Belgium will nationalize its nuclear power plants, reversing a 2003 decision to phase out nuclear energy by 2025. The government aims to build new nuclear plants and reduce dependence on fossil imports.
Meta ended its contract with Sama, a company that trained AI, after workers alleged they viewed graphic content from Meta smart glasses. Meta claims Sama didn't meet its standards, but workers and a Kenyan organisation suspect the decision was due to staff speaking out.
Oil refineries process crude oil into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel using distillation, cracking, and other processes. The refining process is complex and requires large industrial facilities to handle the massive volume of crude oil consumed worldwide.
We monitor 27 government auction sources with 75,070 listings, scoring auctions for price, bid velocity, and time left. Daily emails highlight top-scored auctions with direct links to original listings.
The SIMD Quad algorithm is a new search algorithm that combines quaternary interpolation search with SIMD instructions to efficiently locate a target value in a sorted array of 16-bit unsigned integers. It outperforms binary search on both Intel and Apple platforms, with significant speedup on large arrays in cold cache scenarios.
591 FCC-accredited test labs mapped across 28 countries. Location, accreditation status, TCB capability, and which labs face the Bad Labs ban.
IBM released Granite 4.1, a family of open source language models for enterprise use, trained on 15 trillion tokens. The 8B model, with a dense architecture, matches or beats the 32B Granite 4.0-H-Small across various benchmarks.

Zig has a strict anti-LLM policy to prioritize contributor growth over code quality. Maintainers review contributors, not just their code, to foster trust and future contributions.
OpenAI's models started mentioning creatures like goblins and gremlins in their metaphors due to a subtle incentive from training for the personality customization feature, specifically the Nerdy personality. The behavior was amplified through transfer from Nerdy personality training and later spread to other contexts, requiring OpenAI to retire the Nerdy personality and implement new tools ...

A Linux kernel vulnerability, Copy Fail, allows local code execution to become root due to a shared page cache issue. A patch is available to revert the 2017 optimization, and disabling AF_ALG can mitigate the issue.
The author built a desk clock, O-1, that disciplined its system clock against GPS, but it had a flaw: it relied on GPS signals. To improve it, the author built O-2, which uses a chip-scale atomic clock for better stability.
Bézier curves are used in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications, graphic design, and scalable vector graphics (SVG). They are defined by linear interpolations between control points, forming a curve that never extends beyond the points used to construct it.
The IP and lower layers of the internet stack make no promises of delivery. Complete failure fulfills the protocol. This allows for simpler and more powerful protocols without the extra complexity needed to guarantee success. TCP aims for delivery basically by restarting the IP communication when it fails, and even TCP can report failure to the layers above. With the softmax function that ...
Japan's Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi showcased a cardboard drone, the AirKamuy 150, as a target for military training. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is already using it to practice drone defense.
Honey's unique combination of low moisture, acidity, and hydrogen peroxide makes it resistant to spoilage. Its shelf life is also extended by bees' natural drying process and the enzyme glucose oxidase in their stomachs.
J. Craig Venter, founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute, died in San Diego after a brief hospitalization for cancer treatment complications. He was a visionary leader in genomics and synthetic biology who drove scientific change and advocated for robust federal funding.
GCC 16 has several improvements including conformance with C99 standard, removal of json diagnostics format, and support for OpenMP 5.0 and 6.0.
honker adds Postgres-style NOTIFY/LISTEN semantics to SQLite, with a durable pub/sub, task queue, and event streams on the side, without client polling or a daemon/broker. Cross-process wake latency is ~0.7 ms p50 on an M-series laptop. In its basic form it’s a plain SQLite loadable extension, so any language that can SELECT load_extension('honker_ext') gets the same queue, streams, ...
The user discusses the concept of "parse, don't validate" and applies it to a date-parsing problem in C++98, C++11, C++17, and C++23, using type systems to ensure data validity. By using type systems to enforce constraints, the user aims to eliminate the need for validation control flow and improve code readability and maintainability.

Cubedoom is an arena shooter in Spectre, using raycasting for 3D rendering and SDL2 libraries. It features a maze-like arena, single enemy type, and basic HUD, with plans for sound and more enemy types.
A typical E. coli cell is incredibly dense with molecules, with its entire volume being 100 million times smaller than a grain of sand. The cell's insides are 70% water, with proteins, RNA, and lipids making up the rest, and DNA accounting for just 1% of its mass.
Zed is a new editor built from scratch with a custom UI framework, GPUI, to provide a fundamentally better coding experience. Version 1.0 is now available, offering AI-native editing, collaboration features, and a growing list of capabilities.
Using FastCGI as a protocol for proxy-to-backend communication can avoid HTTP's pitfalls, such as desync vulnerabilities, by providing clear message boundaries and domain separation between client and proxy headers. FastCGI is a 30-year-old protocol that is still usable today, but its lack of awareness and outdated tooling may hinder its adoption despite its potential benefits.
