Terence Tao, a mathematically gifted child, was assessed by the author in 1983 at the age of 7. He demonstrated exceptional mathematical abilities, solving complex problems with ease and showing a preference for non-visual, analytic methods.
User successfully ported libreboot to their X270 laptop, a Kaby Lake model, after overcoming initial issues with a missing capacitor and debugging problems with NVMe and WiFi. With the help of Leah Rowe, the founder of Libreboot, they were able to identify and fix the issues, resulting in a working libreboot installation with GRUB, wireless, and NVMe support.
Regulators are pushing social media platforms to verify users' ages, but this creates a technical problem: collecting personal data to prove age. Platforms are using intrusive verification systems that often conflict with data-privacy laws.
x86CSS is a CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator that runs native 8086 machine code without JavaScript. It can be built and run using Python scripts and GCC, with a custom I/O interface for user interaction.
We are releasing Steerling-8B, a new interpretable model that can trace generated tokens to input context and training data. It achieves competitive performance with significantly less compute and unlocks capabilities like concept control and training data provenance.
Baby chickens make the same sound-shape connections as humans, suggesting the link to human language may not be unique. The study challenges a long-standing theory about the bouba-kiki effect, which may be an innate perceptual bias rather than a learned behavior.
The author is building on their 40-year foundation tool, Wolfram Language, to supplement LLMs with precise computation and knowledge. This integration will make LLMs more powerful by providing deep computation capabilities.
William Shatner is releasing a metal album with an all-star cast of guitarists, including Zakk Wylde and Chris Poland. The album promises massive guitars, cinematic arrangements, and raw emotion, with Shatner hand-picking 35 metal icons for the project.
The user used AI to help port a Linux Wi-Fi driver to FreeBSD, but the process was complicated and messy, so they decided to create a detailed specification of how the driver works and then used the AI to implement it from scratch. The user successfully created a working FreeBSD kernel module for the BCM4350 Wi-Fi chip using the AI, but advises against using it for anything beyond a studying ...
The user argues that the Web and Internet can be decentralized and controlled by individuals and cooperatives, rather than large corporations, by using simpler software and technologies like Markdown and static website generators. By leveraging the abundance of computers and resources, individuals can create their own private networks and connect to the public Internet, mirroring the concept ...
53 AI models failed a simple car wash test, where the correct answer is to drive the car to the car wash because it needs to be there, but most models chose to walk due to the short distance. Only 5 models could reliably answer the question correctly, and even the top-performing model, GPT-5, failed 30% of the time, highlighting the limitations of current AI models in handling simple logic tests.
PgDog is a PostgreSQL proxy that supports connection pooling, load balancing, and sharding, written in Rust for high performance and security. It can manage thousands of connections on commodity hardware and supports various deployment methods, including AWS RDS.
Ladybird is rewriting parts in Rust for better safety guarantees and ecosystem support. The first target was LibJS, Ladybird's JavaScript engine, which was translated from C++ in two weeks with zero regressions.
The author ported Shufflepuck Cafe to the Apple II, a 1979 platform, without losing playability or details. They overcame challenges such as sprite display, mouse handling, and memory limitations.

The author reflects on Rust's adoption at scale, noting that it has crossed the chasm in some areas like data planes and low-level code, but still faces challenges in Safety Critical Software. To further its adoption, the author suggests that Rust needs to adapt to the needs of the early majority, including providing more practical and incremental improvements, and leveraging open-source ...
Iowa farmers are pushing for the Right to Repair bill, HSB 751, which aims to give farmers access to diagnostic tools and software needed to repair their equipment. The bill has a good chance of passing in the Iowa House after advancing in the Agriculture Committee with an 18-5 vote.

Sim Sim is an open-source platform for building AI agents, used by 70,000 developers. The company is seeking a full-stack engineer to lead the Sim platform's visual, end-to-end agent builder.
The Sowbot Open AgBot ecosystem provides a reproducible, lightweight robotics platform for researchers and farmers to reduce labour and environmental impact. It offers a modular, open-hardware agricultural robot with a stable, repeatable environment for experiments and field-ready system.
Live capture may require elevated permissions or OS configuration. Babyshark shows Observed IPs using TLS SNI/HTTP Host hints when DNS answers are not visible.
Sumo wrestlers Hoshoryu and Onosato, a Mongolian and Japanese yokozuna, respectively, faced off in a grand sumo tournament in Nagoya. Their rivalry was significant due to Japan's growing nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment, fueled by the far-right party Sanseito's electoral gains.
Server-side load balancing is simpler and provides a single view of fleet health, but can be a bottleneck at high scale. Client-side load balancing offers sub-millisecond failure detection, but requires distributed health state management and more complexity.

Cheap code writing disrupts traditional engineering habits, requiring new personal and organizational practices. Developers must balance code quality with the speed of agentic engineering tools.
The notation $f(x) = g(x) + O(1)$ means the difference between $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ is bounded by a constant. It implies an upper bound, $f(x) \le g(x) + C$, but not a lower bound.
