When Jarred joined the Zig community about 5 years ago, I described him as someone who had strong "beginner energy". That is, he moved fast and tried a lot of different stuff, jumping head first into problems that he was not yet equipped to solve, leading to mediocre outcomes in terms of engineering, but learning a…
AI changes rewrite economics because codebases with clear, common patterns get more leverage than proprietary or inconsistent systems.
I didn't expect to get so tired of reading LLM output.
If it quacks like a duck...
Grok 4.5 just launched. So we had it, GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Fable 5 one-shot the same interactive apps, then measured latency and cost. Here is who won.
Why & how we rewrote Bun from Zig to Rust
Databricks shares results from its internal coding benchmark, evaluating coding agents on a multi-million line codebase to optimize engineering cost and performance.
A new analysis from OpenAI reveals issues in SWE-Bench Pro, a popular coding benchmark, raising concerns about reliability and accuracy in evaluating AI models.
COMBINE-lab develops algorithms, data structures, and software for high-throughput genomics.
Grok 4.5 is SpaceXSI's smartest model built for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work.
A new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction, now powering ChatGPT Voice.
GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499) is a Linux kernel vulnerability found by Nebu that exists in every major distribution since 2011. Triggering the bug does not require any special kernel config or privilege. By turning it into a 97% stable privilege escalation and container escape, Google has rewarded us $92,337 in…
Today, we’re launching SWE-1.7, the most capable model we’ve trained so far. It reaches frontier-level intelligence at a much lower cost, advancing the…
Today we are proud to announce the availability of TypeScript 7, a 10x faster native port of TypeScript! Since its early days, TypeScript has promised to
The snappiest chat application you've ever used is now available for self-hosting.
Introducing Robostral Navigate: 8B model achieving 76.6% on R2R-CE with just a single RGB camera. No depth sensors, LiDAR, or multiple cameras needed.
Verily, some of our brethren (and sistren) be afflicted with a sinister disposition. While the righteous scroll using the thumb of their right hand - as is good and proper - an accurs'd minority swing the other way. Look, you try writing an interesting bug report without sounding like a clanker, OK! I try to optimise…
Cloudflare Research is building a global consensus service called Meerkat that uses a new consensus algorithm called QuePaxa. We plan to use Meerkat to build a strongly consistent, fault-tolerant key-value store, and other applications.
Apple announced a new six-year commitment with Broadcom to design and produce custom silicon components and cutting-edge wireless connectivity technologies.
Claim: as specified, the UTS #35 transliteration-rule language is Turing-complete. This is an exception in Unicode, where algorithms are deliberately bounded and always terminate. The specification defines a revisiting cursor with no rewrite limit. ICU's implementation implements a per-call cap, but the spec itself…

Discover how communication patterns shape team performance, innovation, and collective intelligence. Learn why idea flow matters more than talent alone.
Noma Labs found a prompt injection flaw in GitHub Agentic Workflows that let an unauthenticated attacker leak private repo data via a crafted GitHub Issue.
If you need a basic NAS and don't care about GUI features, it is suprisingly simple to set up a ZFS dataset and share it over the network using Samba.
This guide is written for practitioners wanting to create disk images of floppy disks with the intention of preserving them for the long-term. This guide will focus on 8-inch, 5.25-inch, 3.5-inch and 3-inch floppy disks and will only focus on getting material from these disks and will not cover writing disks. Other…
We're announcing protobuf-py, a complete, 100% conformant Protobuf runtime for Python that feels like Python and matches the performance of Google's C engine on real workloads.
We trained a model to predict speech from ultrasound video of the tongue, no speaking required. It reads open text, generalizes across people, and reaches a 15.6% word error rate on open-vocabulary speech.
Around 2000 I took an AI course at the University of Guelph. I don’t think I learned too much. We didn’t talk about neural networks, as far as I can remember. My end of term project was, I think, a pathfinding algorithm wearing an AI costume. There were certainly no discussions of transformers. No CUDA. No PyTorch…
The EU's new mandatory ADDW rules could make roads safer by altering distracted drivers, but its privacy safeguards and data handling rules remain a gray area.
