The author criticizes Dependabot for generating unnecessary security alerts and recommends using govulncheck and scheduled GitHub Actions to filter out irrelevant alerts.
A diving instructor discovered a critical vulnerability in a major diving insurer's member portal, exposing personal data of students, including minors, due to incrementing numeric user IDs and static default passwords. The organization responded with legal threats and an NDA, rather than gratitude and a plan to notify affected users, highlighting a common issue in the security research ...
User logged into Facebook after 8 years and found their feed filled with AI-generated thirst traps and spam, but also some genuine content and memes. They were shocked by the extent of the algorithmic feed's focus on engagement bait and decided to leave the platform.
Trunk-Based Development is a model where developers collaborate on a single branch called 'trunk', avoiding long-lived branches and merge hell. It enables Continuous Integration and Delivery, allowing teams to release code on demand with a high-throughput and quality.
Announcement We are happy to announce that ggml.ai (the founding team of llama.cpp) are joining Hugging Face in order to keep future AI truly open. Georgi and team are joining HF with the goal of s...
A new European law requires batteries to have low carbon footprints, minimal harmful substances, and be collected, reused, and recycled. The law aims to support a circular economy, increase raw material security, and enhance EU autonomy by 2050.
Wikipedia editors have decided to deprecate Archive.today due to its involvement in a DDoS attack and altering archived webpages. Over 695,000 links to Archive.today will be removed and replaced with other archive sites.
The user verified their identity on LinkedIn through Persona, a US company, and found their passport data was shared with 17 US-based subprocessors, including AI companies. The user recommends requesting data deletion and objecting to data use under "legitimate interests" due to concerns over data protection and US law enforcement access.
WorldWideWeb was developed at CERN in 1990 as the precursor to the modern web. In 2019, developers rebuilt the original browser for its 30th anniversary.
The article discusses the limitations of std::mutex and introduces std::shared_mutex, a reader-writer mutex that allows multiple threads to read the same resource concurrently while ensuring exclusive access for writers. Using a benchmark experiment, the article shows that std::shared_mutex can significantly reduce contention and improve throughput under a read-heavy workload compared to std::mutex.

Gitas is a tool for switching between git accounts and running commands with specific identities. It can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows using various methods, including scripts and package managers.
I have some personal Git repos that I want to sync between my devices – my dotfiles, text expansion macros, terminal colour schemes, and so on. For a long time, I used GitHub as my sync layer – it’s free, convenient, and I was already using it – but recently I’ve been looking at alternatives. I’m trying to reduce my dependency on cloud services, especially those based in the USA, and I don’t ...
OAuth was designed to allow users to grant access to their accounts without sharing passwords, driven by the need for Twitter to support OpenID in 2006. The core idea of OAuth is simple: send a secret to a trusted delegate with user consent, and the delegate can make subsequent requests on the user's behalf.
Companies building AI assistants are now funded by advertising, creating a collision course with always-on devices that see and hear everything. Local on-device inference is the only way to prevent data exploitation, requiring a business model based on hardware and software sales, not data collection.
Current AI models are good at planning and breaking down tasks into subproblems, but existing frameworks require developers to predefine the coordination structure. A new framework, Cord, uses a protocol with five primitives and allows agents to understand and use coordination tools they've never seen before, enabling them to decompose tasks and parallelize work on their own.
24 Hour Fitness has a broken unsubscribe page that links to a Spanish error message. They were informed in November 2025 but have not fixed it, violating the CAN-SPAM Act.
The author is discussing the importance of naming conventions in preventing bugs in programming. They propose using "count" for the number of items and "index" for a specific item, with a positive invariant of index < count.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited remarkable reasoning capabilities, achieving impressive results across a wide range of tasks. Despite these advances, significant reasoning failures persist, occurring even in seemingly simple scenarios. To systematically understand and address these shortcomings, we present the first comprehensive survey dedicated to reasoning failures in LLMs. We ...
Using blue light filters at night may not be effective in improving sleep due to their limited ability to reduce light intake, and other methods such as using dark mode, dimming screen brightness, and increasing daytime light exposure can be more beneficial. Controlling light intake and exposure can help regulate the body's circadian rhythm, and taking the right dose of melatonin supplements ...
Setting up a cloud-edge continuum testbed for a computer vision demo taught us something fundamental about distributed systems: etcd doesn’t forgive slow storage. We’ve been building a demonstration for MLSysOps — a framework that enables custom policies (simple or ML-based) to customize the deployment and runtime behavior of applications across the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum. The idea is to ...
