A team at the University of Hong Kong developed a new "super steel" that resists corrosion in seawater, making it suitable for green hydrogen production. The steel uses a double-protection mechanism and could replace costly titanium parts, reducing production costs by 40 times.
Meet Googlebook: A new kind of laptop designed for Gemini Intelligence. Built with heavyweight power and perfectly in sync with your Android Phone. Sign up for updates and stay in the know.
Gemini 3.1 was distilled into a 26m Simple Attention Network, Needle, for consumer devices. Needle outperforms other models in single-shot function calls but may be finicky and less effective in conversational settings.
Craig worked at Bell Labs for a year and then started his PhD in statistics, where he spent four summers working at Bell Labs and became interested in piecewise linear regression and design of experiments. He used his knowledge of design of experiments to help a large chemical company in Great Britain solve a problem with their fertilizer production, and also worked on various projects at ...
A complete reverse engineering, documentation, emulation, and preservation of all Fisher-Price/Mattel Pixter device series and almost all the games was achieved, including the discovery of a 16-bit virtual machine that executes most simple opcodes in a dozen cycles or so. The Pixter Color device was found to use a unique audio system that involves a Melody Chip, which is controlled using a ...
The article discusses six rules to create a futuristic movie title, including adding an italic slant, curvy and angular shapes, consummate Vs, combined letters, removing text segments, and adding noise textures. These rules are demonstrated in various movie titles such as Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars.
SecurityBaseline.eu monitors baseline security for European governments, revealing issues such as tracking cookies, exposed admin panels, and poor email encryption. The website provides maps and metrics to help governments protect citizens and improve online security.
Senior developers worry about complexity, while others want to reduce uncertainty. They should communicate solutions in terms of uncertainty reduction, not complexity management.
CERT is releasing six CVEs for serious dnsmasq security vulnerabilities. Patches are available and a new stable release, dnsmasq-2.92rel2, has been made with the fixes applied.
The vi editor is a 50-year-old terminal-based text editor with a steep learning curve but offers efficiency and widespread availability. Many vi clones and derivatives exist, including Vim, Elvis, and nvi, each with unique features and improvements.
Kraftwerk's 1975 album Radio-Activity is a groundbreaking electronic album that has mutated over decades into a protest song and party anthem. The album's 50th anniversary reissue still crackles with Kraftwerk's creative power and has influenced countless artists across various genres.
Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform combining logs, traces, metrics, and AI tracing. It's self-hosted, MIT licensed, and integrates with tools via OTLP/HTTP.
New scrcpy release migrates to SDL3 for active maintenance and new features like aspect-ratio locking. It includes improvements like dynamic display resizing, better quality settings, and clearer disconnections.
A bug in the CUBIC congestion controller caused it to permanently pin the congestion window at its minimum and never recover from a congestion collapse event, resulting in a self-perpetuating recovery trap. The bug was fixed by changing just three lines of code to measure the idle duration from when bytes_in_flight actually transitioned to zero, rather than the last packet sent.
The user implemented an atmospheric scattering shader post-processing effect to render a realistic sky and atmosphere in real-time, using raymarching, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, and ozone absorption to achieve a natural color for any altitude. The user also explored a more performant approach using Look Up Tables (LUTs) to store precomputed scattering calculations, resulting in a ...
DuckDB instances can now communicate with each other using the Quack protocol, enabling client-server setups and concurrent writers. Quack is built on HTTP and optimized for low overhead and fast bulk data transfer.
The user has never graduated from college and is renting a cap and gown for $94, which is expensive. They created a custom device that lights up their cap when the tassel is moved, using a microcontroller and code written in Rust.
The author of EndBASIC is considering reusing its building blocks to create a new project, possibly replacing the BASIC language with a more modern one, or focusing on the core compiler and VM, or even creating a BSD-based buildroot alternative.
Obsidian Community is launched with a new directory and developer dashboard for plugins and themes. Automated reviews ensure safety and security of the Obsidian ecosystem.
A writer reflects on the struggles of making a living as a writer, revealing the financial realities and side hustles that underwrite creative work. He chose a job as a fire lookout, which offered solitude and subject matter, and now prioritizes this role over his writing career.
Google is developing an AI-enabled pointer called Gemini to simplify interactions with computers by understanding context and intent. The pointer will work across all apps, allowing users to point and speak to get information without needing to write complex prompts.
Researchers found that scientists increase their ability to combine existing ideas as they age, but decrease in their ability to create groundbreaking innovations. This pattern suggests that scientists become more attached to established ideas and less likely to disrupt their field with new concepts.
fc is a lossless compressor for IEEE-754 64-bit doubles that uses adaptive block sizes and multi-threading for compression and decompression. It outperforms other compressors on structured and analytic floats but is outdone by zstd on byte-pattern-friendly quantized data.

Journalists' work is being threatened by major media outlets blocking the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. We call on media outlets to commit to working with the Internet Archive to preserve news for future generations.
SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets.
Bambu Lab is threatening an open source developer with legal action for using their code in a fork of OrcaSlicer. They claim the developer is impersonating their client and creating a security risk, but the developer says they're just using upstream code verbatim.
Hopper uses AI agents to navigate and operate inside z/OS from a modern development environment. It drives ISPF, writes JCL, and queries VSAM with SQL-like functionality.
