool washer's non-spinning issue by disassembling it and identifying a broken 'shoulder pawl stud' in the transmission, which was causing the problem. The repair cost $23 for parts and time, saving them from replacing the entire transmission or buying a new washer.
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.
Gravity Linux's early alpha release for M4 Mac mini supports DCP and GPU with KDE and Wayland. Intended for developers, it has known issues but aims to gather feedback before beta.
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 author has been testing the M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM and found it to be a powerful machine for running local AI agents, outperforming their previous setup with the M3 Ultra. The M5 Ultra's unified memory architecture and faster GPU make it ideal for modern agentic coding workflows.
