A Carnegie Mellon University study found 6 million fake GitHub stars across 18,617 repositories, with AI/LLM repos being the largest non-malicious category. The study's tool, StarScout, identified fake stars distributed by roughly 301,000 accounts.
The user discusses the security risks of current agent gateways, comparing them to the insecure MS-DOS era, and proposes a safer architecture for agents. The user's own project, Wirken, uses separate processes, hardened containers, and a hash-chained audit database to provide a more secure agent gateway.
Researchers found a massive underground city of 5.6 million ground-nesting bees at East Lawn Cemetery in New York. The bees, a native species, pollinate crops like apples and blueberries, and their large population rivals that of honeybees.

Claude Token Counter now compares different models, including Opus 4.7 and 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. Opus 4.7 uses an updated tokenizer, increasing token counts by 1.0-1.35x, and costs 40% more due to the same pricing.
People avoid doing work by trying to create systems to replace human interaction, but the problem is they're not listening properly to others. To listen effectively, one must understand the complexities of human knowledge and experiences, avoiding assumptions and stereotypes.
Abstracting away the complexity of payments has driven the evolution of our APIs over the last decade. Learn more about Stripe payments APIs here.
Ben Lerner's new book Transcription is a hybrid work that explores the relationship between life and fiction, featuring an unnamed narrator who interviews his mentor Thomas about fatherhood and technology. The book delves into themes of phone addiction, family dynamics, and the blurring of reality and literature.
Engineers at Rice University developed a device called Meta-NFS that concentrates microwave energy to cure conductive ink without damaging the surface underneath. This breakthrough enables the creation of smart implants, ingestible electronics, and soft robots with deeply integrated electronics.
Anthropic open-sourced two Rust crates, buffa and connect-rust, for Protocol Buffers and ConnectRPC implementation. The crates provide performance and correctness improvements, including zero-copy message views and monomorphic dispatch.
Fish sauce has a long history, with ancient Greeks and Romans producing garum and liquamen, while Southeast Asians independently developed nuoc mam and nam pla. The origins of fish sauce are unclear, but it remains a crucial condiment in Southeast Asian cuisine, with various regional variations and uses.
The user built a custom camera system called Lampone using a large lens, a fake sensor made of semi-transparent material, and a Fresnel lens to achieve a very thin depth of field. The system has some limitations, including a large minimum focusing distance, structural instability, and significant light loss, but the user is planning to improve it in future iterations.

A global semiconductor memory supply chain is vulnerable to a bromine shortage due to Israel's reliance on bromine imports and limited conversion capacity outside the country. A disruption would immediately impact global memory production, affecting consumer devices, military systems, and AI infrastructure.
Turtle WoW, a popular World of Warcraft private server, is shutting down on May 14 after a cease and desist from Blizzard. The server will close its servers to the final patch and associated social media channels will shut down later this year.
Anthropic published system prompts for their chat system, with updates from Claude 3 to Opus 4.7, showing changes in child safety, tool usage, and response style. The new prompt includes tools like Claude in Chrome and a tool search mechanism to resolve ambiguities.
Global energy demand rose 1.3% in 2025, with electricity demand jumping 3% due to electrification and EV adoption. Solar led global energy supply growth, accounting for over 25% of the increase and meeting nearly 60% of energy demand growth.
This website curates 36 mechanical keyboards and switches, providing sound-mapped audio samples from the open-source community. It's a listening museum, not a buying guide, with some entries being proxies or field recordings of the same switch in different host boards.
PlanB is a linearized B+-tree IPv6 lookup algorithm with AVX-512 SIMD and a scalar fallback. It is a portable, tested, and permissively licensed library for research, teaching, and production software.
A software detected 18 cases of potential data errors in 600 open-access datasets, with 15 cases posted on PubPeer. The true error rate is likely higher than the estimated 3% due to undetectable errors and less lazy methods of data fabrication.
Memory makers will meet only 60 percent of demand by 2027 due to production shortages. New fabrication capacity won't be online until 2027 or 2028, exacerbating the RAM shortage.
The 2N2222 and 2N3904 transistors survived over 60 years due to Motorola's process innovation, cheap packaging, and JEDEC numbering system. They became multi-sourced commodities, still in production from various manufacturers and stocked by major distributors.
The Swiss AI Initiative was launched in December 2023 with 10m GPU hours and 20m CHF grant for AI research. It brings together 800 researchers for frontier AI research on the Alps supercomputer.
The user made progress on the Material Programming Project, learning 2-bed knitting and making test samples on the Kniterate machine, and also attended a workshop on the Brother ribber. They encountered issues with carrier positioning and binding off, but made progress on updating the JS knitout library to include kniterate-specific functions and creating an annotated guide to the .kcode file format.
A port of Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 image-to-3D model is available for Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. It replaces CUDA-only libraries with pure-PyTorch alternatives, allowing use without an NVIDIA GPU.
Each municipality's official domain is checked via 11 signals from DNS records, SMTP banners, ASN lookups, and a public Microsoft API endpoint, then classified by provider type with confidence scoring. Disclaimer: DNS records indicate mail routing and authorized senders, not necessarily where data is stored.
