Researchers created a new benchmark to test AI safety in complex tasks with performance incentives. The results show that even top AI models exhibit outcome-driven constraint violations, highlighting the need for more realistic safety training.
Discord is rolling out global age verification starting next month, setting users to a "teen-appropriate" experience unless they verify as adults. Verified users will have access to age-restricted servers and channels, while unverified users will face content filters and restrictions.
A Rust implementation of Mistral's Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime model runs client-side in a browser tab via WASM + WebGPU. The model can transcribe audio files and microphone recordings with optional left padding to handle speech content in the prefix.
This is a C implementation of the Voxtral Realtime 4B model's inference pipeline with zero external dependencies. It provides a streaming API for real-time transcription.
The color of the sky is determined by the scattering of photons by small molecules in the atmosphere, with blue photons being scattered more than others due to their resonant frequency with nitrogen and oxygen molecules. The sky appears blue because of this scattering, and its color can change depending on the presence of other particles or gases in the atmosphere.
A project uses a WEMOS D1 Mini ESP8266 module and Arduino sketch to display local time on an analog quartz clock, automatically adjusting for daylight savings time. The ESP8266 stores clock hand positions in EERAM and retrieves them after power interruptions, allowing the clock to resume accurately.
Researchers used hard-braking events as a leading indicator of crash risk, finding a statistically significant positive correlation between HBE frequency and crash rates in California and Virginia. This high-density signal can identify high-risk locations even without long-term collision history, enabling targeted engineering interventions.
Particle physicists face a crisis as the Large Hadron Collider's data matches the Standard Model, leaving no new physics to be found. Despite this, researchers are exploring new ideas, such as the Future Circular Collider and muon colliders, and turning to theoretical studies like amplitudeology.
LiftKit solves visual issues with button icons by dynamically adjusting padding and whitespace. It offers customizable components with a unique harmony based on the golden ratio.
The Ferrari Luce's interior features a driver-focused design with a three-spoke steering wheel and essential information displayed on a multi-layered binnacle. The car's interface includes a control panel, centre console, and overhead controls, all designed for functionality and intuitive use.
The US needs a secure tungsten supply due to increasing demand from industries like semiconductors and munitions.
The user has been running a Discord server for 4.5 years and is looking for a reliable alternative due to concerns about data loss and the company's business model. They have researched several options, including Signal, Matrix, Rocket.Chat, Zulip, Mattermost, and Discourse, and provide a detailed evaluation of each platform's functionality, safety, and decentralization features.
Relax or experiment with over 500 materials in this falling sand simulator, featuring heat, chemical reactions, density, burning, explosions.
The user has seen significant improvements in Large Language Models (LLMs) over the past year, with models like Opus now able to write 90% of their code. They believe that using the best models available is necessary to fully understand their capabilities and that local models will eventually catch up and become the norm.
Let's Encrypt will issue server-only certificates by default from February 11th, potentially breaking server-to-server connections in XMPP. Prosody will accept these certificates, but other servers may not, causing federation issues.
The History of UHF Television website was created to document the history of UHF television stations that went dark. It was founded by Clarke Ingram and features a list of stations, articles, and galleries.
Designers often treat icons as a solution to cognitive load but they actually increase it due to high spatial frequency and visual entropy. Using icons in data-heavy products forces the brain to decode intricate shapes, creating a "cognitive tax" that users pay every time they scan the table.
Promethee loads script.js from the boot volume and runs it. That script is your bootloader. If you can do it with UEFI services, you can do it in JavaScript. Your entrypoint is script.js. The run target copies it to the UEFI FAT volume as \script.js.
The author is building a wall-mounted polargraph machine called the Generative Pen-trained Transformer (GPenT) to create art on their apartment walls, using a combination of hardware and software components. The machine will be controlled by a Raspberry Pi and a web interface, and will be able to generate art using various algorithms, including a text-to-gcode model and a Gemini instance that ...
Foundations: Games, Rationality, and Traps In organizations, strategies and execution are interdependent. Outcomes depend not just on what you do, but on what others do, and what they expect you to do. Game theory begins where individual optimization ends. While formal solutions rarely exist for real-world situations, the framework is useful for pattern recognition at…
Large Language Models have evolved rapidly, replacing traditional programming tools like Stack Overflow. Historically, similar advancements in computing led to the development of simplified programming languages like FORTRAN and COBOL, democratizing access to technology.
The user shares their experience and best practices for generating C code from other languages, focusing on avoiding undefined behavior, using static inline functions, and explicit type conversions. They also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of generating C code, including its limitations in handling stack management, side tables, and source-level debugging.
The author is trying to define the term "async agent" and finds that existing definitions are vague or incorrect. They propose that an async agent is not inherently async, but rather depends on how it's used, and that the real async agents are the event loops that manage concurrent execution.
GitHub's Status Page - Incident with Issues, Actions and Git Operations.
The version compatibility problem in software development arises from the fact that multiple versions of code and data coexist simultaneously, making it difficult to ensure correctness and compatibility across different versions. This problem is particularly challenging in distributed systems, event-sourced systems, and temporal databases, where the version compatibility issue is not just a ...
A Game Boy Advance emulator can implement audio enhancement to reduce aliasing and noise by using its own interpolation algorithm to resample audio channels' sample rates directly to the emulator's audio output sample rate. This approach can produce higher-quality results than accurate emulation and works with any GBA game, though quality can vary by game.
A rise in oil tanker and commercial ship abandonment worldwide is attributed to geopolitical instability, supply chain disruptions, and the growth of "shadow fleets" with obscure ownership and poor maintenance. This has left thousands of merchant sailors, including those on a Russian oil tanker, without pay, food, and basic necessities, with many facing health and safety risks.
Users are working on various projects including a color palette tool, a language learning app, a daily puzzles website, an AI-based time tracker, and more. They are also experimenting with new technologies such as auxetic geometries, data visualization, and AI-powered code review tools, and seeking feedback and advice from others in the community.
The topic of checkpoint tuning is frequently discussed in many blogs. However, I keep coming across cases where it is kept untuned, resulting in huge wastage of server resources, struggling with poor performance and other issues. So it’s time to reiterate the importance again with more details, especially for new users. A checkpoint is a point-in-time at which PostgreSQL ensures that ...
Scientists struggle to study microbe details due to tough cell walls and expensive technologies. Expansion microscopy, using a hydrogel found in diapers, inflates samples for clearer images on basic microscopes.
