Pat Gelsinger, former Intel CEO, now at Playground Global, is evaluating startups and investing in companies that can shape the industry. He believes the future of compute will be heterogeneous, combining classical, AI, and quantum systems.
The author, a successful bootstrapper, shares their playbook for running a lean startup with minimal costs. They use a single VPS, statically compiled binaries, and local GPU hardware for AI tasks.
Landauer's principle sets a lower bound on erasing one bit of information, but reversible circuits can still provide practical efficiency gains. Reversible circuits like the Toffoli gate can be used to compute any Boolean function, including NAND, but may require more input and output.
A US university student is locked out of his iPhone 13 after Apple removed a character from the Czech keyboard in an iOS update. He hopes for a fix in the next update, but may have to restore his device and lose valuable photos.
An automated scanning agent discovered vulnerabilities in eight prominent AI benchmarks, allowing near-perfect scores without solving tasks. The Agent-Eval Checklist provides a minimum bar for robust evaluation, including isolating agents from evaluators and preventing tampering with evaluation data.
The Font Awesome team has launched a Kickstarter for Build Awesome, a rebranded version of the static site generator 11ty, which has already reached its funding goal, but many 11ty developers are concerned about the project's direction and potential impact on the open-source community. The rebranding effort has been met with skepticism, with some developers questioning the need for a paid ...
A US appeals court ruled a 158-year-old ban on home distilling unconstitutional, citing it as an improper tax measure. The decision allows individuals to distill spirits at home for personal use or as a hobby.
Measuring code complexity for humans is challenging as it involves understanding the mental effort required to comprehend the code, which can be influenced by factors such as familiarity with patterns, working memory load, and coherence. Various metrics like Cyclomatic Complexity, Halstead Complexity, and linguistic complexity measures can provide insights, but ultimately, the cognitive ...
Pijul is a free, open-source version control system based on a theory of patches, offering simplicity and scalability. It preserves order and guarantees strong merge properties, modeling conflicts as standard cases.

Return To Dark Castle is a 2008 Macintosh platform game with 63 levels, including 50 new ones. The game follows Bryant as he fights to defeat the Black Knight and rescue Duncan, the original hero.
I had some other principles too but I figured no one would read them…. :)
You worked as a Mac Admin Intern and researched Apple Silicon Virtual Machines limitations. You found the limitation is implemented in the closed-source XNU kernel, not userspace, and can be overridden by setting hv_apple_isa_vm_quota in the kernel.
Dentsu Lab's Project Humanity translates muscle signals and brainwaves into digital expression for people with physical disabilities. Their technology allows users to interact with software and access virtual spaces like the Metaverse.
In 2020 the Ars legendi-faculty award was given to Prof. Heidrun Heinke, Dr. Sebastian Staacks and Prof. Christoph Stampfer for the development of phyphox and its lasting effect for academic teaching and physics classes at school. This award is selected by the Stifterverband, the German Mathematical Society (DMV), the German Physical Society (DPG), the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and the ...
Advanced Mac Substitute is an API-level reimplementation of 1980s-era Mac OS that runs 68K Mac applications in an emulator. It launches directly into an application without a startup phase on POSIX-like systems.
Cirrus Labs joined OpenAI to build tooling for agentic engineers, extending its mission of making engineers more effective. Cirrus Labs will relicense its tools under a permissive license and stop charging licensing fees.
User created pardonned.com to verify claims and easily access pardons data, using Playwright, SQLite, and Astro. They plan to extend the site with analysis and comparison tools to break down pardon composition by President and visualize changes in pardon numbers.
The user created a library called surelock to prevent deadlocks in Rust by using a linear scope token called MutexKey that threads through every acquisition and provides a compile-time witness of the current lock state. The library uses a physical-world analogy where the MutexKey is like a key that is consumed and re-emitted at each lock acquisition, and it also supports incremental ...
User plans to blog about creating external commands for git diff, specifically for OpenAPI specs with oasdiff. They will expose more information in output and handle 7 git diff arguments, including /dev/null for created/deleted files.
Network flow theory is applied in various fields to model transportation, image segmentation, and other problems. This graduate text presents efficient combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including maximum and minimum-cost flows.
A foreigner in Fukuoka took a train to a small town, walked between bronze statues of cartoon pirates, and completed a circuit in his nervous system. This was a pilgrimage, a structure of departure, intention, stations, witness, and return, that unfolded slowly over time.
People are increasingly frustrated with the impact of technology, particularly AI, on their lives and are turning to violence against those associated with it. This is a result of feeling desperate and powerless against the effects of technological advancements.
The author has a strong attachment to hardware, often choosing unique devices with characteristics not found in others. They've kept many devices running for years, sometimes with community support, and find it rewarding.
Property-Based Testing involves combining properties and generators to find bugs, but the traditional model of independent generators and properties is often inadequate due to complex system interactions. A better approach is to use dependent generators that can run computations related to the property, allowing for more accurate and efficient testing.
A weak solution to Connect 4 was developed using a language that describes perfect play for a small subset of nodes and a small opening tree. This solution uses no search during runtime and fits in about 150 kilobytes.
Anthropic silently changed Claude Code's prompt cache TTL default from 1 hour to 5 minutes in early March 2026. This caused a 20-32% increase in cache creation costs and quota consumption for subscription users.
Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ from 1979 to 1991, adding features like classes, templates, and exceptions. He released Cfront, the first C++ compiler, in 1985, and continued to improve the language through various releases and documentation.
User filed off sharp corners of their MacBook for comfort, using a file and sandpaper in increments. They're happy with the result and encourage others to modify their machines for a better user experience.
