Brandon Thomas, developer of ArtCraft, a suite of open-source creative tools meant to replicate Adobe applications for free, has now announced apps to replace Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, respectively, named GridCraft, DeckCraft, and WordCraft, that are created with Claude.

Thomas has shared his new clones to ArtCraft GitHub, making them free for all to download.

After our previous story covering ArtCraft, we have since discovered that u/ai_art_is_art is Brandon Thomas, a highly talented software engineer with 15 years of experience under his belt.

It seems that Brandon Thomas is not only creating open-source alternatives, but is also creating a targeted prote…

I was playing with the nono agent sandboxing tool and it greeted me with a warning: PATH entries the sandbox can write to: ~/.local/bin/ which looked suspicious.

In other words, doing this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc :export PATH = " $PATH :~/.local/bin/"will not expand the ~ (tilde) into the home path (or $HOME ) as the tilde to home expansion happens only in unquoted inputs, as also the bash documentation says:If a word begins with an unquoted tilde character (‘~’), all of the characters up to the first unquoted slash (…) are considered a tilde-prefix.

Scandinavia's first farmers slaughtered the hunter-gatherer population, DNA analysis suggestsOverview of dataset.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06862-3Following the arrival of the first farmers in Scandinavia 5,900 years ago, the hunter-gatherer population was wiped out within a few generations, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others.

The results, which are contrary to prevailing opinion, are based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark.

Within a few generations, almost the entire hunter-gatherer population was wiped out.

This genetic profile is dominant in today's Denmark, whereas the DNA profile of the first farmer population has been …

As I've written before, you should sit down and actually test your readme.

After each session I updated the README based on what people found difficult, then I re-tested it with the next person.

In total, I paid out around €150 to have a bunch of people criticise me to my face.

I don't claim that ActivityBot's README is now perfect - far from it - but it is now demonstrably easier to follow.

You don't have to pay them if you can't afford it - but find a few people who will talk aloud while they try to follow your instructions.

He says you can often work out your values by following what he calls a "why chain".

If you like something or want to do something, ask "why?".

If the answer is to make money or be successful, keep asking 'why?'

When the process ends, that will be what you really value, he explains.

UPDATE Oct 10thOn 24 August 2026 X Corp. sent cease and desist letters demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

On 8 September 2026, they sent another, with the same demands and legal threats.

My September 7th update said the project would continue with legal representation in place.

I'm seeking funding and legal help to fight for the future of Nitter.

The most effective way to nerd snipe a roboticist is to present them with a controversial definition of a “robot”.

So of course, my esteemed colleague Tina decided to lob a grenade at me by asserting that a dishwasher is a robot.

They fall short of the technical definition Tina used.

Outside of sci fi, “robot” used to just mean robotic arms used in assembly lines.

A decade later, industrial robotic arms were allowed back in because power- and force-limited cobots and advanced vision systems attached to robot arms opened up novel new applications and capabilities that people had only just started to contemplate being automatable.

Your AI agents,in a stand-up call.

Agent Standup turns your Claude Code session into a live team meeting: the lead gives orders, sub-agents join, share their screen and report back.

It works wherever you run Claude Code.

Agents share their screen: real commands, real output.

During the last 3 months, I spent some of my time and tokens decompiling a popular first-person shooter.

Obviously, the overall goal was to learn how to effectively orchestrate autonomous AI agents over the course of months.

Claude agents were running in Claude Code CLI, Codex agents in Codex CLI.

When agents work autonomously, it can go unnoticed and undermine the quality of their work.

As AI agents take on more software development work, orchestrating them becomes a new, much more demanding task for humans.

Abstract: Developers often prefer flexibility over upfront schema design, making semi-structured data formats such as JSON increasingly popular. Large amounts of JSON data are therefore stored and analyzed by

relational database systems. In existing systems, however, JSON’s lack of a fixed schema results in slow analytics. In this paper, we present JSON tiles, which, without losing the flexibility of JSON, enables relational systems to perform analytics on JSON data at native speed. JSON tiles automatically detects the most important keys and

extracts them transparently – often achieving scan performance similar to columnar storage. At the same time, JSON tiles is capable of handling hetero…

# Logfire Data ModelOpenTelemetry data (the data that Logfire ingests) is semi-structured data.

# How we started: fast JSON parsing Pydantic started as a library to validate and parse JSON data efficiently.

When we built Logfire, we initially stored all attributes as JSON blobs in a single column and relied on Jiter (one of the fastest JSON parsers out there in any language) to rip through the JSON data as quickly as possible.

This is the layout detailed above ( attributes: Utf8View (JSON) ).

We want to keep the logical layout of attributes as a single JSON column from your perspective, while optimizing the physical layout under the hood.

Consistency is not a localized propertyIt is a common pattern for developers to assume that consistency is something they can achieve inside a single component.

(Narkhede and Wang 2017)If the component cannot promise the property, the promise has to live somewhere else.

Two practical consequences:Someone has to understand the system end to end.

A global property needs a person who is liable for the whole thing, with some guarantee that it makes sense.

The lesson: do not hand global, valuable properties to machines and assume they are held.

With token-superposition training and hash embeddings, byte Transformers consistently outperform subword Transformers as model size scales.

1 IntroductionTokenizer-free language models, or byte language models, aim to remove externally imposed tokenizers by modeling text directly as byte sequences (Xue et al., 2022; YU et al., 2023; Slagle, 2024; Tsiamas et al., 2025; Shah et al., 2026) .

First, byte sequences are longer than subword sequences.

Recent works (BLT Pagnoni et al., 2025 , H-Net Hwang et al., 2026 , ByteFlow Deng et al., 2026 ) develop new network architectures with built-in tokenization mechanisms.

2) Byte models remain effective as training data continues to scale.

The MF10, introduced by National Semiconductor in 1981, provides two flexible filters on a chip; each filter acts as a low-pass filter, band-pass filter, or a high-pass filter.

On-chip capacitors are fairly inaccurate, with the capacitance typically varying by 20% from chip to chip due to variations in manufacturing conditions.

The filter chip uses op-amps as integrators, to integrate an input voltage over time.

The op-amp transistors are much larger than the CMOS switch transistors (very bottom, center).

The PMOS transistors are larger because PMOS transistors are slightly less efficient than NMOS transistors.

The prototype combined a general-purpose 2D rigid body with a deliberately simple model of a car.

At the core of the system is a simple classical 2D rigid body dynamics simulation.

On top of that core, I then added a "novel" vehicle simulation layer, based on a simple, approximate, and technically incorrect model of how tyres behave.

This is a simple barrier solver, with frictionless edges, rather than a general collision system.

Putting the pieces togetherThe Vehicle coordinator asks the selected dynamics object to apply its forces, then advances the rigid body.

I have been using DeepSeek 4.1 Flash for about a month, heavily, across a dozen projects.

It is super capable, and orders of magnitude cheaper than the "frontier" models.

When I'm mid-session, if I don't look at the model name, I honestly could not tell you if I'm using DeepSeek or Opus.

I treat this like a frontier model because it behaves like one.

Using Claude almost feels wasteful, and not just on cost: its caching means DeepSeek must be using less water and electricity.

That recording is translated into C - the original instructions, one for one, with the exact cycle timing of the emulated machine.

The result is checked against the emulator event for event: every interrupt, port access and frame at the same moment of emulated time.

The demos' own loaders, music players and effects all run as they did in 1992 and 1993; only the hardware is modelled.

The demos ran on VGA at 70 Hz, so they look smoothest on a display running at 70 Hz, or at 140 Hz or higher.

Hacking Cheap Smart Photo Frames into a Family Dashboard October 9, 2026 JavaScript, Other Edit PostMy sister's $500 Skylight calendar was headed for the trash with dead Wi-Fi.

I used a coding agent to root it, found a hidden debug mode, and got it back online with an $11 USB Wi-Fi dongle.

Then I did it all again from scratch with a random $50 picture frame from Amazon.

These cheap smart frames are basically Android tablets in disguise, and they're a bit of a Trojan horse for a monthly subscription.

You paid for the hardware, so you should be able to run whatever you want on it.

Yet, almost unique among creative fields, many experienced programmers remain convinced that it’s fine to use “AI” for programming.

A lot of the justification of this resignation seems to be to be because programming is not Art.

It matters because we shouldn’t be using AI to produce Art, and programming is Art.

Programming isn’t special.

It’s just Art, and Art is the most human — and thus, the most universal — thing that there is.

Swift Embedded #The project uses Embedded Swift, which is a subset of Swift designed for environments where there is no operating system and no standard library available (in the usual sense).

It seems like my current Swift compiler does not yet ship with the Embedded Swift standard library.

As I missed in the documentation:Since Embedded Swift is still experimental and not yet supported in public Swift releases, you’ll need to use a development toolchain.

A new Ring Smart Lock was just announced this week, expanding the Ring ecosystem and Alexa devices.

This is useful if your smart lock dies, since you can simply power it long enough to open your door and get inside.

Questions remainWe’re still missing a lot of information about the Ring Smart Lock, including battery life estimates, Matter compatibility, and third-party integrations.

Though we only know the Ring Smart Lock will launch in early 2027, there isn’t a set date for availability yet.

You can sign up to be notified when the smart lock becomes available for purchase.

Torvalds discussed changes in the Linux kernel development process.

AI has become a vital component in finding and fixing bugs in the Linux kernel.

Using it responsibly in the Linux kernel, where generated patches and bug reports can overwhelm maintainers, is another.

The Linux kernel is a project where other people do the real work, and I act as the collection point.

It’s just ugly.”AI in the Linux kernelThat’s not to say AI isn’t useful for finding and fixing mistakes in the Linux kernel.

Microsoft 365 subscribers are about to experience the cloud version of shrinkflation.

Microsoft announced today that it will be making changes to its Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium, and Pro subscriptions.

Currently, if you have a Microsoft 365 Family, Premium, or Pro plan, each member has a fixed OneDrive storage allowance of 1 TB.

And the shrinkage is significant: Instead of 6 TB of storage divided evenly among six shared account holders, Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans will get a total of 2 TB of shared storage.

The base cost of a Microsoft 365 Family plan is $130 a year, or just a little over $10 per month.

AI use at work is up, touching everything from everyday tasks to hiring and performance reviews.

AI-driven firingsSB 947, somewhat cheekily called the “No Robo Bosses Act,” prohibits employers from outsourcing disciplinary and termination decisions entirely to AI, referred to in the bill as automated decision systems (ADS).

The bill requires employers to check any AI decisions on employee discipline or termination, as well as provide the employee with a description of the reasons for the decision.

It also requires employers to clarify whether “a mass layoff, relocation, or termination is caused by an AI system,” according to a brief on the governor’s website.

Still, when it comes to AI in h…

Only 10% of IT chiefs use agentic AI for modernization.

Only 10% of tech chiefs said they are applying agentic AI as a modernization tool.

This time, instead of replacing mainframes and other legacy systems, the focus is on expanding tangible business capabilities.

“Agentic AI is being used to map hidden dependencies, generate code, and create documentation — all traditionally time-consuming, error-prone processes.

Agentic AI is speeding up initiatives that used to eat months of error-prone manual labor.”In short, agents could be just the latest chapter of a nonstop journey.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysThe new Surface Laptop Ultra launches Oct. 18.

Microsoft announced a launch date for its new Surface Laptop Ultra: October 18th, with a starting price of $2,599 for the lowest-tier configuration (and going up to $6,000 from there).

But the Surface Laptop Ultra was the darling of the show with its own dramatic sizzle reel and focus in live demos.

It’s no surprise that many of the aforementioned features are also core components of Apple’s MacBook Pro, to which the Surface Laptop Ultra is certainly a response.

Sure, Apple’s design language is present when you look at the Surface Laptop Ultra, but you could say that about almost any modern PC.

It found that 78% of managers reported using AI to “help draft, edit, summarize, or inform feedback or a performance review” in the last year.

Most of those managers, perhaps unsurprisingly, noted that AI sped up the process of prepping that feedback (Highwire told ZDNET it did not ask managers what else they noticed about using AI).

Maybe concerns about being perceived poorly for using AI are behind that drop in transparency: an Atlassian study from June found that owning AI use at work backfired.

The details of how managers are using AI for feedback matter here, though.

Those of you who use Google’s Gemini app or website for free will soon be able to use only one AI model for your queries and conversations.

Anyone without a paid Google AI plan will be stuck with only the lowest-tier and least robust Flash-Lite model.

An AI Plus user who needs the Pro model will have to jump to a Pro plan.

When I use Gemini with my AI Pro account, Flash is the model that’s automatically chosen.

The main bright spot here is that Google AI subscriptions are doled out on a monthly basis.

More from ZDNETHow to fix the AT&T issue on iPhone 18 Pro MaxAT&T hasn’t explained what’s causing the issue.

The problems only affect the iPhone 18 Pro Max and not any other models (not even other iPhone 18 models), so it’s possibly tied to that model’s Qualcomm modem (the other iPhone 18 models use the Apple C2 modem).

The Telegraph reports that the nutritional value of fruit and vegetables has fallen by up to 50% since the Sixties, according a new study from researchers at startup studio Deep Science Ventures. The study "found that humans needed to consume twice the number of vegetables to get the same level of minerals such as potassium, magnesium or copper as would have been present in their food 60 years ago." The study found that many crops had lost 20% to 50% of several key nutrients... The decrease in nutrient and vitamin value is thought to be down to declining soil quality and crops being selectively bred for their ability to grow quickly, rather than there being any focus on their health benefit…

Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies "are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event," reports Axios, one that turns "an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders..."

"Nicolas Cage is speaking out against Amazon," reports Variety. Amazon developed the series Spider-Noir for Prime Video, but then allegedly asked Cage to sign an AI waiver: "Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI," Cage said Saturday during a panel on the Empire Stage at New York Comic Con. "I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it's like, connect those dots! I'm not a member of their club. I didn't sign the waiver to let him use AI on 'Spider-Noir.' I'm probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that's okay." Last month Amazon canceled Spider-Man Noir after just one season, Variety reports.

Claude "was instructed never to log in, create accounts, enter personal data, make purchases, or submit anything destructive, but the instructions did not rule out form submissions," Anthropic said Friday in a blog post. Authorities are now criticizing Anthropic "for taking two months to report the incident." The Philadelphia Police Department said the false submission was made in July through PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com, a public website where people can share information about unsolved killings. According to Anthropic's account, as relayed by p…

As well as long-form articles, the Iranian operation generated batches of social media comments, generally on topics related to the US-Iran war...

Phoronix reports on a presentation this week by Meta engineer Gregory Price at the Linux Plumbers Conference in Prague: With today's memory shortages, high prices, and ever increasing memory capacity needs, Meta engineers have been working on Compressed RAM ("CRAM") for Linux.

Very promising is that there is near-native performance to raw DRAM speeds with CRAM... For end-users that may already be relying on the likes of Zswap or ZRAM, CRAM is offering near-native DRAM speeds. Read-only data is shown to be as fast as the raw DRAM pe…

Flock faces growing scrutiny from regulators, lawmakers, and privacy advocates, despite drawing strong investor interest among venture capitalists. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Americans are divided on whether Flock cameras are a good idea. Some 38% of the country supports the use of Flock cameras in their community, compared to 47% …

trouble getting properly oriented. They were asking how branches relate to

directories, and how to undo a change. They knew about git init but

didn’t know how it related to changing projects.

One of six daily geography games I built. You get three cities and two short pieces of the border, then draw the rest, and it scores the overlap with the real shape. The clip is my attempt at the USA (in my defense I'm not from there lol). Free, no sign-up: https://tenminute.games/country-scribble I'd like to know if the score feels fair for what you drew. submitted by /u/istvan_kreisz [link] [comments]

Since I'm a Pokémon fan and spend most of my time in the terminal, I wondered why I didn't have a Pokédex terminal tool! So that's how Pokeductor was born. It is a minimalistic, TUI-based Pokédex written in Rust (ratatui + tokio), with data taken from PokeAPI. You can search for any Pokémon, see its stats and types, and explore its evolution chain, all without having to open your browser. It's an entirely keyboard-driven tool. Give it a try: AUR: yay -S pokeductor Cargo: cargo install pokeductor Or just download a binary from the releases page GitHub repository: https://github.com/Huseynteymurzade28/pokeductor Let me know what you think about it, or which Pokémon you checked first! submitte…

This project is for finding games you wouldn't know to search for. You can browse game dev posts, from rough prototypes to released games, and see what catches your eye. There are already 800+ game posts to explore, from early prototypes to released games. I've also added game spaces, so a project can have its updates and conversations in one place. If you're making a game, you can: - Set up a page for it, even while it's still a prototype. - Share progress updates, screenshots and gameplay videos. - Ask for feedback on your game, invite playtesters or ask for help with a specific part of the game. - Add links to demos, playable builds and store pages. - Reply to players and let them follow…

https://reddit.com/link/1x351sj/video/avk8xtt1jtuh1/player I built Reign, a browser strategy game where you settle, trade, and build on a tiny voxel island, all sitting on a wooden table in a cozy room. The board, buildings, dice, cards, and surrounding room are made from small voxels. I wanted it to feel like gathering around a physical board game with friends. It has: Classic settlement-building gameplay with trading and resource production. Bots, plus multiplayer when running the full version.

Unlike Mistral, this is a European company that offers high-quality, affordable AI inference powered by green electricity,” shared Christian in an exclusive interview.

The Berlin-based search engine recently made headlines after POLITICO reported that it was replacing Mistral with open models, including Chinese offerings such as Alibaba’s Qwen, Z.ai’s GLM and Moonshot AI’s Kimi.

However, Christian stressed that the company’s focus is on open models rather than their country of origin.

Addressing concerns about political censorship in Chinese AI models, Christian explained that Ecosia can switch to alternative models when dealing with sensitive subjects, such as questions about Taiwan.

Klarent (formerly fore ai), a Zurich-based autonomous software testing startup, has closed a €7.13 million Seed funding round.

“With AI, code generation is scaling faster than our ability to test it, so QA will become the key bottleneck.

Instead of leaning on large language models to run tests directly, Klarent’s agents use LLMs only to author test code.

Once written, the test code executes in a deterministic, repeatable manner, combining the adaptability of AI with the rigour expected in production engineering.

At JD Sports, Klarent’s AI agents automate multi-system workflows across the e-commerce pipeline, an automation that the retailer said its own teams could not replicate.

The UK prime minister today confirmed that the UK plans to ban non-compete clauses in workers' employment contracts, marking a boon for the UK startup sector.

According to a video of Burnham speech, reported by Politics UK, Burnham said non-compete clauses “stunt innovation” and likened the rule change to the “Bosman ruling for the innovation sector”.

The move follows a campaign by leading tech startups such as ElevenLabs and Synthesia to limit the use of non-compete clauses and extended notice periods.

Non-compete clauses are a provision in an employment contract that restricts an employee from working for a competing business or setting up a new startup.

The government will now lay out pl…

Innercrowd has raised €750,000 in funding to accelerate its international expansion as festivals across Europe look for new ways to drive ticket sales.

According to the European Festival Survey 2025, only 17 per cent of surveyed festivals were fully sold out.

Several major European festivals have experienced slower ticket sales, with some events also facing cancellations due to weaker-than-expected demand.

By encouraging fans to buy earlier, the platform also gives them more time to promote festivals among their networks.

Fans can create and share content, promote line-ups, encourage friends to attend and sell tickets.

TODAY, an AI startup helping financial and insurance advisors automate their work has raised €2.8 million in seed funding.

TODAY will use the seed funding to expand further across the DACH region and extend its platform to cover more of advisors' front- and back-office operations.

Today, PSV Tech announced the final close of Fund II at €56 million.

PSV Tech was launched in 2020 as part of PSV Venture House, with a mission to back Nordic founders before product-market fit.

Portfolio companies Teton and Spektr, which PSV Tech backed early, have since raised $20 million Series A rounds.

Verso, an AI-powered consumer intelligence platform, has raised $6 million in seed funding.

Large companies invest heavily in consumer research to inform product development and marketing decisions, but the process can be expensive and time-consuming.

Verso was co-founded by Lydia Bellahouel and Camille Epitalon to make consumer insights more readily available when business decisions are made.

The platform manages the consumer research process from study design and participant recruitment to AI-moderated video interviews and automated analysis.

Bellahouel said the idea for Verso came from seeing companies struggle to access consumer insights when decisions were being made.

On Monday, the network announced a $1.6 million seed round from top players in the media ecosystem, including Powerhouse Capital, Axel Springer SE (which owns Business Insider and Politico), the popular media publication LadBible, and angel investors from OpenAI and DeepMind.
