Sphinx is a Git hook for agent-assisted development. Before your agent’s code ships, it asks you a question about what that code actually does. Built to run on minimal tokens, from your existing coding agent, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your webhook handler now saves the event ID before calling charge(). Stripe times out and sends the same event again. What happens on the ...

Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the Power To The Players Act to protect consumers by giving them ownership of video games rather than licenses, and requiring publishers to provide offline modes before shutting down servers. This legislation aims to curb anti-consumer business practices such as revocable licenses and aggressive monetization schemes in the gaming industry.
The author attempted to make chicken breast transparent by soaking it in a tartrazine solution, similar to a paper that achieved optical transparency in live animals. The goal is to change the refractive index of water inside the tissue to match its embedded media, making it more transparent and allowing for better imaging.
The C64-hw-sim program simulates the Commodore 64 motherboard at a pin-by-pin level, allowing users to test and diagnose faults without damaging the hardware. It runs on macOS and Linux with OpenGL graphics library and interface library nuklear.
The user's Codex Desktop app is experiencing unbounded local disk growth due to continuous Crashpad dump generation, despite remaining functional. The issue appears to be a background process continuously generating pending dumps without cleanup or rotation.
The US is exporting more gold than usual, with most going to Switzerland and Hong Kong, possibly due to foreign governments' concerns about the dollar's value. This surge in exports may be linked to China's growing gold reserves and its efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar.
The author discusses how large language models can recall obscure facts from every corner of the world, and how this ability is similar to a memory store that holds key-value pairs. The author then develops an intuitive way to look at linear maps, MLPs, and self-attention as different kinds of memory stores.
Vacuula is an all-in-one solution to repair and control broken Neato Robot vacuums. The project supports various models, including Gen4 robots in "rainbow mode" that won't start.
A superoptimizer can find optimal code formulas by brute-force, bypassing human limitations. This approach uncovered a clever formula that reuses subexpressions to reduce operations.
p peas · h headphones · space pause · rings at 5, 10, 20 and 40 m A small flock of mallards going about their day: three hens, two drakes and two broods of ducklings. No recordings. Every quack is synthesized as it happens and heard from where you stand on the bank. I'm wearing headphones
The author learned about Haskell's Kind system while working on a Redis server clone, discovering its ability to classify and manipulate type-level constructs. They built higher-Kinded types (HKTs) using the Wrap and Compose functions, which take other type constructors as arguments, allowing for more expressive and reusable code.
The author shares their experience of the naturalization process in Japan, detailing the lengthy and bureaucratic requirements. They successfully completed the application after multiple attempts and received their citizenship certificate, but were frustrated with some aspects of the system.
Solar and wind power have surpassed nuclear globally, with solar generation leading for the first time in 2025. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report highlights nuclear's slow growth and lengthy construction timelines compared to renewables' rapid expansion.
Estimates for a short prompt on a single device. Measured numbers come from community benchmarks (r/LocalLLaMA, localscore.ai and more); others are derived from similar setups or projected from specs. Open source on GitHub.
This repository provides public access to the Estonian online voting system's source code, which is used for legally binding elections. The actual development is supervised by Estonia's State Electoral Office.
esp32sim is an emulator that runs ESP32 SoCs, including the S3 and C6 models, with unmodified application images. It boots real mask ROMs and 2nd-stage bootloaders without patched firmware or stubs.
The author, a systems administrator, learned about Kubernetes and its components such as control loops, services, workloads and storage. They found the concepts to be sensible and useful for managing resources.
lpviz is an interactive web app for visualizing linear programming solvers. Draw your constraints and objective, and see how methods like IPM, PDHG, Simplex, the Ellipsoid method, and Central Path solve your problem.
