Mike Kirtner, president of Kindred Communications, reported an FM transmission line was cut in broad daylight at 93.7 WDGG(FM) in Ashland, Ky. The station is operating at reduced power and estimates total repair costs between $70,000 and $100,000.
ntsc-rs is a free, open-source Rust effect that accurately emulates analog TV and VHS artifacts. It's multithreaded, SIMD-accelerated and available as a standalone, web app, and plugin for various video editing software.
We used Codex to generate a million lines of code for a software product in 5 months with a team of 7 engineers, achieving an average throughput of 3.5 PRs per engineer per day. To maintain the codebase, we focused on designing environments, scaffolding, and feedback loops that enable agents to do reliable work, enforcing invariants and mechanical rules to keep the codebase legible and consistent.
Chemists have observed a boron buckminsterfullerene for the first time, providing evidence for an 80-atom cage structure. This discovery challenges density functional theory and may lead to new materials such as semiconductors or superconductors.

LLM-based Multi-Agent (LLM-MA) systems are increasingly applied to automate complex software engineering tasks such as requirements engineering, code generation, and testing. However, their operational efficiency and resource consumption remain poorly understood, hindering practical adoption due to unpredictable costs and environmental impact. To address this, we conduct an analysis of token ...
A recent Linux kernel proposal to add "spawn templates" to optimize the fork() and exec() pattern has been rejected, but it may point to a new process-creation primitive in the future. The discussion highlights the need for a better process-creation mechanism, with some suggesting a native implementation of posix_spawn() and others proposing alternative approaches using existing system calls.
Meta notified 20,225 people whose Instagram accounts were hijacked through a flaw in its AI chatbot, allowing hackers to access account information and posts. The breach occurred from April 17 to this week, with Meta disabling the chatbot and instructing users to reset their passwords.
zeroserve is a fast, zero-config HTTPS server that serves websites from a single tarball and supports eBPF scripting for middleware and proxying. It beats nginx in serving small files and has a faster proxying path.

X11 fonts have been extended to include ISO 10646-1 Unicode characters, with new fonts and revised versions of existing fonts available. However, X11 was not designed to handle complex scripts like Arabic, Syriac, and Indic, requiring special libraries like Pango to support these scripts.
Erin McCann, a lawyer, discovers two boxes of government documents connected to her family's past crimes. Her mother, Leah, had hidden the documents, revealing a life of deceit and crime by Erin's father, John.
SpaceX has signed a deal with Google to provide AI compute capacity for $920 million a month until June 2029. The agreement allows Google to end the deal if SpaceX fails to deliver the committed amount of GPUs by September 30, 2026.
Keyboard: arrows, Z=A, X=B, Enter=Start, Shift=Select.
The demo allows users to view multiple notes at once with tools and mode switching available. It was created using LLM tools due to the author's lack of mathematical background.
keybench ======== A scriptable, extensible performance tool for sorted key value stores. You write the workload in Lua. keybench drives it across one or more storage engines, times every operation, and reports throughput and latency. The same script runs unchanged against every engine, so a comparison measures the engines and not the harness. POSIX only currently. What it measures ...
The user initially dismissed AI models like DALL-E and ChatGPT as parlor tricks but had a series of "Oh shit" moments as they realized the potential of these models to solve real problems and change their approach to development. These moments included using Claude code to generate a Zillow description, building a web tool to sort media files, and using AI to translate code and track down ...
49 mathematicians compiled 100 research-level math questions with known answers between April 1 and May 15, 2026. LLMs solved 98 questions in three stages, demonstrating their impressive mathematical reasoning capabilities.
Young people raised in the digital age are seeking tangible connections to the past through rare book collecting, which has seen a 62 per cent growth in visitors from 2022 to 2026. The global rare book market is valued at over $7 billion with an expected growth rate above 6 per cent per year.
Motorola's MotoSync+ app has been down for nearly a month, preventing users from setting up and using their WiFi routers. The issue has left many customers without access to their routers, with some unable to even factory reset their devices.
The US Pentagon has raised its counterintelligence threat level for Israel to the highest level due to concerns about Israel's increased spying on the US. The US is taking extra precautions when interacting with Israeli officials, but the two countries' intelligence-sharing remains intact.
The user created a Python library called micropython-wasm that executes Python code in a WebAssembly sandbox with controlled file access, network access, and memory limits. The library uses MicroPython and wasmtime, and the user has tested it with a plugin for Datasette Agent and is now seeking feedback and collaboration to improve and maintain the library.
After I published Five Years of Trying to Add Recursion to lychee, one reply I got was a very fair question: If recursion is so hard, how do other link checkers do it? Plenty of them already crawl websites! This sent me down a rabbit hole of reading the code of other link checkers. The key takeaway is: they didn’t find a clever trick we missed. They were built as crawlers from the very first ...
The user upgraded their Atari 400 to an 800XL in 1985, which improved their programming experience with a better keyboard and 64K of RAM. They created a utility program called DOSBOS, but it was rejected by ANALOG magazine due to its limitations as a BASIC program.
New college graduates now face higher unemployment than the average worker, a gap that started in 2019 and has grown since. The main culprit is likely remote work, which makes it harder for inexperienced workers to get hired into remote roles.
The article discusses devirtualization techniques for CodeVirtualizer/Themida protected code, which can be applied to other virtual machine based obfuscators with minor modifications, and explains how to lift native instructions into a malleable intermediate representation to drive the lifting process forward. The techniques involve a series of optimization passes, including constant folding, ...
