Scientists in Benin rediscovered a 24-mile-long coral reef after 60 years, finding a thriving ecosystem with at least eight coral types and eight fish species. The discovery has potential for conservation and unlocking new information about coral history and climate systems.
Package managers' cooldowns may not prevent ecosystem attacks as they delay early adoption and don't ensure vetting. Instead, users should actively scan packages with static analysis tools and sandboxes before installation.

Apple implemented end-to-end encryption for iCloud files after initially planning to scan for CSAM using NeuralHash. The court dismissed the lawsuit, ruling Apple is entitled to immunity under Section 230 due to its role as a neutral platform.
June 17, 2026 — France’s national cybersecurity agency, ANSSI (Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information), confirmed on Tuesday that it will stop certifying security products that lack quantum-resistant encryption. The deadline is 2027. Samih Souissi, ANSSI’s chief of staff, made the announcement at the France Quantum 2026 conference at Station F in Paris. He added that ...
ICE has stopped releasing its semimonthly detention report since April, sparking lawsuits and calls for transparency. The Trump administration's deportation data is also disputed, with experts saying the lack of information makes it hard to know the full scope and consequences of the mass deportation program.
A new procurement record says ICE wants access to personal data, including names, Social Security numbers, and ethnicity, to investigate in part what the agency calls “voters fraud.” It also plans to use the data to investigate immigration fraud.
Python's 3.15 JIT compiler uses a new form of interpreter profiling that records execution through the interpreter for JIT compilation with low overhead. This approach allows for efficient profiling of the interpreter, with a maximum slowdown of 4.5x for a toy benchmark, compared to 900x-1000x for other tracing systems like PyPy.
The author argues that the reaction to Chinese open weight models is overblown, as they are not necessarily cheaper to serve on a marginal cost basis, but rather are benefiting from a lack of compute and a price umbrella. The author suggests that the US should pass a law to make distillation of models fair use and to loosen restrictions on using frontier labs' models for cybersecurity, to ...

You want to find and summarize all PDF files containing quarterly reports in the local workspace ~/Documents/KimiWorkspace and generate a clear summary document. You also want to know about Scheduled Tasks in Kimi Work, specifically if they run when the computer is asleep.
The author initially thought Claude was not a compiler but a better tool that can work vertically across the stack, making decisions at various levels. The author used Claude to design and implement a distributed DNS server, guiding the process with written guidance and testing strategies.
Mathematicians are using AI tools to find counterexamples to long-standing conjectures, including the Erdős Unit Distance conjecture, Grothendieck's question, and the Jacobian Conjecture. These AI-generated counterexamples are being formalized in Lean, a programming language for mathematics, and are helping humans gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mathematics.
A person is trying to pack ternary weights of BitNet b1.58 into a close to ideal log(3) / log(2) bits per ternary digit. They found a method to pack 5 trits into 8 bits with 99.06% efficiency using multiplication and division operations for fast parallel unpacking.
Arduino's Modulino ecosystem provides modular sensor and actuator boards that simplify prototyping and integration of complex I2C sensor networks with motor drive systems. The three new boards, Modulino Hub, Extender, and Motors, address common limitations of I2C networks, including address conflicts, distance, and motor control, to streamline prototyping and development.
I’ve been thinking recently about what makes time series forecasting problems so difficult compared to other sequence learning tasks or IID Machine Learning problems. First some motivating baselines illustrating the difficulty of the forecasting problem. I ran a series of models These are interactive plots, click legend to hide a line, double click to isolate. Note that the historical ...
The author and their friend successfully ported the classic video game DOOM to a custom CPU they built from scratch, overcoming numerous challenges including memory and speed limitations. After several optimizations, including compiler optimization and pipeline improvements, they were able to achieve a playable 15-20 FPS and are now working on further improvements to reach 30 FPS.
The user discusses alternative home security options to cameras, including motion sensors and radar systems that can alert you to activity without sacrificing privacy. Various motion sensors and smart lighting systems are reviewed, including the Kini, Eve Motion Sensor, and Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor, which can detect presence and motion and trigger alerts.

Men are largely missing out on one of the hottest professions in the U.S. right now: nursing. For registered nurses alone, the Labor Department projects there will be 189,000 job openings each year for the next decade. But only 1 in 8 nurses are men. There have long been efforts to rewrite the script around nursing — to push back on the idea that it's women's work. Now, the economy is ...
Apple says it has fixed a vulnerability in its Hide My Email feature which let essentially anyone figure out a user’s real email address which was supposed to be protected by the feature. Apple only fixed the vulnerability after 404 Media wrote about it at the start of July, despite Apple knowing about the issue for more than a year. The news also follows the filing of a class action lawsuit ...
The Asháninka and Shipibo people call the central Peruvian Amazon's boiling river Shanay-Timpishka, meaning boiled with the sun's heat. It's a 6km long river with temperatures reaching 99.1 degrees Celsius, hosting unique microbes and defying conventional geological explanations.
A Koi Pond Mosaic Made From 10 Pounds of 3D Printer Waste: Every 3D printer owner ends up with quite a pile of plastic waste: failed prints, stringy purge, and the plastic purge tower left behind after a multicolor job. Over three years I saved every scrap of mine, and it added up. When I finally weighed it…
