The user created a pure Go library called objgit that allows for a git server to be hosted in object storage without relying on the local filesystem, using the go-git library and the billy filesystem abstraction. The user encountered several challenges and implemented workarounds to optimize performance, including caching pack files and fixing issues with ListObjectsV2 calls, and is now ...
The user successfully ported Wine to their hobby OS Astral, enabling it to run 32-bit Windows games like Cogmind and Deltarune. They also implemented WoW64 support to run 32-bit code on a 64-bit OS, but still face issues with Wine-mono and Steam compatibility.
TL;DR: Every CAPTCHA generation (distorted text, harder text, image grids) was eventually beaten by machines. Now with everyone using agents to run real workflows, the game has changed from testing what a browser can do to verifying who it is. That's why Browserbase is building agent identity with Verified and Web Bot Auth, because the best CAPTCHA “solver” never sees a CAPTCHA at all. If ...
Researchers developed Krea 2, a series of foundation models for creative image generation that can produce diverse and controllable images. The models were trained using a large-scale data infrastructure and a multi-stage pipeline that includes pretraining, midtraining, and supervised finetuning to achieve high-quality and stylistically diverse results.
Rahul from Greptile observed a surge in OpenClaw pull requests, mostly low-effort AI-generated submissions, with a 9.3% merge rate. To address this, solutions like Vouch and reputation systems are being developed to filter out malicious or unqualified contributors.
A curator arranged a field trip to the Dinosaurs Of China exhibition at Wollaton Hall in 2017. A stitched photo of the Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis skeleton was created from a sequence of photos taken by Matt.
Terrasse-Vaudreuil became the first municipality in Canada to recognize trees as living beings with rights. The town adopted a resolution to protect trees and signed the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Tree.
SSH port forwarding explained in a visual way, including local and remote port forwarding, and dynamic port forwarding using the -L, -R, and -D flags. SSH tunneling allows accessing private services from a local machine, exposing local services to the public, and creating SOCKS proxies for flexible network access.
Haystack is an open-source AI framework for building production-ready agents and applications with LLMs, offering modular visibility and vendor-agnostic connections. It enables flexible, composable AI workflows for text, image, and audio tasks with standardized tool calling and scalable context engineering.
The author started a German company, PlentyLabs, in January and spent over 9,600 euros in fees and bills, but still can't invoice clients due to missing VAT ID. The German incorporation process is slow and expensive, scaring new founders away.
Microsoft claimed a quantum breakthrough in 2025 using Majorana particles, but a scientist's peer-reviewed critique in Nature says they got it wrong. The scientist argues Microsoft's claims are based on flawed data and incorrect programming.
Dijkstra's home in nuenen contained a large collection of scientific books, booklets, papers, manuscripts. with the permission from his family, i was allowed to empty part of his office - the contents of those boxes are listed on this page. the book contains letters from p.a. spencer to edsger w. dakstra, and letters to the editors of the prestigious journal reuters
Monolisa is a typeface built for you, the developers and creatives. it improves code legibility and provides san serif for all design tasks. after using this font for just two days it's grown on me - i really like it. if you need emojis, you can find them in the font's character set. the characters are easy to read, and the style is very clean.
Pure Effect is a zero-dependency effect library for JavaScript and TypeScript that separates business logic from I/O operations. It allows for testable pipelines and replaying of failed production runs without touching the database.

the-stats-duck v0.6.0 is a DuckDB extension for statistics, including distributions, tests, regression, and plots, all in SQL. It adds features like violin marks, 2-D facets, and a per-layer STAT smooth for visualizing data.
peerd is the first AI agent harness native to the browser. It's a Chrome/Firefox extension that runs a full agent loop inside the browser you already use — with the tabs and sessions you already have. It reads and drives your pages, spins up sandboxed compute (JS Notebooks, full Linux VMs compiled to WebAssembly, personal client-side apps), and — on the preview channel — shares what it ...
OpenAI and Broadcom unveiled Jalapeño, a custom AI accelerator designed for large language model inference, delivering performance per watt better than current state-of-the-art. The chip is part of a multi-generation compute platform to make AI faster, more reliable, and accessible to more people.

François Englert, a Belgian physicist, passed away at 93, jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 for the Brout-Englert-Higgs field discovery. He collaborated with Robert Brout and Peter Higgs on the fundamental field that gives particles mass.
Researchers developed Qwen-AgentWorld, a language model that simulates agentic environments through long chain-of-thought reasoning. Qwen-AgentWorld outperforms existing models on 9 benchmarks and supports scalable simulation and warm-up training for general agents.
You're developing a list of advice including a creative mindset, radical transparency, and writing down what makes you happy. You also advocate for "stealing" or building upon others' work, like Virgil Abloh's 3% approach, to learn and create efficiently.
Levi is an llm-based evolutionary framework that produces sota performances. it matches model capacity to task demand, allowing for smaller, cheaper models to handle search, says samuel et al. he says levi reaches near-peak by aval 50, roughly 12x faster than openevolve. with decreased costs, nightly re-optimization against real production workloads starts to be practical, the authors write
Proprietary AI is both too expensive and too centralized in control for most countries and companies to rely upon. NYC — Yann LeCun, one of the “Godfathers of AI,” may have long been Meta’s chief AI scientist, but at the United Nations Open Source Week in his keynote speech, he took a very different tack from a rah-rah big AI stance. Instead, he made an aggressive, politically charged case ...
The author of "Top 40" R packages on CRAN noticed a sharp increase in new packages, suspecting ease of packaging and deployment as the cause. Many new packages lack sufficient documentation, raising questions about their contribution to the R community.
