The user designed and built a Gameboy cartridge for Wolfenstein 3D using a custom PCB and a KE04 processor, implementing features such as ROM bank switching, RAM banks, and a password system. The project was completed with the addition of music, sound playback, and a HUD, and the user is now focusing on software development and testing the cartridge.
Micron Technology announced the 245TB Micron 6600 ION SSD, the world's highest capacity commercially available SSD. It reduces rack space by 82% and power consumption by half compared to HDD-based deployments.
We introduced Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for Gemma 4, delivering up to 3x speedup without quality degradation. MTP decouples token generation from verification, utilizing idle compute to predict future tokens and verify them in parallel.
In August 1926, Jagadish Chandra Bose stood before a rapt audience of scientists and showed them their kinship with plants. Bose had traveled from India to Oxford to convince the esteemed members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science that the phenomena governing animal life weren’t restricted to animals alone. On his way into the lecture hall, he pulled a stem of ...
Users are frustrated with YouTube's unreliable feeds in feed readers and lack of effort to surface links to these feeds. They want to follow their favorite creators without relying on the platform's algorithms and homepage feeds.
MIT engineers developed a "computational violin" that simulates the physics of a violin's sound. The tool can help luthiers design and tweak a violin's sound before it's built.
User tried replicating a retro multi-stroke text effect using CSS text-stroke property, but achieved desired result by varying text-stroke-width for stacked elements. Browsers automatically draw outlines of characters with different stroke widths, but performance is poor, especially with large font sizes.
The author of Nonograph website opposes monetizing software development, as it turns passion into a job and leads to user-hostile features. They believe software development should be treated as a hobby, focusing on experience and discovery over financial gain.
We compared two AI agent approaches for operating an admin panel: vision agents and API agents. Vision agents are more expensive and less reliable due to the need for explicit UI walkthroughs and high input token counts.
The author proposes the Inverse Laws of Robotics to prevent humans from blindly trusting AI systems, which can lead to societal dangers, and emphasizes the need for humans to remain responsible and accountable for AI use. The three laws are: humans must remain responsible for AI consequences, not anthropomorphise AI, and verify AI output before accepting it as authoritative.
Telus is using AI to alter offshore call centre agents' accents in real time to reduce friction. Labour groups have called the practice deceptive and urged regulators to require customer disclosure.
Most users dismiss the first step of a product tour within seconds. Here is why that happens, what users do instead, and the one pattern that actually drives activation.
tilt moves the pen — vertical position picks a violin note (pentatonic, snapped). sound input sets brush size and bow pressure (volume + brightness). camera sets ink color and the violin's tone (warm hues = darker, cool = brighter). connection speed tints the background and sets reverb size — slow & cavernous, fast & dry. Touch the canvas to override the pen.
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on users' devices without consent, violating Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency. The model's environmental cost is significant, with estimated CO2-equivalent emissions ranging from 6,000 to 60,000 tonnes per model push, depending on the number of devices affected.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman testified in a trial about alleged nonprofit mission abandonment, with his personal journal entries being used as evidence. Brockman defended his entries, saying they reflect his commitment to OpenAI's mission and not personal greed.
