Apple implemented end-to-end encryption for iCloud files after initially planning to scan for CSAM using NeuralHash. The court dismissed the lawsuit, ruling Apple is entitled to immunity under Section 230 due to its role as a neutral platform.
A new procurement record says ICE wants access to personal data, including names, Social Security numbers, and ethnicity, to investigate in part what the agency calls “voters fraud.” It also plans to use the data to investigate immigration fraud.
ICE has stopped releasing its semimonthly detention report since April, sparking lawsuits and calls for transparency. The Trump administration's deportation data is also disputed, with experts saying the lack of information makes it hard to know the full scope and consequences of the mass deportation program.
The author initially thought Claude was not a compiler but a better tool that can work vertically across the stack, making decisions at various levels. The author used Claude to design and implement a distributed DNS server, guiding the process with written guidance and testing strategies.
Python's 3.15 JIT compiler uses a new form of interpreter profiling that records execution through the interpreter for JIT compilation with low overhead. This approach allows for efficient profiling of the interpreter, with a maximum slowdown of 4.5x for a toy benchmark, compared to 900x-1000x for other tracing systems like PyPy.
The author argues that the reaction to Chinese open weight models is overblown, as they are not necessarily cheaper to serve on a marginal cost basis, but rather are benefiting from a lack of compute and a price umbrella. The author suggests that the US should pass a law to make distillation of models fair use and to loosen restrictions on using frontier labs' models for cybersecurity, to ...

Jelly UI is a dependency-free Web Components library for soft, tactile product interfaces. Real form controls meet soft-body physics, with dark mode, right-to-left support and WCAG AA color tokens built in.
You want to find and summarize all PDF files containing quarterly reports in the local workspace ~/Documents/KimiWorkspace and generate a clear summary document. You also want to know about Scheduled Tasks in Kimi Work, specifically if they run when the computer is asleep.
A person is trying to pack ternary weights of BitNet b1.58 into a close to ideal log(3) / log(2) bits per ternary digit. They found a method to pack 5 trits into 8 bits with 99.06% efficiency using multiplication and division operations for fast parallel unpacking.
Mathematicians are using AI tools to find counterexamples to long-standing conjectures, including the Erdős Unit Distance conjecture, Grothendieck's question, and the Jacobian Conjecture. These AI-generated counterexamples are being formalized in Lean, a programming language for mathematics, and are helping humans gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematics.
Arduino's Modulino ecosystem provides modular sensor and actuator boards that simplify prototyping and integration of complex I2C sensor networks with motor drive systems. The three new boards, Modulino Hub, Extender, and Motors, address common limitations of I2C networks, including address conflicts, distance, and motor control, to streamline prototyping and development.
The author and their friend successfully ported the classic video game DOOM to a custom CPU they built from scratch, overcoming numerous challenges including memory and speed limitations. After several optimizations, including compiler optimization and pipeline improvements, they were able to achieve a playable 15-20 FPS and are now working on further improvements to reach 30 FPS.
The user discusses alternative home security options to cameras, including motion sensors and radar systems that can alert you to activity without sacrificing privacy. Various motion sensors and smart lighting systems are reviewed, including the Kini, Eve Motion Sensor, and Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor, which can detect presence and motion and trigger alerts.
Nativ offers a local AI app for Mac with open models from Google, Cohere, and Liquid AI, no accounts or subscriptions required. It's 100% open source, built on MLX-VLM, and connects to existing coding agents.
The Asháninka and Shipibo people call the central Peruvian Amazon's boiling river Shanay-Timpishka, meaning boiled with the sun's heat. It's a 6km long river with temperatures reaching 99.1 degrees Celsius, hosting unique microbes and defying conventional geological explanations.
Scene capture and reconstruction by Vincent Woo. Built on PlayCanvas by Donovan Hutchence. Thank you to Isaac Mason and Andreas Sundquist of World Labs for early prototyping, and to Rebecca Nestle of Grace Cathedral for the opportunity. If you have a connection to a historic location that could benefit from digital preservation, please feel free to email Vincent.
A Koi Pond Mosaic Made From 10 Pounds of 3D Printer Waste: Every 3D printer owner ends up with quite a pile of plastic waste: failed prints, stringy purge, and the plastic purge tower left behind after a multicolor job. Over three years I saved every scrap of mine, and it added up. When I finally weighed it…
The traditional homeownership rate in the US is 65%, but a new measure called HPOP shows it's actually 53% when considering all adults, not just those living in owner-occupied homes. The HPOP provides a more nuanced view of homeownership, accounting for co-residents and those living in group quarters, and is useful for policy considerations and research.

VTubing, a form of online entertainment where performers use animated models, has become a lucrative industry in Japan, with a market value of 80 billion yen in 2023, and is now expanding globally, particularly in the US. The industry is expected to continue growing, with VTubers potentially appearing on TV and in other forms of entertainment, and technological advances opening up new ...
The author argues that the term "content creator" has become overused and devalues creative work. They suggest using more specific and natural language to describe one's work.
American companies are losing the AI model market due to their locked-down business practices, while China's open approach is gaining traction. China's release of AI models openly could turn a US-created compute disadvantage into a distribution advantage, and create a more effective global ecosystem.
