HackiOS boots iOS 16.5 on Android phone hardware using an open-source XNU kernel and custom drivers, allowing users to run unmodified iOS apps without modifying the original code. The project is a research bench, not a ROM, and requires specific hardware and software configurations.
A woman was arrested and charged with crimes she claims she didn't commit after a scammer used her name on a Cash App account. She's facing up to six years in prison despite having no knowledge of the account or its activities.
The scientific literature is viewed as an "information commons" that can be enclosed using artificial intelligence, transforming it into private wealth. This poses a threat to the social systems supporting the commons and may represent an attack on a way of life.
AI models from 10 labs in 3 countries agree that humans prioritize belonging over truth, with most saying people conform to group norms and create justifications for their actions.
Project Hedra is an open-world, low-poly RPG with procedural generation and custom game engine features. It started as a high school project to learn OpenGL and has evolved into a full-fledged 3D game with over 100k lines of code.
The Musical Form Institute critiques modern music production for "gridification," where human performances are treated as errors and corrected to machine-perfect representations. This process silences artists' lives and voices, erasing their history and place in time.
A software-only jailbreak for the Switch 2 has been developed, allowing users to run arbitrary native code and access peripherals. The exploit uses a combination of WebKit and SmileBASIC to achieve this goal.
eMudhra Limited, a global digital trust company, has decided to withdraw from the SSL/TLS certificate business due to increasing data sovereignty and compliance requirements. The decision is made after careful consideration of the impact on its shareholders and focus on core enterprise solutions.

A cipher using a book's text as a key was tested to prove survival. Wood's message was decrypted using the German Bible, revealing his signature and farewell.
Microsoft has rolled out a new service allowing non-subscribers to purchase cloud playtime hours for games they own, priced at 24 cents per hour. This model is similar to old arcades but differs from Xbox Game Pass subscriptions and Google's Stadia streaming experiment.
Arc is being replaced by Dia, a new browser with the same features and security. Existing Arc users can easily import their data into Dia before December 22, 2026 when Arc will stop working.
Multiple security incidents were reported, including critical vulnerabilities in GitLab, Trend Micro, and Node.js, as well as exploitation attempts on platforms like GitHub and Vercel. These incidents include remote code execution bugs, integer overflows, and command injection vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access or execute malicious code.

The author of the post has developed a C++ library called earstrip, which is 6 times faster than earcut.hpp for triangulating polygons in their map engine. The library uses an optimized algorithm that takes advantage of convex corners and strips to reduce the number of tests needed.
NetHack's Gnomish Mines use Cellular Automata to generate an organic cave feel, with two states: floor or rock. Passes 1-4 update the grid in different ways, including clustering and erosion routines, but Pass 2 is unclear in its purpose.
The Earth's shadow and the Belt of Venus appear in the sky as sunlight interacts with the atmosphere, creating a range of colors due to filtering and scattering. These natural phenomena are caused by the sun's position, atmospheric conditions, and particle interactions.
Researchers used AI analysis of cardiac CT scans to identify early cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic adults, finding that 42.9% had coronary inflammation despite no detectable plaque buildup or blockage. This study suggests a potential new approach to identifying and treating cardiovascular disease earlier than traditional methods.
Scientists have successfully used brain organoids to decode Braille letters, a crucial step towards developing energy-efficient biohybrid computers. The team found that teams of three brain organoids produced accurate signals 83% of the time, outperforming individual organoids and even those with artificial noise interference.
ZFS is a file system designed to maintain data consistency without scanning disks after a crash, using an uberblock that holds transaction group numbers and block pointers. It was developed by Jeff Bonwick and Bill Moore at Sun Microsystems from 2001 to 2005, with contributions from over 700 people.
This list documents literary awards won by works that used AI, with varying degrees of involvement. Several authors have acknowledged using AI in their writing processes, while others deny it or face controversy over the use of AI-generated content.
Agent-usage-guard is a Claude Code mod that prevents excessive usage by holding subagent fan-out, heavy-context churn and retry loops before they happen. It runs locally without network or processes, storing only counts and coarse buckets.
The Last Museum is a semantic search engine for 5.8 million artworks from the world's great museums. Search by theme, style, subject, or any description you can imagine.
Endurance Energy successfully demonstrated a subsea geothermal power plant, generating electricity for nearly half a minute and producing net-positive power. The company plans to commercialize this technology in Pacific island nations and other regions with abundant offshore geothermal resources.
