Waymo introduces the Waymo World Model, a generative model for hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation. It leverages Google DeepMind's Genie 3 to simulate rare events and enhance road safety.
Vecti is a collaborative UX design tool that allows teams to edit and review designs simultaneously with seamless asset sharing. It offers a free plan, pay-per-editor pricing, and features like high-performance rendering and intuitive interface.
To work effectively with an AI system, document project requirements, specifications, and architecture in detail, including coding standards, best practices, and design patterns. Use standardized formats and visual aids to communicate complex structures and workflows, and develop efficient debug systems to simplify the process for the AI to identify and resolve code issues.
LiteBox is a sandboxing library OS that reduces attack surface by cutting down the interface to the host. It provides a flexible interface for various use-cases and platforms.

Language models are not yet reliable context learners, failing on most tasks despite having access to all required information. Current models rely on parametric knowledge and struggle with inductive reasoning, context length, and complexity.
User created a tool to securely share files with friends using Shamir's Secret Sharing, allowing any 3 friends to recover the file together. The tool provides a simple, self-contained way for friends to collaborate in file recovery.
User is learning about neural networks from basics, focusing on visualization to understand how they work. They explain a simple use case of recognizing handwritten numbers using neural networks with input, processing, and output.
A DevOps engineer left their job after five years to become a Solutions Engineer at Infisical, where they talk to people daily, learn new things, and solve problems. This role combines technical skills with human interaction, providing a sense of fulfillment and challenge.
Apple partnered with Taboola to serve ads in Apple News, but users are seeing scam ads that look like they were generated by AI. The ads are often from recently registered domains, raising concerns about Apple's and Taboola's ad vetting process.
Heroku transitions to sustaining engineering model focusing on stability and security. Customers can continue using Heroku with no changes to pricing, billing, or functionality.
Smooth CLI is a browser for AI agents that uses a natural language interface to simplify tasks. It allows agents to focus on goals rather than low-level actions like clicking buttons.
Configure and run benchmark strategies against the oncology dataset. Edit prompts to experiment with different approaches. See API to run the benchmark yourself and create your own custom strategies.
A deep dive on humanoid robotics hardware and the technology shaping our future
Developers love "bundled" APIs. They offer atomicity and efficiency, allowing you to chain complex state changes into a single network request. Security engineers, however, should fear them. Bundling introduces complexity, and complexity is where the bugs hide. As part of my research at depthfirst, I recently discovered a vulnerability in Temporal’s ExecuteMultiOperation endpoint ...
New York lawmakers introduced the NY FAIR News Act requiring news organizations to label AI-generated content and have humans review it before publication. The bill aims to preserve journalism and protect workers by promoting AI transparency and safeguarding confidential material.
The user discusses implementing the Free monad as a higher-order monad in the category of endofunctors, showing that it is equivalent to lists in this category. They define the HMonad class and make Free an instance of it, demonstrating that Free monads are also free monoids in the category of endofunctors.
UNIX-like/POSIX-compliant operating systems provide atomic operations for thread-safe and multi-process-safe programs without mutexes or locks. These operations include mv -T, link, symlink, open, mkdir, and fcntl, which can be used for file and directory locking, creating new files and directories, and synchronizing access to files.
Caltech researchers invented Sidewinder, a technology to write long DNA sequences with high accuracy. This innovation clears a major bottleneck for bioengineering and could have applications in agriculture and therapeutics.

A Minnesota social program has been plagued by industrial-scale fraud, with some childcare centers having no children present despite reimbursement paperwork, and the state's own investigators believe over 50% of reimbursements were fraudulent. The financial industry has a better understanding of fraud and its prevention, and the government could benefit from adopting similar strategies, such ...
The user learned about DNS propagation and TTL after experiencing issues with their domain not updating, and they now understand how DNS works as a chain of referrals from root servers to TLD servers to authoritative nameservers. They also learned about DNS record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records, and how to use them for subdomains, email delivery, and domain verification.
There are two main software development approaches: gradual evolution of complexity over time and big up-front design with a detailed specification.
Using AI tools like Claude Code has shifted bottlenecks in engineering teams from coding to design and product management. To address this, companies are hiring product engineers who balance traditional PM and design roles, and teams are expected to be smaller with 2-3 engineers per project.
Sonja Trauss, Executive Director of YIMBY Law, is being targeted by a NIMBY complaint to the state bar association for sending letters reminding cities of their housing obligations. She argues that her advocacy work is protected by the First Amendment and that NIMBYs are trying to silence her and other YIMBY groups.
The author argues that LLMs are not similar to compilers because they lack precise semantics and force users to relinquish control over the underlying system, leading to a lack of functional correctness and potentially dangerous laziness in software development. To mitigate this, the author suggests that specification and verification will become the bottleneck and core skill in software ...
The author of tldraw is considering shutting down external contributions due to an influx of low-quality AI-generated pull requests. They argue that code is now easy to write with AI tools, making external contributions less valuable.
Claude Opus 4.6 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering better coding skills, reliability, and safety. It excels in everyday work tasks, including financial analysis, research, and document creation.
The DoJ's latest Epstein archive release has several issues, including censored names, corrupted files, and poor OCR results due to the use of Courier New font and low-quality JPEG scans.
