There's always some useful bit of work left undone, or showstopping bug which remains unfixed, a thousand jagged edges as yet unsolved by the greatest minds of their generation. I wanted to subscribe to an events calendar. I had a URl. I had…
The following presents a fast algorithm for volume computation of a simple, closed, triangulated 3D mesh. This assumption is a consequence of the divergence theorem. Further extensions may generalise to other meshes as well, although that is presently out of scope.
Luanti has been removed from Google Play due to a DMCA notice from Tracer.AI. We have filed a counter-notice, but this isn't the first time.

Successful contributions to open source projects are a kind of currency. GitHub in particular encourages this in a number of ways: by showing avatars of contributors on repository pages, by showing your contributions to your followers via the activity feed and by signalling contributions per day on the activity graph…
A benchmark for evaluating AI agents on research workflows across scientific domains
Nitter gets a cease & desist from X while the atproto makes the Internet more open.
The backlash against data centers is difficult to understand if your salary depends on your not understanding it.
Anthropic is opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers.

Four decades ago, when the Berkeley Internet Name Domain Server launched, it stored DNS records in "zone files". You could edit these files in vi , but BIND had to be told to reload them before your changes took effect. Later, other DNS servers came along, like Daniel Bernstein's tinydns, which served records directly…
