The author discusses the formalisation of mathematics and the rise of Lean, but notes that it's not the first system to achieve this. They mention AUTOMATH, which was developed in the 1960s and 1970s, and other systems like HOL Light and Isabelle/HOL. The author argues that Lean's success is partly due to its user community and the abandonment of "constructive proofs".
Apple is warning of two significant changes in macOS 27: removal of AFP support and a requirement for TLS 1.2 connections to certain servers. These changes may impact enterprise users and those with Time Capsules or NAS systems that don't support SMB3.
Scratch's approach to SVG sanitization has been ineffective due to numerous vulnerabilities discovered over the years. Despite multiple fixes, new security issues continue to arise.
A data breach at Mercor exposed 40,000 contractors' voice biometrics and ID documents. Attackers can use this data to clone voices and commit crimes like bank verification bypass and vishing.
Dirac is an open-source coding agent that improves accuracy and reduces costs by 64.8% with tightly curated context. It achieves 100% accuracy on complex refactoring tasks at a fraction of the cost of other leading agents.
pgBackRest is a reliable PostgreSQL backup and restore solution that scales up to large databases and workloads. It supports parallel processing, compression, and block-level backups for efficient data storage and retrieval.
De Nederlandsche Bank signs major contract with Schwarz Digits to reduce dependence on American cloud companies. The move aims to use a European partner, but raises questions about the robustness of European cloud alternatives.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a plan to create a sovereign wealth fund called the "Canada Strong Fund" with an initial endowment of $25 billion. The fund will finance major projects of national interest and allow Canadians to contribute and benefit from it, investing alongside the private sector and international partners.
Decoupled DiLoCo is a new AI training architecture that allows for flexible and resilient training across globally distributed data centers. It achieves this by dividing training runs into decoupled "islands" of compute with asynchronous data flow, reducing communication delays and hardware failures.
The DSPi transforms a Raspberry Pi Pico into a digital audio processor with features like room correction, active crossovers, and parametric EQ. It acts as a USB sound card with onboard DSP engine.
Boats crash and break when falling certain distances, dropping items. This bug occurs when falling 12, 13, 49, 51, 111, 114, 198, 202, 310 or 315 blocks.
The Engineering Manager created a new CX team to improve customer experience, but it didn't align with the existing tribe's challenges and structure. The team's dashboard wasn't used by CX, but instead by the product manager.
Tendril is a self-extending agentic sandbox that discovers and builds tools autonomously. It uses a Strands agent with three bootstrap tools to rule them all.
User tried Simple Lucas' focus routine, staring at a wall to recover focus, and found it effective but hard. They attribute their lack of focus to information overload and use wall staring with parasympathetic activation and mind blanking to improve productivity.
The world is facing an AI compute crisis due to rising electricity demand, long lead times for GPUs, and increasing rental contract pricing, making optimization a top priority for enterprises. A new tool called Utilyze measures true GPU utilization by tracking actual compute throughput and memory bandwidth, providing accurate and real-time insights to help identify performance bottlenecks and ...
The user built a large interactive wall art using flipdiscs, a display type that utilizes electromagnetic pulses to flip small discs between two colors, and paired it with an Nvidia Orin Nano for processing power. The user created a library for using flipdisc screens in Node.js and built a reliable interface for the display using an expo app, allowing users to control and customize the display.
A geofence warrant was used to catch a suspect in a 2019 bank robbery, but critics say it violates the Constitution and puts personal data at risk. The Supreme Court will examine the use of geofence warrants in a case involving a Jamaican immigrant's conviction.
The domain name friendster.com was bought for $7456 in an auction and later sold for $20k in Bitcoin. The new owner created a social network with unique features like phone tapping to connect friends and fading connections to encourage in-person interactions.
The TL-SG108 is an 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switch based on the Realtek RTL8370N chip, which can be upgraded to a managed switch by replacing the 4Mbit SPI flash with a 32Mbit one. The switch's MAC address and serial number can be modified to avoid conflicts.
No boilerplate Versatile Whether you are writing a research paper, a quick report, a company-wide wiki, class notes, or preparing interactive slides for your next talk, there's only one line you need.
The future of software engineering will belong to those who use AI to augment their skills, not replace them, by focusing on judgment, clarity, and original thought. Effective engineers will know what to delegate to AI and what to own, turning time savings into better thinking and avoiding the trap of shallow understanding and imitation.
The user built a custom "front page" printer using a dot matrix printer, Raspberry Pi, and PHP script to print out news, stocks, and Reddit posts every morning. The project was a fun way to integrate old hardware with new technology and reduce screen time, and the user plans to explore more uses for the dot matrix printer.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute found that lithium-metal electrodes generate hydrostatic stress causing the solid electrolyte to fracture during charging. This discovery could help prevent short circuits in solid-state batteries and pave the way for their commercial use.
The library opens various file formats including CSV, TSV, and native .cell files. It tracks ODF formula compliance and saves CSV files with flattened formula values.
A vector is an ordered list of numbers that can be thought of as an arrow in space, and its length and inner product can be calculated using the norm and dot product. The goal of TurboQuant is to store a vector using a fixed number of bits per coordinate while minimizing the mean squared error (MSE) of the reconstructed vector, and it achieves this by applying a random rotation to the vector ...
The user built an automated screenshot system for a help centre in Jelly, using Rake tasks and a headless Chrome browser. This system updates screenshots automatically when the UI changes, reducing maintenance and keeping the help centre current.
