AliExpress Runs Silent Audio That Breaks Bluetooth Headphones

AI lets engineers generate code faster than colleagues can review it. The result is systems nobody understands and a labour market splitting in two.

Meta's Muse Glimmer is a 30B-parameter open-weights model built to run on consumer hardware. How quantization and speculative decoding made it fit.

Researchers recovered AI models' hidden reasoning by replaying encrypted traces into cheaper sibling models, exposing keys, passwords and personal data.

Docker Sandboxes runs AI coding agents in disposable microVMs so they can work unsupervised without touching the host machine. Why the design is contested.

A Mario Kart explainer shows how the Pareto frontier separates objectively bad choices from merely personal ones — and where the method runs out.

Cloudflare has open sourced Cloudflare OS, which tracks what data agents read and checks that anyone viewing their output is allowed to see it.

A US military GPS jamming exercise blinded civilian aircraft across New Mexico. What that had to do with a fatal medevac crash near Ruidoso.

Databricks tested AI coding harnesses on its own codebase. The most minimal one, Pi, had the highest pass rate at a fraction of the cost of rivals.

A 304-billion-parameter DeepSeek model now runs in production on a single AMD MI300X GPU, unquantized, after hand-written fixes to the serving stack.

An Xbox outage locked players out of disc games they owned. Here is why the plastic in the tray no longer guarantees you can play.

Archaeologists estimate three million people lived in the pre-Columbian Amazon, concentrated in about 3% of the forest. Why the clustering matters more.

Why hex37 is not running a piece on OpenAI's public post about Apple: the primary source could not be retrieved and nothing else here is publishable.

Why organisations keep choosing speed over understanding, even after being burned: the people who order rushed work rarely pay for the cleanup.

Hungary's Paks nuclear plant is shutting down entirely because the Danube has fallen below its cooling intakes — during a heatwave that spikes demand.

Norway invented global demand for farmed salmon. Now its fjords are losing oxygen — and the industry is too valuable to slow down.

Crews in St. Mary's, Newfoundland are removing 900,000 litres of fish sauce abandoned in 2001 — and with it, an accidental chemistry experiment.

How Cloudflare stores AI models and their KV caches in fewer bits to double concurrent requests per GPU, and what it does to guard the shared memory.

AirLLM runs 70B and even 671B-parameter AI models on consumer GPUs by streaming one layer at a time from disk. Here's why that works.

Why AI-generated header images on personal blogs make readers suspect the writing is machine-made too — and why indie sites are judged more harshly.
