Anthropic expanded access to its powerful AI model Claude Mythos to 100 organizations, including governments and companies, to scan for vulnerabilities. The model can identify thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities and a successful attack could affect over 100 million people.
Perplexity Computer introduces Search as Code (SaC), a new reference search architecture that empowers AI models to directly control search operations. SaC exposes the components of the search stack as primitives within an SDK, allowing models to assemble retrieval pipelines tailored to specific requests.
Systemd timers are a modern alternative to traditional cron jobs, offering more flexibility and features such as stdout and stderr output control and calendar versus time span units. They can be configured to run at specific times, intervals, or relative to other events, and provide a clear picture of scheduled tasks with the list-timers subcommand.
QBE 1.3 took a while to cook, but it is the most significant release since 1.0 with around 7k new lines of code and 1.5k deleted ones.

Garnet Chan and his team used classical methods to understand the enzyme nitrogenase, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, and achieved a major breakthrough. This result challenges the idea that quantum computers are necessary to solve complex chemical problems.
The .NET file format's custom attribute storage mechanism is poorly designed, causing significant complexity and performance issues due to its reliance on Fully Qualified Names (FQNs) and lack of deduplication. This design choice is unnecessary and inefficient, especially considering the existing database system for storing metadata references efficiently.
My memory is legendary in the family, and though it’s wearing thin now, getting patchy in places, I still remember when the legend began. It was the fall of 1959, when I was five, and we had just gotten home from a year of travel in Italy, with stays in Perugia, Florence, and Rome. My father was a scientist at Columbia back then, and the trip was his first sabbatical. He was finishing a book ...
Self-hosted session replay built on S2. Each session is stored as one S2 stream, and that stream is the whole backend — there's no separate database, message bus, object store, or search index. Because an S2 stream can be tailed as it's written, RePlaya can replay a session live, while the visitor is still on the page, as well as play back finished ones. Add the recorder snippet to ...
The value of cash in circulation is rising sharply worldwide, but no one knows where most of it is or what it's used for. Money laundering is a massive, largely invisible industry, with estimates suggesting it's worth between $2-5 trillion annually.
Larry Ellison predicts a future with AI-driven surveillance, where citizens adjust behavior due to increased monitoring. This vision raises concerns about a Big Brother-like society, echoing George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
