Bitchat is a decentralized messaging app using Bluetooth mesh networks, no internet required. It provides censorship resistance and infrastructure independence.
Radboud University will issue Fairphones to employees from 1 February 2026 for sustainability and cost efficiency reasons. Employees can also use their own devices or reissued Samsung phones, but will not be reimbursed for personal phone costs.
A new phone called Jolla has a physical privacy switch that disconnects the microphone, camera, and Bluetooth, giving users control over their data. The phone runs on Sailfish OS 5, a clean and open-source Linux operating system that prioritizes user privacy and control.
A$AP Rocky's music video Helicopter features volumetrically captured human performances rendered as dynamic splats. The team used a 56 camera RGB-D array and Evercoast's system to record over 10 terabytes of raw data, allowing for radical freedom in post-production.
Engineers can increase leverage by delegating tasks to agents with automated feedback, allowing them to work on longer horizon tasks. Building back pressure through tools like type systems, error messages, and UI rendering helps agents identify mistakes and align with tasks.
Compound interest grows money exponentially over time, calculated on both principal and previous interest. Starting early and frequent compounding can significantly increase earnings over decades.
The author of an open-source project on HackerNews was accused of using AI-generated code and comments, but their responses seemed suspiciously AI-generated as well. This incident led the author to question the authenticity of online interactions and the prevalence of AI-generated content on the internet.

The AT protocol is a system that allows social apps to store and manage user data as files in a decentralized filesystem, enabling users to switch between apps and maintain control over their data. The protocol uses a combination of domain names, decentralized identifiers, and a registry to create permanent links to user data that survive hosting and handle changes.

A self-sanitizing door handle uses photocatalytic technology and blacklight to clean and sterilize surfaces, minimizing infection risk. It's a unique, durable design that can be installed in public areas like shopping malls, hotels, and hospitals.
The user explores SIMD paradigm with AVX-512, achieving 4x speedup over scalar code and 2x over auto-vectorized code for K-Means algorithm. They conclude that explicit SIMD is suitable for modern hardware and development workflows, especially with the help of LLMs for code generation.
The Code-Only paradigm simplifies agent design by forcing the agent to produce executable code, making it more trustworthy and repeatable. This approach enforces guarantees and precision, ideal for computable tasks, and blurs the line between prompting and programming an agent.
Gladys Mae West was an American mathematician who contributed to the development of satellite geodesy models and the Global Positioning System (GPS). She was inducted into the US Air Force Hall of Fame in 2018 and received the Prince Philip Medal in 2021.
Steve Yegge published "Welcome to Gas Town," an introduction to his AI agent orchestration tool, which was met with mixed reactions due to its scale and new language. A decoder was created to explain the tool's terms, including project, inbox, mayor, worker, fixer, maintenance, and persistent worker agents.
aws-doctor is a Golang tool that diagnoses cost anomalies, detects idle resources, and provides proactive analysis of AWS cloud infrastructure. It automates routine checks to help users understand where money is going and what can be cleaned up.
mTOTP is a manual time-based authentication protocol for humans, computed without electronic devices. It uses a secret key, substitution box, and diffusion to generate OTPs for future times with intentional authentication time.
The UN head António Guterres criticized the US for acting with impunity and disregarding international law. He called for UN reform to tackle global challenges and limit veto powers in the Security Council.

At least 21 people have been killed in a high-speed train crash in southern Spain, with over 30 seriously injured. The incident occurred when a train derailed and collided with another, with the cause still unknown.
Claude Code uses sandbox-exec for OS X users and supports network isolation and proxies to limit access to host. It can perform actions with network access and data, but using proxies and fine-grained permissions can prevent API key exposure.
A human team on Chelicer 14d discovers giant, mechanical "death-fleas" that destroy their weather station and kill a team member. The team recommends eradicating the creatures, which are threatening their agricultural operations, and their bosses agree, deploying drones to wipe them out.
Goliad County sheriff Roy Boyd used a discarded receipt and AI-powered surveillance tool Tangles to track a human smuggling suspect, but critics say the tool poses major risks to civil liberties. Tangles allows warrantless device tracking, raising concerns about police abuse and erosion of constitutionally protected rights.
Kafka's head-of-line blocking causes latency when one consumer is slow, unlike beanstalkd which serves jobs to available consumers. An experiment showed Kafka took double the time to process 100 messages compared to beanstalkd due to head-of-line blocking.
