libghostty-vt 1.0 is now stable, with a guaranteed C ABI and packaging support for major platforms. It’s already powering terminals across JetBrains, Neovim, KDE experiments, and many other projects.

Asahi Linux's latest progress report highlights M3 support going general, major upstreaming wins, and Thunderbolt finally landing. It also details a per-process page-size hack that lets Windows games run outside muvm, plus M3 GPU reverse-engineering progress.

A hybrid model combining Jev with Opus matches frontier accuracy while cutting costs by over 4x, and it outperforms Luna because Jev’s confidence is better calibrated. Decision models are far cheaper and faster than frontier models, but still trail top accuracy on hard cases.

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production around mid-2027 after weak sales, shifting focus to its new Cybercab model. The angular pickup’s sales fell sharply from earlier predictions, and its design also blocked approval in key markets like Europe.

Emoji are stuck in a noun-cataloging phase, but ancient writing systems show the future lies in flexible tone and combination, not just adding more tiny pictures. The next step for emoji is using modifiers and compound glyphs to convey mood and grammar, just like Egypt and Sumer did millennia ago.

Researchers escaped Firecracker's microVM and achieved code execution as root on the host by locating and modifying a vCPU thread's saved registers to redirect execution. The exploit ran a proof-of-concept write call, restored the original state, and left both the VM and Firecracker running.

Akrotiri, a Bronze Age settlement on Santorini, was buried by a massive volcanic eruption and preserved like Pompeii, offering a rare glimpse into a sophisticated seafaring society. Ongoing excavations reveal advanced architecture, vibrant frescoes, and clues about daily life before residents fled the disaster.

The recent AI sell-off is a mild correction for the S&P 500, but it has caused a crash in chip stocks, which have fallen 36% from their record high—matching their Covid-era decline.

A travel blogger spends three days in San Marino, the world's oldest republic, and finds the tiny microstate pleasantly dull yet historically fascinating. He explores its geography, improbable survival, and quiet appeal.

A new METR report indicates Anthropic's AI systems have already crossed the "dramatic acceleration" threshold, giving researchers a ~10x uplift. This suggests a potential intelligence explosion within a year, far outpacing current security and control measures.

A series of articles guides experienced Linux developers through building bare-metal UEFI applications, covering tooling, compilation, bootable media, and file management. The articles are meant to be read in order.

A new optimization speeds up top-K GROUP BY queries by using per-partition slot counters to safely prune partitions that can’t affect the final result, delivering up to 1.6× faster performance on ClickBench queries.

Ampere has open-sourced Panthera, its cycle-accurate CPU performance model, to let researchers and engineers study and correlate a commercial-grade simulator against real production cloud silicon. The release includes code-name mappings and microarchitecture details across AmpereOne generations, with permissive licensing for community use and adaptation.

China's robot factories aren't actually automated—Unitree builds its humanoids mostly by hand, with only $50 of machinery per robot. But as American labor costs flip the economics, the West is poised to win the race to build the machines that make robots.

The article explores the military and civilian history of searchlights, from improvised Civil War naval lights to dazzling displays at world fairs. It highlights their overlooked impact on warfare and spectacle compared to nuclear weapons.

GitHub unveiled "Project Rubicon," a new Git storage architecture that decouples storage from compute and scales to thousands of writes per second, supporting up to 5,000 concurrent agents pushing 7,200 times per second to a single repository. The design stores immutable Git objects in Azure Blob Storage while a replicated log service called Ref-CAS handles coordinated reference updates, minimizing contention for massive agent-driven workloads.

Researchers uncovered over 800 fake restaurant ordering sites that clone real brands and steal credit card details plus SMS verification codes. These convincing impostors use reverse-proxying to mimic legitimate sites, making them nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.

devvm gives every project its own isolated VM, so coding agents and attacks stay sandboxed while your secrets remain on your machine. It's free, open source, and runs with a single command.

Google has acquired Crusoe's pre-developed Wyoming data center site, marking the completion of Crusoe's early-stage work there and adding to its growing AI infrastructure portfolio.

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is now generally available, introducing native 15-second video creation, multi-turn conversational editing, and better reference adherence at a 30% lower price.

Audio-video sync can silently break due to audio encoder priming delays, even when it seems fine. Mediabunny now measures and compensates for these delays to guarantee sample-perfect sync.

tmux-restore saves your tmux sessions and agent conversations every minute and at shutdown, restoring everything on next start so coding agents resume mid-conversation.

Sodium-ion batteries are approaching cell-level cost parity with LFP, with supply agreements exceeding 70 GWh worldwide. Despite higher upfront costs, they could offer a 21% lower total cost of ownership over 20 years, according to Wood Mackenzie.

Waymark is a Python library for building durable background tasks on Postgres, with no extra infrastructure to deploy. It compiles workflows to a durable VM, so tasks survive crashes and restarts, and includes retries, schedules, and a built-in webapp.

Chomsky trashed statistical language models as mere "butterfly collecting," but this essay fires back. It defends them as legitimate science, explaining what they are and why they offer genuine insight.

Peer production has upended traditional hierarchies through projects like Linux and Wikipedia, but this volunteer-driven, commons-based model now faces challenges from corporate encroachment and internal inequalities.
