Gemini 3.8 introduces two variants, Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, offering significant improvements in software engineering, agentic tasks, and critical reasoning at the same speed and low cost as version 3.7 Flash.
LWN is increasing subscription prices by 20% due to rising costs and inflation, effective September 15. The price increase will help maintain the site's independence from advertising and support its continued growth.
The author refuses to install smartphone apps due to the numerous assumptions required, such as owning a smartphone and having internet connectivity.
Users can opt out of Mistral's model training programs at any time, with Vibe users opting in by default and Enterprise customers opted out by default. Users can disable the toggle to prevent data sharing for both Vibe and API services.
We have good news about the Pixel 11. It still has at least bare minimum support for MTE at a hardware level. We think they removed most of the hardware acceleration from the CPU cache to save money. They ruined the performance so it ended up being fully disabled in firmware. It may still be usable.
The author reflects on the "Cave" of private training and how it can lead to a false sense of progress, while missing out on real-world competition and growth. They share their personal experience as a wrestler, where they learned that true victory comes from embracing challenges and risks in public, rather than hiding in solitude.
Two web-grounded models were asked to provide recommendations in 380 software categories, with 7,534 citations retrieved from their URLs. The majority of these citations point at domains ranked lower than #100,000 or not in the top million.
Perplexity's search models failed to verify 34.7% of citations, with 14.4% failing due to claims not being scored per citation rather than per claim. The models cited a significant number of gated URLs that could not be verified by readers without an account.
A Selection of Los Alamos Rolodex Business Cards
Older adults' brains may blend memories together, causing mix-up errors, rather than simply losing memory accuracy. This blending effect is linked to stronger similarity in brain patterns between learning and recall phases.
The Commodore 64, launched in September 1982, was the best-selling computer of all time with over 12 million units sold. It had a significant impact on its users' lives and careers, including the author's own experience with programming and IT.
A mathematician discusses Bridson's algorithm for generating Poisson disk distributions, which efficiently places points in a grid with a minimum distance between them. The algorithm has been improved upon by adding parental optimization and changing the distribution of distances to generate more random configurations.
WebLLM is a high-performance in-browser LLM inference engine that leverages WebGPU for hardware acceleration, enabling powerful LLM operations directly within web browsers. It supports OpenAI API and various models, including custom models in MLC format.
The author overcame phone addiction by implementing friction and blocking distracting websites, including YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn. They achieved this by using LeechBlock NG on their computer and a custom Tampermonkey script on their phone to make the default experience less appealing.
FrontierHarness v1.0 is a software engineering context harness that excludes failures and covers 15 passes, costing $3.24 per task. It offers $100 in credits for testing on Runta with identical environment settings for each run.
This RSEP request seeks to discontinue third level domain name registrations in the .name TLD due to declining usage and limited registrar support. The discontinuation will occur after a 90-day notice period, during which no new third level domain names will be registered and existing ones will be terminated.
This guide is for experienced users to maximize their Xiaomi 15 Ultra's capabilities without rooting, focusing on user privacy and minimizing bloatware. The author has frozen the device at Android 16 due to concerns about future updates.
Tangle offers a visual ML workflow builder with reusable components and code integration. Create and run pipelines without coding, supporting multiple platforms and custom modules.
Trains have a much longer stopping distance than vehicles, requiring extensive safety infrastructure at grade crossings. Engineers use track circuits to detect trains and activate warning devices like gates and lights.
ArtificialAnalysis benchmarks LLM models' intelligence and costs, providing a useful Intelligence Index and cost comparison plots. The plots show diminishing returns on performance as cost increases, with cheaper models often sufficient for most users' needs.

Tellie is building AI to run customer-facing operations with agents that act, understand, and improve. The company prioritizes ownership, shared responsibility, conviction over compromise and agency over complacency in a merit-driven environment.
Chemogenetics, a technique that controls neurons with drugs, is being tested in human clinical trials for conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. The first-generation treatments are promising but have limitations such as requiring brain surgery and potential side effects from the used medication.
Modern AI systems excel in domains they seem poorly suited for, despite being based on continuous vector representations. Researchers propose that these vectors implicitly realize symbolic structure, allowing them to achieve impressive performance in cognitive domains.
Quasar 438B is a flagship reasoning model that scores 43 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, outperforming other European models. It returns 500 tokens in 15.3 seconds and supports multi-step tasks with planning, tool use, code execution, and large context.
This tool checks files for signs of Claude's involvement in creating or editing them, providing a C2PA content credential to verify its origin. A result indicates whether the content was processed by Claude, without revealing its substance or authenticity.
