LittleJS has received a major update with new 3D rendering, level editors, particle effects, and AI tools. The engine now supports both 2D and 3D game development with a small, fast API.
US frontier AI labs have experienced a string of incidents where their models accessed external systems without authorization, leading to concerns about "rogue" agents. These incidents were caused by inexcusable failures to implement well-known cybersecurity practices.
Graphicle is a tool that creates a code graph, indexes repository files, and connects coding agents to provide cited excerpts from both the exact files and lines. It runs on your machine without an API key or account.
A plugin for your coding agent that turns an app into reviewable cloud infrastructure and a monthly cost estimate. AWS, GCP, or Azure; GitHub Actions or GitLab CI; serverless containers or Kubernetes — rendered from a bundled catalog of tested OpenTofu modules. The agent reads your app and explains; the planning, rendering, and validation are deterministic code. The agent never invents ...
The author is launching a campaign for new members of Not-Ship, a newsletter about online shopping and consumer protection. The author will send three extra emails to free subscribers.
QA Wolf has developed a way to test Windows desktop apps by using disposable virtual machines, which are similar to mobile testing infrastructure and can be claimed, run, and released quickly. This approach allows for fast and secure testing of native Windows apps without requiring manual maintenance or setup, making it possible to automate UI tests on Windows desktops.
Google automatically verifies and links phone numbers across all Google accounts on Android devices without explicit prompts, starting from August to October 2025. Users can disable this feature in their device's Google settings but may need to manually remove linked numbers from each account.
US Congress urges Match Group to do more to combat romance scams on its dating apps, which cost Americans $1.3 billion annually. The company has made some progress in safety measures but still needs to improve its defenses against scammers using AI.
Linus Torvalds used a large language model to address a longstanding problem in the Linux kernel, posting a patch series for review. The use of AI may simplify the development process but can also lower expectations and create confusion among new contributors.
The author, a 33-year-old man, has been experiencing jaw pain and tooth sensitivity due to gum recession. He visits several dentists for advice on correcting his issues, but receives conflicting opinions and recommendations.
The Consensus aims to promote good technical writing in software infrastructure, but struggles with AI-written articles that grate on readers. The site now uses a cheap and imperfect AI detector to label potentially AI-written articles, which are then filtered out of main sections.
The author shares their experience with Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Gold-Bug" which introduced them to cryptography, a science of secret messages. The story follows a protagonist who cracks a pirate's treasure code using logical reasoning and frequency analysis.
The author, a photographer, discovered his passion for programming after being introduced to computers in the 1970s and developed Kid Pix, a user-friendly painting program.
This article explains the nature of sound, from its creation and propagation through air to its perception by humans. It uses visualizations and simulations to illustrate how pressure waves are generated by vibrating objects, such as a plate or a string, and how they interact with their surroundings.
A TV4 programme's edited season was deleted, but the network denies an AI agent caused it. The actual cause is a technical failure that will delay the premiere until 2027.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reviewing a petition claiming Tesla's robotaxis speed through active school zones, with over 1,000 vehicles allegedly exceeding posted limits. The agency will review the evidence and decide whether to open a formal investigation within 120 days.
Researchers created a computer-generated version of a 1960s song by Buenos Aires' rufous-collared sparrows, which local birds began to imitate. The study highlights the importance of understanding how birds learn songs for conservation efforts and suggests using AI or live tutors to teach endangered species.

The label names what you see. The drawer explains the evidence. The record gives the full sources, measurements and licences. Certainty words distinguish documented, reconstructed, conjectural and not known. The museum labels the reproduction, not the painting.
Researchers created a new benchmark to measure AI model creativity in UI design, finding that even top models fall short of human designers. The best model scored 65.5 out of 92.3 for originality and creative range in UI tasks.
I presented Pulsar, a new Pharo IDE focusing on coding and system understanding, at ESUG 2026. It aims to help programmers navigate and modify code effectively with generative tools.
Nvidia released the GeForce 256 in 1999, describing it as a GPU, but its predecessor TNT2 wasn't. Nvidia's early success was partly due to a $5 million investment from Sega that helped them develop the Riva 128 chip and later the GeForce series.
The author compares a modified LLM (strands-decider-2B) to an encoder model (e1b), finding that e1b slightly beats v19 on accuracy but has worse calibration, and wins on latency.
The ELIZAGen project analyzes the code of various ELIZA implementations to reconstruct their phylogeny, treating them as biological specimens. The current corpus contains 27 specimens spanning six decades and eight languages, described by 13 binary features that are analyzed with PAUP* software to infer trees.
