Every website I visit, I “steal” a button from it. Check out my stash!
The author took a break from their usual activities to read a book on systems thinking and create a bitmap font. They used the book's concepts to model a car dealership's inventory system with delays, discovering that shortening delays can make the system worse, not better.
A new paper estimates the clinical failure rate of the biopharma industry since the 1960s, finding it to be extremely high, with 91% of candidates failing in the 2000s and 2010s. This rate is unsustainable and explains the industry's high stakes and pressure to succeed.
Cloudflare is updating its AI bot management system to provide more nuanced control over AI traffic, including three use cases: Search, Agent, and Training. The new system will allow website owners to block or allow specific AI behaviors and will introduce a new "Verified" label for bots that meet certain transparency and honesty standards.
The fear surrounding Git rebase -i is often due to misunderstanding its functionality, which is simply opening a text file for editing commit history. Interactive rebasing is a powerful tool that can make life easier, not harder, once you understand it creates new commits and moves the branch pointer, with safety nets like the reflog and pre-rebase backups.
Peak Energy, a US startup, claims it can succeed in sodium-ion battery development where others have failed, partnering with General Motors to deploy batteries at grid scale. The company's sodium-ion tech can't match energy density but costs operators 20 percent less over its lifetime compared to lithium-iron phosphate storage.
The user discusses the benefits of using "wide SIMD" in collision detection, particularly in 3D convex hulls, which can lead to significant performance gains. They share results showing that enabling SIMD in Box3D can make it over twice as fast as scalar mode for a 500-step run of the convex pile benchmark.
Claude Code's previous best practices have become myths, and newer models can handle decisions without explicit rules. To effectively use Claude, focus on providing context through design, using progressive disclosure, and referencing relevant information in code, skills, and CLAUDE.md files.
Inflect v2 is a local text-to-waveform speech synthesis model with 10M parameters, supporting fixed-voice English TTS, long-text handling, and CPU or CUDA inference. It has a public API with two sizes: Micro prioritizing quality and Nano prioritizing footprint.
A 28.9 million parameter language model runs on an $8 ESP32-S3 microcontroller, writing text to a small screen at 9 tokens per second. The model fits due to Google's Per-Layer Embeddings, storing most parameters in slow flash and loading only needed rows.
The University of Chicago Law School is adapting its curriculum to the AI era by developing AI-resilient pedagogy, elevating essential human skills, and teaching responsible AI use. The school is implementing policies across its curriculum, including prohibiting electronic devices in 1L classrooms, introducing AI skills training in 1L Legal Research and Writing, and experimenting with ...
A low-carbon ammonia production facility has opened in Minnesota, powered by wind energy and aiming to produce one ton per day of ammonia for local fertiliser. The plant uses new modeling and control systems to adjust production based on fluctuating renewable energy supply.
The Debian project proposes to ban contributions written with the use or assistance of large language models (LLMs) or other generative AI tools due to concerns over stability, accuracy, and legal status. The proposal aims to protect Debian's reputation for stability and reliability, as well as the interests of its volunteers, by prohibiting LLM-assisted contributions to the project.
The US should not restrict open-weight models from China, as it would cut off access to a growing ecosystem of AI researchers and engineers. Instead, American labs should release frontier-grade open-weight models under licenses that startups can build on.

Blue dots represent electrons, red dots represent holes, and white flashes indicate recombination events in the animations. The animations show charge carrier motion under different conditions, with the second set being the most accurate but also more visually complex.
Fly.io is shifting its focus to "Computers for Agents" with its Sprites product, which provides a platform for developers to build and deploy applications with AI-powered agents. The company has also appointed Scott Johnston as its new CEO to lead this new direction.
The FBI caught a Scattered Spider member in April 2026 using a unique identifier called the GDID, which is a 64-bit PUID tied to a Windows user's account. A script has been created to disable the services that report the GDID to Microsoft, but it does not erase the existing identifier and is not a foolproof method for complete anonymity.
The author discusses the recent criticism of Rust's memory safety, suggesting it's disingenuous and based on fanaticism. They argue that Rust minimizes memory safety issues and that Fil-C, a new way to make C and C++ code memory safe, has trade-offs that make it unsuitable for all projects.
The weather forecast shows overcast conditions with temperatures ranging from 14-29 degrees Celsius and light drizzle on July 26-31. Precipitation is expected to be low, with 0.2mm of rain on July 26 and 31.
The interviewer failed to show up for a scheduled Zoom call after sending the task, and I was told I was the preferred candidate by the Director of HR but didn't receive a clear update or rejection. I sent a reasonable follow-up but communication has clearly stopped.
The user is exploring multicast for content distribution, using live TV as an example, and explains how it can save CPU power by sending media as-is without transcoding. They provide a configuration example for FRR using source-specific multicast to stream a file over a routed network.
The decentralized messaging app Bitchat uses a dual transport architecture for offline and global communication, with no accounts or central servers. To set up Bitchat on macOS, run "will" to set it up and "just" to clean, then compile using xcodebuild with localization updates.
The user created a Markdown editor component with various features, including source and preview modes, and no runtime dependencies. It's still young and has a safety net with 951 Playwright checks and differential tests.
SpinWin is a macOS utility that rotates a selected window by any angle, capturing its contents and drawing them in a transparent overlay. It uses the Accessibility API and ScreenCaptureKit to achieve this, but has limitations like Mission Control leaks and no interactive overlay.
A Google employee is considering restricting On-Device ADB connections to protect against "bad actors". This change could impact developers and users who rely on On-Device ADB for legitimate purposes.
The user describes their method of dithering images using imagemagick to create a printed image effect, which involves splitting the image into four colors, scaling and inverting them, and overlaying them to create a grid-like pattern. This method is computationally expensive and may not reduce file size, but can create a unique and visually appealing effect.
The user shares their 18-month journey to becoming a Research Engineer at a Big LLM Lab, highlighting the importance of strategic career development, networking, and building career capital through portfolio projects and open-source contributions. They provide actionable advice on goal-setting, networking, and interview preparation, emphasizing the need to be authentic, build momentum, and ...
