Jack Little and Cleve Moler, cofounders of MathWorks, recognized the need among engineers and scientists for more powerful and productive computation environments beyond those provided by languages such as Fortran and C. In response to that need, they combined their expertise in mathematics, engineering, and computer…
[This is a guest post by Po-Shen Loh, crossposted from his blog, where an illustrated version appears. This blog post was initially written in a different file format and converted using AI. —…
We rewrote our Rust WASM Parser in TypeScript - and it got 3x Faster
Analysis of Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 (Max, Default Fallback) and comparison to other AI models across key metrics including quality, price, performance (time per Intelligence Index task & time to first answer token), context window & more.
An enticing social media preview summary.
Why a filter is slowest when it keeps half of random input, and what a branchless rewrite gains there and loses at 1%.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — June 17, 2026 — SMPTE®, the home of media professionals, technologists and engineers, has announced that its entire Standards catalog is now freely available to the global media technology community.
Today we are introducing the second generation of Inkling models with the release of Inkling 2 Small.
Solar and batteries are cheap enough that most people can get most of their electricity from them, and save money. This equation gets better and better over time as their costs decline.
Claude Code will soon run auto mode by default for Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team plans, enabling longer-running autonomous work, and catching more dangerous commands.

Literate programming is the idea that code should be intermingled with prose such that an uninformed reader could read a code base as a narrative, and come away with an understanding of how it works and what it does. Although I have long been intrigued by this idea, and have found uses for it in a couple1 of different…
Dual GPU setup: run Qwen 3.6 27B at a Q8 quantization at 80+ tokens/sec with 39GB total VRAM
Apple today announced changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission.
The Solar Sharer Offer launches 1 July 2026. Here's what changed, how the cap works, and how to maximise free daytime electricity for your home.
OpenClaw has overtaken React to become the most-starred non-aggregator software project on GitHub — just five weeks after passing Linux.
With all the July runs in, dynamical models give a ~90% chance of a record-setting event
Jamf Threat Labs uncovers North Korean hackers exploiting VS Code to deploy backdoor malware via malicious Git repositories in the Contagious Interview campaign
Some readers will know, but most will not, that I am a bit of a self-confessed foodie. I enjoy cooking, but especially so when others get enjoyment from it. Be it friends, family, or neighbours, and sometimes all three, I’m always up for putting something together.
Now that we have actually good AI, I have this vision of a form of computing that doesn’t involve me using a computer so much. Imagine you had the day’s emails to go through. It would be nice if the ones that required a simple decision could be dispatched with a few pen-strokes: I could write down a date that would…
Meta censored a political organisation during a national voting campaign, blamed its own automation, then claimed its automated systems had detected another automated tool.
A new system developed at MIT CSAIL helps users design three-sided fasteners called “Y-zippers,” then 3D prints them. The devices can be attached or embedded to camping equipment, medical gear, robots, and art installations, seamlessly switching each item between soft and rigid.
OpenAI addresses Apple’s baseless lawsuit, corrects claims about its employees, and shares messages documenting what happened.
A substantial improvement in intelligence and behavior over Composer 2, particularly on long-horizon agentic tasks.
This is a long article, so I've broken it up into a series of posts, listed below. You can also read the full work as a PDF or EPUB .
I gave Claude Code access to my pen plotter. Not directly. I was the interface between the two machines. Claude Code produced SVG files that I plotted with my pen plotter. With my smartphone I captured photos that I pasted into the Claude Code session, asking Claude what it thought about the pictures. In total, Claude…
We've been experimenting with running coding agents autonomously for weeks at a time.
These release notes are optimized for viewing inside Squeak, as they contain a lot of interactive examples. On this page, interactive links open in SqueakJS, which is a browser-based Smalltalk VM with some limitations. For the best experience, download Squeak and read the release notes there.
The industry conflates perfection with over-engineering. They're not the same. Over-engineering is solving the wrong problem; a perfect solution exists once the requirements are clear.
