The author used Opus 4.8 to analyze an MRI and got a second opinion on their diagnosis, which disagreed with the original doctor's report. The AI analysis found no partial-thickness tear, contradicting the doctor's diagnosis and making the author question the treatment plan.
The concept of tokenmaxxing, where companies spend large amounts of money on AI tokens without expecting a return, is not dead but rather evolving as companies realize the benefits of compounding correctness, where more tokens spent lead to better results. The shift towards open model platforms and generalist agents will lead to another rise in tokenmaxxing behavior, ultimately resulting in ...
The author visits Pinal Airpark in Arizona to see retired Boeing 747s, once the principal host of important journeys, now a symbol of American decline. The 747 was a technological innovation that embodied American might, invention, and progress, but its accidental longevity defined an era of decline.
The Loongson processor is a Chinese-developed CPU that emerged in 2001, initially based on MIPS architecture, and was later developed into a 64-bit processor. The Loongson processor was used in the Lemote Yeeloong laptop, a low-cost netbook that was released in 2008.
GLM 5.2, an open-weight model, beat Claude Code at IDOR detection with 39% F1, costing $0.17 per vulnerability found. The harness still matters more than the model, but open-weight models have crossed a threshold worth watching for security tasks.

YAGNI is about timing, not thrift, and warns against building speculative structure before a feature is needed. It's about preserving optionality and not committing to costly changes when the future is uncertain.
The Space Shuttle's I/O Processor had 24 network connections and 25 virtual processors, implementing two different instruction sets. It used microcode to run the virtual processors on one physical processor.
Here at ISC 2026 in Hamburg, Germany, we got the 67th TOP500 list where there was a surprise awaiting us. That surprise being a new Number 1 Supercomputer on the TOP500. The new number one Supercomputer on the TOP500 list is the LineShine Supercomputer in Shenzhen, China. This is the first Chinese submission to the TOP500 in 9 years and they came in swinging with a massive CPU-only system. ...

Daisugi, a Japanese technique, involves growing multiple trees from a single tree, creating a giant bonsai-like structure, but it's actually a form of coppicing, a common woodland management technique practiced for centuries. This method produces straight, usable timber without harming the original tree, and it's being re-emphasized as a sustainable way to manage woodlands.
Ford is reviving its quality control by rehiring technical specialists to train younger staff and reprogram AI tools. This move is expected to save the company $1 billion in costs this year.
What feature would you like to see? A mechanism to explicitly mark files/paths that the agent must not read or send to the model, at both repository and global levels (e.g., a repo-local .codexignore plus a global ignore file). Example: ...
A Polish user reported a bug on Medium where Ś wouldn't appear when typed. The issue was caused by Medium blocking CtrlS to prevent browser save dialogs, but Polish users use AltS to type Ś.

The interactive dataset tracks historic and current memory and storage prices, including DRAM, NAND flash, and HBM, with modeled estimates from Epoch AI for AI-accelerator costs. The data is downloadable and includes quarterly updates for HBM and monthly updates for DRAM and NAND prices from 1957 to the present.
Multiple stories are presented, each with a main character facing challenges and obstacles. The stories involve mystery, action, adventure, and romance, set in various locations and time periods.
Dr Patrick Breyer warns of a double-attack on secure messaging in the EU, with President Roberta Metsola pushing for mass surveillance and EU governments rushing a new scanning mandate. Citizens can email EU lawmakers and government representatives through fightchatcontrol.eu to stop this threat.
Scientists have found potential evidence of life on Mars, but no conclusive proof, with the latest discovery being two chemicals formed by microbial activity or chemical reactions. The possibility of life on Mars has been tantalizing humans for over a century, with many previous claims debunked, but new research suggests life could exist underground.
Researchers built a large Ising machine with one million p-bits by networking FPGAs, achieving over a trillion flips per second. The machine's performance depends on a timing ratio of boundary-exchange frequency to local p-bit update frequency.
The KIDS Act package includes bills that require age verification, government-directed moderation, and new rules for private communications. This could lead to restrictive age-checking practices, reduced online privacy, and limited free expression.
Michigan Senate Bill 948, the Workplace Employee Boundaries Act, aims to protect workers from constant availability demands. It would prevent employers from requiring employees to access work-related matters outside assigned hours.
