Linus Torvalds released the 7.3 kernel, a record-breaker with 18,765 non-merge commits from 3,021 developers. The merge window for 7.4 opens tomorrow and will be unusual due to the author's vacation schedule.
We can build Hybrid Reasoning Agents that bridge latent reasoning and text-based interaction, enabling efficient agentic capabilities. These agents improve performance by 10.4% while reducing tokens, inference time, and costs compared to existing LLM agents and frameworks.

The enormous advance in AI capabilities is driven by the availability of vast amounts of training data, with recent advances being largely due to scale. Researchers are now working on gathering large amounts of robot task training data to improve robotic capabilities.
The author claims Autodesk trademarked "cyberspace" and William Gibson retaliated by trying to trademark "Eric Gullichsen", but this is a disputed story. The actual reason for Gibson's objection was Timothy Leary's prank, which was later exaggerated into accepted history.
User is frustrated with a complex system, wanting more detailed analytics and control over their data. They want to own their infrastructure and application visibility, rather than relying on a paid subscription service.
Flatpak is a containerization technology for Linux desktops, improving security and consistency. It allows developers to create isolated applications with limited access to the host system, mitigating risks associated with outdated dependencies and traditional packaging methods.
Good products are shaped by the people who make them, reflecting their experience and perspective. Without a shared understanding and unified point of view, software can become a collection of features without character or soul.
tmux is a tool for running long-running processes in detachable sessions that survive disconnection, allowing multiple agents to be run simultaneously. tmux can be scripted from outside and its commands are available even when the session is detached.
The author shares their experience of building a software project with an agent, which was slow and required constant approval. They then created Superlite, a plugin that automates the process by splitting tasks into parallel runs and enforcing rules with code.
The user has finished the "b" version of the LT6502, a retro console with improved specs such as a thinner design and higher resolution screen. The new model lacks an expansion slot but features a faster processor, IPS screen, and WiFi modem, while also requiring improvements in areas like battery life and sound quality.
Researchers tested 70 dogs' reactions to sounds associated with round and spiky shapes, finding they looked at the correct shape when hearing its sound. The study suggests dogs may have a universal connection between visual and auditory information like humans do.
The µRepRap is a 3D printer designed to achieve micron-scale fabrication using common materials, with the goal of advancing microelectronics and MEMS technology. It aims to replicate the capabilities of desktop fabrication on a smaller scale, enabling inexpensive and rapidly-evolving equipment for biological sciences and microelectronics.
The HOL Light theorem prover can be difficult to get started with. While the manual is fairly detailed and comprehensive, the large amount of background information that has to be absorbed before the user can do anything interesting is intimidating. Here we give an alternative ‘quick start’ guide, aimed at teaching basic use of the system quickly by means of a graded set of examples. Some ...
Users have explored various creative and practical applications of DNS, including displaying lyrics, ASCII art, and even music through reverse-DNS lookups. These experiments showcase the versatility of DNS beyond traditional name resolution.
The US is rebuilding and recasting its munitions industrial base to counter modern high-intensity wars, with a focus on precision and attrition. The Pentagon plans to significantly grow stocks of proven missiles and interceptors by 2031.
The Free Pascal Compiler and Lazarus IDE now support dynamic packages, allowing users to create and install components, controls, and extensions in seconds. This feature enables plugin systems for native Pascal classes and types through dynamic package libraries.
This is a Cloudflare server that links to WhatsApp, allowing users to access their chat history and messages. The server stores the data in a SQLite database and can be accessed through various tools, including an agent.
Students on a British Design History course explored the overlooked historical significance of urine in various industries. They examined how urine, known as "lant," was collected and used for processes like gunpowder making and tanning.

Hagens Berman has filed a class-action lawsuit against Verisign and ICANN for allegedly maintaining an illegal monopoly over .com domain names, charging consumers up to $13.44 by 2030. The lawsuit claims Verisign's prices are excessive and funded by fees extracted from a captive customer base, with no alternative supplier available to consumers.
The author designed an esoteric programming language called KillSwitch to test LLMs' ability to understand and write code, exploiting their weaknesses such as letter counting and safety guardrails. The results of benchmarking major LLM models show varying performance, with some performing better than others.
Postgres DELETE can be used at scale with the right optimizations, despite its reputation for being slow. By tuning cache and index performance, deletes can be made faster and more efficient.
The author discusses a novel approach to borrow checking in programming languages, where the safety check is performed in reverse. This allows for more efficient and accurate memory safety checks, particularly when dealing with complex data structures and loops.
Java 17 introduced sealed classes to explicitly list allowed sub-types, enabling exhaustiveness checking and compile-time safety guarantees. However, adding a new sub-type can break consumers of the code unless everything is recompiled together.
A Broadcom 802.11 vulnerability has been present since 2010, affecting dozens of vendors and millions of devices worldwide, allowing for remote code execution and information disclosure. The vendor was aware of the issue but refused to assign a CVE or publicly disclose it until now, leaving many OEMs without patches.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Max) is a high-intelligence model with fast processing and reasonably priced, scoring 45 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, above average among open weight models of similar size.
