Ladybird is moving to a tighter development process with only project maintainers introducing code changes. This change is necessary to ensure security and accountability as the project prepares for its first alpha release.
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.
Physicists have found a way to describe how space and matter interact in a quantum universe. They used a new code that incorporates "magic" from non-Clifford gates to make space bend and interact with matter.

The user fine-tuned LLMs to write like 90s tech writers using Microsoft manuals and achieved convincing results. Fine-tuning is a cost-effective way to adapt models to specific styles, but requires high-quality training data and careful parameter selection.
Real-time up/down status heatmap for 80+ popular internet services. See which services are up, degraded, or down — right now.
Databow is a new open source command-line tool for querying databases with ADBC drivers. It provides a unified interface for SQL systems across the data stack with fast queries and a small footprint.
A space-based GNSS interference source has caused widespread interference in Europe, Greenland, and Canada since 2019. The source was identified as a constellation of Russian early warning satellites in Molniya orbits.
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.
ESP32 Bit Pirate is an open-source firmware for multi-protocol hacking and debugging. It supports various digital and radio protocols via serial terminal or web-based CLI.
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.
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.
Scientists have developed a new method called Sidewinder that can assemble dozens of genetic sequences simultaneously with high precision, far surpassing conventional methods. This breakthrough promises to unlock the potential of generative AI in biology by enabling fast, affordable, and accurate physical construction of novel genetic sequences.
You're experimenting with connecting a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2350 to a Z80 CPU and exploring its address and data bus. The minimum clock speed possible for the Z80 is around 5KHz, and you're looking to implement a bus read using the Pico C/C++ SDK functions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your project needs ripgrep, or oasdiff, or some Rust linter that ships only as a GitHub release. Python can't install it. So you either tell every developer "go install it yourself" — and watch versions drift and CI break — or you hand-write a download-and-verify wrapper package, and copy it into every repo, for every tool. ohbin deletes that. Declare the tool in pyproject.toml; ...
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.
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.
The author set a challenge to write a short blog post and succeeded in doing so, despite their tendency to write long posts. They demonstrated a simple method for generating continuous color palettes in R and showcased its application in generative art.
ANSI escape codes are kinda crazy, no? I mean, crazy in the sense that they are such a simple and enduring concept. Every time your terminal renders bold red text or a progress bar crawls across the screen, you’re taking advantage of a standard that is almost 50 years old. I’m not the biggest computing history buff, but I think understanding and admiring these standards can give us a greater ...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
