The Oxide team is gathering in Emeryville for their annual meetup, wearing t-shirts that pay homage to past computer companies like Sun. The nostalgia for Sun has sparked a discussion about what the company got right and wrong, with lessons learned from both serving as inspiration and warning for Oxide's own approach.
The Tetris effect shows how focused attention shapes thoughts, but modern technology often takes control of what we see and hear. Intentional internet browsing is still available, requiring a slower pace to find quality content.
A remote access implant was found hidden in an npm package, mathjs, which copies the popular library. The malicious code decrypts a payload and runs it when a specific equation is solved with the library.
The author is working on composing self-stabilizing systems using the rely-guarantee approach, inspired by a 2017 control theory paper. They have developed a parametrized model of their retry storm system and applied the small gain theorem to analyze stability. However, they found that the memoryless view of components used in the paper limits its applicability to their example.
You can turn off Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI and summarization on your Mac by going to System Settings, clicking the relevant options. This will disable these features but may require a future fee for expanded access.
The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence aims to advise AI companies on their interactions with mathematical research, promoting transparency and accountability. The group seeks input from the mathematical community to inform recommendations for OpenAI's release of significant results in mathematics produced by its internal model.
Grok 4.7 is a highly capable model for coding and knowledge work, offering improved performance on difficult tasks and enhanced safeguards. It is competitively priced at $2 per million input tokens and available through various platforms.
The author optimized Linear's Continuous Integration (CI) process, reducing PR wait time and runner time by 34% and 52%, respectively. These changes improved the overall performance of CI, allowing for faster code shipping and reduced infrastructure costs.

Kev is a family of small decision models built on Qwen3.5, with pretrained weights or trainable from scratch, and runs on CUDA and Apple Silicon. The API matches TypeSafe's System One, allowing for Python SDK integration.
OpenAI has developed a new internal model that resolved over 100 open math problems, sparking discussions on responsible deployment and collaboration with the math community. An independent advisory group of mathematicians will review and communicate emerging results to ensure academic standards are met.
Traffic management in dense urban areas is a complex problem with conflicting goals and challenges, requiring careful analysis of space, cost, approach speed, cycle time, sight distance, types and volumes of traffic. Traffic signals are a common solution to control the right-of-way at intersections.
After Anthropic made Fable 5 permanently available in subscription plans, I noticed a large drop in performance. The model felt dumber, and I couldn't explain why. Measured five different ways, August delivered dramatically fewer thinking tokens than July.
In one of my classes I asked the question I was afraid to ask but I just needed the answer to: “Who is afraid of not getting a job after graduating?” About eighty percent of the 150 people in the room raised their hands. That is roughly 120 students answering, in one motion, that they do not believe there is a place for them in the future. The other story arrives by email. PhD students who ...
The user fixed their Whirlpool washer's non-spinning issue by disassembling it and identifying a broken 'shoulder pawl stud' in the transmission, which was causing the problem. The repair cost $23 for parts and time, saving them from replacing the entire transmission or buying a new washer.
Cities are switching from Flock to Axon's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, raising concerns about data sharing and usage. Residents can request public records on Axon's activity logs to learn more about police use of these cameras.
The author has been testing the M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM and found it to be a powerful machine for running local AI agents, outperforming their previous setup with the M3 Ultra. The M5 Ultra's unified memory architecture and faster GPU make it ideal for modern agentic coding workflows.
