The user believes AI agents will lead to a costly mistake in software development as they cannot truly program and will produce more low-quality code than ever before. They think large organizations will be hurt the most by AI adoption due to slower feedback loops and less alignment, leading to a dark age for quality software.
AudioMass is a free, open source web-based audio editor running in the browser with no plugins required. It supports various audio operations and effects, with key shortcuts using Shift + key combos.
Reasonix is a terminal-based AI coding agent for DeepSeek, engineered for prefix-cache stability. It's a free, MIT-licensed project with a paid DeepSeek API key.
Go developers considering Rust are often motivated by correctness guarantees, runtime tradeoffs, and developer ergonomics, rather than performance. Rust's type system and borrow checker provide stronger guarantees and more explicit control over runtime behavior, but can be more verbose and require a different mindset.
Researchers at Tohoku University discovered a new method to reduce aerodynamic drag by up to 43.6 percent using distributed micro-roughness. This technology, called DMR, delays the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, reducing frictional drag.
White Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond accuracy and picoseconds precision for large distributed systems with deterministic data delivery. CERN is recruiting FPGA and hardware designers to work on White Rabbit switch v4 and other projects.
C++ is not a superset of C, with differences in object model, initialization model, and invariants, requiring explicit language mode labeling. C++20 and C23 changes, such as designated initializers and function declarator rules, affect compatibility and require careful consideration of language mode.
I used to live on a quiet hill with a great view of the city, but now I live downtown and work with databases. I spent 50 hours drawing a line graph by hand, learning to control line weight and style, and now I appreciate the process and art of hand-drawn data visualization.
Memory's share of AI chip component spending rose from 52% to 63% from Q1 2024 to Q4 2025. Total AI chip component spending increased from $22 billion in 2024 to $52 billion in 2025.
Large Language Model agents struggle with structural constraints in code generation, exhibiting a decline in performance as requirements accumulate. Agents perform better in minimal frameworks but poorly in convention-heavy environments, with data-layer defects being the leading root cause of errors.
Didgeridoo playing reduced daytime sleepiness and apnoea-hypopnoea index in patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. It also improved sleep quality for partners.
Microsoft released source code for the 86-DOS 1.00 kernel and PC-DOS 1.00 kernel, along with utilities like CHKDSK. The code was transcribed from paper printouts by the DOS Disassembly Group, a team of historians and preservationists.
Scientists have solved a 200-year mystery of how tobacco plants make nicotine, a discovery that could lead to safer production of medicines and vaccines. The breakthrough reveals the missing genes and enzymes needed to create nicotine, paving the way for better biotechnology tools.
Firefox gives Adafruit users a direct path from idea to connected hardware project — no extra tools or complex setup required. Use Web Serial to communicate with compatible devices from Firefox, right from supported web tools. Firefox is open source and made by Mozilla, the people-first organization behind an independent web.
Google Cloud Run has a known issue with client disconnects using HTTP/1.1, so we're switching to HTTP/2 cleartext (h2c) for better support. With Go 1.24, setting up h2c is simpler and can be configured directly on the http.Server.
The "Mastering Dyalog APL" book is being updated from Jupyter Notebooks for a more interactive learning experience. The online version is a work in progress with missing chapters and sections, but feedback and corrections can be given on GitHub or by email.
Greg Brockman, OpenAI's co-founder and President, shares the company's history and future in a rare conversation. He discusses AI, its impact, and the future of work in a podcast about mastering knowledge and insights.
Researchers at LegalQuants created a font-based attack called Noroboto that can deceive AI models in legal documents. The attack works by replacing valid Unicode code points with private use areas, making the text unreadable to humans but still legible to AI models.
Scammers are abusing Microsoft's system to send fake emails from [email protected], potentially tricking people into thinking they're genuine. Microsoft is investigating and taking action to strengthen its detection and blocking mechanisms.
PICO is a learned codec that provides 2.3-3 times bitrate savings and 20-40% savings against other codecs, while encoding and decoding images quickly. It offers cross-platform robustness and outperforms top ML-based codecs in speed and efficiency.
The author's childhood computing experience began in the early 1990s at a school with a computer lab, where they learned to program in LOGO and played classic games like Moon Bugs and Space Invaders. The limited access to computers sparked creativity, leading to writing their own game, Andromeda Invaders, and a lifelong passion for computing.
User enjoys nostalgic 90s and early 2000s computers, particularly Windows 9x/XP era. They found a simple way to connect old computers to modern wifi using an Android phone and Ethernet cable.
The author is frustrated with the quality of issues and code generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) in Open Source projects. They want humans to own their issue reports and not rely on LLMs to create slop.

Adrian schmidt: many don't understand how big ai is going to be. he says businesses are about to become way more efficient because of ai - and it's fueled by transparency. the upside here is that businesses will have more productivity, more output, skeptics say. "ai is about making this process commonplace for all businesses," schmidt says. to prepare, understand what your business looks
