Ratty is a GPU-rendered terminal emulator with a spinning rat cursor, multiple 3D presentation modes and support for inline 3D graphics. Inspired by TempleOS and built with Rust and Ratatui.
Google and Apple are expanding hardware-based attestation to lock out non-approved devices and OSes, presented as a security feature but actually anti-competitive.
The trend of relying on cloud-hosted AI models for features in applications is creating fragile, invasive, and broken software that invades user privacy and depends on external vendors. Developers should instead use local AI models on-device to transform user-owned data, ensuring faster, private, and trustworthy results without the need for cloud dependencies.
The user built a GPU-aware Kubernetes dashboard called k10s using vibe-coded sessions with Claude, but the project's architecture collapsed due to AI-generated code that lacked constraints and view isolation. The user learned that AI-assisted coding requires explicit architecture design, view isolation, and concurrency rules to prevent complexity and data races, and is rewriting k10s in Rust ...
Researchers at UNAM developed three new antibiotics from scorpion venom and habanero peppers to combat tuberculosis and bacterial resistance. The antibiotics showed efficacy against tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus, with potential to treat other infections.
The article discusses James Burke's 1978 TV series "Connections" which explores the evolution of science and technology. A memorable clip from the series shows Burke explaining how a thermos flask can store gases that ignite to launch a rocket.
You've successfully set up a local model on your 24GB Macbook Pro using LM Studio, which runs reasonably well with a 128K context window and enables thinking. This local model, Qwen 3.5 9B (Q4), is useful for research, planning, and basic tasks, but requires more guidance and interaction than SOTA models.
Press the phone firmly against the guitar body and pluck a string. Each axis trace shows raw vibration; |a| is the combined magnitude. Pitch is detected from the strongest axis (alias-corrected to the actual string frequency).
A restaurant executive accused of DUI by Illinois State Trooper Kevin Bradley discovered his missing laptop was tracked to Bradley's house. Bradley was suspended for one day after an internal investigation found he had violated state police policies.
A highly targeted social engineering campaign is using Obsidian note-taking app to deliver a previously undocumented RAT named PHANTOMPULSE to finance and crypto professionals. The attack relies on tricking users into enabling community plugins, which then executes code to deploy the RAT with advanced capabilities, including Ethereum blockchain-based C2 server address resolution.
The user warns that relying on AI coding agents for speed boosts without reducing maintenance costs can lead to permanent productivity loss and indenture. To avoid this, AI must decrease maintenance costs in proportion to the speed boost, or else it's a temporary gain for permanent loss.
A security incident occurred due to a compromised dependency in the JavaScript ecosystem, affecting approximately 4.2 million machines. The incident was resolved after a cryptocurrency worm inadvertently patched the malware.
You created a Google account with an Italian SIM tied to your ID, then enabled 2FA and saved recovery codes. Google likely keeps a record of your used phone numbers but can't verify your account with a reassigned number.
The author of curl received a report from Mythos, an AI model, that found five potential security vulnerabilities, but after review, only one was confirmed. The author believes the hype around Mythos was primarily marketing and it didn't find issues significantly better than other AI tools.

The lambda calculus is a minimalist, higher-order functional programming language that is equivalent to the Turing machine and can be implemented in various programming languages including JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. It achieves Turing-equivalence through Church encodings and the Y combinator, and its interpreter can be designed using the eval/apply pattern, which scales to much bigger languages.
Claude Code developed a command to act as a user space IP stack, responding to pings with a properly formed ICMP echo reply. However, it took 45 seconds for Claude to respond to a ping due to its slow processing speed.
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, set to be the longest immersed tunnel in the world, has successfully immersed its first segment. Engineers from Europe are working together to complete the 18-kilometre tunnel by 2026.
The user is working on multiple projects including a tool to help write statements of work with AI, a puzzle game, a video cloud platform, and a search engine alternative called Uruky. They are also developing a tabletop simulator called Orpheus, a task manager, and vibecoded games, and are seeking feedback and help with their projects.
The AdamsReview plugin for Claude Code provides a multi-stage code review process with parallel sub-agent detection, validation, and automated fix loops, catching more real bugs and producing fewer false positives. The plugin includes six commands: review, codex-review, add, walkthrough, fix, and promote, with features such as pre-computed auto-fix proposals, batch-acceptance, and granular commits.

Phel test features include re-running last failed tests and improved BigDecimal functionality. Phel also optimizes REPL boot and improves division and UUID handling.
Charles O'Rear took a photograph of a green rolling hill in January 1996 near the Napa-Sonoma county line, California. The photograph, titled Bliss, was used as the default wallpaper for Microsoft's Windows XP operating system and has been viewed by billions of people worldwide.
Not because it’s complicated. Just because I have no idea what I’m looking at. So I click into the function definition, scroll a bit, lose my place, jump back, re-read the line…and only then does it click. What does that mean? Is the user an admin? Are we sending a welcome email, or skipping validation? I don’t know. And at that point I’m not really reading code anymore, I’m decoding it. ...
The author shares their experience with trolls and lawyers from various companies including Borland, Corel, and Embarcadero. They discuss the decline of dBase due to lawsuits and predatory practices.
The author was a long-time AWS fan but became disillusioned with its complexity, vendor lock-in, and predatory business practices. They left AWS but recently returned for research purposes, only to have their account suspended due to a security breach alert.
The system bridges art and science to analyze complex animal vocal patterns. It uses spectral descriptors to convert bird voices into dynamic data-rich structures.
European banks and asset managers have increased their investments in Palantir by 60% despite its links to human rights violations. The combined stake in Palantir is now worth $27 billion, with major banks like Norges Bank and Barclays holding significant shares.
