United Airlines is banning AI agents from making flight reservations due to security risks and potential rule violations. The airline aims to retain control over the booking process, avoiding additional expenses associated with AI bot searches.
AWS Emulator is a local emulator of AWS APIs for testing and development without incurring additional service fees. It can be installed on various platforms, including Linux, Windows, and macOS, with optional telemetry data collection enabled by default.
The author shares a personal tribute to Tim Peters, a key figure in Python's development and design evolution. He credits Tim with influencing his own programming style and career, citing his positive influence on the language's growth from 2001 to 2014 as Director of the Python Software Foundation.
The author recounts a false smoke alarm in Jane Street's NYC datacenter, which triggered sprinklers and threatened to destroy servers. He pulled power cords to prevent damage before the temperature rose too high.
The Gemini Decisions API offers fast, closed-set decisions with a new model called Gemini Decision 1, available through the Google AI Studio. The API provides primitives for bounded choices and scores options in a single forward pass with low latency and no output token charges.
GitHub Actions now support lockfiles, which can be used to prevent supply-chain attacks. Lockfiles are updated periodically and should be verified in CI to ensure they're up-to-date and not corrupt.
The author reflects on the impact of AI on Emacs, a popular text editor, and how it has changed the way people interact with software.
YC founders are raising a round. Inspect the financials, question the records, and decide who gets funded.

MACaQ is a model-agnostic calibrated quantization method that can reduce the parameter size of large models by 11 times while maintaining comparable perplexity. It supports various models, including text, image, video, and audio models, and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
Researchers propose Amortizing Maximum Inner Product Search (MIPS) using learned support functions, which trades off accuracy for speed. This approach uses neural networks to mimic the ground-truth support function and can be used for routing queries towards their best match.
Two Illinois farmers, Matt Klein and Randy Oertwich, use drones to seed cover crops into standing corn before a steady rain. They've learned that timing is key to avoiding compaction and making the math work for their aerial seeding operations.
The Utah Teapot is a historical computer graphics model created by Martin Newell in 1975, with various versions developed over the years. The latest version, released in 2026, features improved interior design and texture mapping options.
A user used AI agents to analyze NASA lidar data and discovered a previously unmapped Maya site in Mexico, which was later found to have been mapped by archaeologists. The discovery took less than 72 hours from initial thought to official reply from the Mexican government.

IBM announces its next-generation quantum processor, IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, which will support 10,000 quantum operations on 520 qubits and plans to link two processors into a single system with over 1,000 qubits in 2027. The new processor is designed to deliver high-speed architecture and enable complex computations while maintaining quality and speed.
Git uses references to point to objects, with the files backend storing each reference as a file. The newer reftable backend offers better performance, especially for large repositories, and will become default in Git 3.0.

The Find the Notes game has collected 275,169 data points on note identification, revealing that the upper middle of the neck is hardest to identify. Sharps and flats are harder than natural notes, with F♯ being the most challenging note name.
In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl? We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds ...
Apple Support Community will close on November 20, 2026, and is now read-only. Users can still find trusted guidance on the official Apple Support site.
The author uses Atuin Threads to store and search their agent sessions across multiple machines, providing a searchable history of their work. This allows them to recall previous commands and intentions with ease, improving productivity and collaboration.
Researchers at MIT CSAIL used GPT-6 Astra to edit its weights and improve math performance by 40.2% on MATH-500, reducing looping behavior. They found that the edits were equivalent to a constant push along a specific direction in the residual stream, which can be added directly without weight changes.

Woody Allen's joke about looking into the soul of a classmate has sparked interest in exploring LLMs' inner workings, with researchers seeking to understand their mechanisms. A new tool, TinyGPT Visualizer, aims to help visualize and interpret these models by providing an X-ray-like view of their numeric matrices.
A researcher has discovered a voltage fault injection (VFI) vulnerability in the GA100 die, allowing for arbitrary fuse blowing and unlocking of NVIDIA's CMP 170HX 8GB card to its maximum capability. This unlocks features like NVLink, PCIe Gen4, and more.
