The author of this blog post is a Collabora employee who works on LibreOffice support and services. They express concern over the TDF board's actions, particularly the ejection of long-time contributors without explanation or apology.
Build autonomous agents that plan, navigate apps, and complete tasks on your behalf, with native support for function calling. These models were evaluated against a large collection of datasets and metrics to cover different aspects of text generation. See additional benchmarks in model card.
apfel is a CLI tool that exposes Apple's built-in LLM on Macs with Apple Silicon. It provides a way to access the LLM through a terminal, code, or chat, without network calls or API keys.
The user had trouble removing Samsung Magician, a disk utility software, from their Mac due to its poor uninstallation process. They had to use multiple commands and even disable and re-enable System Integrity Protection to delete the remaining files.
The author joined Microsoft's Azure Core team in May 2023 as a senior member, only to find the team planning to port half of Windows to a tiny Linux-running chip. The author was shocked by the team's unrealistic plan and felt it was a "death march."
The author analyzes the structure of dataframes and identifies three fundamental operations: Delta (restructuring), Sigma (merging), and Pi (pairing), which can be used to build a dataframe algebra. Category theory provides a framework for understanding these operations and their relationships, allowing for a more principled design of dataframe libraries.
In computing, the terms big endian and little endian refer to the order in which a value's bytes are stored in memory: with the most significant (big) or least significant (little) part first. For example, the hexadecimal value 0x12345678 consists of four bytes. If we instruct a computer to store it at some memory address mem, the computer's endianness determines whether the least ...
The US Code is stored in a Git repository with each commit representing a point-in-time snapshot of federal law. Git diff reveals changes between enactments, making it easier to understand what changed and when.
Espressif Systems announces ESP32-S31, a high-performance SoC with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and Ethernet for IoT applications. It features a dual-core RISC-V microcontroller, robust security, and comprehensive connectivity for smart appliances and industrial automation.
A Python CLI uses neural linguistic steganography to hide data in recipe blog introductions. It encodes data as natural language using arithmetic coding steganography, requiring the same model and prompt for decoding.
NHS staff are refusing to work on the Federated Data Platform due to ethical concerns with US-based provider Palantir. The government is under pressure to eject Palantir from NHS systems amid growing dissent over the company's suitability to manage national health data.
Over the past 24 hours, we recorded 1,285 requests from 70 unique IP addresses within Meta's AS32934 Ashburn infrastructure, and 1,659 requests from 18 IP addresses registered to Microsoft's AS8075. The access patterns from both networks are consistent with coordinated corporate intelligence gathering, not routine web crawling. Every document in the findings repo read in rendered, ...
No masterpiece was damaged after hackers targeted Florence’s Uffizi Galleries’ surveillance infrastructure. U.S. President Donald Trump gives a final heave to try and keep under-pressure Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in power. Vice-chancellor Andi Babler said his country wants “nothing to do with Trump’s policy of chaos and his war.”
The suggestion cannot be applied due to various reasons including no code changes, viewing a subset of changes, and the pull request being queued to merge. The suggestion cannot be applied at this time and should be checked later.

Tailscale's macOS app had an issue where its icon would be hidden in the notch of some MacBooks. A small fix was implemented to notify users when the icon is hidden.
Scientists corrected the popular depiction of Io's "Steeple Mountain" (Dis Mons) after comparing it to actual Junocam data from NASA's Juno spacecraft. The corrected image shows a more realistic shape, with a less steep and more rounded appearance.
Cursor 3 is a unified workspace for building software with agents, bringing clarity to agent work and a higher level of abstraction. It's faster, cleaner, and more powerful, with a multi-repo layout and seamless handoff between local and cloud agents.
NASA has developed a new toilet system called the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS) for astronauts. The system features handles for stability, simultaneous urine and feces processing, and a door for privacy in microgravity environments.
Qwen3.6-Plus is a significant upgrade to the Qwen series, offering enhanced agentic coding capabilities, improved multimodal reasoning, and a more stable and reliable foundation for developers. The model is now generally available through the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API and supports various coding assistants, including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Qwen Code, to streamline development ...
The author learned from business school that good ideas don't need lies to gain acceptance and that dishonest forecasters are worthless. This principle helped the author predict the Iraq War's failure due to false claims about WMDs and the importance of audit to prevent such errors.
SSH certificates provide a better and more seamless SSH experience by eliminating the need for Trust on First Use (TOFU) and allowing for short-lived keys, forced-commands, and automated key management. An SSH CA can be used to sign host keys and user keys, making it easier to manage SSH connections and eliminating the need for manual key deployment and TOFU.
LinkedIn scans users' computers for installed software without consent, collecting data on job search activity, religious beliefs, and competitor products. BrowserGate is a campaign to expose this corporate espionage and data breach scandal, seeking funds and public support to hold LinkedIn accountable.
Vector meson dominance is a concept where photons are slightly contaminated by neutral rho mesons, which are quark-antiquark pairs with spin 1. The neutral rho meson was first predicted in 1959 and later found to be part of an SU(2) gauge field, which is a precursor to gauge theory.
Two new attacks, GDDRHammer and GeForge, demonstrate how malicious users can gain full root control of a host machine by performing novel Rowhammer attacks on high-performance Nvidia GPU cards. The attacks exploit memory hardware's susceptibility to bit flips, allowing attackers to manipulate GPU page tables and gain access to host CPU memory.
The system has various keyboard and touch shortcuts for navigation, zooming, and view control. It also includes shortcuts for editing text and switching between different modes.
Mazes can be classified into seven categories: Dimension, Hyperdimension, Topology, Tessellation, Routing, Texture, and Focus, with various subcategories and algorithms for creating each type. Algorithms for creating Mazes include Perfect, Braid, Unicursal, Sparseness, 3D, Weave, Crack, Omega, Hypermaze, and Template, each with its own characteristics and methods for generating the Maze.
