A CUDA program is compiled into machine code that runs on a GPU, involving multiple compilers and transformations from PTX to SASS, and is then launched on the GPU through a complex process involving the CUDA runtime, driver, and kernel-mode driver. The GPU executes the kernel in parallel, using warps and scheduling control bits to hide latency and optimize performance, and eventually copies ...
The US Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement's use of geofence warrants requires privacy protections under the fourth amendment. The court held that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location data, even if they are in public areas.
Routers are becoming the control plane for AI inference, enabling collaboration between multiple models to improve accuracy and efficiency. The vLLM Semantic Router is a programmable, observable, and open serving layer that selects the right collaboration recipe for each request.
The Apple Neural Engine is a fixed-function matrix accelerator in Apple chips since A11-class, exposed through Core ML. A reverse-engineered guide documents its datapath, dispatch route, and compiler format for A11-A18 and M1-M5 chips.
Carson Gross discusses the benefits and drawbacks of using AI in coding, specifically with the Sorcerer's Apprentice problem where developers rely too heavily on AI and lose understanding of their code. He shares a personal experience with AI assistance in fixing a bug in his hyperscript project, highlighting the importance of human oversight and expertise in controlling complexity.
Ornith-1.0 is a self-improving open-source model for agentic coding tasks, achieving state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks. It learns to generate solutions and task-specific harnesses, outperforming leading models of similar size.
EuroISPA warns the European Commission that piracy blocking measures are becoming more extreme and causing overblocking incidents. The ISP organization argues that the Commission should prioritize implementing current law rather than introducing new enforcement obligations.
The Trump administration is cracking down on dissent, sentencing eight defendants to 450 years in prison for possessing or distributing information deemed anti-government. This move erodes the First Amendment and could lead to the criminalization of holding certain viewpoints.
Dark-sky lighting reduces light pollution by directing light downwards and using amber colors, which helps protect wildlife and our circadian rhythm. It also reduces energy consumption and makes our stars visible again, promoting a safer and healthier environment.
A journalist discovered nearly one million exposed passports and IDs on public internet due to a company's failure in data security practices. The documents were accessible through direct URLs with no authentication or encryption, creating a potential window for criminal exploitation.
Sandia National Laboratory built capacity to design and test ICs for radiation-hardened devices in the 1970s and 1980s for use in space missions and nuclear warheads. They successfully created the SA3000 processor, which could handle 1×106 rads of radiation with minimal performance reduction, and was used in the W88 nuclear warhead and other space applications.

The author discusses font loading security concerns and proposes using monospace as a fallback font. They also criticize the use of specific fonts like Menlo and Courier New, suggesting browser defaults are now better.
In medieval Venice, factional divides led to violent street battles between the Castellani and Nicolotti, with bridges serving as platforms for these fights. The ritualized violence of these battles, known as the "guerre dei pugni," became a popular spectacle in Venice by the 17th century.
The author reminisces about the "computer room" of their childhood, where computers were bulky and had fixed locations, and how portable devices like laptops and smartphones have changed the way we interact with technology. The author now seeks to reintroduce boundaries and physical restrictions to minimize distractions and maintain a healthier relationship with technology.
Research suggests that sunlight, not vitamin D supplements, is key to overall health, reducing disease rates and improving mental conditions. Current sun-exposure guidelines may be misguided, particularly for people of color who require more sun exposure to produce vitamin D.
Consumers in the US have sued Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron over alleged memory price fixing. The lawsuit claims the companies colluded to drive up D-RAM prices by 700% over four years.
