Introducing the MiMo-V2.6 series: frontier intelligence, all the modalities, built in public.
The DRUGS Act (‘Domain Reform for Unlawful Drug Sellers Act, H.R. 6352 & S.3399) is legislation that would rob you and millions of Americans of daily medications that keep them healthy and alive. Worse yet, the legislation is backed by Big Pharma front groups.
The Data Protection Commission fined Google €403 million for violating GDPR rules on processing location data. The commission ordered Google to bring its practices into compliance within 6 months.
Transformer is a neural network architecture that has revolutionized AI, used in text-generative models like GPT and Llama, and applied to various domains such as audio generation and image recognition. It operates on next-token prediction, using self-attention mechanism to process entire sequences and capture long-range dependencies.
The Oxide team is gathering in Emeryville for their annual meetup, wearing t-shirts that pay homage to past computer companies like Sun. The nostalgia for Sun has sparked a discussion about what the company got right and wrong, with lessons learned from both serving as inspiration and warning for Oxide's own approach.
The Tetris effect shows how focused attention shapes thoughts, but modern technology often takes control of what we see and hear. Intentional internet browsing is still available, requiring a slower pace to find quality content.
The author optimized Linear's Continuous Integration (CI) process, reducing PR wait time and runner time by 34% and 52%, respectively. These changes improved the overall performance of CI, allowing for faster code shipping and reduced infrastructure costs.
The author expresses frustration with the increasing use of AI to generate writing, citing its inability to convey nuance and context. They argue that this approach can lead to unreadable documents and a loss of human connection in communication.
The article explains that cameras in 3D graphics work by applying perspective projection, a simple math-based technique to project 3D coordinates onto a 2D screen. This involves dividing x and y coordinates by z, which represents depth, resulting in normalized device coordinates (NDC).
The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence aims to advise AI companies on their interactions with mathematical research, promoting transparency and accountability. The group seeks input from the mathematical community to inform recommendations for OpenAI's release of significant results in mathematics produced by its internal model.
Apple's Copland OS was cancelled and replaced by Mac OS X, but its last build is now available in emulation. The 11 patches to unlock it are on a forked branch for wasm compatibility.
A remote access implant was found hidden in an npm package, mathjs, which copies the popular library. The malicious code decrypts a payload and runs it when a specific equation is solved with the library.
Grok 4.7 is a highly capable model for coding and knowledge work, offering improved performance on difficult tasks and enhanced safeguards. It is competitively priced at $2 per million input tokens and available through various platforms.
The author argues that the future of research is not about having the most resources, but rather about using limited resources to create something valuable. Academia will experience a renaissance due to this shift in approach.
The study evaluated three AI policies on a set of five tasks, including actions that could cause harm to humans. The policies were Claude Fable 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Ai2's MolmoAct2, each tested 20 times per task.
The author is working on composing self-stabilizing systems using the rely-guarantee approach, inspired by a 2017 control theory paper. They have developed a parametrized model of their retry storm system and applied the small gain theorem to analyze stability. However, they found that the memoryless view of components used in the paper limits its applicability to their example.

Kev is a family of small decision models built on Qwen3.5, with pretrained weights or trainable from scratch, and runs on CUDA and Apple Silicon. The API matches TypeSafe's System One, allowing for Python SDK integration.
You can turn off Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI and summarization on your Mac by going to System Settings, clicking the relevant options. This will disable these features but may require a future fee for expanded access.
Cloudflare Workers now supports Python as a first-class language, allowing developers to run Python applications in the Cloudflare Workers runtime. This enables seamless integration with existing Python packages and frameworks.
Peter Bloom's nonprofit Rhizomatica builds shortwave radios with better data rates and encryption, connecting remote communities worldwide. Their open-sourced HERMES system uses the ionosphere for long-distance communication and can send various files over high-frequency radio waves.
TXR is a pragmatic, convenient tool for text processing and data extraction with dual personalities: pattern matching and data-processing languages. It's relatively new, started in 2009, and has a large reference manual due to its complexity.
On a sunny June morning, in a bog outside Beluga, Alaska, I met a Hudsonian godwit. She had inky eyes and a long, slightly upturned beak that was pinkish-orange at its base and brownish-black at its tip. The feathers on her back were of mottled sepia tones, and those on her belly were rusty brown and painterly white. Her legs reminded me of the slender inserts of spring-loaded ballpoint pens, ...
Traffic management in dense urban areas is a complex problem with conflicting goals and challenges, requiring careful analysis of space, cost, approach speed, cycle time, sight distance, types and volumes of traffic. Traffic signals are a common solution to control the right-of-way at intersections.
Foremerge is an open-source coordination protocol for coding agents, allowing isolated worktrees to share intent and semantic claims. It detects conflicts and suggests coordinating on stable abstractions like PaymentProvider.
A restored PDP-11/83 computer system features a Mentec M11 processor, DEC and Emulex controllers, and classic storage devices. It runs 2.11BSD UNIX with networking capabilities and a small HTTP server.
After Anthropic made Fable 5 permanently available in subscription plans, I noticed a large drop in performance. The model felt dumber, and I couldn't explain why. Measured five different ways, August delivered dramatically fewer thinking tokens than July.
