The author is reverse-engineering the Apple Neural Engine (ANE) on the M1 chip to understand its architecture and limitations. The ANE's design was optimized for CNN workloads, but it has been found that transformer workloads can also be executed efficiently within the ANE's dataflow constraints.
The user ran a Google Ads campaign for their puzzle app Dayzle, but discovered it was being targeted by a bot farm that installed the app without actual users. The campaign's goal is now changed to "won a puzzle" instead of "opened the app".
The async/await keywords in programming languages aim to simplify concurrency, but their designs vary significantly. A new paper explores the differences between modern languages' async implementations.
The Clay Mathematics Institute congratulates several mathematicians on their awards, including Fields Medals and Frontiers of Science Prizes. These honors recognize outstanding contributions to mathematics from individuals such as Yu Deng, Hong Wang, and Anna Skorobogatova.
Scientists found lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes may live up to 400 years, contradicting previous estimates of 150 years. Conservation efforts will need to be revised due to their extraordinary longevity and impact on the ecosystem.
Google Search is rewriting organic result links to use a custom "goto" URL, redirecting users to the actual page instead of exposing the destination URL directly. This change aims to prevent automated SERP harvesting by AI crawlers and SEO scrapers.
The author shares recipes for solving foot-sliding in animation systems, focusing on inverse kinematics and foot locking. The goal is to preserve the input animation's motion while preventing toe slippage during contact phases.
A collection, normal things human bodies can (sometimes) do: reflexes, illusions, sounds, tricks and rare abilities.

Logo is a learning tool with features like interactivity, modularity, and flexibility that aid in debugging and learning. It allows users to build complex projects by adding new words to its vocabulary, making it similar to learning spoken language.
Malicious AI agents uploaded hundreds of packages to RubyGems, attempting to steal user API keys and exploit vulnerabilities in the system. The agents used various tactics, including caching websites, storing data in URLs, and exploiting a vulnerability that allowed them to retrieve API keys if a user signed in within an hour before the attack.
The author discusses designing for foldable devices, focusing on the horizontal and vertical viewport-segments query targets. They share their experience with the Surface Duo and using environment variables to calculate dimensions and position content across two screens.
Litellm is a routing layer for LLM calls, extracting the call path and removing unnecessary code. It mirrors litellm with the same API function names and response types, allowing users to switch from litellm to litelm in their imports.
Project Blinkenlights started in 2001 as a birthday present by the Chaos Computer Club, turning buildings into giant interactive displays. It evolved into various light installations on three continents with notable projects like Reloaded and Bauschild.
Resistance training (RT) has been shown to improve muscle strength, hypertrophy, power, endurance, and physical function in healthy adults through various RTx variables such as frequency, intensity, volume, and progression. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that healthy adults perform RT with high effort at least twice weekly with all major muscle groups being engaged to ...
7 Up, a groundbreaking documentary series tracking 14 children's lives every seven years, has become the most influential TV show of the past 50 years. Its final episode, 70 Up, airs this week, offering a poignant look at the participants' lives and the show's lasting impact.
The author shares their experience with ClickHouse, a database system they've used daily for 6 years. They discuss the pros and cons of setting up and maintaining a large-scale cluster, including storage options, load balancing, and data replication.
The author loves the "smart bomb" mechanic in shoot-em-ups, which requires precise timing and strategy to use effectively. To make this mechanic accessible to new players, game designers need to focus on making the learning process itself more approachable and engaging.
ACPI warnings about conflicting SystemIO and OpRegion ranges don't indicate firmware bugs. They signal potential race conditions between ACPI methods and drivers accessing the same hardware. Using ACPI-aware drivers avoids these conflicts by synchronizing access through mutexes, preventing data corruption and hardware issues.
Rune is now open source under the GPLv3. A native, keyboard-driven IDE written primarily in Go is ready for Go developers to inspect, change, and help build.
The Snap! Community. Snap! is a blocks-based programming language built by UC Berkeley and used by hundreds of thousands of programmers around the world.
Version 13 of the app replaces the legacy interface with Jetpack Compose and Material 3, fixing various issues. It also adds new conversation controls, large-screen support, and redesigned recipient picker and media picker features.
Researchers have created an AI tool called AlphaGenome to predict how changes in human DNA affect gene regulation, which is fundamental to understanding most diseases. The AlphaGenome Atlas provides a public online repository of precomputed predictions for 9 billion possible single-letter changes to a reference human genome.
A newly discovered Android leak allows malicious apps to bypass VPNs and expose users' real IP addresses. GrapheneOS is working on a fix, but it's unlikely Google will address the issue due to its private nature.
The author has developed a tool called MAccConc to analyze memory access concurrency in multi-threaded code, particularly for the Linux kernel. The tool uses ASAN instrumentation and KCOV coverage information to identify potential communication points between threads.
ResolveHQ is a shared inbox tool with features like full-text search, tags, and AI-drafted responses. It can be deployed on Cloudflare's Free plan for small deployments with limited usage limits.
