GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Today, we’re announcing Qwen3-Coder, our most agentic code model to date. Qwen3-Coder is available in multiple sizes, but we’re excited to introduce its most powerful variant first: Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct — a 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 35B active…
I set out a while ago to make a Game Boy cartridge from scratch. This is not a novel goal; bootleg Game Boy cartridges have existed almost as long as the Game Boy itself has, and there are many third-party cartridges now available for purchase , or that have copyleft designs .
Plane Airgapped runs Plane on networks with no internet access. How it works, what you bring into the network, how licensing and upgrades work offline, and who it’s for.
I served a 10MB gzip bomb as an image in HTML email. Most clients and proxies coped, iOS Mail crashed and Evolution wrote 100GB of cache to my disk.
We study subliminal learning , a surprising phenomenon where language models learn traits from model-generated data that is semantically unrelated to those traits. For example, a "student" model learns to prefer owls when trained on sequences of numbers generated by a "teacher" model that prefers owls. This same…
A subset of AI markets have crystalized in the last 12 months, with the likely market leaders for the next year or two suddenly clear

Apparently this horse hasn't been beaten enough.
Why do facts bounce off some people? It’s not about logic; it’s about structure. Your worldview isn’t a list of opinions—it's a living network. And right now, it's at war.

Recently, I modified anthes.is to use my own subsetted versions of Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono. Following the principle of eating your own dog food , I also switched to Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono in my terminal. After a month of daily use, I can now assess this font’s practical advantages…
Today we're excited to announce OSS Rebuild, a new project to strengthen trust in open source package ecosystems by reproducing upstream artifacts. As supply chain attac…
Some teams require that every TODO comment in a codebase gets logged in the bug tracker. Others automatically delete any “stale” TODO that has been in the codebase for over a year. Don’t do it!
Let me get one thing out of the way immediately: LLMs are helpful. This isn't about whether LLMs can write code. They can. It's about why vibe coding might be the worst career investment you'll make.

Chrome finally pulled the trigger on the web’s best ad-blocker, uBlock Origin. Now that Chrome has hobbled uBO, Firefox — my beloved —1 is surging again. I want to do my part to convince you to switch to Firefox and show you how I use it.

A modular embedded ecosystem—bare-metal hardware, software stacks, and a cloud platform for real-time IoT and distributed systems.
Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls. Airlines don't just sell seats - they manage a dynamic inventory of fares, divided into booking classes (fare buckets) with different prices and rules. For the technically curious, understanding…
The News/Media Alliance has successfully secured the takedown of notorious paywall bypass website 12ft.io.
Investigate Anker’s recalled power banks. See how CT scanning uncovers battery defects and improves safety in lithium-ion designs.
Looking at old applications, we always wonder who in their right mind thought of building them so badly. But every repository has its story and every effort has noble origins. I encountered such an ap
If search is the game, looks matter
The International Mathematical Olympiad (“IMO”) is the world’s most prestigious competition for young mathematicians, and has been held annually since 1959. Each country taking part is represented by six elite, pre-university mathematicians who compete to solve six exceptionally difficult problems in algebra…
