Fireworks Research introduces Ember-1, a specialized model that delivers Kimi K3's quality with 40% fewer tokens. Ember-1 is built on Kimi K3 and learned to cut unnecessary reasoning while keeping the thinking that matters.
A biologist and an evolutionary biologist discovered two new species of a single-celled organism called Paulinella in a motel room. The discovery brings the world's known total to six photosynthetic Paulinella species, made by a team led by Dr. Van Etten.
The article discusses the importance of writing efficient code, particularly in applications where performance matters. It highlights that native languages like C++ can be used to achieve high performance but requires knowledge and familiarity with good practices. The article also introduces Data-Oriented Design (DOD) as a way of thinking that focuses on data storage and design to create ...
The author successfully repaired their 10-year-old bike lights by replacing the battery, using minimal electronics skills and guidance from online resources. The repair cost around $20 CAD and has allowed the author to use the lights again without recharging.

The author criticizes Jev, an AI model that returns typed values with probability estimates, for being opaque and not requiring users to build evals and a ground-truth pipeline. This makes it difficult to understand the model's limitations and potential failures.
The author has used Vim for 20 years, writing numerous documents and relying on its persistent undo feature. They were disappointed with NeoVim's handling of persistent undo, which deleted their existing files without warning or explanation.
Archaeologists have discovered a 3,400-year-old fragment of the Treaty of Kadesh, the world's oldest known peace treaty. The ancient Egyptian and Hittite leaders signed it around 1269 B.C. to mark the end of a lengthy war between their empires.
Walgit is a Git server that stores repositories in an object store, allowing for scalable and fault-tolerant hosting with no local state. It uses a write-ahead log as the source of truth and achieves consensus through CAS operations without election or quorum.
The author successfully implemented a FLIP (Fluid Implicit Particle) fluid simulation on a flipdot electromechanical display, achieving seamless tiling and fast updates. The project involved desoldering individual dots from old Hanover displays, mounting them onto new circuit boards with custom-designed H-bridge chips.
General Robotics Lab at Duke University - Building discovery machines that learn, act, and collaborate by discovering how the world works. Research in embodied intelligence, robotics, AI, machine learning, and human-robot collaboration.
Fakecloud provides a local AWS environment for development and testing without requiring an account or paid plan. It supports 3,932 API operations and 30+ service-to-service integrations, allowing developers to use the normal AWS SDK against localhost.

Copying VCD files in Windows Explorer can cause system instability due to a bug introduced with 2023 updates. The issue is often reproduced by copying the MPEGAV folder, which leads to a "broken" state requiring a restart of the PC.
The author optimized prompt lookup decoding in llama.cpp, achieving a 140x speedup by leveraging Daniel Lemire's PR and their own performance optimizations. The changes improved latency per drafted token, static cache load time, and memory usage.
The Primer Design System migrated from CSS-in-JS to CSS Modules in 2024, improving performance and accessibility. The migration was done incrementally using feature flags and visual regression tests to ensure no breakage occurred during the process.
The postmarketOS project has been renamed to Nura, inspired by ancient granite structures in Sardinia for stability and resistance. The new name was chosen after a community-driven process and trademark protection has been secured.

A generated logic puzzle that gets a little harder every level. Free on the web and on the App Store.
This mini-book covers Go concurrency topics, including goroutines, channels, wait groups, and synchronization primitives like mutexes and semaphores. It provides interactive examples to help readers experiment with these concepts.
The user shares 10 lines of code that hold personal significance, including a "Hello World" line and examples of low-level programming in assembly language. These snippets evoke memories of early coding experiences and the thrill of exploring computer systems.
C's flexible integer types were a design choice to achieve portability across various computer architectures, not a mistake. The language allowed for different signed representations and sizes, which worked efficiently on 12-64 bit machines with varying character sets and memory addressing schemes.
The user forked NewPipe in 2022 to develop PipePipe independently, creating two separate projects. This allows for faster updates and issue fixes without relying on NewPipe's updates or changes.
The author reviews the "parse, don't validate" pattern in Rust programming language and its application to various types such as Vec, NonEmpty, and AbsPathBuf. This pattern involves transforming data into a new type that carries additional meaning without explicitly validating it.
