When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk loosely agreed over the weekend to slow down AI development, skeptics spotted an ulterior motive immediately. The AI titans had declared that their aim was to "pace the frontier," signing on at least partially to a […]

The company also announced a product called Active Compute Fabric, a network technology that targets the fact that much GPU time is wasted waiting for data to arrive.

Glass Imaging was founded by a pair of former Apple engineers who previously led the team that developed Apple's Portrait Mode.

Though Elon Musk and Sam Altman have supported Dario Amodei's calls to slow the pace of AI development, Jensen Huang seems to feel differently.

Simulating 30 Million Microbes in the Browser WebGPU gives the browser direct access to modern GPU capabilities — not just for rendering, but also for general-purpose computation through compute shaders. But how far can we actually push it? What happens if, instead of running a small compute demo, we try to build a full simulation with tens of millions of active objects? That is what I wanted to find out. Background For this experiment, I decided to revive an evo...

How I patched the COSMIC compositor: a 5×5 workspace grid for Pop!_OS Context My workspaces are a map, not a scroll. One 4-finger swipe moves me north, south, east, or west across a 5×5 grid that wraps at the edges, and login drops me on the center cell — so no workspace is ever more than two gestures away, and my hands navigate it without looking. COSMIC, the desktop this runs on, is System76's Rust/Wayland desktop environment for Pop!_OS, built on the Smithay compositor librar...

Last October, a "minor" dependency bump in a PySpark job cost us four hours of downtime and roughly $12,000 in cloud compute credits. A developer had tested a new UDF locally using an older version of delta-spark than what we ran on our EMR cluster. Locally, the serialization worked fine. In production, the different Scala/Java versions in the underlying runtime caused a java.io.NotSerializableException that only manifested when the data volume hit a specific shuffle threshold. We spent ...

Hey everyone, I’ve been building Craftfolio, a tool for creating developer portfolios and resumes. I started it mainly as a way to push myself beyond smaller coding projects and build something that could actually be useful to other developers. Some of the things I’ve built into it include live previews, importing content, different portfolio styles, HTML export, and PDF printing. I’m still working on it, and I’m particularly interested in feedback on the UI, overall experience, an...

It happened during a quiet Friday sermon at the mosque. The room was hushed, filled with the soft hum of devotion, when a piercingly loud notification chime erupted from a phone in the front row. The owner scrambled to silence it, visibly flustered, his face turning beet red as heads turned in irritation. That moment wasn't just a nuisance; it was a profound social disruption. I sat there wondering why, in an era where our phones are capable of processing millions of instructions per second, the...

This is the third entry in A Field Guide to GTK Widgets — a series about which widget to reach for, when, and what bites you when you do. We're jumping straight to lists, ahead of layout and navigation, because it's the material the reference documents worst. Each post stands on its own, and the complete, runnable code for this one lives in the companion repo . The list you'd build without thinking Say you're showing a handful of tasks. The obvious way to do it doesn't req...

Takeaway up front: If your target list is company-specific, a frozen “top 100” grind is often the wrong loop. Cohort freshness — what this company is sending in this hiring wave — usually beats another pass through the same classic set. Hey — quick intro so you know what you’re following. This account is for SWE new grads, interns, and job seekers who are tired of treating interview prep like an infinite LeetCode treadmill. The plan here is simple: short notes on company-scoped...

Monday is when agent fleets wake up hungry. New model defaults. New tool schemas. A coordinator that “helpfully” spawns three friends. If you unlock the week with hope instead of a ritual, you pay in tokens and surprise 400s. Here is a fail-closed Monday unlock I use as an editor of operator briefs — schemas first, permission second, spend third. Steal it. 0. Unlock means “prove the latch,” not “open every door” Fail-closed is simple: missing, unknown, or unvalidated ⇒ s...

For the past few years, I've been working on web scraping and have had to use various tools, jumping from site to site to extract data. Because of this, I decided to bring them all together in one place: decoders/ encoders, regex tools, formatters, and more. kitdecoder.com Take a look and let me know what you think.

Se preferir acompanhar por vídeo, é só dar o play. Introdução Nos últimos meses codei um sistema de ponta a ponta, em parceria com uma empresa que queria colocar um produto no ar.

An srsRAN bug report describes a capture taken on a 5G base station's F1-U interface that decodes as nothing but GTP. The SIP signaling and the RTP voice are simply not there — Wireshark shows GTP tunnels and stops. They are there. F1-U carries PDCP PDUs inside GTP-U tunnels, and in this lab build, PDCP runs the NEA0 null cipher with no SDAP header, so the inner IP packet starts at a fixed 3-byte offset in every T-PDU. Delete those three bytes, re-frame the result as LINKTYPE_RAW, and 2,960 i...

Somewhere between clicking “submit” on a job application and hearing anything back, a decision is increasingly made without a person in the room. A model reads your CV, scores it, ranks it against others, and passes a shortlist up the chain — or quietly filters you out before a recruiter ever sees your name. It is sold as the fair option: tireless, consistent, free of the gut-feel prejudice that dogs human hiring. The evidence, gathered over nearly a decade now, points the other way. Automated h...

Hi HN, I've been using Claude Code, Codex and Cursor quite a bit lately, and I found myself checking their usage limits all the time. Most of the tools I found for this live on the desktop or in the menu bar. What I really wanted was to pull out my phone and see how much I had left, especially when I'm away from my computer. I ended up building Nowdex for this. The main thing is the iPhone widget. It shows your current usage and reset time directly on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Right now it...
