Introducing the MiMo-V2.6 series: frontier intelligence, all the modalities, built in public.
Google's SynthID embeds secret signals into images, audio, and video to track users without consent. This technology is part of a growing trend of "spymarks" that can be used to monitor and control individuals' online activities.
The author expresses frustration with the increasing use of AI to generate writing, citing its inability to convey nuance and context. They argue that this approach can lead to unreadable documents and a loss of human connection in communication.
Transformer is a neural network architecture that has revolutionized AI, used in text-generative models like GPT and Llama, and applied to various domains such as audio generation and image recognition. It operates on next-token prediction, using self-attention mechanism to process entire sequences and capture long-range dependencies.
The Oxide team is gathering in Emeryville for their annual meetup, wearing t-shirts that pay homage to past computer companies like Sun. The nostalgia for Sun has sparked a discussion about what the company got right and wrong, with lessons learned from both serving as inspiration and warning for Oxide's own approach.
The Tetris effect shows how focused attention shapes thoughts, but modern technology often takes control of what we see and hear. Intentional internet browsing is still available, requiring a slower pace to find quality content.
The author optimized Linear's Continuous Integration (CI) process, reducing PR wait time and runner time by 34% and 52%, respectively. These changes improved the overall performance of CI, allowing for faster code shipping and reduced infrastructure costs.
Claude's Status Page - Elevated errors for multiple models.
Zelda Williams is upset with fans circulating AI-generated videos of her late father, Robin Williams. She calls out the "cesspool" of an app and asks fans to stop sharing such content.
Git 2.56 has been released in release-candidate form, featuring over 700 non-merge commits and several improvements, including a new drop subcommand to remove offending commits from history. The next release is expected to be Git 3.0, which may include significant changes such as the switch to SHA-256 hash function by default and support for reftables.
The article explains that cameras in 3D graphics work by applying perspective projection, a simple math-based technique to project 3D coordinates onto a 2D screen. This involves dividing x and y coordinates by z, which represents depth, resulting in normalized device coordinates (NDC).
The author discusses how humans have a universal dislike for change and progress, often feeling disconnected from those who adopt new technologies or ways of life. This sentiment is reflected throughout history, with examples including ancient Greek philosopher Socrates' critique of written language in Plato's Phaedrus dialogue.
Floating point numbers are software-based, slower, and vary by language. They store numbers as ranges to track error bars precisely, similar to 1960s IBM computers.
The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence aims to advise AI companies on their interactions with mathematical research, promoting transparency and accountability. The group seeks input from the mathematical community to inform recommendations for OpenAI's release of significant results in mathematics produced by its internal model.
Polyhedra are beautiful 3-D geometrical figures that have fascinated philosophers, mathematicians and artists for millennia. On this site are a few hundred paper models available for free. Make the models yourself.Click on a picture to go to a page with a net of the model.
Error proxying request to container: There are more than 4096 concurrent connections inbound to the container, surpassing the limit
Traffic management in dense urban areas is a complex problem with conflicting goals and challenges, requiring careful analysis of space, cost, approach speed, cycle time, sight distance, types and volumes of traffic. Traffic signals are a common solution to control the right-of-way at intersections.
The author argues that the future of research is not about having the most resources, but rather about using limited resources to create something valuable. Academia will experience a renaissance due to this shift in approach.
A shader is a program that runs directly on the computer's graphics card, controlling how 3D models, particles, and other elements are drawn to the screen. In this guide, we will learn how to write shaders in Godot 4 by creating a portal effect from scratch, including animating it with breathing movements and adding details using textures.
Copper is firmly anchored into the reality of our users: networks can be unreliable, the robot might not come back, you might want or have a return link broadcasting your ground equipment position etc… With v1.2 we implemented a state of the art telemetry function fully leveraging the determinism of your favorite robot stack, read on! In a nutshell copper-rs is now able to live clone itself ...
You can turn off Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI and summarization on your Mac by going to System Settings, clicking the relevant options. This will disable these features but may require a future fee for expanded access.
Grok 4.7 is a highly capable model for coding and knowledge work, offering improved performance on difficult tasks and enhanced safeguards. It is competitively priced at $2 per million input tokens and available through various platforms.
Kev is a family of small decision models built on Qwen3.5, with pretrained weights or trainable from scratch, and runs on CUDA and Apple Silicon. The API matches TypeSafe's System One, allowing for Python SDK integration.
Peter Bloom's nonprofit Rhizomatica builds shortwave radios with better data rates and encryption, connecting remote communities worldwide. Their open-sourced HERMES system uses the ionosphere for long-distance communication and can send various files over high-frequency radio waves.
A remote access implant was found hidden in an npm package, mathjs, which copies the popular library. The malicious code decrypts a payload and runs it when a specific equation is solved with the library.
Cloudflare Workers now supports Python as a first-class language, allowing developers to run Python applications in the Cloudflare Workers runtime. This enables seamless integration with existing Python packages and frameworks.
Apple's Copland OS was cancelled and replaced by Mac OS X, but its last build is now available in emulation. The 11 patches to unlock it are on a forked branch for wasm compatibility.
The study evaluated three AI policies on a set of five tasks, including actions that could cause harm to humans. The policies were Claude Fable 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Ai2's MolmoAct2, each tested 20 times per task.
TXR is a pragmatic, convenient tool for text processing and data extraction with dual personalities: pattern matching and data-processing languages. It's relatively new, started in 2009, and has a large reference manual due to its complexity.
