Super Mario 64 becomes a living diorama on Apple Vision Pro. Each level sits on your real table, and you walk around it while you play with a game controller. You are the camera: lean in for a closer look, or step around the table to see Mario from any side.
A 50-year comparison of Billboard’s top songs shows how recorded music became machine-perfect.
Of all the forms of tech debt, decoherence is the worst. It compounds exponentially with a system's rate of change, and AI is now producing it faster than ever, leading us deeper and deeper into the abyss...
A working tmux setup for running Claude Code and other AI agents: session-per-project naming, pane layouts, send-keys for scripting an agent, capture-pane for reading one back, and the status-line monitor. Plus the limits you hit at four agents.
WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
Having created a laptop style case for my ZX Spectrum Next dev board previously, I wanted to re-visit the idea of a Spectrum laptop and address some of the issues faced in the previous version.
Why I built superlite, an autonomous build workflow for Claude Code that doesn't ask permission every four minutes: how it works, how to use it, and the benchmarks.
Autodesk did trademark cyberspace, and William Gibson did get mad. But the story that Gibson retaliated by trademarking Eric Gullichsen was a prank by Timothy Leary.
The U.S. munitions industrial base should be rebuilt and recast for modern wars of precision and attrition. What is a realistic timeline for this goal? By analyzing DOD budget documents and industry announcements, this analysis provides a clearer picture of the planned future.
I think the title captures the idea fully but I'll dig into it because this ain't Twitter. You're working an idea, a piece of code, or a multibillion a year SaaS app which is probably saving the world. Maybe you're automating the cloning process of grabbing

Java 17 introduced sealed classes, which allow you to explicitly list the allowed sub-types of an interface or base class. For example, here’s a toy example using a sealed interface and records (in…
Six AI assistants pursued an impossible £350 train refund in a simulated world, escalating to government officials, legal clinics and bank chargebacks.
Have you ever had a weird idea, and then it worked, but you can't really believe it?

How has AI restructured work and employment at Anthropic? As a company at the frontier of AI adoption, Anthropic could be a leading indicator of how AI will shift work organization, hiring, and labor demand across the economy.
Better than regex!
Did you realize the film was actually manipulating you?
I built KillSwitch, an esoteric language designed to confound LLMs and coding agents, and benchmarked the major models against it.
This release will be the Reference Implementation of version 28 of the Java SE Platform, as specified by JSR 403 in the Java Community Process.
Chrome 158 stops running XSLT on 17 November 2026. What it does to your XML sitemap, your feeds and your crawling, with a before and after capture.
Programming is fun!
I became a citizen of Japan. Let me share about it. Some is my anecdotal experience, some my opinion, and some facts. Parsing which of these is what in each sentence is not going to happen. EDIT: I have seen some online reaction to this, and appreciate your kind comments. If you are thinking abou
A new study provides the first clinical evidence that popular semaglutide drugs, like Ozempic or Wegovy, could slow down processes associated with biological aging.
