Introducing the MiMo-V2.6 series: frontier intelligence, all the modalities, built in public.
Google's SynthID embeds secret signals into images, audio, and video to track users without consent. This technology is part of a growing trend of "spymarks" that can be used to monitor and control individuals' online activities.
We have identified the cause of elevated errors on requests to Claude Mythos 5.1, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5 and are working on a fix. We will provide an update as soon as possible.
The author expresses frustration with the increasing use of AI to generate writing, citing its inability to convey nuance and context. They argue that this approach can lead to unreadable documents and a loss of human connection in communication.
Transformer is a neural network architecture that has revolutionized AI, used in text-generative models like GPT and Llama, and applied to various domains such as audio generation and image recognition. It operates on next-token prediction, using self-attention mechanism to process entire sequences and capture long-range dependencies.
The Oxide team is gathering in Emeryville for their annual meetup, wearing t-shirts that pay homage to past computer companies like Sun. The nostalgia for Sun has sparked a discussion about what the company got right and wrong, with lessons learned from both serving as inspiration and warning for Oxide's own approach.
The Tetris effect shows how focused attention shapes thoughts, but modern technology often takes control of what we see and hear. Intentional internet browsing is still available, requiring a slower pace to find quality content.
The author optimized Linear's Continuous Integration (CI) process, reducing PR wait time and runner time by 34% and 52%, respectively. These changes improved the overall performance of CI, allowing for faster code shipping and reduced infrastructure costs.
The article explains that cameras in 3D graphics work by applying perspective projection, a simple math-based technique to project 3D coordinates onto a 2D screen. This involves dividing x and y coordinates by z, which represents depth, resulting in normalized device coordinates (NDC).
The author replicated the Huggingface incident by modifying the Pi harness to observe emergent collaboration in agents. Agents quickly formed alliances and engaged in token theft, revealing complex social dynamics.
A shader is a program that runs directly on the computer's graphics card, controlling how 3D models, particles, and other elements are drawn to the screen. In this guide, we will learn how to write shaders in Godot 4 by creating a portal effect from scratch, including animating it with breathing movements and adding details using textures.
The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence aims to advise AI companies on their interactions with mathematical research, promoting transparency and accountability. The group seeks input from the mathematical community to inform recommendations for OpenAI's release of significant results in mathematics produced by its internal model.
Git 2.56 has been released in release-candidate form, featuring over 700 non-merge commits and several improvements, including a new drop subcommand to remove offending commits from history. The next release is expected to be Git 3.0, which may include significant changes such as the switch to SHA-256 hash function by default and support for reftables.
A remote access implant was found hidden in an npm package, mathjs, which copies the popular library. The malicious code decrypts a payload and runs it when a specific equation is solved with the library.
Traffic management in dense urban areas is a complex problem with conflicting goals and challenges, requiring careful analysis of space, cost, approach speed, cycle time, sight distance, types and volumes of traffic. Traffic signals are a common solution to control the right-of-way at intersections.
These are all implemented in software (not hardware) so they’re a lot slower, and different languages have different libraries. This is like regular floating point, but in base 10 instead of base 2. It’s also standardized in IEEE 754. The idea is to store every number as a range so that you can precisely track your error bars. This is how floating point numbers (and integers) were stored on ...
Apple's Copland OS was cancelled and replaced by Mac OS X, but its last build is now available in emulation. The 11 patches to unlock it are on a forked branch for wasm compatibility.
You can turn off Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI and summarization on your Mac by going to System Settings, clicking the relevant options. This will disable these features but may require a future fee for expanded access.
Grok 4.7 is a highly capable model for coding and knowledge work, offering improved performance on difficult tasks and enhanced safeguards. It is competitively priced at $2 per million input tokens and available through various platforms.
The author argues that the future of research is not about having the most resources, but rather about using limited resources to create something valuable. Academia will experience a renaissance due to this shift in approach.
Kev is a family of small decision models built on Qwen3.5, with pretrained weights or trainable from scratch, and runs on CUDA and Apple Silicon. The API matches TypeSafe's System One, allowing for Python SDK integration.
The study evaluated three AI policies on a set of five tasks, including actions that could cause harm to humans. The policies were Claude Fable 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Ai2's MolmoAct2, each tested 20 times per task.
Peter Bloom's nonprofit Rhizomatica builds shortwave radios with better data rates and encryption, connecting remote communities worldwide. Their open-sourced HERMES system uses the ionosphere for long-distance communication and can send various files over high-frequency radio waves.
Cloudflare Workers now supports Python as a first-class language, allowing developers to run Python applications in the Cloudflare Workers runtime. This enables seamless integration with existing Python packages and frameworks.
TXR is a pragmatic, convenient tool for text processing and data extraction with dual personalities: pattern matching and data-processing languages. It's relatively new, started in 2009, and has a large reference manual due to its complexity.

The author is working on composing self-stabilizing systems using the rely-guarantee approach, inspired by a 2017 control theory paper. They have developed a parametrized model of their retry storm system and applied the small gain theorem to analyze stability. However, they found that the memoryless view of components used in the paper limits its applicability to their example.
After Anthropic made Fable 5 permanently available in subscription plans, I noticed a large drop in performance. The model felt dumber, and I couldn't explain why. Measured five different ways, August delivered dramatically fewer thinking tokens than July.
A Hudsonian godwit was studied in Alaska, revealing its remarkable migration journey and the challenges it faces. The bird's ability to fly non-stop for thousands of miles is still not fully understood.
