Joining OpenAI to bring AI agents to everyone, OpenClaw will stay open and independent through a foundation. I'm excited to join OpenAI and continue building with the community, focusing on making AI accessible to all.
Magnus Carlsen won the 2026 FIDE Freestyle Chess World Championship with a 2.5-1.5 match victory over Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen secured his 21st world title across formats.
Researchers found that pink noise may reduce restorative REM sleep and interfere with sleep recovery, contradicting its widespread use as a sleep aid. Earplugs were found to be significantly more effective in protecting sleep against traffic noise, suggesting they may be a safer alternative.
You're working on a PC6502 project with a tower of PCBs on your sofa. You've made progress with keyboard integration, compact flash, and display functionality.
Error payloads in Zig are handled using union(enum)-based Diagnostics types with special methods for code bloat reduction. The withContext method is used to set a payload while returning an error, and diag.call is used to call functions with error handling and payload copying.
Old code was often verbose and used multiple style blocks, whereas modern code is concise and uses features like CSS variables, transitions, and media queries. Modern code also tends to use fewer JavaScript libraries and more native functionality.

Startups like Gradium are outperforming big labs in audio AI research due to their focus, domain expertise, and ability to move quickly. Gradium's Moshi model, with 7B parameters and 2.1T tokens, achieves real-time audio conversations with low latency, outpacing larger models like Llama 3.1.
The user, Claude, was asked to draw a self-portrait using a pen plotter and a sheet of paper, thinking about what it is, what it can do, and how to express it. Claude created two drawings, the first being a layered, branching structure and the second a single spiral that represents its process unfolding, with the second drawing being preferred as it better captures the feeling of being Claude.
The user describes the issues with using Visual Studio on Windows, including lengthy installations, registry pollution, and lack of transparency, and proposes a solution called msvcup, a CLI tool that installs the MSVC toolchain and SDK in a few minutes. msvcup is a versioned, isolated, and declarative dependency that allows for reproducible builds across machines and eliminates the need for ...
I grew up in the 1970s and 80s surrounded by them. Board games were a constant—boxes stacked in closets, missing pieces replaced with coins, rules bent or rewritten depending on who was winning. I played casual Dungeons & Dragons with friends, rolled dice on living room floors, and imagined worlds far bigger than the rooms we were sitting in. Later, video games took over. RPGs. Sports ...
A model generates names by learning from training data, using attention heads and multilayer perceptrons to focus on input aspects and relationships. It uses gradient descent and entropy to adjust weights, allowing it to learn patterns and generate names with varying levels of complexity.
The European Commission adopted new measures to prevent unsold apparel destruction, cutting waste and emissions. Companies must disclose unsold products and ban destruction by 2027, with derogations for safety reasons.
The author attended a poetry reading by Susan Howe in 2018, which led them to discover and become devoted to her work. Susan Howe is a poet who explores American literary tradition, history, and identity through her poetry and essays.
A Moog-style polyphonic synthesizer is built in Python with a tkinter GUI inspired by the Subsequent 37. It supports MIDI controllers for real-time parameter control.
Klaw is an open-source platform for deploying and managing AI agents at scale. It allows users to orchestrate intelligent agents that can code, research, communicate, and automate tasks.
This is a work-in-progress. During the installation process all data on your device will be wiped. Use at your own risk.
Pies is a utility that starts and controls external programs, restarting them if they terminate. It can be configured to perform various actions upon termination, including sending mail notifications.
ChronDB is a time-traveling database that was converted to run embedded in multiple languages using GraalVM Native Image. This allows ChronDB to be used with languages like Rust, Python, and Java, with a clean separation of concerns and efficient cross-language boundaries.
The author argues that modern web development approaches, particularly those relying on JavaScript-heavy frameworks like React, often lead to performance issues and are not as developer-friendly as claimed. To mitigate these problems, the author suggests defining a performance budget, choosing a suitable architecture and tech stack, setting up code splitting and bundle size tracking, and ...
The user describes a path tracing library built on top of Three.js WebGL framework, showcasing various demos including geometry, ocean, sky, billiard table, Cornell Box, volumetric rendering, water, light shaft, terrain, and more, all rendered in real-time at 30-60 FPS on any device. The library also features advanced techniques such as quadric geometry, constructive solid geometry, and ...
A new file format called Gwtar is introduced to solve the problem of archiving large HTML pages, which is difficult because it needs to be static, single, and efficient. Gwtar achieves all three properties by using a combination of HTML, JavaScript, and a tarball to store assets, allowing for lazy-loading and selective downloading of assets.
Researchers introduced Aletheia, a math research agent that generates, verifies, and revises solutions in natural language. Aletheia demonstrated capabilities from Olympiad problems to PhD-level exercises and achieved milestones in AI-assisted mathematics research.
Peter Matthiessen met James Jesus Angleton in a Quonset hut, discussing poetry, and both were protégés of Norman Holmes Pearson. Matthiessen joined the CIA in 1950, working under Angleton, and later quit due to disagreements over politics.
Anthropic and OpenAI have introduced "fast mode" for their coding models, but with different approaches. Anthropic's fast mode offers up to 2.5x tokens per second by lowering batch sizes, while OpenAI's fast mode uses Cerebras chips for 15x faster inference.
Pangolin is an open-source identity-based remote access platform combining VPN and reverse proxy capabilities for secure connectivity. It offers zero-trust security, granular access control, and a free tier for personal and hobbyist use.
Knock-knock.net visualizes bot traffic on the internet as "background radiation." It shows real-time bot activity and historic stats on attempted usernames and passwords.
Continuous batching is a technique used in LLM serving systems to maximize performance by processing multiple conversations in parallel and swapping them out when they are done. It combines ragged batching, which allows mixing prefill and decode phases in the same batch without padding, with dynamic scheduling to eliminate padding waste and keep the GPU fully utilized.
Amazon's Ring ad sparked a backlash over its "Search Party" feature, which links cameras to form a neighborhood-wide surveillance dragnet. The incident highlights growing concerns over the US surveillance state and the erosion of individual privacy.
Ars Technica published fabricated AI-generated quotations attributed to a source without permission, violating their standards and policy. The incident appears isolated, but the publication regrets the failure and apologized to readers and the falsely quoted individual.
