TypedMemory is a Java library for working with contiguous off-heap memory through strongly typed views. It provides a type-safe abstraction over memory for systems, interop, graphics, and data-oriented programming.
Justin Frankel, founder of Nullsoft, was a rebellious programmer who created popular music tools like Winamp and Gnutella, often challenging the music industry and his corporate parent AOL. He quit AOL and Nullsoft after releasing a private file-sharing system WASTE, which made it difficult for authorities to track copyright infringement.
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.
UCLA researchers found a drug called DDL-920 that reproduces the effects of physical stroke rehabilitation in mice. The drug targets a brain cell called a parvalbumin neuron to help recover movement control after stroke.
The speaker discussed two new OTP data structures, :atomics and :counters, which provide fast and atomic operations for shared memory spaces. They compared these to ETS, a traditional shared memory space, and found that :atomics and :counters offer better performance and tighter semantics for certain use cases.
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.
cuda-oxide is a Rust-to-CUDA compiler for safe GPU programming. It compiles Rust code to PTX and supports async GPU programming with Rust's type system and ownership model.
The author optimizes a handwritten matrix multiplication code in Swift for training a Large Language Model (LLM) on Apple Silicon, exploring various techniques such as SIMD, AMX, and Metal to achieve performance comparable to C. The author concludes that while Swift can achieve similar performance to C, it requires more complex and unwieldy code, and that the fastest CPU instruction on Apple ...
Interfaze is a new model architecture that outperforms other models in OCR, vision, and structured output tasks. It offers a balance between performance and price, making it suitable for high-volume tasks.
Canonical's website was attacked by a group using a paid service called Beamed, which rented a commercial denial-of-service product to stress test websites protected by Cloudflare. Cloudflare's revenue depends on verifying service reachability, and its hosting of Beamed's infrastructure created a merged threat and protection role, with Canonical eventually paying for relief.
The Portuguese government invested 5.5 million euros in AMÁLIA, a large-scale LLM for European Portuguese. The model's architecture is based on EuroLLM, but with modifications to increase European Portuguese data.

User uses multiple terminals across multiple desktops, switching between xterm, rxvt, lxterminal, alacritty, and kitty due to various features. User discovers smem, which shows that kitty consumes excessive swap memory, leading to a switch back to xterm and then to alacritty. User devises a test to measure memory usage of various terminals and finds st to be the least memory-hungry option.
Sara Peattie runs a free puppet library in Boston's basement, where puppets of all shapes and sizes can be borrowed by the public. Peattie, a Boston-based puppeteer, creates her own puppets using papier-mâché and fabric, often making them look more complicated than they are.
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 author built a web server called ymawky in AArch64 assembly for macOS to understand how a web server works and to strip away convenience layers. The project involved parsing HTTP requests, handling edge cases, and implementing security features such as request timeouts and path sanitization in a low-level and manual way.
Creating a community space requires trusting people, being vulnerable, and giving them agency over the space. A community space thrives when it has a shared purpose, is transparent, and prioritizes belonging over profit.
Some software engineers think AI use makes them less intelligent by not learning tasks, but this is a bad argument. They should adapt to AI like construction workers do to heavy lifting, even if it's detrimental to their long-term cognitive abilities.
Discover, read, and engage with academic papers. AI-powered summaries, quizzes, and a community of researchers — all in one beautiful app.
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.
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.
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).
Trump Mobile's T1 phone was promised to be made in the USA but may not be, with estimated 590,000 buyers paying $59 million in deposits. The company has delayed the phone's release multiple times and has been accused of bait-and-switch tactics.
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.
Warner Music Group acquired the Red Hot Chili Peppers' recorded catalog for over $300 million through a joint venture with Bain Capital. This deal represents a significant portion of the joint venture's reported spending of $650 million.
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 ...
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.
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.
Lawyer Jeffrey Gifford is concerned about AI-generated transcripts in meetings due to potential legal risks. He turns off AI note takers before meetings to avoid recording offhand comments and other sensitive information.
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.
