Amazon has announced a new version of its fully autonomous warehouse robot, Proteus, that will can interact using language instead of code. The expanded capabilities come as part of a growing pivot toward automation as the e-commerce giant replaces its human workers with robots. Amazon says the AI-powered upgrade means its human employees can assign […]

my friend just told me about this and i had to share it immediately cursor is giving students 12 months of pro completely free. no credit card. just verify your .edu email and that’s it you get full access to gpt, claude, gemini… all the models. for a whole year. for free. that’s $240 you just keep in your pocket while everyone else is paying $20 a month wondering why their bank account looks sad takes like 2 minutes. go to cursor.com/students, throw in your .edu, pass the verification, done and if you graduated already, you probably know someone still in college who has no idea this exists. do them a favour link in the comments. seriously just go do it right now submitted by /u/NewMuffin3926 [link] [留言]

Architectural change cases extend architecture decision record (ADR) thinking by evaluating how decisions may evolve over time. Change cases expose hidden assumptions and help teams estimate the reversibility and cost of change. By Pierre Pureur, Kurt Bittner

The app AT4K turns the messy Google TV interface into something closer to the Apple TV interface, making it cleaner, more customizable, and less frustrating to use.

AWS Face Liveness has native SDKs for iOS and Android. That works well if you are building fully...

AWS disclosed that Resilient Network Graphs, a flat network architecture based on quasi-random graph theory, is now the default for most new data center builds. The design replaces fat-tree hierarchies with direct ToR-to-ToR mesh connections using passive optical ShuffleBoxes, cutting routers by 69%, boosting throughput by 33%, and reducing network power consumption by 40%.

The company is also introducing a new age verification process in partnership with a European bank.

Got the gguf quantized version running about two hours after release and I genuinely wasn't expecting this from a 12b model. The multimodal stuff actually works, fed it screenshots of my codebase and it parsed the architecture better than most 70b models I've tested. The 256k context window is real and it doesn't fall apart at the edges like llama models do past 32k. Loaded a full repo into context, it tracked references across the whole thing. Single 3090 with q4 quantization runs at about 15 tokens per second which is totally usable for dev work. What gets me is the size range. The 12b sits in this sweet spot where you get strong reasoning without needing multi gpu. Tried the e4b on my laptop with 16gb ram, slower but functional. Already swapped it into my local coding pipeline. The function calling support means I can wire it into my toolchain without the janky workarounds I had before. Native audio input on the 12b is something I haven't touched yet but the implications for voice driven workflows are kind of insane. submitted by /u/Sharkkkk2 [link] [留言]

Bilingual post · Post bilíngue Jump to: English · Português English {#english} Codegen to C: Native Binaries from Pascal (v2.18.0) Sprint 10 ( v2.18.0 ) closes the loop on CrabPascal's most ambitious feature: turning Pascal source into real native executables via C codegen — with string builtins that actually match the interpreter. The pipeline Pascal (.dpr/.pas) → AST → C source + stubs.c → gcc/clang → native binary run skips the last steps and executes in Rust. build-exe is for when you want an .exe or ELF on disk without carrying the CrabPascal runtime as a dependency. End-to-end example program NativeHello ; uses System . SysUtils ; begin WriteLn ( Trim ( ' Hello, native world! ' )); end . crab-pascal build-exe NativeHello.dpr ./NativeHello # or NativeHello.exe on Windows Expected output: Hello, native world! — no leading or trailing spaces. What Sprint 10 fixed Parser: Trim , Copy , Length , and friends are recognized as SysUtils builtins , not mistaken for type names starting with T . A denylist prevents hard-casts that produced invalid C. Codegen: Forward declarations for pascal_* helpers in generated C. WriteLn emits correct %s formats for string expressions. main returns 0 like a well-behaved C program. Tests: build_string_conformance_stdout_matches_run_when_toolchain_present runs only when gcc/clang is available — skipping cleanly in CI sandboxes without a compiler, failing loudly when a compiler is present but output diverges. cargo test --test run_build_parity stubs.c: shared runtime surface String functions implemented once in Rust for run mirror into stubs.c for native builds: // conceptual — see repo for full signatures int pascal_Length ( const char * s ); char * pascal_Trim ( const char * s ); Generated Pascal calls route through these instead of ad-hoc inline logic, keeping Sprint 5–8 string semantics intact in binaries. When build-exe is not enough yet Sprint 10 explicitly did not ship full OO, exception, or generics codegen parity — those appear

Prompts rot. Captured failures compound. Most of the AI skills you are building are mostly prompt, which is why most of them will not survive the year. Not because the prompts are bad. A skill's value is maybe twenty percent instruction and eighty percent scar tissue, and only that second part lasts. The instruction rots the moment the thing it describes moves. Encode how your team deploys and it works until the pipeline changes. Then you are debugging a prompt at 2am, with less to go on than if you had written the script yourself. So before you build another one, stop asking whether the prompt is good. Ask what the skill is holding onto, and whether that thing sits still. A skill rots at the speed of what it touches A skill rots in proportion to how tightly it is coupled to things that move. Generic scaffolding leans on stable ground like a language or a convention, so it ages slowly. Domain logic wired to a codebase that gets refactored every quarter ages fast, no matter how good the prompt is. The difference is the dependency count. "Write a unit test in this style" depends on a language and a convention. Both barely move. It keeps working for years because nothing under it shifts. Real company-specific procedure is the opposite. File layouts. Service contracts. The one edge case in the billing flow. Each detail you pack in is a thread tied to something that gets refactored. Pack in enough of them and the skill is not a tool anymore. It is a liability with good intentions, and it fails silently, because a stale prompt does not throw. It quietly does the wrong thing. That is what the skill-library pitch gets backwards. Volume is not value. A hundred skills wired to a moving codebase is a hundred things to maintain. The only part that compounds is the scar One part of a skill does not rot. The captured failure. The five-line check you added after a model confidently reported a 41 percent dividend yield. The retry that refuses to fire twice so a flaky webhook cannot

Shokz has announced two new versions of its open earbuds.

The chatbot is tricking me!!! 💬📜⌛ When you text a chatbot, it doesn’t actually remember who you are or what you said two minutes ago. The exact millisecond it finishes typing a response, its brain completely wipes clean. To pull off the illusion of a continuous, flowing conversation, the web application secretly copy-pastes the entire past chat history, bundles it up, and blasts that whole massive block of text back into the processor every single time you hit send. Your "chat session" is an illusion maintained entirely by an ever-growing stateless prompt wrapper. You aren't interacting with a growing, adapting mind; you are repeatedly gas-lighting a brand-new entity into believing it has been talking to you for an hour. Wait, I am the one training it ??? 🚦🚸🚲 AI models are inherently blind to context; a computer doesn't instinctively know that a specific cluster of raw pixel values represents a real-world object. It requires billions of examples to be manually labeled by a human mind before the math can understand it. Every time you click on squares containing "traffic lights," "crosswalks," or "bicycles" to unlock a website, you are acting as an unpaid data annotator. You are manually labeling complex, messy real-world data points that feed directly into the computer vision systems of autonomous vehicles. The grand paradox of modern cyber security is that we force humans to act like mechanical data annotators to prove they are not computers, all so that computers can learn how to perfectly impersonate humans. The supercomputer is stupider than a toddler... 🍓👶🏻🖥️ We assume AI read letters and words the same way human eyes scan a page. It doesn't—it is entirely alphabet-blind. Before text hits the AI's brain, a parser chops strings of text into numerical blocks called "tokens." For example, the word "strawberry" isn't seen by the model as ten distinct letters; it is compressed into numerical IDs representing chunked pieces like "straw" and "berry". Because it never s

When people say a database is "ACID-compliant" or "eventually consistent," they are making promises about what happens when things go wrong — concurrent writes, crashes, network failures. ACID and BASE are the two vocabularies for those promises, and knowing the difference tells you what you can and cannot rely on. What ACID guarantees ACID is the contract that traditional transactional databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL/InnoDB, Oracle, SQLite — make about a transaction (a group of operations treated as one unit). The four letters: Atomicity : the whole transaction succeeds or none of it does. If a bank transfer debits one account but the credit fails, the debit is rolled back. There is no half-done state. Consistency : a committed transaction moves the database from one valid state to another, never violating its declared rules (constraints, foreign keys, types). It will not let you, say, leave a foreign key pointing at a row that does not exist. Isolation : concurrent transactions do not step on each other. The result is as if they ran one at a time, even when they actually ran in parallel. (In practice databases offer tunable isolation levels — from "read committed" to "serializable" — trading strictness for speed.) Durability : once the database says "committed," that data survives a crash or power loss. It has been written somewhere persistent, not just held in memory. The payoff is that you can reason about your data simply: after a successful commit, the world is exactly what you asked for. The cost is coordination, which gets expensive when data is spread across many machines. What BASE trades away BASE is the model many distributed and NoSQL systems adopt — think Cassandra, DynamoDB, or Riak — when they need to scale across many nodes and stay up through failures. The acronym is deliberately a chemistry pun on ACID, and it stands for: Basically Available : the system answers requests even during partial failures, possibly with stale or incomplete data rather tha

Most people picture Git as a tool that records changes — a stack of diffs layered on top of each other. That mental model is wrong, and it makes Git feel mysterious. Git is really a small key-value database that stores snapshots, and once you see the four object types it uses, commands like reset , checkout , and rebase stop being magic. Git is a content-addressed object store Everything Git tracks lives in .git/objects as an object, and every object has an ID that is the hash of its own content. By default that hash is a 40-character SHA-1 digest (newer Git supports SHA-256). The same bytes always produce the same ID, so the ID is the content's address — change one byte and you get a completely different object. This is why Git data is effectively immutable: you never edit an object in place, you create a new one with a new name. You can look inside any object with git cat-file . The -t flag prints the type, -p pretty-prints the content: $ git cat-file -t 3b18e512 blob $ git cat-file -p 3b18e512 hello world There are exactly four object types: blob , tree , commit , and tag . A blob is just file contents — raw bytes, with no filename and no metadata. The blob for README.md knows nothing about being named README.md ; it only knows what's inside. A tree is a directory listing. It maps names to other objects: each entry has a mode (like a file vs. an executable vs. a subdirectory), a name, and the hash of either a blob (a file) or another tree (a subdirectory). Trees are how Git represents folder structure. Inspecting one shows exactly that: $ git cat-file -p HEAD^ { tree } 100644 blob a906cb... README.md 040000 tree fe8e3b... src A commit ties it together. A commit object points to exactly one top-level tree (the full state of your project at that moment), plus the hash of its parent commit (or parents, for a merge), the author and committer with timestamps, and the commit message. Running git cat-file -p HEAD shows these fields in plain text. Because each commit nam

For months I had the same annoying problem: folders full of screenshots I couldn't actually use. Lecture slides, PDFs I own, scanned pages — all just images . I couldn't Ctrl-F them, couldn't copy a line out, couldn't get my OS to index them. A picture of text is useless the moment you need to find something in it. So I built CapDrop to automate the whole chain on Windows. This is a write-up of how it works under the hood and the bugs that nearly broke me. The core idea You draw a capture box over a page, pick a page key (Page Down, arrow keys), set an interval, and walk away. CapDrop then: Captures each page on the interval Presses the page key for you to advance Auto-crops margins and toolbars out of every shot Runs OCR locally Binds everything into a single PDF with a real text layer The result is one document you can search, not a pile of images. The stack Electron for the app shell and capture/UI (I already had window management, hotkeys, and floating-bubble export working — no reason to rewrite). A Python OCR sidecar (RapidOCR) spawned as a child process. OCR runs 100% locally; nothing is ever uploaded. jimp for auto-crop, with a 12px safety pad so edge text never gets clipped. pdf-lib to bind the pages and inject the OCR text layer. The Electron + Python-sidecar split was a deliberate choice. People kept telling me to rewrite the whole thing in Python "for the OCR," but the Electron app already had everything except OCR. Adding a sidecar was a few hundred lines; a rewrite would've been months. The bug that cost me two days After adding the OCR pipeline, my global capture hotkey developed a 4-second delay on the first press. Cold, every time. I guessed wrong twice — thumbnail size, then a race condition. Both were dead ends. The only thing that actually found it was instrumenting the hot path with timing logs. The culprit: a fs.readFile of a tiny 749-byte settings.json on every hotkey press. On a cold start that read was taking 2–4 seconds — Windows Defender's

MD5 Is Broken — Stop Using It for Passwords (Use SHA256 Instead) MD5 was invented in 1991. It's 2026, yet I still see developers using MD5 for password hashing in production systems. Let’s break down why this is dangerous and what you should use instead. What Is a Hash Function? A hash function takes any input and produces a fixed-length output called a digest or hash . It is a one-way function , meaning you cannot reverse it to get the original input. Example: ```text id="hash1" Input: "password123" MD5: 482c811da5d5b4bc6d497ffa98491e38 SHA256: ef92b778bafe771e89245b89ecbc08a44a4e166c06659911881f383d4473e94f Even a small input change completely changes the output. --- # Why MD5 Is Broken MD5 generates a **128-bit hash**, which was considered secure decades ago. Today, it's extremely weak. Modern GPUs can compute **billions of MD5 hashes per second**, making brute-force attacks trivial. --- ## The Rainbow Table Problem Attackers use precomputed databases called **rainbow tables**. These tables map common passwords → their hash values. So if you hash: ```text "password123" → MD5 → known value An attacker can instantly look it up. Collision Vulnerabilities Researchers have demonstrated that two different inputs can produce the same MD5 hash . This breaks the core security guarantee of hash functions. SHA256 — The Better Choice SHA256 produces a 256-bit hash and is part of the SHA-2 family. It is currently considered cryptographically secure. Example: ```text id="sha1" "hello" → 2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824 Even tiny changes completely change the output: ```text "hello" → 2cf24dba... "Hello" → 185f8db3... But Wait — Don’t Use SHA256 for Passwords Either This is where many developers make a mistake. SHA256 is not suitable for password hashing . Why? Because it is too fast . Fast hashing allows attackers to brute-force passwords quickly using GPUs. What You Should Use Instead For password storage, use: bcrypt scrypt Argon2 (recommended

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) journey. In my last post, I shared the story of how I got into open source and was selected for GSoC with NumFOCUS to work on the Neural Network Builder API Refactor project for sbi (Simulation-Based Inference). Since the official announcement, the past three weeks have been dedicated to the Community Bonding Period . It is designed to help contributors get to know their mentors, understand the community culture, and familiarize themselves with the codebase and tools. Here is exactly what I did during these past three weeks to get ready for the main coding phase! The Kickoff Meeting We started the bonding period with a great kickoff call on Google Meet. It was a joint meeting that included the mentors for both of the selected sbi projects, the selected GSoC candidates. We were also joined by the mentee who successfully completed the GSoC project for sbi last year! Everyone introduced themselves, and it was incredibly inspiring to meet the team face-to-face (virtually!) and hear about everyone's backgrounds. Having a former GSoC student there was a huge bonus, as they shared some great insights into what to expect in the coming months. Setting Up the Machine A big part of getting started is making sure the development environment is properly configured. During our meetings, we discussed the machine setup in detail to ensure both candidates had everything required to run and test the sbi codebase locally without any hiccups. Embracing AI Coding Assistants One of the most interesting discussions we had was about using AI coding assistants. In the modern development world, tools like these are becoming standard, and our mentors actually encouraged us to use them! However, they emphasized using them carefully and strictly following project guidelines. To help us get the most out of these tools without compromising code quality, the mentors shared some excellent Claude code tutorials and provided us with resour

No Trading Firewall Disclosure: AI tools were used for source collection and editorial review. The article was written by a human author, who checked the facts, code, and conclusions. Crypto risk disclosure: This article is a technical explanation, not investment advice. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any cryptoasset. A no-trading firewall belongs at the publish transition, not in a footer. A draft can be repaired quietly. A public DEV update changes the blast radius, so the pipeline should ask a narrower question before it sends published:true : did the AI-assisted article stay technical, or did it become a token call? The artifact below is a publish-gate test trace. It does not prove legal compliance, DEV acceptance, or model judgment. It only records why a draft can stay editable while the public transition stays blocked. Publish Transition The firewall is easier to audit when the transition is explicit: draft_update: operation: update published: false default: allow repair work to continue public_publish: operation: update published: true default: require clean test trace and human approval Forem's API documentation describes article create and update transport, including the published state. A successful transport is not editorial approval. The gate sits before transport, and it should be stricter when an update moves from draft maintenance to public publication. Test Set The firewall needs a test set, not just a list of forbidden words. These rules are the author's editorial model, not DEV-native, SEC-native, FINRA-native, FTC-native, or OpenAI-native labels.
