The path to ubiquitous AIBy Ljubisa BajicMany believe AI is the real deal.

About TaalasFounded 2.5 years ago, Taalas developed a platform for transforming any AI model into custom silicon.

AI inference is the most critical computational workload that humanity has ever faced, and the one that stands to gain the most from specialization.

The Silicon Llama is aggressively quantized, combining 3-bit and 6-bit parameters, which introduces some quality degradations relative to GPU benchmarks.

Our first products, beginning with our hard-wired Llama and rapidly expanding to more capable models, eliminate high latency and cost, the core barriers to ubiquitous AI.

A SwiftUI Agent Skill that helps you build better views or refactor existing ones.

Before reading this article, I highly recommend reading Agent Skills explained: Replacing AGENTS.md with reusable AI knowledge.

I’ve been updating my agents file too, but I’m now prompting this instead:A SwiftUI Agent Skill that helps building better views using AI.

The SwiftUI Agent skill is available on GitHub at AvdLee/SwiftUI-Agent-Skill.

ConclusionThe SwiftUI Agent Skill already impacts the code I create with agents and I’m sure it will make your code better as well.

I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure.

When I decided to build my startup on European infrastructure, I thought it would be a straightforward swap.

The EU has real infrastructure companies building serious products.

The EU infrastructure ecosystem is real and maturing fast.

But "Made in EU" is still a choice you have to actively make, not one you can passively fall into.

Overclocking Raspberry Pi Pico 2How fast can RP2350 really go?

Mike starts his Christmas holidays with a deep dive into Pico 2 overclocking, with the assistance of a seasonally appropriate amount of dry ice ❄️A couple of years ago Raspberry Pi posted about overclocking a regular Pico to a ridiculous degree - achieving a 1 GHz overclock and (briefly) boosting the performance of the Pico above the original Pi.

Picos overclock very well, and the original Raspberry Pi Pico will normally run at over 400MHz if given a 1.3V core voltage.

I then did a more rigorous test using the MicroPython performance benchmark to find out whether things were stable.

I also wanted the option of running the Pico f…

The city's waterworks bureau said in a statement on Thursday that it was grateful for the gold donation and would put it to good use - including tackling the deterioration of water pipes.

We introduce consistency diffusion language models (CDLM), which accelerates diffusion language model inference by combining consistency-based multi-token finalization with block-wise KV caching, achieving up to 14.5x latency speedups on math and coding tasks.

CDLM targets both bottlenecks through a post-training recipe that makes fewer-step inference reliable while enabling exact block-wise KV caching.

This design enables the model switch from full bidirectional to block-diffusion models (like [2]), enabling exact block-wise KV caching for finalized blocks.

Across math and coding tasks, CDLM yields faster inference, fewer steps, lower latency, and higher throughput while maintaining compet…

Archival storage poses lots of challenges.

Lots of ideas have floated around—even DNA has been considered—but one of the simplest is to cut the data into glass.

Many forms of glass are very physically and chemically stable, and it’s relatively easy to create features in it.

There’s been a lot of preliminary work demonstrating different aspects of a glass-based storage system.

Putting data into glass is as simple as etching it (to be clear, this is technically not etching, which is a chemical modification of glass’ surface—here, lasers burn features into the interior of the glass).

Gustav Mahler is one of my favourite composers; if you like the emotions of Wagner, and the ideas of Stravinsky, Mahler is the perfect middle ground!

Android will become a locked-down platformIn August 2025, Google announced ↗ that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google.

The promise of Android — and a marketing advantage it has used to distinguish itself against the iPhone — has always been that it is “open”.

But Google clearly feels that they have enough of a lock on the Android ecosystem, along with sufficient regulatory capture, that they can now jettison this principle with prejudice and impunity.

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

Similarly, I'm frustrated that Mastodon (the largest ActivityPub service) doesn't allow Unicode usernames and has resisted efforts to change.

You can also see some of its posts on the Fediverse.

The ActivityPub specification says:Building an international base of users is important in a federated network.

InternationalizationI can't find anything in the specifications which limits what languages a username can be written in.

Finally, the ActivityPub specification has some examples on non-Latin text in names.

I’ve spent a large part of my career working on compilers and programming languages, so when Anthropic announced the Claude C Compiler (CCC), I paid close attention.

CCC has an “LLVM-like” design (as expected): training on decades of compiler engineering produces compiler architectures shaped by that history.

The abstractions developed by compiler engineers turned out to be structured enough that machines can now reason within them.

Looking Inside the Claude C Compiler One of the most interesting aspects of the Claude C Compiler is that Anthropic released the full source history.

That raises the next question: if programming is changing this fundamentally, what happens to software engineers…

Unlike some of my other hobbies, endeavours, and interests, my appreciation for Dillo has not wavered.

Today, a very quick note on dynamic instance type checks in virtual machines with single inheritance.

The problem is that given an object o whose type is t, you want to check if o actually is of some more specific type u.

Vitek also mentions the DFS technique, but as prior art, apparently already deployed in DEC Modula-3 systems.

If you know of any other standard techniques for type checks with single-inheritance subtyping, do let me know in the comments.

Alex Bradbury points to a survey article by Roland Ducournau as describing the DFS technique as “Schubert numbering”.

For this story, we pulled data on the median waistline circumference of women and girls that was gathered between 2021-2023.

For women over 20, measurements were recorded in nine-year age ranges (ex: 20–29 years, 30–39 years) and collectively for all women 20 and older.

Each nine-year age range had a median of 465 participants.

Within each size range, we focused on collecting three main body measurements: Bust, waist, and hip.

All numeric U.S. women’s sizing labels and descriptions were recorded, as well as their corresponding alpha sizes, when available.

The best thing the show’s writers ever did was realize that Joe wasn’t the most interesting character.

Season 2’s opening sequence establishes this wonderfully energetic change of pace with a three-minute scene shot entirely in one take.

The handheld camera swings and pans around a suburban home crammed with coders, construction tools and cables strewn across the ground.

You don’t have to carry your parents’ sins into your relationship with your own children.

Also, while I by no means an expert in the field, and my opinions should be treated with much salt, I tend to believe that children are born good.

I’ve seen people rail against our broken educational system, then demand their children get straight As in school.

There is more we can learn from children than they can learn from us.

Don’t judge your children, love them.

A few days ago, people started tagging me on Bluesky and Hacker News about a diagram on Microsoft's Learn portal.

That diagram has since spread everywhere: in books, talks, blog posts, team wikis, and YouTube videos.

Arrows missing and pointing in the wrong direction, and the obvious "continvoucly morged" text quickly gave it away as a cheap AI artifact.

That, and "continvoucly morged" was a very fun meme—thank you, internet!

😄Oh god yes, Microsoft continvoucly morged my diagram there for sure 😬 — Vincent Driessen (@nvie.com) 2026-02-16T20:55:54.762ZOther than that, I find this whole thing mostly very saddening.

Instead, productivity growth slowed, dropping from 2.9% from 1948 to 1973, to 1.1% after 1973.

What had promised to be a boom to workplace productivity was for several years a bust.

This unexpected outcome became known as Solow’s productivity paradox, thanks to the economist’s observation of the phenomenon.

However, firms’ expectations of AI’s workplace and economic impact remained substantial: Executives also forecast AI will increase productivity by 1.4% and increase output by 0.8% over the next three years.

Therefore, Slok posited, the future of AI productivity would depend on companies’ interest in taking advantage of the technology and continuing to incorporate it into their workplaces.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet is available for $190.

Here's what caught me off guardI've been testing the new Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet since its launch.

Maria Diaz/ZDNETLike other Fire Kids tablets, the Fire HD 10 Pro kids tablet also includes the Amazon Kids+ subscription.

The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro has proven to be faster than both generations of our Fire HD 8 Kids tablets.

Amazon has refined the Amazon Kids platform into a kid-friendly user experience that doesn't feel childish for older kids but that younger kids can still navigate.

Also: Oura Ring vs. Apple Watch: Here's which health tracker is right for youThat's the crux of Oura's latest smart ring, the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic.

Nina Raemont/ZDNETThe Oura Ring 4 and the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic are the same as far as software goes.

This fashion tax makes the ceramic smart ring a fashion accessory first, a health tracker second, and a status symbol third.

If you'd rather track your health with a beautiful and capable smart ring with a pop of color than you would a bulky smart watch or metal smart ring (and you can afford a $500 smart ring), the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic is for you.

Which Linux distribution would be best for your needs?

There are several reasons why I choose Ubuntu Server, and at the top of the list is that it's just easy to use.

I'm going back to 100% charging with the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

My battery life obsessionIn my experience, no topic generates more articles, blog posts, and YouTube videos than how to get the best possible battery life from your iPhone, both daily runtime and overall lifespan.

Once, Apple even added a feature that allowed users to cap battery charge levels to prolong their battery's lifespan.

So, for me at least, the effective lifespan of a top-of-the-line iPhone Pro Max is less than two years.

But I'm not the only one to feel that sacrificing 20% of my battery capacity in exchange for the promise of better battery life isn't worth it.

ZDNET's key takeawaysMy 5G road trip tests included rigorous testing on three Google Pixel phones.

Since I live in Chicago, I have found 5G coverage to be pretty great, but what about when I leave the big city?

Overall, T-Mobile appears to have the most extensive 5G coverage, both in Non-Standalone and Standalone modes, with a coverage rate of 96.2 percent.

All three carriers had decent or good signal strength for over 80% of the trip, which is also really good.

With numbers like that, it's easy to believe that T-Mobile might have what it calls the "best nationwide 5G network".

Across eight different categories of disclosure, the authors pointed out that most agent systems offer no information whatsoever for most categories.

The omissions range from a lack of disclosure about potential risks to a lack of disclosure about third-party testing, if any.

The 39-page report, "The 2025 AI Index: Documenting Sociotechnical Features of Deployed Agentic AI Systems," which can be downloaded here, is filled with gems about just how little can be tracked, traced, monitored, and controlled in today's agentic AI technology.

They did, however, establish user accounts with some of the agentic systems to double-check the actual functioning of the software.

The easy explanation - and how they beat passwordsAs Clark explains, there are two types of call forwarding: conditional and unconditional.

Conditional forwarding occurs when a certain condition is met, such as not answering the call or turning off your phone.

Just open the Phone app on your phone, select the keypad, and enter the code.

If you suspect that your phone is infected with malware or spyware, resetting your phone this way can erase the threat.

If your Apple Watch is blinking low battery, or a friend's phone is about to give up the ghost, your iPhone's USB-C port can come to the rescue.

This keychain gadget saved meThanks to reverse wired charging, you can connect dying devices to your iPhone's USB-C port, and it will sacrifice some of its own battery life.

The USB-C port on newer iPhones, particularly the Pro models in the iPhone 16 lineup, can offer a significant speed boost for data transfers.

The USB-C port allows you to easily connect external storage devices.

But one pair of headphones will always hold a special place in my heart, years after their launch: the Beats Solo 3 on-ear headphones.

The Solo 3's cups are ever so slightly larger, but the Solo 4's new UltraPlush ear-cup padding is more comfortable.

ZDNET's buying adviceThe Beats Solo 4 headphones deliver style and functionality for music lovers.

A note about their fit: if on-ear headphones are your preferred style, you can't go wrong with the Solo 4.

If you're a loyal Beats fan but want Beats headphones with more premium features, try the Studio Pro; you can regularly find them for $250 or less.

US President Donald Trump says he will direct US agencies, including the defence department, to "begin the process of identifying and releasing" government files on aliens and extraterrestrial life.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Scientific American: Why does "bouba" sound round and "kiki" sound spiky? This intuition that ties certain sounds to shapes is oddly reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these instinctive associations between sound and meaning. But now a new study adds an unexpected twist: baby chickens make these same sound-shape connections, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The results, published today in Science, challenge a long-standing theory about the so-called bouba-kiki effect: th…

California's recently-proposed AB-2047 would require 3D printers sold in the state to be DOJ-approved models equipped with "firearm blocking technology," banning non-certified machines after 2029 and criminalizing efforts to bypass the software.

The "upgraded core intelligence" that debuted last week with Gemini 3 Deep Think is now available in Gemini 3.1 Pro for more users. This model achieves an ARC-AGI-2 score of 77.1%, or "more than double the reasoning performance of 3 Pro." This "advanced reasoning" translates to practical applications like whe…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: Last month, Jason Grad issued a late-night warning to the 20 employees at his tech startup. "You've likely seen Clawdbot trending on X/LinkedIn. While cool, it is currently unvetted and high-risk for our environment," he wrote in a Slack message with a red siren emoji. "Please keep Clawdbot off all company hardware and away from work-linked accounts." Grad isn't the only tech executive who has raised concerns to staff about the experimental agentic AI tool, which was briefly known as MoltBot and is now named OpenClaw. A Meta executive says he recently told his team to keep OpenClaw off their regular work laptops or risk losing their jobs. The …

The IRS's IT division has reportedly lost 40% of its staff and nearly 80% of its tech leadership amid a federal "efficiency" overhaul, the agency's CIO revealed yesterday. The Register reports: Kaschit Pandya detailed the extent of the tech reorganization during a panel at the Association of Government Accountants yesterday, describing it as the biggest in two decades. ... The IRS lost a quarter of its workforce overall in 2025. But the tech team was clearly affected more deeply. At the start of the year, the team encompassed around 8,500 employees.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Wall Street Journal: Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg faced a barrage of questions about his social-media company's efforts to secure ever more of its users' time and attention at a landmark trial in Los Angeles on Wednesday. In sworn testimony, Zuckerberg said Meta's growth targets reflect an aim to give users something useful, not addict them, and that the company doesn't seek to attract children as users.

Lanier showed an email from 2015 in which the CEO stat…

A bare-bones Chinese app called "Are You Dead?" -- whose entire premise is that solo-living users tap daily to confirm they're still alive, triggering an alert to an emergency contact after two missed check-ins -- has rocketed to the top of China's app store charts and gone viral globally without spending a dime on advertising. The app wasn't built for the elderly, as many assumed; its creators are Gen-Z developers who said they were inspired by the isolation of urban life in a country where one-person households are expected to hit 200 million by 2030. Its rise coincided with China's birth rate plunging to a record low. Beijing quietly removed the app from Chinese stores last month, and th…

Microsoft Research has published a paper in Nature detailing Project Silica, a working demonstration that uses femtosecond lasers to etch data into small slabs of glass at a density of over a Gigabit per cubic millimeter and a maximum capacity of 4.84 terabytes per slab. The slabs themselves are 12 cm by 12 cm and just 2 mm thick, and Microsoft's accelerated aging experiments suggest the data etched into them would remain stable for over 10,000 years at room temperature, requiring zero energy to preserve. The system writes data by firing laser pulses lasting just 10^-15 seconds to create tiny features called voxels inside the glass, each capable of storing more than one bit, and reads it ba…

A new essay in Works in Progress Magazine argues that Europe's failure to produce a Tesla or a Waymo stems not from insufficient research spending or high taxes -- problems California shares in abundance -- but from labor laws that make it devastatingly expensive for companies to unwind failed bets. According to estimates, corporate restructuring costs the equivalent of 31 months of salary per employee in Germany, 38 in France, and 62 in Spain, compared to seven in the United States. The downstream effects are visible across Europe's flagship industries. When Audi closed its Brussels factory after cancelling the E-Tron SUV in 2024, severance ran to $718 million -- over $235,000 per employee…

Two testing-related things I found recently.Unified exception testingKacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception

testing, and linked to pytest docs and a

StackOverflow answer with similar approaches.The common way to test exceptions is to use

pytest.raises as a context manager, and have

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

In Why your mock doesn’t work I explained this rule of

mocking:Mock where the object is used, not where it’s

defined.That blog post explained why that rule was important: often a mock doesn’t

work at all if you do it wrong. But in some cases, the mock will work even if

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later. Why?Let’s say you have code like this:# user.py def get_user_settings() -> str: with open(Path("~/settings.json").expanduser()) as f: return json.load(f) def add_two_settings() -> int: settings = get_user_settings() return settings["opt1"] + settings["opt2"] You write a simple test:def test_add_two_settings(): # NOTE: need to create ~/settings.json for this to work…

Decreasing transportation and communications costs increases resiliency in theory, but destroys it in practice. The only way to have resiliency is through less efficiency.

This post continues where Hobby Hilbert Simplex left

off. If you haven’t read it yet, start there. It explains the basics of Hobby

curves, Hilbert sorting and Simplex noise that I’m using.AnimationTo animate one of our drawings, instead of considering 40 lines, we’ll think

about 140 lines. The first frame of the animation will draw lines 1 through 40,

the second draws lines 2 through 41, and so on until the 100th frame is lines

100 through 140:I’ve used a single Hilbert sorter for all of the frames to remove some

jumping, but the Hobby curves still hop around. Also the animation doesn’t loop

smoothly, so there’s a giant jump from frame 100 back to frame 1.Natural cubicsHobby curves look nic…

On this spot on a chilly winter's night in 1845, while returning from an evening drinking in a local pub, William Thomson, who would later go on to become Lord Kelvin, one of the greatest scientists ever to study at Glasgow University, tripped and fell into the river below. In doing so, he instantly became the coldest thing in the entire universe, and thus the concept of Absolute Zero was born.

As he pulled himself out of the water, Thomson realised he needed to create an entirely new way of measuring temperature to describe just how cold he felt after his unfortunate immersion. He named this the Kelvin Scale in honour of the river which had inspired what turned out to be the most important…

Tucked away in a copse of scrub oak in the Greenland Open Space is a solitary gravesite, surrounded by an imposing wrought-iron fence, sitting right off the side of Kipps Loop, a trail wandered by hikers and cyclists alike.

This is what remains of the old Palmer Lake Cemetery, also known as Greenmont Cemetery - the final resting place for residents of the town of Palmer Lake, a couple of miles to the southwest. Dedicated in October 1889 and used as an active cemetery for decades, most of the graves here were eventually moved a few miles south to Monument Cemetery on Beacon Lite Road in the 1920s - the old Palmer Lake Cemetery was simply more remote and difficult to get to, so it fell out of…

History has well documented the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery departing from Camp River Dubois on May 14, 1804. This marked the Corps’ westward journey toward the Pacific Ocean. However, the beginnings of the Lewis & Clark expedition occurred seven months earlier, on October 14, 1803, in tiny Clarksville, Indiana, at the Falls of the Ohio. It was here that Meriwether Lewis arrived from Washington, D.C., and met with William Clark. This site along the Ohio River commemorates that meeting with statues of the two leaders.

After the Louisiana Purchase, the Corps of Discovery was formed by President Thomas Jefferson and tasked with exploring trade routes along the Missouri River to the Pacifi…

Little for certain is known about the Mexican folk saint known as Jesús Malverde. He is said to have been a Robin Hood figure who stole from the rich to give to the poor. After being murdered, miracles were attributed to him, creating a religious following throughout Mexico and especially in his home state of Sinaloa. As Sinaloa is a center of Mexico's drug trade and those involved seek to identify with Malverde's "generous bandit" image, he has become an unofficial patron saint of narco-traffickers.

Despite this notoriety, Malverde is pretty openly revered. That fact can be seen in the main shrine to him in Culiacán, which is ironically just a block away from the Sinaloa state government b…

Landscape architecture today in the United States exists thanks to Frederick Law Olmsted, who is most famously the designer of New York City's Central Park. His philosophy was one of bringing nature into everyday urban life, which motivated him to design parks for the enjoyment of the many. His principles can also be seen in Fairsted, his own home that he landscaped right outside of Boston.

Olmsted purchased the home in 1883, keeping and renovating the original 1810 farmhouse to suit his needs. Large windows were meant to bridge the outside nature and the manmade interiors, and paths in the gardens invite exploration. Most importantly, Fairsted was a working office for Olmsted's firm, meant…

Don't miss your chance to experience a captivating chapter in the history of Virginia City, showcasing the resilience, courage, and determination of the miners from that era. This is a must see when in Virginia City. The Combination Shaft was created in 1875 as a collaborative effort among the Savage, Chollar-Potosi, and Hale & Norcross mines. The partners aimed to dig deeper into the Comstock Lode in search of new ore deposits.

Ultimately, the shaft extended over 3,250 feet, making it the deepest on the Comstock. Sadly, the ore they found at those depths turned out to be low-grade and not economically feasible.

By the mid-1880s, the Combination Shaft encountered significant flooding. Crews…

In Sweden’s southernmost port city, Trelleborg, a section of the once-infamous Berlin Wall stands quietly outside the city museum. Measuring about 13 feet by 3 feet (4 by 1 meters), the slab is protected by plexiglass that preserves its original graffiti, a bold message reading “SAVE OUR EARTH NOW.”

The wall piece was a gift to the city in 1995 through the efforts of two German brothers, Dorian and Carsten Bredlau. As children, they spent four summers in Sweden via the Berlin Children's Aid program, a humanitarian initiative offering post-war Berlin youth the chance to stay with Swedish host families. Arriving by ferry from northern Germany, Trelleborg was the first part of Sweden they ever…

Nevada is packed with rugged and remote landscapes that call explorers to venture into the unknown and see what’s out there. Thankfully, the vast majority of the state is stewarded by the federal government—mainly the Bureau of Land Management. Not only does this ensure public lands continue to be preserved and protected for future generations of adventurers, it also means that the sixth-largest state is practically wide-open to anyone looking for adventure.

In Nevada’s diverse, open spaces, there’s something for every type of intrepid traveler. Whether you’re taking in its beauty by horseback, off-roading, hiking, or fishing, it’s easy to find wonder on its 48 million acres of protected la…

Japanese buildings have a wide variety of architectural styles, creating colorful hodgepodges wherever one goes, rarely coordinated to fit together like in many European cities. The organic building is a great example of this. The structure was conceptualized by Gaetano Pesce in the mid 80s and opened in 1993, at that time a completely unique building that combined nature and architecture in one. The building is covered with a dark fiberglass exterior, with each panel sporting a 'trumpet' that is pointed up at the sky. These trumpets each contain an unique plant, and are outfitted with an irrigation system that controls the level of moisture that the plant needs. In this way over 80 species…

For a few centuries after the establishment of Santiago in 1541, the lowlands to the east of the city center were largely rural and used for agriculture. That included the area now known as Los Dominicos, which, over a couple of centuries, was part of an encomienda owned by several wealthy families.

In 1803, however, the last owner of the encomienda, an Irish immigrant named Don Juan Cranisbro (but originally named Gainsborough), donated the land and the structures on the land, including his house and a chapel built in memory of his two deceased children, to the Dominican Order. After this, the area would gain the name of Los Dominicos. The priests would go on to not only make use of the ch…
