Josh Viertel and his father, Jack Viertel, wrote “The Glass Eel,” a mystery novel about the elver black market that is set in Maine.

But legally catching the young eels, also called glass eels, meant following government regulations to prevent overfishing, including a limit on how many could be captured.

AdvertisementTheir debut novel,“The Glass Eel,” arrived on shelves on Sept. 9.

Jack and Joshua Viertel believe stories about illegal glass eel trafficking in Maine are begging to be written.

She is dragged into the muck of a criminal ring after finding her lobsterman ex-husband’s illegal bucket of glass eels.

If you’re familiar with audio formats, you might’ve expected this to sound different: a muffled but neutral rendition associated with low sample rates.

Yet, the result of the “audio pixelation” filter is different: it adds unpleasant, metallic-sounding overtones.

Abrupt jumps in the waveform are perceived as wideband noise that wasn’t present in the original audio stream.

But enough with image filters that ruin audio: we can also try some audio filters t…

Start your meetings at 5 minutes pastI work as an Engineering Manager at Google, and my teams practice a simple habit – we book all meetings to start at five minutes past the hour (or half hour).

Meetings often don’t finish on time, and the impact is highest with back-to-back meetings.

Because there is strong social pressure not to allow meetings to run much past the top of the hour when that is the official end-time.

The same social pressure applies to meetings that end at the half-hour.

Giving people five minutes to clear their heads, between back-to-back meetings, is a detail that works.

https://pypi.org/project/deno/https://github.com/manzt/denopdeno is being distributed on pypi for use in python projects.

When Virginia Woolf met him in 1939, he famously (and possibly rudely) gave her a narcissus.

When I dug into his history – something I’d avoided doing for so long – more plant-based activity emerged.

Despite growing threats, Sigmund stayed in Vienna until 1938, at which point he and his wife were taken to London.

Had he stayed longer, he may have ended up dying in the camps like all four of his younger sisters.

It was later immortalised in my uncle Lucian Freud’s painting Still Life with Zimmerlinde, which sold for nearly a million pounds in 2018.

The Raspberry Pi 5 under FEX seems to have similar performance to a 2008 Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650.

Couldn’t get the windowed mode to work right on this one, but I swear it’s running on the Raspberry Pi 5.

Most importantly, the Raspberry Pi 5 can play this game at 4K resolution, way above 60 FPS.

So, can you game on a Raspberry Pi 5 with an RTX 5090?

The ROCK 5B edges out the Raspberry Pi 5 slightly in most benchmarks, but not by much.

Py (daughter) is now 11 years old, and she spends a lot of time on Scratch, makes beautiful and fun things.

But, she thinks she is not a programmer as she is moving blocks and not typing code like us.

I had questions for long time about how to move this Scratch generation into programming in general via Python.

In simple words, we have an editor to write code in the left, and a Canvas/stage on the left.

Yesterday I took part in the monthly PyScript Fun call because Nicholas reminded me, had fun to demonstrate it there and watched what others are building.

Working with a garbage collected heapA garbage collected system always has some heap structure wherein it stores the garbage collected data.

The lifetime we can ascribe to Handle is thus some 'local lifetime during which it is guaranteed that garbage collection does not happen.

Our reference's lifetime is too short, and allowing the code to compile would lead to use-after-free.

The lifetime contravariance of garbage collected handles does give us a hint, though: garbage collection is generally applied upon cyclical structures.

I believe, quite strongly yet without proof, that contravariant references have a part to play in describing self-referential data structures in general.

Mechanical sympathyThe above prompting style isn’t just ineffective; it’s counterproductive and works at odds with how LLMs are trained.

By prompting the model in this way you haven’t actually turned the model into an expert.

User: i wanted to ask if you could speak in an informal style Assistant: what do you mean?

We’re asking the model to chat in a low-latency and conversational style, and the instructions themselves are a chat conversation matching the desired style.

Check out how the conversation flows now:User: What’s the tradeoff between Applicative and Monad in Haskell?

Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing at all too!

I've been trying to think through what happens to programming languages and tooling if humans are increasingly no longer writing it.

We've seen TOON (an encoding of JSON to be more token efficient), but what about programming languages?

It has over a thousand programming 'tasks' that people build in various languages.

It has contributions in nearly 1,000 different programming languages.

What did surprise me though was just how token efficient some of the functional languages like Haskell and F# were - barely less efficient than the most efficient dynamic languages.

Process command lines are visible to all processes through /proc on most Linux distributions.

$ echo <(echo secret token) /dev/fd/63 $ curl -fsSLH @<(echo 'Authorization: Bearer 1s7zo2a-mzsLP6yAo2SM') https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projectsThis should prevent leakage of the token via the process table entirely.

This is because export marks a variable as exported, i.e. stores it in the process environment, which is inherited by child processes.

Putting secrets in environment variables is common but somewhat risky, because it makes the secrets available to all processes started from the environment – many of which have no business with them!

Each of these inherits secrets from the proce…

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&strWhile; adding a failing test to the Rust compiler, I stumbled upon a peculiar code generation test:pub fn thirteen_ref ( input: &&&&&&&&&&&&& str ) -> String { // CHECK-NOT: {{(call|invoke)}}{{.*}}@{{.*}}core{{.*}}fmt{{.

// pub fn fourteen_ref ( input: &&&&&&&&&&&&&& str ) -> String { // CHECK: {{(call|invoke)}}{{.*}}@{{.*}}core{{.*}}fmt{{.

Opening up godbolt, the former allocates a new string and calls memcpy , while the latter calls, as the the test suggests, to ::fmt , which is less efficient.

Let’s Call a Murder a MurderThe New York Times has frame-by-frame analysis, from three angles, of the murder of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis yesterday.

It was their final, most essential command.” Let’s stop pussyfooting around what happened here.

Be warned that it shows Good being shot to death (albeit sans gore), and contains many loud profanities.

You can see why she thought to start filming before the murderous agent drew his gun and fired.

I presume the murderous agent will soon be identified, and Callenson’s clear steady-handed footage may be the reason why.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: [P]erhaps AI can, in fact, learn in a more human way -- by figuring out interesting questions to ask itself and attempting to find the right answer. A project from Tsinghua University, the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), and Pennsylvania State University shows that AI can learn to reason in this way by playing with computer code. The researchers devised a system called Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR) that first uses a large language model to generate challenging but solvable Python coding problems. It then uses the same model to solve those problems before checking its work by trying to run the code. And finally, th…

Experts interviewed by NBC News warn that the rapid spread of AI-generated images and videos is accelerating an online trust breakdown, especially during fast-moving news events where context is scarce. From the report: President Donald Trump's Venezuela operation almost immediately spurred the spread of AI-generated images, old videos and altered photos across social media. On Wednesday, after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman in her car, many online circulated a fake, most likely AI-edited image of the scene that appears to be based on real video. Others used AI in attempts to digitally remove the mask of the ICE officer who shot her. The confusion around…

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan says the company is "going big time" into its 14A (1.4nm-class) process, signaling confidence in yields and hinting at at least one external foundry customer. Tom's Hardware reports: Intel's 14A is expected to be production-ready in 2027, with early versions of process design kit (PDK) coming to external customers early this year. To that end, it is good to hear Intel's upbeat comments about 14A. Also, Tan's phrasing 'the customer' could indicate that Intel has at least one external client for 14A, implying that Intel Foundry will produce 14A chips for Intel Products and at least one more buyer. The 14A production node will introduce Intel's 2nd Generation RibbonFET GAA…

Microsoft is testing a new Windows policy that lets IT administrators uninstall Microsoft Copilot from managed devices.

"If this policy is enabled, the Microso…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a big business. While some SEO practices are useful, much of the day-to-day SEO wisdom you see online amounts to superstition. An increasingly popular approach geared toward LLMs called "content chunking" may fall into that category. In the latest installment of Google's Search Off the Record podcast, John Mueller and Danny Sullivan say that breaking content down into bite-sized chunks for LLMs like Gemini is a bad idea. You've probably seen websites engaging in content chunking and scratched your head, and for good reason -- this content isn't made for you. The idea is that if you split informatio…

Longtime Slashdot reader chicksdaddy writes: CES, the Consumer Electronics Show, isn't just about shiny new gadgets.

Valve has added the NTSYNC kernel driver to the SteamOS 3.7.20 beta, laying the groundwork for improved Windows game synchronization performance via Wine and Proton. Phoronix reports: For gearing up for that future Proton NTSYNC support, SteamOS 3.7.20 enables the NTSYNC kernel driver and loads the module by default. Most Linux distributions are at least already building the NTSYNC kernel module though there's been different efforts on how to handle ensuring it's loaded when needed. The presence of the NTSYC kernel driver is the main highlight of the SteamOS 3.7.20 beta now available for testing. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: Italy's communications regulator AGCOM imposed a record-breaking 14.2 million-euro fine on Cloudflare after the company failed to implement the required piracy blocking measures. Cloudflare argued that filtering its global 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver would be "impossible" without hurting overall performance. AGCOM disagreed, noting that Cloudflare is not necessarily a neutral intermediary either. [...] "The measure, in addition to being one of the first financial penalties imposed in the copyright sector, is particularly significant given the role played by Cloudflare" AGCOM notes, adding that Cloudflare is linked to roughly 70% of the pirate …

An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft is celebrating the resurgence of interest in physical media in the only way it knows how... by halting the Windows Media Player metadata service. Readers of a certain vintage will remember inserting a CD into their PC and watching Windows Media Player populate with track listings and album artwork. No more. Sometime before Christmas, the metadata servers stopped working and on Windows 10 or 11, the result is the same: album not found. We tried this out at Vulture Central on some sacrificial Windows devices that had media drives and can confirm that a variety of compact discs were met with stony indifference. Some 90s cheese that was successfull…

The abstract of a paper on NBER: School boards have statutory authority over most elementary and secondary education policies, but receive little attention compared to other actors in education systems. A fundamental challenge to understanding the importance of boards is the absence of data on the policy goals of board members -- i.e., their ideologies -- forcing researchers to conduct tests based on demographic and professional characteristics -- i.e., identities -- with which ideology is presumed to correlate. This paper uses new data on the viewpoints and policy actions of school board members, coupled with a regression discontinuity design that generates quasi-random variation in board …

Microbiology had its golden age in the late nineteenth century, when researchers identified the bacterial causes of tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid, and a dozen other diseases in rapid succession. Antibiotics had theirs in the mid-twentieth century. Both booms eventually slowed. Vaccine development, by contrast, appears to be speeding up -- and the most productive era may still lie ahead, Works in Progress writes in a story. In the first half of the 2020s alone, researchers delivered the first effective vaccines against four different diseases: Covid-19, malaria, RSV and chikungunya. No previous decade matched that output. The acceleration rests on infrastructure that took two centuries to a…

The restaurant industry is trying to figure out whether America has hit peak pizza. From a report: Once the second-most common U.S. restaurant type, pizzerias are now outnumbered by coffee shops and Mexican food eateries, according to industry data. Sales growth at pizza restaurants has lagged behind the broader fast-food market for years, and the outlook ahead isn't much brighter. "Pizza is disrupted right now," Ravi Thanawala, chief financial officer and North America president at Papa John's International, said in an interview. "That's what the consumer tells us." The parent of the Pieology Pizzeria chain filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December. Others, including the paren…

Amazon has begun equipping managers with a dashboard that tracks not just whether corporate employees show up to the office but how long they stay once they're there, according to an internal document obtained by Business Insider. The system, which started rolling out in December, flags "Low-Time Badgers" who average less than four hours daily over an eight-week period and "Zero Badgers" who don't badge into any building during that span. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Linus Torvalds has weighed in on an ongoing debate within the Linux kernel development community about whether documentation should explicitly address AI-generated code contributions, and his position is characteristically blunt: stop making it an issue. The Linux creator was responding to Oracle-affiliated kernel developer Lorenzo Stoakes, who had argued that treating LLMs as "just another tool" ignores the threat they pose to kernel quality. "Thinking LLMs are 'just another tool' is to say effectively that the kernel is immune from this," Stoakes wrote. Torvalds disagreed sharply. "There is zero point in talking about AI slop," he wrote. "Because the AI slop people aren't going to documen…

Craigslist, the 30-year-old classifieds site that looks virtually unchanged since the dial-up era, continues to draw more than 105 million monthly users and remains enormously profitable despite never spending a cent on advertising or marketing. The site ranks as the 40th most popular website in the United States, according to Internet data company Similarweb. University of Pennsylvania associate professor Jessa Lingel called it the "ungentrified" Internet. Unlike Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, or DePop, Craigslist doesn't use algorithms to track users or predict what they want to see. There are no public profiles, no rating systems, no likes or shares. The site effectively disincentivizes the…

AI might replace all of the jobs; that's only a problem if you think that humans will care, but if they care, they will create new jobs.

This morning I shared a link to this site, and the recipient said, “it looks

like a file.” I thought they meant the page was all black and white with no

color. No, they were talking about the URL, which ended with “.html”.This site started almost 24 years ago as

a static site: a pile of .html files created on my machine and uploaded to the

server. The URLs naturally had .html extensions. It was common in web sites of

the time.Over the years, the technology has changed. In 2008, it was still a static

site on the host, but produced with

Django running locally. In 2021, it became a

real Django site on the host.Through all these changes, the URLs remained the same—they still had

I saw a generative art piece I liked and wanted to learn how it was made.

Starting with the artist’s Kotlin code, I dug into three new algorithms, hacked

together some Python code, experimented with alternatives, and learned a lot.

Now I can explain it to you.It all started with this post by

I love how these lines separate and reunite. And the fact that I can express this idea in 3 or 4 lines of code.For me they’re lives represented by closed paths that end where they started, spending part of the journey together, separating while we go in different directions and maybe reconnecting again in the future.#CreativeCoding #algorithmicart #proceduralArt #OPENRNDR #Kotlin — aBe …

I've come to appreciate Google's amorphous nature; what makes me bullish is the clarity of YouTube's AI opportunity.

I see new learners asking about “DSA” a lot. Data Structures and Algorithms

are of course important: considered broadly, they are the two ingredients that

make up all programs. But in my opinion, “DSA” as an abstract field of study

is over-emphasized.I understand why people focus on DSA: it’s a concrete thing to learn about,

there are web sites devoted to testing you on it, and most importantly, because

job interviews often involve DSA coding questions.Before I get to other opinions, let me make clear that anything you can do to

help you get a job is a good thing to do. If grinding

leetcode will land you a position, then do it.But I hope companies hiring entry-level engineers aren’t asking …

This is a passion/hobby project of mine, and my goal is to make it easier to learn how to code.Understanding even a simple line like `let sum = num1 + num2;` is nearly impossible until you invest some amount of time reading/learning to understand how a computer runs this stuff. I'm building this tool to bridge this gap with an execution environment that just explains everything it's doing as it runs code.It's like a debugger, but goes further by explaining each step in beginner-friendly terms, so you can see exactly what's happening behind the scenes.Some other examples that demonstrate how this work:

I kept rebuilding the same CSV workflows (reconciling exports, creating aging schedules, stitching months together), so I built a small browser-only experiment.This lets you build full, node-based data workflows powered by DuckDB — all running entirely in the browser.You can:

- Upload CSVs

- Create and connect nodes

- Reconcile datasets

- Build aging schedules

- Ask questions in plain English and see the DuckDB SQL generated live with full workflows

- Inspect and modify the SQL at every stepThink “Base44-style UX,” but for data workflows instead of apps.This is intentionally early:

- CSV-only

- No persistence

- Usage is cappedBut I’m curious whether this workflow-first approach is useful or…

Hi everyone, I built Ollie because I was noticing a couple of things in the current AI coding landscape: Subscription Fatigue: I didn't want to increase more monthly costs for LLM tools that I use every day. Black Boxes: I wanted to know exactly what data/tokens were being sent to the LLM, so I built a "Glass-Box" interface that shows token-level transparency. Ollie is a native IDE (Mac/Win/Linux) that supports remote and local models and gives you full control over the system prompt. It also includes tools for 3D inspection and manuscript writing, as I wanted a single "creator workstation." I'm adding it as a one-time purchase, I usually prefer when I own my licenses. I’d love to hear your…
