The phyphox team received the Ars legendi-faculty award in 2020 for developing phyphox, an app for academic teaching and physics classes. They also received the teaching award in 2019 from the AG Physikalische Praktika of the German Physical Society.
Pat Gelsinger, former Intel CEO, now at Playground Global, is evaluating startups and investing in companies that can shape the industry. He believes the future of compute will be heterogeneous, combining classical, AI, and quantum systems.
I had some other principles too but I figured no one would read them…. :)
Anthropic silently changed Claude Code's prompt cache TTL default from 1 hour to 5 minutes in early March 2026. This caused a 20-32% increase in cache creation costs and quota consumption for subscription users.
People are increasingly frustrated with the impact of technology, particularly AI, on their lives and are turning to violence against those associated with it. This is a result of feeling desperate and powerless against the effects of technological advancements.
Landauer's principle sets a lower bound on erasing one bit of information, but reversible circuits can still provide practical efficiency gains. Reversible circuits like the Toffoli gate can be used to compute any Boolean function, including NAND, but may require more input and output.
The author, a successful bootstrapper, shares their playbook for running a lean startup with minimal costs. They use a single VPS, statically compiled binaries, and local GPU hardware for AI tasks.
User discusses Claude Shannon and the need to highlight influential intellectual achievements in obscure fields, particularly in humanities and social sciences. They list several foundational achievements in physics, mathematics, and probability theory, and mention areas with potential for future influence.
A US university student is locked out of his iPhone 13 after Apple removed a character from the Czech keyboard in an iOS update. He hopes for a fix in the next update, but may have to restore his device and lose valuable photos.
An automated scanning agent discovered vulnerabilities in eight prominent AI benchmarks, allowing near-perfect scores without solving tasks. The Agent-Eval Checklist provides a minimum bar for robust evaluation, including isolating agents from evaluators and preventing tampering with evaluation data.
Stewart Brand's new book "Maintenance: Of Everything" celebrates learning and fixing things, arguing maintenance drives technological progress. The book draws on historical examples like interchangeable parts and the Industrial Revolution to make its point.
Attached: 1 image 🗓️ Exactly six weeks ago on Saturday 28 February, #Iran fell victim to a regime-imposed internet blackout that remains in place after 1008 hours, now entering day 43. The censorship measure's harms grow daily, damaging livelihoods and violating Iranians' digital and human rights.
The user, an autistic catgirl, argues that supply-chain attacks on crates.io are not solely the responsibility of the registry, but rather of users who must audit the crates they use. They provide suggestions for users to secure their dependencies, including lockfiles, cargo-vet, and sandboxing tools like cargo-chef and firejail.
Anthropic's Mythos AI model is not the only solution for AI cybersecurity as smaller, cheaper models can recover similar analysis and detect vulnerabilities. The capability of AI cybersecurity is jagged and doesn't scale smoothly with model size, with the system and security expertise being more important than the model itself.
Measuring code complexity for humans is challenging as it involves understanding the mental effort required to comprehend the code, which can be influenced by factors such as familiarity with patterns, working memory load, and coherence. Various metrics like Cyclomatic Complexity, Halstead Complexity, and linguistic complexity measures can provide insights, but ultimately, the cognitive ...

Return To Dark Castle is a 2008 Macintosh platform game with 63 levels, including 50 new ones. The game follows Bryant as he fights to defeat the Black Knight and rescue Duncan, the original hero.
Pijul is a free, open-source version control system based on a theory of patches, offering simplicity and scalability. It preserves order and guarantees strong merge properties, modeling conflicts as standard cases.
The unused Saturn/Apollo hardware was distributed to various museums around the country, “relics of the heroic age of manned space flight.”
You worked as a Mac Admin Intern and researched Apple Silicon Virtual Machines limitations. You found the limitation is implemented in the closed-source XNU kernel, not userspace, and can be overridden by setting hv_apple_isa_vm_quota in the kernel.
The Font Awesome team has launched a Kickstarter for Build Awesome, a rebranded version of the static site generator 11ty, which has already reached its funding goal, but many 11ty developers are concerned about the project's direction and potential impact on the open-source community. The rebranding effort has been met with skepticism, with some developers questioning the need for a paid ...
Cirrus Labs joined OpenAI to build tooling for agentic engineers, extending its mission of making engineers more effective. Cirrus Labs will relicense its tools under a permissive license and stop charging licensing fees.
Advanced Mac Substitute is an API-level reimplementation of 1980s-era Mac OS that runs 68K Mac applications in an emulator. It launches directly into an application without a startup phase on POSIX-like systems.
User created pardonned.com to verify claims and easily access pardons data, using Playwright, SQLite, and Astro. They plan to extend the site with analysis and comparison tools to break down pardon composition by President and visualize changes in pardon numbers.
Network flow theory is applied in various fields to model transportation, image segmentation, and other problems. This graduate text presents efficient combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including maximum and minimum-cost flows.
The user created a library called surelock to prevent deadlocks in Rust by using a linear scope token called MutexKey that threads through every acquisition and provides a compile-time witness of the current lock state. The library uses a physical-world analogy where the MutexKey is like a key that is consumed and re-emitted at each lock acquisition, and it also supports incremental ...
HTTP server rendering DOOM frames into ANSI half-blocks, streamed to the terminal over HTTP with cURL. GET / is content-negotiated: a curl gets back play.sh with __SERVER__ rewritten to whichever host you fetched it from. The script runs the per-keystroke /tick loop, handles stty, the alternate screen, the cursor, and cleanup. A browser hitting the same URL gets a tiny landing page that just ...
