The author has lost trust in Bun due to its AI-powered rewrite, which has led to continuous false promises and a frustrated community. The project's codebase now contains many unsafe blocks, raising concerns about memory safety and the decision to switch from Zig.
A new registry called Palomar is open for submissions of Lean verified mathematics, which checks formal proofs for typechecking and semantic accuracy. The registry aims to provide a platform for external Lean code repositories with human-readable descriptions and proofs.
A 3D fruit fly simulation runs on macOS desktops, mimicking real fly behavior with a live spiking simulation of the FlyWire connectome. The interactive fly can be stimulated by clicking regions to trigger escape, grooming, or other actions based on real neuron locations and connections.
Cerebras CS-4 is a revolutionary rack-scale solution for frontier AI, delivering 30x faster inference and enhanced economics. It features a modular design with reduced deployment time and improved interactivity.
Scientists found that young children in London whose lung growth was stunted by pollution showed significant improvements after the introduction of an Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) in 2019. The study, which followed over 3,400 primary school children for five years, suggests that local clean air zones can help reduce harm caused by pollution during childhood.
A 9th-century shipwreck in Vietnam's Binh Chau province yielded a diverse range of ceramics, including Changsha painted wares and Yue greenware. The cargo is similar to that from the Tang Belitung wreck but shows distinct Southeast Asian shipbuilding technology.
IKEA names its products based on Swedish identity, heritage and values, following two simple rules. The company uses descriptive names in local languages for services and functions while using unique Swedish words for cultural expressions.
SoLo is a tool that builds static Linux binaries with the ability to load and use system GPU drivers, bypassing traditional dependency management issues. It achieves this by embedding its own ELF loader and ABI bridge, allowing it to dynamically load host DSOs without relying on glibc or other container solutions.
The report analyzes AI adoption and usage in software development teams using Linear, finding that AI has become an integral part of product development workflows, with significant increases in time spent on tasks like creating, triaging, and commenting. Despite concerns about productivity gains, the data suggests that teams are working more rather than less due to AI adoption, with output ...
The author discusses how to avoid shared memory bank conflicts in CUDA kernels using swizzling, a technique that rearranges the mapping of shared memory indices without wasting space. The author provides an example implementation of matrix transpose using swizzling and compares its performance with implementations that use padding or no optimization, demonstrating that swizzling can achieve ...
Cursor is rolling out in early beta for paid users, offering a new platform for code management and collaboration. It integrates with GitHub, Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite to provide a seamless app ecosystem experience.
A mobile network operator in Egypt was forced to send pro-regime messages during a political revolution, raising questions about following orders and obeying unjust laws. The incident highlights the need for safeguards to prevent abuse of emergency alert systems and ensure they are used responsibly.
The first social network, Finger, was created in 1971 at Stanford University and allowed users to share their status updates with others. It remains a simple yet functional protocol that has been revived in recent years with modern implementations like Happy Net Box and plan.cat.
TurboVec is a Rust vector index that fits 10 million documents into 4 GB of RAM, outperforming FAISS in search speed. It uses Google Research's TurboQuant algorithm for near-optimal distortion and no separate training phase.
This tool analyzes Sierra SCI games for softlocks, which are states where the game is unplayable but still accepts input. It derives and verifies guards to prevent these softlocks by analyzing guarded room transitions, item movements, and plot-flag writes.
Memory prices have skyrocketed, with DDR5 kits increasing by 500% in a year and reaching $1,100 for a 64GB kit. The shortage is expected to last until at least 2030 due to high demand from AI datacenter builds.
A 25-year-old patent on MPEG-4 Part 2 has expired, allowing Linux users to freely distribute and play back videos without worrying about royalties. This milestone marks the end of a legal issue that had restricted the use of certain video formats in Linux distributions.
US workers experienced a significant decline in real wages during the 2021-2024 inflation period, with median real wage growth falling to 2-4% and over 43% of job-stayers experiencing a real wage decline. The main reason for this decline was that firms maintained a single modal annual raise of exactly 3%, which did not keep pace with inflation, resulting in meaningful declines in real wages ...
Amazon's search ads distort results, prioritizing sellers' budgets over product quality and customer needs. This system creates a cycle of inefficiency, driving up costs for consumers and stifling innovation in the market.
Update: I saw a bunch of comments asking *how* I got Claude to do this - I usually say there's not really a hack for it, you just work with it, convey thoughts decently and try out things with educated guesses until it sticks with these projects. But I actually went ahead and
Interactive, animated architecture maps for any Hugging Face model
Healthcare costs are rising faster than inflation due to administrative waste, soaring drug prices, and emergency care. Implementing Medicare for All would save over $1 trillion annually by reducing these sources of waste and avert more than 100,000 deaths.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge are launching a satellite called CosmoCube to detect faint signals from the early universe, using the Moon as a shield. The mission aims to study dark matter and understand how galaxies formed in the first 13.5 billion years after the Big Bang.
The author reflects on how having kids has changed his life, making it harder to balance work and family responsibilities. He believes that being a great father is just as important as building great things, redefining ambition for himself.
The Red team was restructured with 4 captains, 2 managers, and a senior director to improve performance. The new management implemented a non-monetary reward scheme and outsourced rowing to India for better results.
Apple has updated its business terms for EU apps, resolving disagreements with the European Commission and simplifying rules. The new model charges a 5% commission on digital transactions outside the App Store and eliminates initial fees.
Punctuation originated from medieval practices of placing dots or points at different levels of the line, and its use evolved to reflect technological revolutions, social concerns, and literary genres. The development of punctuation was influenced by writers like Sir Philip Sidney, who used brackets extensively in his work "Arcadia".
