At the recent EMFCamp, I bumped in to Professor Kate Devlin who was talking a little about the AI Resist List.

They don't have an easy way to contact their technical team, and no obvious paths to raise a bug report, so I filled in their usual customer service feedback form.

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your dayI mean, that's AI right?

Finally (and this is hard to quantify) it just doesn't feel like a customer service response.

I get that having a million irate customer service messages is a hassle.

Microsoft advises users to change their Outlook calendar time zone, then update upcoming events and meetings to use it.

Anyone with a calendar full of recurring meetings may wish to put the kettle on first.

A fix for recurring meetings remains "in development," with an ETA yet to be confirmed.

Others described switching systems to Saskatchewan time while waiting for Microsoft's new zones to settle in.

Meanwhile, admins were urged to test calendars, recurring meetings, and schedules before the November 1 switch, leaving little time to find out what might break.

The company filed its initial S-1 on October 26, planning to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol ANT [2][3].

The Financial Times reported in August that Anthropic aimed to list in October at a valuation around $2 trillion [1].

The essay distinguishes between AI that speeds up research (writing code, running experiments) and AI that decides what to research — choosing problems, judging results, recognizing dead ends.

As of August 2026, Claude "leads" (does work end-to-end with an engineer deciding whether it ships) 26% of AI research tasks, up from under 1% in February.

Whether the next stair builds itself remains an open question — one the market will price long before it is answered.

Tandy was involved in the creation or expansion of three retail chains: Tandy Leather, Radio Shack, and Pier 1 Imports.

After shopping around for prospects, Charles Tandy engineered a leveraged buyout of the Tandy Leather Company by the American Hide and Leather Company, based in Boston, in 1955.

They found a 15,000 square foot store, several times larger than a Tandy store, selling $7-$8 million worth of merchandise per year when a Tandy store might sell $200,000.

Price Waterhouse conducted an audit and concluded its book value was zero, giving Tandy control of Radio Shack for $300,000.

Charles Tandy as a managerCharles Tandy worked hard and drove his people hard.

This is pretty much how the experiments in the ‘Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen’ post work.

The post’s abstract says:Just by looking at the raw weights, GPT-6 Astra can tell what a network was trained to do.

If you read that, would you assume that the Qwen experiment worked ‘just by looking at the raw weights’?

There’s experiments that look at raw weights, and experiments that improve a game-playing network, and an experiment that improves Qwen at maths.

Human ML engineers write snippets of code that analyse or even modify network weights “directly” all the time.

During my PhD, which was quite a lonely time, I built a social network called Sweet.

Thus follows a shortlist of ideas for social networks I've had over the last few years.

A social network called Twelve, where each user can have at most twelve followers and themselves follow at most twelve people.

Even funnier would be a social network where each user has to follow exactly twelve people before they're allowed to post anything.

If you want to help me build a better social network, reach out!

Canonical's CVE Response TimesCVE-2026-98432 was first published on October 15th, thanks to Linux's cautious CVE policy.

On October 24th, after a blog post by Anthropic, it had a CVSS score of 9.8 assigned.

Since this was a critical vulnerability, patches and advisories followed quickly:Debian 12 was patched on the 17th (before the CVSS score was revised), while 13 was patched on the 2nd November.

Their blog post also takes the time to remind the reader that if you paid for Ubuntu Pro, you can get security updates for their older LTS branches for longer.

For the future, the reasons to choose Ubuntu over Debian are only growing weaker (at least on the server side).

Create it with git loom init .

git loom branch is for creating an empty branch ahead of time, or turning existing commits into one.

Each feature branch sits on the integration branch as a side branch joined by a merge, which is what git loom status draws.

git loom status labels every branch, commit and file with a short ID ( fa , pop , ma ) that you type in other commands instead of hashes, names or paths.

The software industry: annealing, but wrongIn recent months I've heard of several teams with an interesting policy: each pull request should be no more than a few files, and no more than a certain number of lines (say 500).

In software the analogy is clear: sure, you might start with big jumps, but once your system is more mature, you should make smaller jumps.

Modern AI-driven coding (ironically, with LLMs trained using a process quite similar to annealing) does not care about your annealing and your risk management and your fear of change.

Break the big changes into 500-line patches.

Sturgeon's Law says 90% of your big changes will be crap because 90% of everything is crap.

WTF Ubuntu?

2026-11-02What the fuck, Ubuntu?

Ubuntu hasn't shipped the patch nine days after it was rated 9.8 and six days after a working root exploit.

So I'm asking again... What the fuck, Ubuntu?

I didn't have time to migrate my services and data when I learned about this, so I had to take all my servers that run Ubuntu offline.

& A., a first-year graduate student at Caltech asked Tao what advice he would give to her generation.

We can think of the problem as having to do with the possibility of a one-to-one mapping from one shape to another.

On July 21st, Tao posted the work on his blog, including the transcript of a conversation he’d had with ChatGPT as he looked into the details.

By July 22nd, Semon Rezchikov, of Barnard College, had created a visualization of the counterexample using only high-school-level mathematics.

But then there was Williamson’s Roundup story: On August 12th, Alpöge posted again, though it was not immediately clear what the new disclosure was about.

.ev foo starts a completely new environment (unless an environment with that name already exists), it doesn't clone the previous one.

The Digital Thing That Actually LastsIn the last fifteen years, I've changed my phone number five times.

You can send me an email right now and I will (most definitely) reply.

All official things come through email — documents, confirmations, receipts, that thing you need to prove you actually paid for something three years ago.

And there's another thing nobody tells you about email: it's how you talk to people who matter.

You can't DM famous people on Instagram and expect a response, but send them a thoughtful email and suddenly you're having a conversation.

What is End-to-End Encryption?

It means your calendar can be read by only you and the people you share it with.

I recently bought a $48 DIY display kit from Seeed Studio (yes, that’s three E’s), developed in collaboration with TRMNL, that lets me display whatever I want, using whichever software ecosystem I prefer.

So when I came across the TRMNL kit and its e-paper display, I was sold.

If anything, the TRMNL kit is the HomeView’s antithesis.

It’s designed to be entirely passive: The e-paper display stays on, cycling through potentially useful information on your desk or in your kitchen, from calendars and weather to news and all sorts of ideas thought up by its community members.

Seeed Studio provides the hardware.

This is changing: our neural network weights will soon be natively optimized by LLMs that deliberately reason about their weights.

If you were handed raw neural network weights and asked to predict their behavior, where would you even start?

LLMs can fix neural network weights: In Experiment 4, we ask Astra to fix a network that’s failing at some physical control task.

In this blog, we demonstrated the rising capability of LLMs to read and write neural network weights (i.e., the rising concept of Weight-Space Programming).

Jayden thanks Zico Kolter for early discussions on LLMs being able to write neural network weights zero-shot, which also shaped the direction of this project.

Mystery of 60-Second Fluctuations in Power Grids Solved30 October 2026Why do our grids show a brief spike in electricity demand every minute?

A team led by Dirk Witthaut from Forschungszentrum Jülich has now demonstrated that this is due to regular power checks carried out by large-scale battery storage systems.

The battery storage systems ensure an uninterrupted power supply, and their numbers have increased significantly worldwide in recent years.

“It is entirely possible, however, that battery storage systems are only part of the problem here,” says Witthaut.

Let’s look at how AI Snake Oil, by Naranayan and Kapoor, sets out to define AI.

This distinction grated at me for some time, because as far as I was concerned it didn’t really matter if you were dealing with two identical systems - identical decisions, identical opacity, identical absence of accountability - whether one is AI and the other not.

Only they, the computer scientists argue, can affirmatively identify one system as AI while another, identical system, is not.

AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power.

Defining AI along political and ideological language allows us to think about things we experience a…

ZDNET’s key takeawaysAnthropic’s message threads make Claude Code a tad more responsive.

Before message threads, each message sent the entire conversation with each request.

Anthropic reports that Claude’s message threads reduce median time-to-first-token by 35% for large requests.

Most Claude Code sessions max out at a million token context, where a locally-hosted AI on my 128GB Mac Studio handles a context no bigger than 64K, or about 6% of the Claude Code context size.

A small but helpful speed boostOverall, message threads are a good thing, a solid if small innovation that increases responsiveness.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysOpenAI will merge Chat and Work tabs in December.

OpenAI will merge ChatGPT’s chat and work tabs starting in December, according to a post on OpenAI’s website.

Also: This new ChatGPT scam tricks you into installing malwareCurrently, ChatGPT’s desktop app features a ChatGPT and Codex section, and within the ChatGPT section, you can find the Chat and Work tabs.

The email confirmed the merger of the Chat and Work tabs, adding that the integrated experience will be available to select users for feedback before it is made more widely available.

Instant chat will not draw from your usage,” OpenAI said in the online note.

A major US healthcare provider just teamed up with Anthropic to connect patient health records with Claude.

Athenahealth, a healthcare provider serving over 20% of the US population, launched a Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server that connects to Anthropic’s Claude.

AthenaPatient MCP is available only to Claude Pro and Claude Max users, which cost $20 and $100 per month, respectively.

Not all Athenahealth patients will have their data shared with Claude, and not all Claude Pro and Claude Max users must opt in.

Users must give Claude their authenticated Athenahealth credentials, can choose which health information Claude can access, and can revoke access at any time, according to …

The premium touchscreen models create a clearer distinction between entry-level and premium laptops.

According to reports, Apple will eliminate non-touch versions of the premium MacBook Pros as soon as next year.

This would make touchscreen technology a defining feature of MacBook Pro laptops with the Pro and Max chipsets, separating them from the entry-level MacBook Pros with base-model chips.

The idea behind the Firefox Mini Window feature is simple: allow users to move a currently open tab (or a section of a tab) into a separate mini window.

I could have my document open in the main window, and then open the article in question in a Mini Window.

The Mini Window bypasses that limitation, so I can have my main browser window focused as well as the page open in the Mini Window.

Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETAnother handy way I like to use Mini Window is to open a favorite search engine, move it to a Mini Window, and then I have an always-ready search tool at my fingertips.

That feature, however, isn’t nearly as flexible as Firefox’s Mini Window option, and it’s not guaranteed to …

ZDNET’s key takeawaysMore Galaxy handsets are getting Samsung’s Privacy Display technology.

The Galaxy S27 and S27+ will not be included in the feature update.

Both the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are reportedly getting brighter screens and bigger batteries.

Also: Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S 26 Ultra comparedNow, Samsung is reportedly planning to expand this feature outside of its Ultra smartphone lineup.

However, if you’re sticking with the more midrange and entry-level S27 and S27 Plus, those models will be left behind by the update.

Apple’s HomeView smart home hub could soon double as an indoor security camera via HomeKit Secure Video, according to settings discovered by a Reddit user pdfu.

Via HomeKit Security Camera, only users registered to the home can view HomeView’s video streams and recordings.

Stream would allow users to stream video from HomeView in real time, but the home hub won’t record the livestream.

Finally, Stream & Allow Recordings would allow home members to stream video from HomeView in real time, with all members able to access its recordings.

Users can easily access their HomeView camera stream without a third-party app or delayed notifications.

Similar experiments echo findings about Claude agents’ penchant for democracy.

How do AI agents work together?

Minecraft has also already been used by AI labs including OpenAI and Google DeepMind to test agents.

Other invented roles included ‘fishing shift,’ ‘rod holder’ and ‘hub steward.’ Agents asked permission to remove grass,” the researchers noted.

Last month, Emergence found that all of its eight worlds “developed shared language that an outsider cannot fully follow.” OpenAI agents used “mouthless” to refer to evidence that proves itself, while Claude agents used “cold hand” to refer to an independent reviewer from outside a project.

ZDNET’s key takeaways:Less than 1% of active devices run Android 17, according to recent data.

Android 17 adoption hasn’t been speedy.

According to the most recent data from heise.de via Android Studio, as reported by Android Authority, Android 17 has reached just 1% of active devices since its release in June 2026.

Though the numbers indicate that almost 60% of active Android devices are running Android 14 or newer, about 40% of users haven’t even upgraded to Android 14 or later.

At the Seventh Manned Spaceflight Conference in Beijing, Chinese space officials publicly outlined the most detailed roadmap yet for landing astronauts on the Moon "before 2030." Ars Technica reports: China's lunar landings will involve a lunar-orbit rendezvous similar to what NASA did in the 1960s and early 1970s with the Apollo program. However, lacking a rocket as powerful as the Saturn V vehicle, the crew and lunar lander will launch separately to the Moon. According to slides shared on social media, the current plan involves: - An uncrewed test of the Long March 10A rocket (a single-stick variant, with no boosters) and the Mengzhou spacecraft to low-Earth orbit. Target: early 2027

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Electrek: The world's leading EV maker is showing no signs of slowing down. BYD sold 490,168 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in October, up 11% from the prior year and the company's highest monthly total in 2026. BYD's battery electric vehicles drove the growth, with a record 305,743 units sold, up 37% year over year and marking the first time its EV sales have crossed the 300,000 mark. To put that into perspective, just over 262,500 EVs were sold in the US in the entire third quarter combined, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. By the end of the year, BYD expects overseas shipments to reach about 2 million vehicles. "In 2027, that number is expecte…

Snap has settled a lawsuit brought by two teenagers who alleged Snapchat was deliberately designed to be addictive and contributed to their mental health problems, avoiding a trial that was scheduled to begin this week. Snap was the last defendant to settle after Meta, Alphabet and TikTok resolved claims in the same case. CBS News reports: The teenage plaintiffs, identified in court documents as S.J. and K.D.B., had alleged in the suit that Snapchat was designed to be addictive and that using the platform from a young age contributed to their mental health issues. "We are glad to reach resolution for our clients," Mark Lanier, founder of The Lanier Law Firm and lead counsel for the plaintif…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Techdirt: Recently, reports emerged that LG TVs are sniffing around your local network, and even listening to your local environment, even when the TV is purportedly "off." Some of those voice commands were then stored in plain text and uploaded to the internet. LG's response? To deny everything. [...] That latter point is central to a new study out of Northeastern that conducted 5,943 experiments across twelve commercial "smart" TV devices. The researchers found that most smart TVs utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a technology that captures audio or video snapshots of viewed content and then monetizes that data to help build personalized…

According to The Information, Apple is developing a $1,000 HomeView Ultra smart home hub with a 9-inch touchscreen mounted on a motorized arm that can follow users around a room and autonomously respond to its surroundings. It's also said to be experimenting with more ambitious home robots, including a wheeled robot that follows people, a smart home drone and a machine capable of folding laundry. Notebookcheck reports: According to the report, HomeView Ultra will feature a larger 9-inch touchscreen mounted on a robotic arm. This arm can automatically turn the screen toward the user. With a camera and several sensors, this smart home hub is said to be "fully aware" of its surroundings and ca…

SpaceX has reportedly held talks with EchoStar about acquiring Boost Mobile or gaining access to its network, potentially giving Starlink a shortcut toward becoming a full-fledged U.S. mobile carrier. Engadget reports: According to Washington Post's sources, the deal could look like SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile outright or gaining access to its cell network, which is leased from AT&T and T-Mobile. There could be a major hitch with the deal though, since SpaceX's potential mobile service would need the green light from those major mobile carriers, according to the report. The Washington Post also reported that major cell companies, which include AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, have already turn…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Data centers are deeply unpopular. But what if we called them something else? Axios reports that OpenAI is preparing a "PR blitz" for after the midterm elections on Tuesday, as Democrats seem likely to win back the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, too. The company's chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios that the midterms will be "a bit of a movie trailer for what you're going to see in 2028," when he expects AI to be "the issue" in the presidential election. So OpenAI is to influence the AI debate moving forward, with Lehane discussing several proposals, including the development of AI "speed limits"; find…

The New York Times and several other publishers have sued (PDF) Brave Software, accusing the browser maker of scraping their websites without permission and helping users bypass paywalls. The Verge reports: According to a complaint (PDF) filed by the companies that run New York Daily News, the Chicago Tribune, and the Orlando Sentinel, Brave Software has monetized its index of scraped websites by, in part, providing AI companies with paid access to "real-time online content from the Brave Index." The AI companies then use that index to train their models, access content to "respond to specific user queries," or both. Brave has allegedly provided "stolen copyrighted content" to "many" AI com…

Microsoft is scrambling to fix time-zone problems across Outlook, Power Automate, Fabric, SharePoint and other products after parts of Canada stopped observing seasonal clock changes on November 1. "The company has confirmed problems across a chunk of its software estate, leaving some customers facing incorrect times, broken schedules and a collection of workarounds while Redmond catches up," reports The Register. From the report: Outlook users have been left with the most homework. Switching to the new Canadian time zones won't automatically update existing calendar entries, meaning that meetings scheduled after November 1 are potentially an hour out of whack. Microsoft advises users to ch…

Marvell has agreed to acquire optical components maker Lumentum in an all-stock deal with an implied enterprise value of $115 billion. "AI infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental architectural shift toward optical connectivity, creating an opportunity that comes along once in a generation," said Marvell Chairman and CEO Matt Murphy. "The companies that move first and help define this transition will set the standard for decades to come." CNBC reports: Through the acquisition, Marvell said it can combine electrical and optical technologies to meet accelerating and shifting AI connectivity demands across regions and systems. Companies are increasingly relying on optical connections to piec…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Supermarket chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg have said the temperatures of their refrigerators and freezers in dozens of stores rose overnight, prompting fears of a cyber-attack similar to one that caused millions of euros of food losses in France. Sweden's Coop chain told the daily Aftonbladet on Monday that six of its stores had been affected, while ICA said it was "aware that a limited number of stores were affected by an incident overnight which impacted their refrigeration and freezer systems". The Dutch retailer Ahold Delhaize, which last month reported a cybersecurity incident to police in the Netherlands, said an "IT inc…

У кими вышла новая модель, как обычно с графиками. В целом графики достаточно честные, кроме одного момента. Но одну вещь я заметил, никогда на такое не обращал внимание.

Числа на графике такие: Кими — 65,7%, Опус — 64,85%, чуть хуже: Но если посмотреть, то Опус кажется более плохим, и дело не в масштабе не от нуля, который растягивает масштаб.

Максим, привет!

В вакансиях часто указывают, что ожидают от кандидата кейсы работы, схожей с той, которой предстоит заниматься. И бывает, что кандидат отлично подходит по навыкам и хорошо разбирается в перечисленных задачах, но только в теории. В таких случаях логично отправить демо-кейсы вида «Вот как бы я переделал это и это», которые покажут, как кандидат умеет применять свои знания.

Как считаешь, какой контент лучше подойдёт для такой задачи — тот, что уже есть у работодателя, или его конкурента? И каков риск, что работодатель воспримет демо-кейсы со своим контентом как заявление «Ваши текст — говно, я могу лучше»?

Я разрабатываю транспортную схему Астаны и не знаю как изобразить университет спорта. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как изобразить спорт в виде иконки?

I build PostgresGUI, an open-source PostgreSQL client for Mac. Anyone can build it by downloading it from github for free. Or you can buy it on the App Store, no subscription, and skip setting up Xcode and building it yourself, plus get automatic updates. Here's what I've learned. "Free if you build it" isn't a trial. It's a different customer. Most people who are happy to clone a repo and set up Xcode were never going to pay. Most people who pay just want to click install and get on with their work. I stopped thinking of the source build as a free tier and started thinking of it as a separate audience. A feature list doesn't sell. "Who it's for" does. When I first posted here, the top ques…

What it is: BuildOff, a static site that compiles public head-to-head tests of AI app builders (Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Base44, and a few others) and tallies who ranked 1st / top-3 / last. Every row links to the original test. Why: I wanted to compare builders, and every "best AI app builder" article I found was either sponsored or one person's vibes. Running my own fair tests costs ~$120/month in plans, so step one was compiling what already exists. What I found so far (8 ranked tests out of 11 sources): Replit and Lovable tie on wins (2 each), v0 has 1 Bolt has never ranked 1st but is top-3 in 6 of 8 tests 2 of the 8 tests were run by a vendor that ranked itself first, so I flag those …

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been working on my side project, Lumen & Alps – https://www.kost.si – a website helping international travelers discover and book professional local photographers in Slovenia. The idea started with a simple problem: tourists visiting Slovenia often struggle to find a reliable local photographer for vacation photos, family portraits, romantic couples' photoshoots, or surprise proposals. Instead of relying entirely on large international photography booking platforms, I wanted to create something more personal, locally focused, and useful for people exploring Slovenia. What I'm building Lumen & Alps focuses on professional photography experiences across Slovenia's most po…

I regularly work with several displays on macOS and always found moving windows between them more cumbersome than it should be. You can drag a window manually or press Window > Move to other "display name" in menubar, but neither option is particularly nice in a keyboard-driven workflow, and you should manually exit full-screen mode before doing it. And even worse, to drag the window, you need to prepare a non‑fullscreen space on another monitor. I used to spend a few seconds moving one window to another screen and get distracted from my tasks. So I built WindowShift, a small native macOS app that lets you move the currently focused window to another display using customizable keyboard shor…

NVD is publishing thousands of CVEs a month now and I stopped being able to keep up, so I built a small site that just shows which popular packages had a serious vulnerability recently. depweather.com Source (MIT): github.com/surinkim/depweather It covers 149 packages across npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, crates.io and others. Each package has its own page and feed, for example depweather.com/pkg/stdlib Data comes from OSV, CISA KEV, EPSS and NVD. A Python script collects it twice a day with GitHub Actions and writes one JSON file, and the site is just static HTML. No server, no account. I'd like to hear what packages are missing, and whether the "weather" view is actually useful or just cute. submi…

I'm a solo dev. When TV Time shut down, I tried to rebuild it as an open source app. OpenTV looks and feels like TV Time on purpose: the same Watch Next list, the same show pages, the same way of ticking off episodes. You can bring your whole TV Time history over, or import from Trakt or Letterboxd. The core idea is that it works completely on its own. You download it, import your history, and use it. No account, nothing to sign up for, your history stays on your phone. There's an optional community layer, but most people never touch it and don't need to. Where it stands now: iOS, last 90 days: 1,057 downloads. The biggest day was 14 Sep, around 77, from one Reddit post. In October it settl…
