wolfIPDescription and project goalswolfIP is a TCP/IP stack with no dynamic memory allocations, designed to be used in resource-constrained embedded systems.

Endpoint only mode is supported, which means that wolfip can be used to establish network connections but it does not route traffic between different network interfaces.

A single network interface can be associated with the device.

Ping over the TAP deviceICMP datagram sockets can be validated the same way.

Successful replies confirm the ICMP datagram socket support end-to-end through the tap device.

Software manufacturer Atlassian is laying off around 10 percent of its workforce to have more funds for AI investments.

Continue after adCannon-Brookes emphasized in his blog post that Atlassian does not follow the philosophy of replacing people with AI.

Is AI eating software companies?

Atlassian's stock price has recently fallen sharply in the wake of several stock drops at software companies.

The market capitalization of software companies has come under pressure due to the market narrative that artificial intelligence threatens the business model of software companies.

Becca Lynch, who works in cyber security in Denver, Colorado, was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer last year, when she was just 29.

She decided to see a doctor after seeing an Instagram video by Cass Costley, where she talked about how similar symptoms turned out to be colon cancer.

Still, Lynch put off a colonoscopy for several months; when she did get it, she was diagnosed with stage 3B colon cancer.

This also means that doctors who treat colorectal cancer need to learn how to address the needs of a younger population.

Experts aren’t yet sure why colorectal cancer has risen in younger people, but Siegel said it’s an example of the “birth cohort effect”.

IRAN has claimed responsibility for an attack on two oil tankers anchored in Iraqi territorial waters, as conflicts in the region continue to escalate and strikes on commercial shipping spread beyond the Strait of Hormuz.

Iraq’s State Organization for Marketing of Oil identified the two vessels as the 73,976 dwt crude oil tanker Safesea Vishnu (IMO: 9327009) and the 50,155 dwt combined chemical and oil tanker Zefyros (IMO: 9515917).

BREAKING:Iran just struck a large oil tanker in Iraqi territorial waters.

An Iraqi security source in Basra initially reported that an Iranian boat rigged with explosives was believed to have struck the vessels, with an investigation ongoing.

32‑bit IPv4 address.

If you own an IPv4 address, you automatically own the entire 96‑bit subspace beneath it.

Every IPv4 address becomes the root of a vast extended address tree.

Customers who wanted a dedicated IPv4 address could still have one — for a fee.

A user stuck on IPv4 can ask the IPv6 world for a way in.

Asia’s governments are scrambling to manage a fuel shortage caused by high oil prices and a closed Strait of Hormuz.

Asia is particularly dependent on oil exports from the Middle East; Japan and South Korea respectively source 90% and 70% of their oil from the region.

On March 10, Thailand ordered civil servants to take the stairs rather than the elevator, and to work-from-home for the duration of the crisis.

Oil prices have had a volatile few days.

WTI crude prices surged to over $115 per barrel on Monday, only to swing back and forth as competing statements emerged from Washington.

I’ve never heard a politician cite the bank teller story before: but I have seen the bank teller story cited in a lot of blogs.

The story of how ATMs didn’t automate bank tellers is, indeed, something of a minor parable of the economics profession.

Here is a graph of bank teller employment since 2000:So what happened to bank tellers?

ATMs didn’t kill bank teller jobs…In the 1940s or ‘50s, if you owned a bank, you needed physical locations—these were your “branches”—and you needed people to staff those branches.

The natural expectation is that ATMs would make human bank tellers obsolete, or at least strongly reduce demand for bank teller jobs.

Internet exchange points also are a good place to add extra services (aka, servers on the LAN for the benefit of the member routers) to this LAN, common services include AS112, Network Time Protocol, Route Collectors, and perhaps most importantly, the Route Servers.

IX Route serversRoute servers (RS) are special forms of BGP route reflectors that are designed to simplify interconnection on internet exchanges, they work by having members peer with the route reflector (which is just a BGP speaker), and the RS distributes the routes provided to it to the other members.

This means that a route server can coordinate often terabits of traf…

A hacktivist group with links to Iran’s intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan.

Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Stryker [NYSE:SYK] is a medical and surgical equipment maker that reported $25 billion in global sales last year.

The security firm said Handala also has taken credit for recent attacks against fuel systems in Jordan and an Israeli energy exploration company.

Stryker is a major supplier of medical devices, and the ongoing attack is already affecting healthcare providers.

IntroductionHave you wanted to write a manpage for your library or program but are put off by the complexity of the weird manpage language?

With lowdown as of version 3.0.0, authors can use the -tmdoc or -tman output options, which converts into into mdoc or man.

But now with the additional –roff-manpage option, lowdown attempts to create well-formed, semantic mdoc (or man) by understanding the context in which statements are specified.

For functions (sections 2, 3, and 9), write out your function prototypes as they appear in code.

If this happens to your manpage, look it over to make sure that it’s well-formed.

At the heart of using Claude Code rather than a "chat bot" like ChatGPT is the idea of agentic AI.

This property—that a type signature can determine an implementation—is called parametricity, and it's one of the most underappreciated ideas in programming language design.

A recent post made the case that comptime is "bonkers good", and I don't want to argue against that.

Let's consider the Zig equivalent to the Rust function signature above.

At the definition site the function body is isolated from any knowledge of what concrete type T will be.

The more we can infer from a type signature alone, the less we need to expand and read.

What Meilisearch Actually IsMeilisearch is an open-source search engine written in Rust, built by a Paris-based company of the same name.

When you add documents, update settings, or delete an index, Meilisearch enqueues a task and returns a task object with a numeric ID.

In the AI era, the threat landscape is shifting drastically — AI agents autonomously selecting and attacking targets will become the new normal.

From a workforce that uses this tool to discuss strategy, client engagements, financials, M&A activity, and internal research.

This is decades of proprietary McKinsey research, frameworks, and methodologies — the firm's intellectual crown jewels — sitting in a database anyone could read.

AI prompts are the new Crown Jewel assets.

I've been building agents that write code while I sleep.

I've run Claude Code workshops for over 100 engineers in the last six months.

When Claude writes tests for code Claude just wrote, it's checking its own work.

This is exactly the problem code review was supposed to solve: a second set of eyes that wasn't the original author.

That's a narrower claim than "verified correct," but it's more than a code review was reliably catching anyway.

Amazon’s ecommerce business has summoned a large group of engineers to a meeting on Tuesday for a “deep dive” into a spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools.

The online retail giant said there had been a “trend of incidents” in recent months, characterized by a “high blast radius” and “Gen-AI assisted changes” among other factors, according to a briefing note for the meeting seen by the FT.

Under “contributing factors” the note included “novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established.”“Folks, as you likely know, the availability of the site and related infrastructure has not been good recently,” Dave Treadwell, a seni…

Broadly, just being around, available, and having interesting ideas you're willing to discuss is an easy way to find collaborators.

In a good paper this is answerable in a sentence: your goal is to find that sentence.

In a good paper this is answerable in a sentence: your goal is to find that sentence.

Sadly---at least for me---sit around and hope for inspiration isn't a valid approach to coming up with important ideas.

The paper should be the "maximal" version of the paperCounterbalancing the above, make sure the paper you're writing doesn't have obvious improvements you didn't do.

I thought that having a mobile hotspot built into my smartphone would put an end to needing a travel router.

I get fast internet speeds, and it's a super reliable way to connect my devices when I'm away from home or the office.

The tinkerer in me can't leave things alone, and I'm already thinking about adding external antennas to my Mango.

This way, I'm getting great deals on data abroad (far better than my domestic carrier offers), and I'm in control.

ZDNET's buying adviceFor $30, the GL.iNet Mango (GL-MT300N-V2) mini smart router is a lot of networking and security built into a small box.

TP-Link's Deco BE77 is a premium Wi-Fi 7 system with blazing-fast speeds and coverage for very large homes.

ZDNET's key takeawaysJack Wallen spends a week using Windows 11.

Surely, Windows 11 was an efficient, zippy, user-friendly, and reliable operating system, right?

That's exactly how I felt while using Windows 11.

Even then (with my Google passkey literally in hand), Windows 11 wouldn't play along.

After about an hour working with Windows 11, I had to save a file and noticed that it immediately defaulted to OneDrive.

ZDNET's key takeawaysJBL just announced the Live 780NC headphones.

They're equipped with Auracast, and users can access broadcasts directly from the JBL Headphones app.

But, the most interesting upgrade is the ability to access Auracast broadcasts and start your own, creating a loophole for iOS users.

More headphone manufacturers will likely consider in-app Auracast access, since iOS users may not be eager to buy Auracast-branded products due to device limitations.

The JBL Live 780NC headphones are now available for $250 in Blue, Green, Champagne, Black, and White.

Now, Meta has acquired Moltbook, the viral AI agent social network that also has no security to speak of.

Why we like it: While making this list, I discovered that the Goodnotes vs. Notability rivalry runs deep.

Much like how you're either Team Apple or Team Android, you're either Team Notability or Team Goodnotes.

Both options offer many of the same features, have cult followings, and are Apple Editors' Choice-awarded apps.

Who should look elsewhere: Ultimately, the deciding factor between the two came down to the subscription options.

While Goodnotes can be purchased outright, Notability exclusively offers monthly and quarterly subscription options.

While a standard lithium-ion battery is good for around 500 recharge cycles, a solid-state battery is good for at least 1,000 before the capacity drops to the point the battery is considered end-of-life.

ZDNET's key takeawaysResearchers have found a flaw in a chip common in Android phones.

Cybercrime targeting hardware security flaws is on the rise.

A hardware security flaw found in many Android phones allowed white hat hackers to gain entry in under a minute, according to a new report.

Asian governments are implementing emergency measures like four-day workweeks and work-from-home mandates to cope with a fuel shortage triggered by the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. "Asia is particularly dependent on oil exports from the Middle East; Japan and South Korea respectively source 90% and 70% of their oil from the region," notes Fortune. From the report: On March 10, Thailand ordered civil servants to take the stairs rather than the elevator, and to work-from-home for the duration of the crisis. It increased the air-conditioning temperature to 27 degrees Celsius, and will tell government employees to wear short-sleeved shirts over suits. (Thailand has abo…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Reducing Europe's nuclear energy sector was a "strategic mistake," European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday, as governments grapple with an energy crunch from the Iran war. Europe produced around a third of electricity from nuclear power in 1990 but that has fallen to 15%, she told an event in Paris, leaving it reliant on oil and gas imports whose prices have surged in recent days. Being "completely dependent on expensive and volatile imports" of fossil fuels puts Europe at a disadvantage to other regions, von der Leyen said in a speech. "This reduction in the share of nuclear was a choice. I believe that it was a strat…

A Pew Research Center survey found that only 53% of U.S. adults went to a movie theater in the past year, while 7% said they've never seen a movie in a theater at all. "The findings reflected a domestic box office still fighting to regain its footing since the COVID-19 pandemic, when ticket sales collapsed 81% in 2020 due to theater closures," reports Variety. From the report: In 2025, moviegoers in the U.S. and Canada bought 769.2 million tickets, less than half of the all-time peak of roughly 1.6 billion tickets sold in 2002, according to data from Nash Information Services. However, an August 2025 study field by NRG/National Research Group showed that 77% of Americans ages 12-74 went to …

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: In a paper, published last month in the journal The Anatomical Record, researchers offered a novel take on falling felines. Their evidence suggests new insights into the so-called falling cat problem, particularly that cats have a very flexible segment of their spines that allows them to correct their orientation midair. [...] People have been curious about falling cats perhaps as long as the animals have been living with humans, but the method to their acrobatic abilities remains enigmatic. Part of the difficulty is that the anatomy of the cat has not been studied in detail, explains Yasuo Higurashi, a physiologist at Yamaguchi U…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Researchers say they have uncovered a takedown-resistant botnet of 14,000 routers and other network devices -- primarily made by Asus -- that have been conscripted into a proxy network that anonymously carries traffic used for cybercrime. The malware -- dubbed KadNap -- takes hold by exploiting vulnerabilities that have gone unpatched by their owners, Chris Formosa, a researcher at security firm Lumen's Black Lotus Labs, told Ars. The high concentration of Asus routers is likely due to botnet operators acquiring a reliable exploit for vulnerabilities affecting those models. He said it's unlikely that the attackers are using any zero-day…

In April, Microsoft will be rolling out a full-screen "Xbox mode" to all Windows 11 PCs, including laptops, desktops, and tablets. The move follows last week's confirmation of its next-generation Xbox console, known internally as Project Helix, which will be capable of running both Xbox titles and PC games. The Verge reports: Technically, you've been able to try the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) in preview since November 2025, if you were part of both the Windows Insider and Xbox Insider Programs. But it needed work, as well as a better name. When Microsoft originally shipped it on the Asus-designed Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds, we were clear: it didn't meaningfully turn a PC exp…

Grammarly has disabled its Expert Review feature after backlash from writers whose names were used to present AI-generated feedback without their permission.

A Swiss e-voting pilot was suspended after officials couldn't decrypt 2,048 ballots because the USB keys needed to unlock them failed. "Three USB sticks were used, all with the correct code, but none of them worked," spokesperson Marco Greiner told the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's Swissinfo service. The canton government says it "deeply regrets" the incident and has launched an investigation with authorities. The Register reports: Basel-Stadt announced the problem with its e-voting pilot, open to about 10,300 locals living abroad and 30 people with disabilities, last Friday afternoon. It encouraged participants to deliver a paper vote to the town hall or use a polling station but admitt…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Binance is hoping that suing (PDF) The Wall Street Journal for defamation might help shake off a fresh round of government probes into how the cryptocurrency exchange failed to detect $1.7 billion in transfers to a network that was funding Iran-backed terror groups. The lawsuit comes after a Wall Street Journal investigation, based on conversations with insiders and reviews of internal documents, reported that Binance had quietly dismantled its own investigation into the unlawful transfers and then fired compliance staff who initially flagged them. Alleging that the report falsely accused Binance of retaliation -- among 10 other alleged…

Nvidia is preparing to launch an open-source AI agent platform called NemoClaw, designed to compete with the likes of OpenClaw. According to Wired, the platform will allow enterprise software companies to dispatch AI agents to perform tasks for their own workforces. "Companies will be able to access the platform regardless of whether their products run on Nvidia's chips," the report adds. From the report: The move comes as Nvidia prepares for its annual developer conference in San Jose next week. Ahead of the conference, Nvidia has reached out to companies including Salesforce, Cisco, Google, Adobe, and CrowdStrike to forge partnerships for the agent platform. It's unclear whether these con…

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…

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

Netflix is driving the Hollywood end game, likely confident it can increase the value of IP, and fend off YouTube.

Осознал недавно, чем вайб-кодинг в его классическом виде похож на лудоманию и при чем тут дофамин

Что за вайб-кодинг такой

Давайте сначала начнем с определений. Не каждая разработка с ллмкой — вайб-кодинг, но каждый вайб-кодинг — разработка с помощью ллмки.

Вайб-кодингом я буду называть программирование с помощью ллмки, в котором есть вот такие характеристики: Мало изначального планирования. Буквально короткое описание, вкинутое в ллмку и потом разберемся походу.

Попытка сразу попасть в нужную конечную точку. Желательно за одну итерацию.

Значительная часть кода написана ллмкой. Человек в целом не читает весь код, не проверяет его, только смотрит на результат. Архитектура придумана тоже ллмк…

OpenAI and Nvidia are both under threat from Google; I like OpenAI's chances best, but they need an advertising model to beat Google as an Aggregator.

This small West Yorkshire farmhouse was built some time before 1567, and initially consisted of a single farm (known as Withens Farm) before being expanded into three farms known as Top, Middle, and Bottom Withens in 1591. Centuries later, the farm was still in use in the 1840s when Yorkshire native Emily Brontë wrote her novel "Wuthering Heights", initially published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.

In 1872, publisher George Smith wrote a letter to Brontë's friend Ellen Nussey asking for information about the inspiration for various locations in Brontë's novels, which led to Top Withens being used as the inspiration for the titular farmhouse's design in an 1873 illustrated edition, despite …

In 1870, Alexander Graham Bell, his parents, and sister-in-law moved from Scotland to a small farm in Brantford, Ontario, in hopes that the Canadian climate would help his poor health. Once recovered, Bell began teaching at the Boston School for the Deaf in the United States, returning to his parents' home for holidays and summers.

On July 26, 1874, while at his "dreaming place" on the farm looking out on the Grand River, Alexander Graham Bell came up with the idea for how to make a telephone.

A few years later in 1876, Bell made the world's first long-distance telephone call between Brantford and Paris, Ontario, marking the beginning of a new era of communication.

The Bell Homestead is now…

The Outagamie County Asylum Cemetery holds the bodies of at least 133 former patients who died at the asylum between 1891 and 1949. There were originally numbered stones (without names) to identify burials. Today, there are only stone markers, each indicting a row of burials. A stone plaque at the eastern edge of the cemetery gives the names of the patients buried in there. Today the cemetery is know as the Outagamie County Cemetery. The Outagamie County Asylum for the Chronic Insane opened in 1890 and closed in 2000. The maximum number of patients was about 250. The asylum was torn town in 2000. The cemetery and a stone bridge are all that remain.

Trumpeter swans are the largest swans in the world and the biggest and heaviest native waterfowl species in North America. But in the late 1800s, they were critically endangered due to hunting for meat and feathers. Trumpeters went locally extinct in in the province of Ontario in 1886. At one time, there were fewer than 100 Trumpeters in the entire continent.

In the 1980s, conservation efforts and a breeding program brought Trumpeter Swans back from the brink of extinction in North America. One of those captive-bred swans, Pig Pen, was the first Trumpeter Swan in Ontario in more than 100 years to migrate south, choosing to overwinter at LaSalle Park in Burlington in 1993.

Trumpeter swans ar…

For AnneMette Bontaites, running the New York City Marathon was supposed to be a one-time experience. A personal challenge, a bucket-list item, and then back to normal life

But somewhere between the starting line and the finish, plans changed.

The decision to run that first marathon was almost a whim. Bontaites, a Denmark native who now lives in Boston, had run two half marathons and joked to her best friend, “Well, two halves make a whole. I've done a marathon.’”

The friend, also a runner, begged to differ on that distance math and made her an offer: She’d fly to New York from the pair’s home city of Copenhagen and they’d run Bontaites’s first marathon together. By mile 18, the friends had…

Dangar Island is just an hour from Sydney and serviced by train and ferry on the Sydney Opal network. With just 300 residents it is quirkily car-free and the locals get their shopping home by wheel-barrow or volunteer-run buggy. Many homes on the hill have mechanical flying fox or furnicular trollies to get bulky items up the steep slopes.

A truly unique environment, it has a strong community spirit with lots going on including a community garden (D.I.G.) and a rich history. A cafe at the ferry wharf makes for relaxing day trips and there are holiday homes for rent for a longer, relaxing stay. The Riverboat Postman, the last mail service for water-only access homes in Australia, calls in at…

Reminiscent of vintage adventure movies, Chebika Oasis looks like a perfect hiding place for Alibaba's thieves' treasure, or a resting spot for ever-wandering caravans.

This beautiful natural gem in the heart of the Sahara desert also bears the nickname "Qasr el-Shams", meaning "Palace of the Sun" in Arabic, and there are no better words to describe the place. A river flows through the rocks, and there is a gorgeous waterfall, gently watering a palm tree grove.

A small old town used to exist near the oasis, but was abandoned in 1969 because of an enormous flooding which took the life of over 400 people. Nowadays, a few hundred people reside in the nearby village of Chebika, built after the …

The best road trip moments are the unplanned ones — when something catches your eye and you just pull over. That's what happened in Gravette, Arkansas, a town of a few thousand that calls itself "Hometown America" on its water tower. I spotted a U.S. Air Force jet mounted in a town park and did a U-turn. What I found was a whole compressed world: a memorial to Captain Field Kindley, the third-ranking American ace of World War I, who grew up on those very streets and died in a plane crash in 1920 at just 24 — after surviving the war. Nearby, a pentagon-shaped stone dedicated by Boy Scout Troop 117 read "May They Never Be Forgotten." And right next to it all: a time capsule sealed in 1993, no…

Paris-based VC firm Elaia has announced the closing of its third DeepTech Seed fund (DTS3) at €134 million, which is double the size of its previous DeepTech Seed funds.

Founded in 2002, Elaia is a European full-stack tech and DeepTech investor.

Earlier this year, in February, Elaia announced the first close of its fifth Digital Venture Fund (DV5) at €120 million, with ambitions to scale to €300 million.

The EU–US transatlantic relationship has entered a new phase of volatility after the US Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s global tariff deals.

In response to the court’s ruling, Donald Trump initially threatened to raise global tariffs to 15%, but instead imposed a temporary 10% rate set to expire on 24 July unless Congress renews it.

Implications for European startupsAmid this geoeconomic upheaval, and with President Trump previously threatening to impose additional tariffs on several European countries in his bid to take Greenland, how has the new EU–US trade deal and the ongoing uncertainty impacted transatlantic trade and, specifically, European startups?

Against this backdrop…

Bliss, a Finland-headquartered mental health startup, has raised €232.4k ($270k) in angel funding to build what it calls “culturally intelligent” AI infrastructure for therapy.

We’re building AI that understands the cultural layer of mental health, because that’s where most systems fail,” said Jona Doda, founder of Bliss.

It’s a culturally attuned therapy platform helping diaspora communities and companies with diverse, international workforces access mental health care that understands their language, culture, and background.

The startup claims that, unlike the numerous generic AI therapy bots available in the market, Bliss positions its AI as infrastructure that amplifies human care rathe…
