The input specifies options for Java Heap allocation and class loading, including aliasing, prefetching, and locking. It also sets thresholds for using malloc or mmap for memory allocation.
User discusses Claude Shannon and the need to highlight influential intellectual achievements in obscure fields, particularly in humanities and social sciences. They list several foundational achievements in physics, mathematics, and probability theory, and mention areas with potential for future influence.
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.
I had some other principles too but I figured no one would read them…. :)
The phyphox team received the Ars legendi-faculty award in 2020 for developing phyphox, an app for academic teaching and physics classes. They also received the teaching award in 2019 from the AG Physikalische Praktika of the German Physical Society.
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.
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.
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 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.
Stewart Brand's new book "Maintenance: Of Everything" celebrates learning and fixing things, arguing maintenance drives technological progress. The book draws on historical examples like interchangeable parts and the Industrial Revolution to make its point.
Anthropic's Mythos AI model is not the only solution for AI cybersecurity as smaller, cheaper models can recover similar analysis and detect vulnerabilities. The capability of AI cybersecurity is jagged and doesn't scale smoothly with model size, with the system and security expertise being more important than the model itself.
100,000 moments of human happiness, mapped
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 ...
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 ...

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
