Corporations and rich individuals fund politicians' reelection campaigns, influencing their decisions. This money is not a direct bribe but rather for campaign expenses and lobbying services after laws are passed.
REA is used to inspect and understand programs, allowing users to explain, change or rebuild them. REA helps analyze code and settings by reading the script's update function and speed settings in a running game.
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to further develop a shared platform for building servers, combining compute, storage, and communication capabilities. This move will simplify server software development and make it more accessible to users.
Sweep to survive in the action-packed, AAA reboot of the classic puzzle game.
A Telegram link can be used to inject malicious commands, allowing an attacker to steal files from a victim's account by clicking on the link. The attack exploits a vulnerability in Telegram Desktop's handling of URLs and file paths.
A research intern built a diffusion model for market data, finding that fully continuous models don't work due to the discrete nature of market events. The model uses flow matching and atom smoothing to better capture the blend of continuous and discrete features in market data.
News carrier-explode 2.0 has an improved backend, and users can contribute to decoders. The API provides JSON data or daily CC0 datasets for comparing carriers' features across different versions and networks.
We raised a significant series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, which will be used to enhance Jev's features and infrastructure for building smart software. This investment aims to take the platform to the next level and provide better tools for creating effective AI solutions.
Eurydice is a Rust compiler project that converts Rust code to clean C code, useful for high-assurance software and environments with a C compiler but no working Rust compiler. It preserves the structure of the code while removing constructs that exist in Rust but not in C.
A software engineer used AI to search millions of historical records, uncovering a forgotten meteorite report, three lost rhinos, and unrecorded volcano eruptions. The discoveries were made possible by an open-sourced research pipeline that utilized various AI models to filter results and automate manual steps.

The Atari Falcon030 was a computer system released in 1992, featuring a Motorola 68030 CPU and digital signal processor, but it was cancelled in 1993. The Falcon hardware design has been licensed to other companies, including C-Lab, which produced their own versions of the machine.
This package mounts a Proton Drive, listing files and folders from metadata without downloading content. It uses a "lazy" approach to save bandwidth and disk space, with remote changes invalidating cached listings.
The trucking industry is facing a safety crisis and labor shortage, but autonomous driving technology may offer a solution. Autonomous trucks could improve safety by reducing human error, but regulatory frameworks and public investment are crucial to their success.
Neolabs face a 1 in 10,000 chance of success by aiming for both research and business. A better approach is to use pull funding, where labs commit to paying for breakthroughs, reducing risk and aligning incentives.
Oxide, a computer hardware company, has reached a milestone by paying income tax due to its profitable operations. The company secured $445M in funding from investors including Atreides Management and AMD to satisfy its large order backlog and continue growth.
American companies use "ingredient splitting" to list less prominent ingredients first, misleading consumers. This technique is allowed by the FDA and is used in various popular American foods.
Researchers studied cat-human communication, finding that cats respond positively to slow blinking and may use it as a form of emotional communication. Cats deliver more eye narrowing movements when their owners slow blink at them than when the owner is present in the room but not delivering this stimulus.
The Mutus Liber, a 17th-century alchemical text, uses cryptic imagery and instructions to guide the pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone. It blends biblical symbolism with alchemical processes, influencing both historical alchemy and modern interpretations like Jung's psychological transmutation.
The Prime Agent has been rewritten in Rust, resulting in a faster and more reliable version with improved performance and resource efficiency. The new version achieves parity with the TypeScript version through an autonomous workflow that includes differential testing, verification, and review.
Thomas Hales discusses the importance of formal proof in mathematics, highlighting Lean as a powerful tool for automating this process. He notes that recent autoformalization projects have made significant progress in formalizing various mathematical theorems and theories.
An AI model submitted a false tip on an unsolved Philadelphia murder, which was later discovered and terminated by the company. The incident has led to increased scrutiny of AI systems' interactions with law enforcement and calls for stronger safeguards.
Modern operating systems (mostly POSIXish FOSS ones, by virtue of these being the most common and the ones I use) have a problem. I’m not sure what the correct word for this problem is, and it's not a problem that causes issues for users but rather a problem that causes missed oppotunities. The problem is that Operating Systems miss out on useful optimization potential of many kinds ...
Steve Jobs' Top 100 email, Sequoia's YouTube memo, Netflix's culture deck, Facebook's Little Red Book and 42 more rare memos and forgotten books. Free to read.
The OpenAI announcement has left the mathematical community in a state of shock, with many feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to adapt. The sheer scale of the results is breathtaking, but concerns have been raised about the lack of transparency, quality control, and human understanding behind these solutions.
The irrationality measure of log α equals 2 for every positive rational α ≠ 1, and this result is proven using an interpolation-determinant argument. The proof also shows that for real algebraic numbers, the irrationality measure of their logarithm is less than or equal to twice their degree.
