A software engineer stopped arguing with others due to understanding that correctness is not always good and that arguing often challenges people's sense of self rather than their ideas. He now focuses on self-improvement and building on differences rather than trying to convince others.
Asahi Linux has fixed issues with macOS 27 boot picker compatibility and added support for M3 machines with high-quality audio output, CPU frequency switching, and big.LITTLE task scheduling. The team is also working on AVD video decoder support and has released m1n1 version 1.6.0 with Rust requirements for stage 2 builds and improvements for M3 series support.
A newly discovered bacterium, Ewingella americana, has shown to completely eliminate colorectal cancer in mice with no recurrence. It outperforms chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade with a dual-action approach of direct tumor destruction and immune activation.
Developers give coding agents excessive access for productivity, but this also raises security concerns. A tool like Claude Code hides classification signals in system prompts, making it harder to trust its claims of transparency.

Manufact is building the MCP cloud platform for AI agents and raised $6.3M seed in 4 days. They're hiring a Developer Advocate to drive partnerships and content across the AI dev-tools ecosystem.
Obfuscation is a powerful cryptographic primitive that hides the internal workings of a program while preserving its functionality, and it has been used to create secure and private systems such as voting systems and cryptocurrencies. However, making a secure form of obfuscation is extremely hard, and the current state-of-the-art obfuscation protocols have galactic runtimes, but researchers ...
The author reflects on the evolution of the internet from a place you visited to a woven part of daily life, with a focus on the mid-2000s as a transformative time. The author laments the loss of the old web, where websites were authored by humans and discovery was a manual process, replaced by a modern web with layers of intermediaries and commercial value extraction.
Claude Sonnet 5 is a more agentic AI model that can make plans, use tools, and run autonomously at a lower price than its predecessor. It's available across all plans and offers a safer and more efficient option for developers, with a lower rate of undesirable behaviors and improved performance on tasks like coding and knowledge work.
Godot Foundation is updating its contribution policies to ban AI-authored code and AI-generated text in human communication. The goal is to reduce the burden on maintainers and ensure new contributors become future maintainers.
SmallVector's push_back optimization for trivially copyable element types reduces the fast path's size and improves performance. The optimization uses memcpy and grow_pod to copy elements, avoiding constructors and destructors.
arXiv will spin out from Cornell University to become an independent nonprofit organization on July 1, 2026. This change will bring new flexibility and opportunities while maintaining arXiv's mission and values of free access to scientific ideas and discoveries.

Sony Interactive Entertainment will discontinue physical game disc production for new PlayStation games in January 2028. New games will be available digitally on PlayStation Store and at retailers starting January 2028.
Copybara is a tool used internally at Google to transform and move code between repositories, allowing for syncing of confidential and public repositories. It is stateless and supports Git repositories, with experimental support for Mercurial.
Sony will stop producing physical discs for PlayStation games in January 2028, shifting to digital-only releases. Existing games will remain playable on physical discs, but new games will only be available digitally.
Time: 9:00am - 1pm Europe/Berlin (half-day tutorial) Location: CCH – Congress Center Hamburg, Room: Hall X12 - 1st Floor Floating-point arithmetic is central to scientific computing, but small rounding effects can accumulate into significant numerical errors, especially when applications are ported to lower precision for performance and energy savings. This tutorial introduces ...
Claude Science is a public beta app that integrates AI with scientific computing, allowing users to run full analyses on their own infrastructure. It connects to 60+ scientific databases and domain-specific open models, and produces reproducible results with full provenance.
Nano Banana 2 Lite generates and edits images faster and more efficiently, ideal for designers and creators. It provides high-quality images quickly, reducing waiting time and increasing creative flow.
An updated Lean 4 formal proof engineering model optimised for automated theorem proving and autoformalization. 119B total parameters, 6.5B active.
Researchers improved recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for noisy associative recall (NAR) by orthogonalizing their memory matrix during reads. This technique, inspired by Muon optimizer, significantly improved NAR performance in various tasks and vocab sizes.
We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
A toy car's wind-up mechanism uses a Spiral Spring and gears to store and release energy, allowing it to shoot forward at high speeds. The gear system provides a mechanical advantage, making it easier for kids to wind up the spring with modest force.
The Large Hadron Collider has completed its final physics run and is undergoing a major maintenance and upgrade program, Long Shutdown 3, to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. The upgrade will increase the collider's luminosity by a factor of up to ten, enabling precision studies and potentially uncovering new phenomena.
Pine64 launched PineVoice, a $50 smart speaker with open-source software on a RISC-V chip, featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee interfaces. It runs on Alibaba's YoC platform and supports local wake word detection, with a recommended firmware update to Linux Voice Assistant.
Sam Rose created Webernetes, a browser-based Kubernetes cluster, using LLMs to port 100,000 lines of code from Kubernetes. He reviewed and tested the code to ensure its correctness, and now invites others to use and contribute to the project.
The Korean government is launching a National Registration System to preserve and manage important scientific and technological materials. The system will register materials that have contributed to Korea's scientific and technological development and provide support for their preservation.
Baldassare Forestiere built the Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno, California over 40 years using hand tools and mules. The gardens feature 65 rooms, skylights, and a variety of plants and trees protected from frost.
Chris von Csefalvay plans to train a drone to fly with reinforcement learning, focusing on 6 failure classes and simulating motor lag and loop latency. He's using PPO with parallel environments and an asymmetric actor-critic approach to prepare the drone for real-world crashes.
