To become a billionaire, one must create a startup with exponential growth, which can be achieved by making something users love so much they tell their friends, and then sustaining that growth in a large market. This can be done without cheating, as the key is to understand users deeply and make something that dramatically improves their lives, rather than exploiting them.
The author has updated their project on reverse engineering the 2021 Honda Civic headunit, revealing a vulnerability called "EvilValet" that allows arbitrary code execution via the update path. A new tool, ota-builder, has been published to easily prepare update files.

The author recreated the game Xonix using only the capabilities of the first version of Windows, demonstrating the stability of the original WinAPI design. The code remains recognizable and even compiles and runs on modern 64-bit systems with minimal changes.
In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, it’s been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery — and it’s an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points. The swath of ocean — dubbed the “cold blob” or “warming ...

Thousands of oncologists gave a standing ovation at a Chicago conference for daraxonrasib, a drug that almost doubles pancreatic cancer survival times. This breakthrough could impact Amazon and NASA's plans.
From experience we can plainly claim the following: the most scalable Postgres data-deletion strategies revolve around deleting entire tables. Individual row DELETE is fine at a small scale. However, big batch DELETE operations don't immediately free up physical disk space, add write and replication overhead, and are ultimately not good for large scale row cleanup. If your application ...
The author explained free theorems to a child by comparing them to function machines, then created a game where the child guesses the function machine's output based on its type. The child enjoyed the game and was able to guess some functions correctly, but struggled with others.
The author describes the limitations of large context windows in LLMs, where attention drops off after 100k tokens, making them mostly a marketing number. To avoid this, the author uses a "breadcrumb approach" by writing and passing a spec to new sessions, keeping the working session in the smart zone.
You created a game where players control ghosts chasing Pac-Man with AI, but he turns the tables if he eats a power pellet. The goal is to catch Pac-Man before he clears the maze or escapes after turning the tables.
