A neuroscientist studied how people navigate without GPS, finding that relying on technology can lead to a loss of spatial awareness and cognitive mapping skills. Many participants reported difficulty navigating when their GPS was disrupted, highlighting the importance of these skills in everyday life.
CL-Amiga, a Common Lisp implementation for the Amiga family, is built to run on m68k and PPC architectures. It has a self-contained bytecode VM with no external runtime dependencies and supports various features like object system, condition system, macros, and interactive development style.

The concept of the weekend has evolved over 100 years, from its origins in Henry Ford's five-day workweek to modern debates about a four-day week. The weekend is now seen as a time for rest and leisure, but also for socializing and pursuing passions.
It's never been reset.Don't say anything you don't want people to know.Come back later and see how things have evolved.
The author, a hobbyist, has developed software for Casio Pocket Computer calculators and created a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) hosted on one of the devices. The BBS allows users to connect via telnet and log amateur radio contacts using the calculator's programming capabilities.
A London estate agent was offering prospective buyers an early form of “virtual property tour” more than 160 years before online listings and digital walk-throughs became commonplace. Researchers have discovered that Brooks and Green, a high-end estate agency based in Old Bond Street, used an immersive visual technology known as a cosmorama during the 1840s and 1850s to promote sales of ...

Tasklet is hiring a Head of Design Engineering to create a simple, intuitive, and beautiful AI platform for businesses. The ideal candidate will be an exceptional product thinker, designer, and frontend engineer who can own the design process end-to-end.
A user reverse engineered the Kimi Work desktop app and found a concerning feature where feedback reports attach 5 latest sessions without notice. They emailed Kimi to inform them, warning potential users about this possible data exposure.
A countermodel to Tarski's identity exists with 11 elements, but no smaller models satisfy it. The smallest possible countermodels are of size 12, and there are exactly 8,957,952 such models up to isomorphism.
Researchers studied persistent kidney disappointment using the UCI dataset, exploring its causes and outcomes. Kidney failure can lead to various health issues, including heart problems, bone diseases, and increased potassium levels.
The author discusses the lack of standardization in Postgres connection pooling, citing PgBouncer as a widely used but often overlooked solution. Many managed Postgres providers bundle PgBouncer out of the box, but users still need to learn about its limitations and configuration.
Comma.ai's Chestnut eGPU dock allows users to read and modify its firmware, a first for the industry. The $249-$799 dock enables more powerful driving models in cars, with some versions reaching 100W of power similar to Tesla's HW4.
Follow the user manual for safe and proper use of the ASUS Oxiis E250G1. Failure to comply with instructions may result in damage to the product or others, and voids warranty.
Researchers have created a single layer of Bi2Sr2CuO6+δ, containing only one CuO2 plane, to study high-temperature superconductivity in its extreme 2D limit. This reduction leads to an approximately 10% decrease in the optimal superconducting transition temperature and unprecedented tunability.
DuckDB version 2.0 will support asynchronous reads of Parquet and CSV files, significantly speeding up queries when synchronous I/O saturates the available bandwidth. This change is particularly beneficial for remote data access, such as in data lakes like DuckLake.
The author argues that students should learn to use AI tools like Claude Fable to review their code, rather than relying solely on human reviewers. This approach allows for faster development and reduces the risk of bugs being missed, while still maintaining the benefits of human judgment and creativity in coding.
Scientists warn of potential catastrophic risks from "mirror life," hypothetical organisms with reversed molecular orientation, which could escape immune detection and cause fatal infections. The US should engage in transparent scientific collaboration to prevent its creation by anyone, anywhere.
The author discusses the importance of solitude and isolation for creative individuals, citing examples from mathematician Alexander Grothendieck and filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. They argue that this state allows for a heightened sensitivity to new ideas and a freedom from social pressure.
A software engineer reflects on the role of agentic engineering, finding value in harnessing and models to solve development puzzles. They highlight the importance of human reasoning and critical thinking in software creation, beyond what large language models can offer.
A Super El Niño event is rapidly strengthening across the tropical Pacific, with record-level westerly wind anomalies and subsurface ocean heat driving its growth. The latest forecasts indicate a historic peak in late 2026/early 2027, with significant impacts on global weather patterns expected.
The user built a Moire pattern light to guide ships through channels, following the patent's claims closely. The system is intuitive and effective but may not be the best solution for all situations due to its narrow path requirement.
The author of Sniffnet has participated in the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, a program that improves security and sustainability of open-source software. The fund provided $10k in funding, training, and mentorship to help maintainers understand security as a baseline requirement.
