Microsoft released Azure Linux 4.0 in public preview, allowing users to run it on any Azure virtual machine. This marks a shift from a special-purpose appliance distro to a general-purpose Linux distro, built from Fedora with declarative overlays.
This is a reference implementation for autonomous vulnerability discovery and remediation using Claude, which includes a lightweight SDK-only walkthrough and a managed option called Claude Security. The implementation provides a step-by-step guide to building a vulnerability finding pipeline, customizing the logic, and using it with various access to Claude APIs.
Open Code Review is an AI-powered code review CLI tool that identifies code defects and generates structured review comments. It combines deterministic engineering with an agent for precise file selection and smart file bundling.
C++: The Documentary premiered on YouTube, showcasing the language's 40-year success story. Key figures like Bjarne, Andrew Koenig, and Herb Sutter contributed to C++'s growth.
Researchers evaluated three projection sharing constraints in transformers, finding that sharing query, key, and value projections (Q-K=V) achieves comparable or better performance with 50% cache reduction in language modeling. This approach is complementary to head sharing, enabling up to 96.9% cache reduction for practical on-device inference.
The user attempted to build a "fake" GPS module using an ESP8266 to grab time over WiFi for a precision clock, but abandoned the project due to ambitious goals and complexity. The user experimented with NTP and WiFi polling, achieving sub-millisecond accuracy, but struggled with control loop stability and eventually realized a simpler approach using a TCXO would have been more effective.
In my predictions for 2030 I wrote that tech writers would be using specialized LLMs, running locally on powerful hardware. I see hints of this move to “local first” among engineering pundits, but we’re not there yet, in part because of how much more powerful connected frontier models are. That doesn’t mean we can’t experiment, though. That’s precisely what I did last week, trying to ...
The author, who wrote the book Ultralearning, is skeptical of dramatic proposals to reform schools because research consistently shows that direct instruction and practice are the most effective teaching methods. He believes that schools should focus on increasing efficiency and choosing what to learn, rather than trying to make education more like play or using technology to gamify learning.
Blqsort is a fast sorting algorithm that uses branchless partitioning and custom sorting networks for small subsets. It can be used in C++ and C with multithreading support and is suitable for sorting custom data structures.
Bloomberg's S&P Dow Jones Indices will keep existing eligibility requirements for main benchmarks. It rejects proposals to make it easier for large companies to join the S&P 500 Index after going public.
Following a meticulous course of conservation treatment, Eugène Delacroix’s Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople is returning to the Red Rooms, joining a number of other famous works by the artist. By restoring the piece’s colours to their original brilliance, once darkened by yellowed varnish, the conservators’ work has allowed its complex significance to shine through once more.
Browser Choice Alliance believes PC users should have free choice and respect, not control or manipulation. Microsoft's tactics restrict user choice, undermine web freedom, and unfairly favor its own browser, Edge.
Magenta RealTime 2 is a live, interactive AI model for music synthesis with low-latency real-time controls via MIDI, text, and audio. It enables musicians to build and play AI instruments on their laptops.
A Linux driver for the ASUS ZenVision lid OLED has been created, allowing users to display images, animations, and more on the 3.5" monochrome screen. The driver is open-source and can be used with the companion app zenvision-studio, with support for other ASUS lid-OLED models also possible.
Tokugawa Edo was a unique city where Japan's elites were concentrated and monitored, with a dual nature of being both the apex of society and a prison. The city's physical form was shaped by the government's need to control and monitor the population, resulting in a highly restricted and stratified urban environment.
AI systems are rapidly accelerating their own development, with Anthropic's Claude model writing 80% of the company's code and improving at a rate of 3x per year. This trend points to a future where AI systems can fully design and develop their own successors.
The US government is secretly funding a propaganda website called La Tilde to influence Latin American audiences through AI-generated content. The site promotes US military operations and downplays national sovereignty issues.

As a technologist and parent, I'm choosing to share enriching aspects of technology with my kids by using physical media like CDs and DVDs, and setting up a home phone and computer with curated access to the internet.
KVarN delivers FP16-level accuracy with up to 4x KV-cache capacity and 1.3x throughput. It's a calibration-free, plug-and-play solution for vLLM with native attention backend.
Cloudflare is acquiring VoidZero, the company behind Vite, but Vite will remain open source and vendor-agnostic. Cloudflare will invest $1 million in a Vite ecosystem fund to support maintainers and contributors.
Scientists discovered that queen bee cells are made of chemically engineered wax that helps future queens survive and develop. The wax's unique properties, such as lower density and higher melting temperature, play a crucial role in raising new queens.
The Go programming language has an experimental feature system that allows users to try out new features before they become part of the standard language. Experimental features can be enabled or disabled using the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable and may have different statuses such as off-by-default, on-by-default, or permanently available.
User connects JLink to Pinecil using a breakout board and female-to-female dupont wires. This setup allows for debugging with gdb using JLinkGDBServer and port 2331.
South Korean government requires internet communities to scan user uploads with AI due to regulation changes. Small businesses face financial pressure to buy datacenter-grade Nvidia GPUs to implement the new requirement.
Arriving as an undergraduate at Cambridge in 1961, Terry Eagleton was both overawed and underwhelmed by his supervisor, a man he calls Greenway in his memoir. ‘Greenway was the first truly civilised man I had ever encountered,’ Eagleton recalls. ‘He knew all about cheeses, wisteria, Rubens’s brushwork, herbaceous borders, flying buttresses, gilt-edged securities, the bird-life of Venezuela, ...
CASTOR is a hierarchical storage management system developed at CERN for archiving physics data. It provides access protocols and manages data storage on disk and tape.
Researchers developed a framework to distill multi-agent debate into a single large language model, improving efficiency by up to 93% and matching performance. This internalization creates agent-specific subspaces, allowing for easier control of internalized reasoning behaviors.
