A Google employee is considering restricting On-Device ADB connections to protect against "bad actors". This change could impact developers and users who rely on On-Device ADB for legitimate purposes.
The US should not restrict open-weight models from China, as it would cut off access to a growing ecosystem of AI researchers and engineers. Instead, American labs should release frontier-grade open-weight models under licenses that startups can build on.
The author, a director of engineering, challenges outdated management practices that assume the cost of producing code is high, now that LLMs have collapsed this cost. The author argues that management should focus on outcomes, accountability, and judgment, rather than code volume, and that the org chart should reflect who signs off on decisions, not who produces code.
The decentralized messaging app Bitchat uses a dual transport architecture for offline and global communication, with no accounts or central servers. To set up Bitchat on macOS, run "will" to set it up and "just" to clean, then compile using xcodebuild with localization updates.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's West Central Research and Outreach Center are using wind energy to produce liquid green ammonia, a zero-carbon fertilizer alternative. This innovation protects farmers, national food security, and the climate by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and volatile international markets.
I started by tweaking the padding and co-located information to reduce the vertical space occupied by each card. Some data was also omitted, for example we realised that we don't need to show the project branch on the card which is generally always "main". It's important to understand that these cards occupy a lot of space on the screen on this view. It's easier to digest ...
The user describes their method of dithering images using imagemagick to create a printed image effect, which involves splitting the image into four colors, scaling and inverting them, and overlaying them to create a grid-like pattern. This method is computationally expensive and may not reduce file size, but can create a unique and visually appealing effect.
The user discusses the concept of 2D programming languages and their potential to unlock new ways of thinking and problem-solving, using examples from quantum computing and other fields. They explore various 2D languages, including Befunge, Orca, Racket's #2dcond, Hexagony, ladder logic, and spreadsheets, highlighting their unique features and potential applications.
Fedora's package creation process involves Git repositories, Koji build system, Bodhi update management, and Pungi compose orchestrator, which work together to produce ISOs, cloud images, and other artifacts. The process includes steps like package building, tagging, and testing, with tools like fedpkg, Koji, Bodhi, and Pungi playing key roles in managing the workflow and ensuring ...
Professor Hannah Fry has been awarded the Leelavati Prize for increasing public awareness of mathematics. She is a renowned communicator of mathematics and science, known for her creativity and ability to make complex ideas accessible to a wide audience.
Training state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters requires distributed training across hundreds or thousands of GPUs. At this scale, hardware failures are not exceptional events—they are expected. A single GPU memory error, network partition, or node crash can bring down an entire training run that has been progressing for days or weeks. While our previous ...
The user wrote a 3D software renderer for the Playdate handheld console, overcoming performance challenges by using a 16-bit reciprocal depth buffer, perspective-correct texture mapping, and dithering for a 1-bit display. The user achieved significant performance gains through compiler flags, custom assembly code, and optimization techniques, ultimately creating a playable 3D game prototype.
The Amen break is a 7-second drum break from the 1969 song "Amen, Brother" by the Winstons, widely sampled in popular music. It was performed by Gregory Coleman and has been used in thousands of tracks across various genres, including hip-hop, drum and bass, and jungle music.

Kyber is building an AI-native document platform for enterprises, transforming regulatory document workflows and aiming for seamless AI template generation. They seek a hands-on Head of Engineering with expertise in AI systems, system design, and accountability to lead their engineering team.
The user and their boyfriend created a 20-gallon aquaponics system in their NYC apartment using a media-based continuous-flow system with a vertical setup, growing leafy greens and herbs. They share their experiences and lessons learned, including the importance of cycling, not overfeeding, and using a stable water and nutrient level for the fish, to help others replicate their setup.

The device features a 5-window scanner with high-resolution LEDs, driven by a Raspberry Pi Pico, and uses a stepper motor for precise movement. The device requires custom 3D printed parts, including a base, drum, and lid, and uses Micropython 1.28 for its software.
ARC-AGI has evolved to measure AI efficiency in novel environments, with a key focus on cost-per-task and performance. The trend lines show how increased reasoning time affects performance, often displaying asymptotic behavior.
As I mentioned earlier, in April 2026, the FBI caught an alleged Scattered Spider member. The guy was hiding his traffic behind a VPN, with IPs across three different countries. And guess what? It wasn't a wrong move that gave him away - it was an identifier that your Windows carries 24/7 and that Microsoft hands over to authorities when asked: the GDID. I've already talked about it ...
PyPI now rejects new files on releases older than 14 days to prevent poisoning in case of compromised publishing tokens or workflows. This change aims to protect users and reduce cleanup work for PyPI admins, with future APIs to define semantics for closed releases.
The author is experiencing a spiritual crisis due to AI's rapid advancements in mathematics, feeling that human discovery and creativity are being replaced by efficiency and automation. They fear that the emotional and spiritual aspects of mathematics are being lost, and that future generations of mathematicians will be denied the experience of discovery.
MouthPad is a custom-fit, hands-free device that translates tongue and head movements into cursor control, clicks, and scrolling for computer use. It's designed for people with mobility challenges and is available for purchase in the United States with a 1-year limited warranty.
webMARS is a browser-based MIPS assembler and simulator inspired by MARS 4.5. Write, assemble and run MIPS code directly in your browser.
Farmers in Paraná, Brazil, used AI-powered smart collars to raise nearly $20,000 in credit by tokenizing 10 dairy cows on the B3 stock exchange. This project, led by Cowmed, aims to unlock $77.6 million in new agricultural credit by tokenizing livestock.
iproute2 is a Linux networking toolkit that replaced legacy tools, providing unified networking functionality through the ip command and other tools like tc, bridge, and ss. The ip command can be used to manage network interfaces, routes, and tunnels, and can be configured to display information in various formats, including JSON and machine-readable output.
Wasmtime 47 enables Wasm GC and exceptions proposals by default, allowing more languages to target WebAssembly. This improves support for high-level languages and exception-using languages, making WebAssembly a better compilation target.
The UK AISI and CAISI evaluated Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model, finding it performs below frontier cyber-capable models in cyber evaluations. Kimi K3 outperforms GLM-5.2 but fails to achieve arbitrary code execution in exploit development.
