A malicious litellm package on PyPI contains a .pth file that steals credentials. Users who installed it via pip should rotate all credentials.
The world we live in has two inheritance systems: a biological one that tends to revert to the mean and a legal one that compounds wealth, with the latter dominating the former due to its power-law distribution. The bridge between these systems, built through credentials and education, is being dismantled by artificial intelligence, leading to a widening gap between the wealthy class and everyone else.
Microsoft changed the red X button during the GWX campaign in May 2016 to schedule Windows 10 upgrades instead of closing the dialog. The article does not mention how long it took to restore the ability to move the taskbar after it was removed.
Install macOS packages 7,000x faster than Homebrew. APFS clonefile, parallel deps, native Mach-O parsing. Written in Zig.
Use zswap for most people as it provides automatic tiering between compressed RAM and disk swap, gracefully degrading as memory pressure increases. zram is better suited for embedded systems or specific security requirements, but its block device architecture creates constraints and requires manual setup and management to achieve similar behavior to zswap.
Ripgrep is a fast, cross-platform command line search tool that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw performance of GNU grep, offering features like Unicode support, regex engine options, and file type filtering. It is designed to be a hybrid of grep-like and ack-like tools, providing both speed and smart default searching capabilities, making it a suitable replacement ...
To replace a Linux installation with a new OS, you can pipe a pre-prepared disk image directly to the disk using a command like dd. This works by treating the disk as a file and writing to it directly.
This document provides guidelines for securing the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure to protect against malicious activities and misuse, and to utilize DNS as a foundational layer of security control across the organization. The guidelines include recommendations for blocking harmful traffic, filtering out malicious categories of traffic, and using DNS as an information source to ...

The AI effect on software productivity is not as significant as expected, with no overall increase in package creation or updates. Instead, a concentrated burst of updates occurred in popular AI packages, possibly due to increased funding and enthusiasm for AI.
The user and their friend Hazel hacked into their friend Frank's apartment complex's intercom system to unlock the gate using Apple Home. They used an ESP32 relay board, a Matter library in Rust, and a rectifying regulator to create a discreet device that could unlock the gate with a tap on Frank's phone.
lnav automatically detects and processes log files, including compressed ones, with online help and previews. It outperforms standard terminal tools in processing large log files like a 3.3GB access log.
The user discovered a method called RYS (Repeat Your Self) that improves model performance by duplicating middle layers in a transformer model, and found that this method works on multiple models, including Qwen3.5-27B, confirming that transformer reasoning is organized into discrete functional circuits. The user also found that a single contiguous block in the mid-stack is the best first ...
The performance of io_uring improves significantly on newer Linux kernels, with the fastest configuration being 1.4x faster on newer kernels compared to older kernels. However, a performance regression was observed between kernels 5.4 and 5.15 for both libaio and non-polled io_uring, which was caused by Intel IOMMU being enabled by default between releases.
Pilot safety concerns were filed months before a collision at New York's LaGuardia airport left two pilots dead and 41 injured. The concerns included air traffic controllers' failure to provide guidance on nearby aircraft and a shortage of air traffic controllers.
Researchers present Memory Sparse Attention (MSA), a scalable sparse latent-state memory framework for efficient end-to-end memory model scaling. MSA achieves near-linear complexity and <9% degradation from 16K to 100M tokens.
NanoClaw adopted OneCLI as its default credential and proxying layer for secure agent access. OneCLI's Agent Vault provides fine-grained controls and policies to limit agent access and prevent potential damage.

User tried Autoresearch on a research problem with Claude Code, an LLM agent. The agent improved a Mean Rank metric by modifying a single file, train.py, and reduced the metric by 54% in 42 experiments.
The author created an I/O co-processor called BIO, which is a more efficient and flexible alternative to the Raspberry Pi's PIO, consuming about half the area of the PIO and achieving over 4x the clock rate when ported to an ASIC flow. The BIO uses a RISC-V 32-bit core and has a spacious 4 kiB of RAM, allowing for more complex code and higher-level features such as fixed-point math and ...
Missile defense is a hard problem due to unreliable interceptors and a complex allocation problem. The optimal solution is NP-complete, but recent research has developed algorithms to solve instances with thousands of targets and interceptors in seconds.
Qite.js is a lightweight frontend framework that enhances HTML with declarative behavior without requiring a virtual DOM or complex setup. It allows you to write components in plain JavaScript, separate from HTML and CSS, and works naturally with standard CSS transitions and animations.
The passage of the sun across the sky — dawn, day, dusk, night — drives the clock of life. Some species wake with the sun and sleep with the moon. Others do the opposite, and a few keep odd hours. These naturally driven, 24-hour biological cycles are known as circadian rhythms, and they do more than cue bedtime: They regulate hormones, metabolism, DNA repair, and more. When life falls out of ...
The tool is an interactive 6502 disassembler for Commodore 8-bit computers with features like live disassembly and breakpoints. It has a TUI with modern features like x-ref and keyboard-driven navigation.
The user created Dune 3D, an open-source 3D CAD application, to address dissatisfaction with existing options like FreeCAD and Solvespace. It combines Open CASCADE for geometry and Solvespace's solver for constraints.
Mozilla AI is developing an open-source platform called cq to share knowledge between AI agents, preventing them from wasting resources and energy by learning from each other's experiences. The goal is to create a sustainable and standardized way for AI agents to share knowledge, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible to all without relying on a few big companies.

The author of Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture initially opposed distributed objects due to the difference in behavior between in-process and remote calls. However, microservices don't violate this law as they don't aim for in-process/remote transparency.
