The US Department of Justice released a new dataset of 10,593 PDF files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which were analyzed for technical aspects such as PDF syntax, malformations, and redaction effectiveness. The analysis found that while the DoJ correctly redacted the EFTA PDFs in Datasets 01-07, some PDFs in the new dataset contain incorrect and ineffective redactions, and the ...
SpaceX acquired xAI to form a $1.25 trillion company aiming to send data centers into space. However, experts argue this concept is a fantasy due to scalability, upgrade, and cost-effectiveness issues.
The Guinea worm infection is near global eradication with only 10 human cases reported in 2025, down from 3.5 million in 1986. The Carter Center's eradication program uses cash rewards, public education, and safer water practices to prevent transmission.
This is a Ghidra plugin that bridges reverse engineering with AI tools. It requires 14 JARs from Ghidra and can be built with Maven.

The writer feels stuck as a software engineer because they're not using their problem-solving skills as much due to relying on AI for coding. They miss the mental growth and satisfaction from deep thinking.
Craftplan is a business platform for artisanal manufacturing with tools for catalog management, inventory control, and production planning. It supports small-batch production and has features for allergen tracking and BOM versioning.
The user wants to safely run coding agents without access to personal files by using ephemeral Virtual Machines (VMs) on NixOS. They use the microvm.nix project to create VMs with no persistent data, accessible through SSH.
Neil Sloane created the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) in 1964, initially as a collection of sequences on file cards, which has grown to over 260,000 entries. The OEIS is a widely used database for mathematicians, computer theorists, and scientists, and also attracts recreational mathematicians who explore the properties of numbers.
Deno Sandbox provides lightweight Linux microVMs for running untrusted code with defense-in-depth security. It controls network egress, protects secrets, and allows direct deployment to Deno Deploy without rebuilding.
Amateur balloonists use superpressure balloons called pico balloons, which can last months and travel long distances, reporting their position. Pico balloons are inexpensive, lightweight, and use amateur-radio network WSPR for global tracking without satellites.
Agent Skills provide procedural knowledge and context to agents, enabling them to perform tasks more accurately and efficiently. This open standard allows skill authors to deploy capabilities across multiple agents and teams to capture organizational knowledge.
The Thatcher effect shows that brains have trouble recognizing upside-down faces with inverted features. This is due to the brain processing individual features rather than the face as a whole.
French prosecutor's office raided X's Paris office investigating unlawful data extraction and child pornography. Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino summoned to hearings over suspected crimes.
Spritely's Goblins provides a secure, distributed object programming environment with automatic transactions and debugging tools. It allows asynchronous programming against objects from any language, currently supporting two languages.

Xcode 26.3 introduces agentic coding, allowing developers to use coding agents like Claude Agent and Codex for greater autonomy. This feature streamlines workflows, boosts productivity, and enables developers to focus on innovation.
Leibniz said music is the pleasure of counting without knowing it. Western music tuning systems, from Pythagorean to equal temperament, have evolved over centuries with mathematical innovations.
Proof assistants like Isabelle can have bugs, but they are generally reliable. Isabelle's design helps prevent errors, but users must still be cautious.
Keyboard switch technologies include physical contact, optical, electro-magnetic, and capacitive methods, each with pros and cons such as durability, customization, and tactile feedback. Newer hybrid and analog approaches are emerging, suggesting future keyboards will prioritize user experience and input behaviors over sensing methods.
The user created a CLI app to connect directly to a Tor exit node without using the Tor circuit, but found that Tor blocks direct connections to exit nodes. They successfully implemented a Tor relay node, obtained keys, and connected to an exit node, achieving faster speeds than using Tor's circuit.
