A graphical shell called Outer Shell allows remote access to server apps via SSH, providing a home screen of apps with APIs for integration. This approach enables native, platform-tailored apps for work and HTML for casual use, raising the bar for web development.
A Game Boy emulator, WATaBoy, was created to test the feasibility of using JIT-to-Wasm for console emulation on iOS. The emulator's JIT compiler running in Wasm was found to be ~1.2x faster than the interpreter running natively.
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.
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 author shares their experience with astronomy and outdoor activities, presenting their telescope Wallace and its technical details. They also discuss the challenge of capturing the visual experience of hiking and trail running.
Ornith-1.0 is a state-of-the-art coding agent with four models (9B-Dense, 31B-Dense, 35B-MoE, 397B-MoE) that achieve top performance on coding benchmarks. It uses self-improving training and can generate reasoning blocks and solution rollouts.
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.
An AI resume screening tool is flawed due to non-deterministic outputs from its LLM, leading to inconsistent scores. This tool fails to differentiate between qualified and unqualified candidates, essentially filtering based on luck rather than quality.
Chernobyl was the world's worst nuclear disaster, but its effects were relatively small compared to other disasters. Low-level radiation exposure has not been proven to cause significant harm, and some studies suggest it may even have health benefits.
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.
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 text discusses various aspects of programming such as correctness, efficiency, debuggability, and more. It proposes a new approach to Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate code from separate documents for each concern.

CachyOS has released its fourth update with new features and fixes including DNS-over-QUIC support and improved performance. The update includes various bug fixes and improvements to the installer, package manager, and desktop environment.
The author shares lessons learned from founding two companies, zynamics and optimyze, and discusses the importance of understanding one's motivations and target market before starting a company. They also provide insights into the different types of markets, fundraising strategies, and the dynamics between founders and investors in the venture capital industry.
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.
The CEO of Mullvad finances the far-right Swedish Örebro party, providing 70% of their funds. This has led to the party going nationwide, causing the user to lose trust in the service.
Google removed an article about Pollen's collapse from its search results due to a bogus copyright claim filed by a fake profile from an uninhabited island. The article's author suspects that Pollen or its former CEO hired reputation firms to file the claim, and is now investigating further lawsuits against the company.
The user successfully built Principia, an open-source game, to run on Windows XP by creating a custom toolchain and resolving dependencies, including a patch for GCC's C++ standard library. The user then installed Windows XP on real hardware, installed drivers and updates, and successfully ran Principia on the vintage operating system.
Summer is here, pack swim gear and snacks, and create games, toys, and visual novels with Decker. Check out the Decker community forum and Phinxel's Phield Notes for inspiration and tutorials.
A virtual machine on a NUMA host can be slow due to remote memory access costs, which can be mitigated by understanding the NUMA topology and making informed placement decisions. Xen's split design makes it challenging to manage NUMA, but Edera's stack of changes aims to make Xen-based virtualization NUMA-aware end-to-end, improving performance and predictability.
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.
A Haskell technique using RequiredTypeArguments and UndecidableInstances was employed to create a type-checked non-empty string constructor, resulting in a 10% build-time improvement in a large package. This technique can be used to define type-level predicates for any type, enabling type-safe validation and error messages.
The user reverse engineered the ASIF file format used in macOS 26 Tahoe, discovering its structure and how to read from an arbitrary offset inside the virtual disk. The format uses a combination of tables, entries, and bitmaps to store and manage chunks of data, and the user provided a detailed explanation of how to calculate the correct chunk for a given offset.
