DLSS 5 leaked and modders are putting Nvidia’s AI effects on everything

Modders are trying out an unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 on Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, and a bunch of other games after code for the AI upscaling tech appeared in an early-access build of NBA 2K27. Members of the RenoDX modding channel on Discord reportedly found a way to extract the DLSS "Neural […]

Trump’s EPA wants to let data centers hide their air pollution

Just as new data centers face growing backlash from neighboring communities, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is about to make it harder for people to weigh in on any pollution those centers create. The EPA plans to toss out a federal rule requiring public notice and an opportunity to comment when certain industrial sites […]

Save hundreds on a TCL mini-LED TV with quantum dots and high refresh rate

Amazon and Best Buy have the TCL QM7L mini-LED TV on sale for as low as $797.99 for the 55-inch model, a $200 discount from the usual price. We spotted scaling discounts on larger sizes as well, although Amazon already listed low stock on the 65-inch version. While OLED televisions are great for deep black […]

Agentic Coding and the Design Space You Don't See

One of the interesting things about agentic coding is that it changes where the effort of programming goes. A lot of traditional programming is occupied by fairly mechanical work: remembering APIs, writing glue code, satisfying the type checker, moving values between representations, fixing mundane bugs, etc. This work isn't necessarily where the difficult reasoning happens, but it consumes attention anyway. If agents take care of more of it, there is potentially more room to think abou...

rag-sanitizer v0.2: escáner de corpus RAG pre-ingestión con embeddings reales y CLIP

rag-sanitizer v0.2: escáner de corpus RAG pre-ingestión con embeddings reales y CLIP Detecta documentos poison en un corpus RAG antes del chunk+embed, no después de la recuperación. v0.2 añade embeddings reales (MiniLM) y detección multimodal (CLIP). El problema La mayoría de la defensa contra envenenamiento de RAG opera post-retrieval o en inferencia . Pero el corpus se puede envenar antes de la ingesta: un documento insertado con texto que imita el estilo del cor...

La automatización no elimina tu trabajo, eleva el listón

Cada vez que una nueva ola de automatización llega a este oficio, alguien anuncia que nuestro trabajo desaparece. Y cada vez ocurre lo mismo: el trabajo no desaparece, sube el listón. Lo he vivido varias veces. Cuando las herramientas empezaron a hacer por nosotros lo que antes hacíamos a mano, lo rutinario se volvió barato y abundante. Pero eso no nos dejó sin nada que hacer; simplemente cambió qué se consideraba valioso. La tarea que cualquiera, o cualquier máquina, podía hacer dejó de dist...

Алерт, который все игнорируют, хуже, чем его отсутствие

Алерт, который все игнорируют, хуже, чем его отсутствие. Потому что отсутствие алерта — это честное «мы не следим за этим». А игнорируемый алерт — это ложное ощущение, что следим. Я видел это много раз. Система шлёт десятки уведомлений в день. Большинство — ни о чём: временный всплеск, которое само прошло, порог, выбранный слишком строго, ошибка, которая ничего не значит. Люди быстро учатся: эти письма можно не читать. И они перестают их читать — все, включая те редкие, которые действительно ...

AI Coding Tools for Automated UI Design: Stats, Costs, 2026

Originally published at nlocoding.com 82% of UI designers now use AI tools for at least one stage of their workflow. (Adobe, 2026) AI coding tools for automated UI design are not a fringe experiment—they're the new baseline. In 2026, the line between developer and designer blurs with every Figma plugin update. Companies using these tools ship new interfaces 42% faster (McKinsey, 2026). You can't afford to sit this out. Not if you want to compete. AI coding tools now repla...

Anthropic Shows Claude Can Automate Parts of AI Alignment Research, With Limits

Anthropic has published research showing that Claude can autonomously perform meaningful parts of AI alignment research, including proposing methods, running experiments and analyzing results. The work, called Automated Alignment Researchers , is a research demonstration rather than a new general-purpose safety product. Still, it offers a concrete example of how AI agents could accelerate a difficult technical task while leaving humans responsible for defining goals and judging results. Ac...
