Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Messenger, has announced that its standalone Messenger desktop application and the Messenger.com website will no longer be available starting April 2026.

The Messenger desktop app for macOS and Windows had already been discontinued in December 2025, with Meta removing the apps from official stores and encouraging users to transition to web‑based messaging well before April 2026.

This policy change reflects a broader strategic shift by Meta toward browser‑based and mobile messaging, rather than maintaining separate native desktop clients, which historically saw less usage compared to mobile versions.

The retirement of the desktop app and separate web …

Talk show host Stephen Colbert said CBS forbade him from interviewing Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico because of a Federal Communications Commission threat to enforce the equal-time rule on late-night and daytime talk shows.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr recently issued a warning to late-night and daytime talk shows that they may no longer qualify for the bona fide news exemption to the equal-time rule, and subsequently opened an investigation into ABC’s The View after an interview with Talarico.

The rule has an exemption for candidate appearances on bona fide news programs, and entertainment talk shows have generally been treated as bona fide news programs for this purpose.

Tesla has reported five new crashes involving its “Robotaxi” fleet in Austin, Texas, bringing the total to 14 incidents since the service launched in June 2025.

We have been tracking Tesla’s Robotaxi crash data closely, and the trend is not improving.

5 new crashes in December and JanuaryTesla submitted five new crash reports in January 2026, covering incidents from December 2025 and January 2026.

Crash rate keeps getting worseWith 14 crashes now on the books, Tesla’s “Robotaxi” crash rate in Austin continues to deteriorate.

The 14 crashes over roughly 800,000 miles yield a crash rate of one crash every 57,000 miles.

Since 2013, a stamp featuring Fudo Myoo, the mountain's guardian deity, has been available.

Additionally, since 2022, a Tanuki stamp symbolizing blessings through Shigaraki pottery raccoon figures has been offered.

Since the 1980s, a stamp featuring Fuji and the sunrise at the Yoshida-guchi trail to the mountain top has been available here, enclosed within a circular frame.

Since 2005, it has offered two stamps: one featuring Mt.

The stamp design further evokes this peaceful atmosphere with imagery of white clouds, symbolizing the serenity and beauty of the surroundings.

In turn, that sensitive material is viewed by more Alpha School employees than students and parents may realize.

“Students are being treated like guinea pigs,” one former Alpha School employee told me.

The rest of the day, Alpha School says, can be dedicated to more creative learning, students following their passions, and advanced life skills.

They also agreed that Alpha School students’ test scores are very high compared to the national average, though they credit the human “guides” at Alpha School for that accomplishment.

Alpha School is an expensive private school.

EDA companies are looking at whether it’s possible to train computer science and software engineers to become hardware engineers.

Teaching software engineers how to design hardware could be possible, but it is not easy.

“AI-powered tools can help automate many low-level details of hardware design, such as generating testbenches, optimizing layouts, or suggesting design improvements.

The measure of success will be when hardware design is just as easy as writing another PyTorch library.

There’s always that human element, whether it’s software engineering or hardware engineering.

Chess Engines Do Weird StuffThings LLM people can learn fromTraining methodSince AlphaZero, lc0-style chess engines have been trained with RL.

Specifically, you have the engine (search + model) play itself a bunch of times, and train the model to predict the outcome of the game.

Good model vs bad model is ~200 elo, but search is ~1200 elo, so even a bad model + search is essentially an oracle to a good model without, and you can distill from bad model + search → good model.

Once a good model with search was trained, every future engine (including their competitors!

Wikipedia has a whole page about “Hobby Tunneling,” which it defines as “tunnel construction as a pastime.”There’s something captivating about subterranean construction, delving into the deep, carving habitable space from the earth.

So I thought it might be fun to do a little exploration into modern tunnel construction methods used in public infrastructure and how those lessons can be applied to endeavors of the more homemade variety.

So that’s the first rule of hobby tunneling: only do it where you’re allowed to.

But even in a simple hobby tunnel, fresh airflow is critical.

Hobby tunnels usually don’t have vehicles with combustion engines, but they still carry life safety risks like any ha…

Today, we are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's Future trait and async / await on the GPU.

Running go fixThe go fix command, like go build and go vet , accepts a set of patterns that denote packages.

This command fixes all packages beneath the current directory:$ go fix ./...On success, it silently updates your source files.

Before Go 1.22, it was common to write `for _, x := range s { x := x ... }` to create a fresh variable for each iteration.

As with go build and go vet , each run of the go fix command analyzes only a specific build configuration.

Because this case is so common, the go fix command applies a final pass to detect unused imports and remove them automatically.

What is Messaging Layer Security (MLS)?

Messaging Layer Security (MLS) is a security layer for encrypting messages in groups of size two to many.

It is being built by the MLS working group and designed to be efficient, practical and secure.

The proposed MLS specification is in two parts:an architecture document (source, diffs) setting out the context, problem domain and security requirements, anda protocol document (source, diffs) defining the protocol itself.

The protocol has been approved by the IESG and has been published as RFC9420.

With JLine3 bundled, you can now build full terminal user interfaces in babashka.

Riddley is used in Cloverage, a code coverage library for Clojure, which now also works with babashka (Cloverage PR pending).

charm.clj is now compatible with babashka (or rather, babashka is now compatible with charm.clj), enabled by the combination of JLine3 support and other interpreter improvements in this release.

Deftype with map interfacesUntil now, deftype in babashka couldn't implement JVM interfaces like IPersistentMap , ILookup , or Associative .

This meant libraries that define custom map-like types, a very common Clojure pattern, couldn't work in babashka.

IntroductionWhile touring the Firefox source code to gather inspiration for a CTF challenge (Stay tuned for TRX CTF 2026!)

I was able to exploit it to gain Code Execution inside the Firefox renderer process and reported my findings to Mozilla.

The bug is actually a single character typo, can you spot it?

Since the vulnerability was caught early, it only landed inside Firefox 149 Nightly and thankfully didn’t reach any release version.

Kudos to the Firefox security team for the fast turnaround, and a shout-out to the anonymous researcher for the narrow collision.

When an author uses AI for "polishing" a draft, they are not seeing improvement; they are witnessing semantic ablation.

The result is a "JPEG of thought" – visually coherent but stripped of its original data density through semantic ablation.

If "hallucination" describes the AI seeing what isn't there, semantic ablation describes the AI destroying what is.

One of Google’s Nest surveillance cameras, whose recordings can be accessed by Google even if users don’t subscribe to the security firm’s services.

CC Photo Lab / ShutterstockThat the U.S. Surveillance State is rapidly growing to the point of ubiquity has been demonstrated over the past week by seemingly benign events.

Doing so will activate multiple other Amazon Ring cameras in the neighborhood, which will, in turn, use AI programs to scan all dogs, it seems, and identify the one that is lost.

At the home where she lives, Nancy Guthrie used Google’s Nest camera for security, a product similar to Amazon’s Ring.

Although most of our reporting focused on state surveillance, one of the first …

One of the features of “AI” is the diffusion of responsibility: “AI” systems are being put in all kinds of processes and when they fuck up (and they always fuck up) it was just the “AI”, or “someone should have checked things”.

And here we see another kind of diffusion of responsibility that the “AI” wave is creating: People just releasing whatever software they generated into the wild for others to run.

He wants the reputation boost you get from running a popular open source project whose name people might actually know.

We should push towards more reliable software, more secure software, software that is accessible, that protects people against misuse and allows them to be as safe as poss…

So here we go:There will come a point in a job interview where someone is going to ask about the salary.

Because along with not ASKING the question, you should put off answering this question for as long as possible.

You need to have done the research to understand what the standard salary range is for this role in your area of the world, and you need to have multiple sources confirming that range.

I’d suggest you continue to return to the “salary range” strategy, because if you give a number, they are going to hold you to that number.

They aren’t going to move past the salary conversation, and you know with absolute certainty that you aren’t going to take the job.

I’ve seen signs of Deep Blue in most of the online communities I spend time in.

My experiences of Deep BlueI distinctly remember my first experience of Deep Blue.

I’ve had some further pangs of Deep Blue just in the past few weeks, thanks to the Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 and GPT-5.2/5.3 coding agent effect.

That is deep blue.

Turns out it was more than a decade ago: Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997.

How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt (via) This piece by Margaret-Anne Storey is the best explanation of the term cognitive debt I've seen so far.

Cognitive debt, a term gaining traction recently, instead communicates the notion that the debt compounded from going fast lives in the brains of the developers and affects their lived experiences and abilities to “go fast” or to make changes.

Margaret-Anne expands on this further with an anecdote about a student team she coached:But by weeks 7 or 8, one team hit a wall.

When I met with them, the team initially blamed technical debt: messy code, poor architecture, hurried implementations.

They had accu…

And that’s when a realization hit me quite hard: I’ve lost one of mine and I’ve been subconsciously mourning it.

That lost identity was "computer programmer" and it was arguably one of my biggest.

It’s weird to say I’ve lost it when I’m still every bit the computer programmer (in both the professional and hobby sense) I ever was.

But a social identity isn’t about typing on a keyboard, It’s about belonging to a group, a community, a culture.

I enjoy programming computers because they function on a set of precise and rigid rules.

Sinister variations on the positive state of flow

To reduce human errors in his experiments, Wu opted to use a scoring machine to accurately fold the origami patterns.

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

Every year, doctors at a hospital in the Yunnan Province of China brace themselves for an influx of people with an unusual complaint.

The patients come with a strikingly odd symptom: visions of pint-sized, elf-like figures – marching under doors, crawling up walls and clinging to furniture.

In Yunnan, L. asiatica is sold in markets, it appears on restaurant menus and is served at home during peak mushroom season between June and August.

One must be careful to cook it thoroughly, though, otherwise the hallucinations will set in.

Saying “Install Visual Studio” is like handing contributors a choose-your-own-adventure book riddled with bad endings, some of which don’t let you go back.

And heaven help you if you need to downgrade to an older version of the build tools for a legacy project.

The Visual Studio ecosystem is built on a legacy of ‘all-in-one’ monoliths.

If a teammate has a slightly different Build Tools version, your builds can silently diverge.

The key insight is that Microsoft publishes JSON manifests describing every component in Visual Studio, the same manifests the official installer uses.

ChatGPT's new Lockdown Mode aims to prevent these attacks.

An optional security setting, Lockdown Mode isn't necessary for most ChatGPT users, OpenAI said in a news release on Friday.

With that in mind, Lockdown Mode is available for ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, ChatGPT for Healthcare, and ChatGPT for Teachers.

As one example, web browsing in Lockdown Mode limits access to cached content so that no live requests leave OpenAI's network.

Workspace admins can also choose which apps and actions are controlled by Lockdown Mode.

Migrating from one distribution to another isn't all that hard… Unless you want to retain all of the data within your home directory (or any directory, for that matter).

If you don't do something to save that data, you will lose out and have to start all over.

If you have a secondary drive, it should be listed as well.

Select the secondary disk and then click +.

After the installation completes, reboot, connect the drive housing the data, open your file manager, and start copying things over.

Multiple Macs and iPad models are expected.

New MacBook, Air, and ProI'm expecting a good number of new Apple products in 2026, though not all are likely to be announced during the March 4 event.

New 12th-gen iPad and iPad AirOn the iPad side, Apple is rumored to release an A18 base-model iPad, which would be the 12th-generation iPad, and an iPad Air with M4.

This would bring Apple's AI features to a broader audience, specifically those in the market for the most affordable iPad.

While consumers have been widely expecting a touchscreen MacBook from Apple, this isn't expected until at least late 2026, if at all.

Mazda, the automaker that for years defended its scroll-wheel infotainment system as a safer alternative to touchscreens, is abandoning the approach entirely in the 2026 CX-5 in favor of a 15.6-inch touchscreen and zero physical buttons.

Upper-trim CX-70 and CX-90 models do have 12.3-inch touchscreens, but touch input only works when parked and only inside CarPlay; it disables automatically once the car is in drive.

The software industry's decades-old habit of charging companies a flat fee for every employee who uses a product is running into a fundamental problem: AI agents don't sit in chairs, and they don't need licences.

you don’t follow this rule, and then it can break much later.

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

Last night was a Boston Python project night where I

had a good conversation with a few people that was mostly guided by questions

from a nice guy named Mark.How to write nice code in researchMark works in research and made the classic observation that research code is

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …

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

I know there are already a dozen apps that do this, but I wanted something simple that I could customize exactly how I wanted. So I built my own. You can track shows, get emailed when they're renewed or canceled, see a calendar of upcoming episodes, and share your watchlist. Constantly trying to make it better. Open to feedback if you have any. submitted by /u/McNasties00 [link] [comments]

As a software developer, my least favorite part of the job is quoting clients. Too high and I'm overcharging. Too low and I'm working for free. LLMs are notoriously bad at estimating project value, so I took a different approach. I built a dataset of 2,200+ reference projects, priced them retroactively, and created an algorithmic solution that ensures new quotes follow the same baseline. After a lot of testing and tuning, it's been surprisingly reliable. I decided to offer the quoting tool for free. AgentCIPHR.com Would love feedback from other devs, especially since there's a huge difference between what one dev may charge versus another. My hope isn't to create a universal price for all d…

My co-founder and I built a platform (https://auctionnow.io) that lets anyone launch an online store that lets you run real-time auctions and sell fixed priced items. It supports physical goods with shipping tracking and digital products (e.g. PDFs and links) with automated file delivery. The idea for AuctionNow.io evolved from the comics and collectibles marketplace we built called Raremarq. After two years growing Raremarq, we noticed sellers were earning as much as 10x more with our auctions compared to other platforms like eBay, and we started getting requests from charities, content creators, TCG sellers, fashion designers, and a bunch more asking to use our tech for their own websites…

Hey everyone, curious how ppl here are promoting their apps this year. 2026 feels different. Paid ads are more competitive. Organic reach is harder. AI generated content is flooding everything. Distribution feels like the real moat now. Here’s what’s been working for me. First, I stopped treating ASO and ASA as separate things. Instead of guessing keywords for ASO, I test them with ASA first. I personally use mobileaction to: See what keywords competitors rank for Find gaps in my category Identify which keywords actually convert in paid Track ranking movement after changes Manage ads The flow is simple: Run small ASA campaigns to validate intent See which keywords convert Optimize title/sub…

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…

Walk into Barney’s Beanery and it feels like you have stepped into several decades at once. The walls are packed with license plates, vintage signs, photos, and enough visual noise to make the jukebox seem almost unnecessary. This is not minimalist West Hollywood. This is maximalist history, served with chili and a beer.

Open at this location since 1927, Barney’s was a popular stop for travelers coming west along the historic Route 66, which ends not far from here. And the place has long been a crossroads for Los Angeles characters. Over the years, the bar has been associated with a dizzying list of musicians, actors, and writers, some drawn by its late hours, others by its refusal to chase…

"How did they poop?" is perhaps one of the less appealing yet inevitable questions one might ask about the Middle Ages. Sanitation was primitive compared to today, with many people using chamber pots that were dumped outside. Castles tended to have proper bathrooms with fixed toilets, known as garderobes. They generally emptied into cesspits or moats far below.

However, a particularly unique kind of garderobe can be found only in a relatively small area of modern-day Poland. The dansker is a tower perched over a stream or running water. Detached from the castle, they require crossing a bridge to reach, surely an inconvenience for anyone wishing to relive themself! On the positive side, thei…

Looking out across the Cape Peninsula, a dark shape breaks the surface. This iron remnant is part of the engine block of the Royal Mail Ship Athens, lost here in the year 1865. In early May that same year, Table Bay lay under an uneasy calm. Warm days and light winds settled over the anchorage, tempting captains into a confidence. The small-boat men of Cape Town, however, who knew the moods of this coast, felt something else in the air. They recognised the stillness not as peace, but as a warning of disaster in its approach.

On 15 May, the wind turned, backing hard to the northwest. By the following morning the sea had risen into steep, driving waves. Ships strained at their anchors. Distre…

This is the largest pushpin in the world. Certified by Guinness World Records in October 2024, the structure measures 21 feet and 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 3,000 pounds.

This tack, over 250 times the size of a regular tack, is in front of the Transit Authority of Central Kentucky (or TACK). It surpasses the previous record holder by almost 2 feet. T

he pin was built by TACK employees over 18 months to represent the organization’s name. It now serves as a landmark for the Transit Authority and joins the world's largest pocketknife as the 2nd largest thing in the world in Hardin County, Kentucky!

Maconaquah had a decision to make. She could continue the life she had known for over 58 years, or return to civilization with her siblings.

Born in Rhode Island in 1773 as Frances Slocum, she was captured by Delaware Indians in November 1778 from her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She was taken west by the Delaware into what would later become the states of Ohio and Indiana. She married a Delaware Indian who mistreated her, and after leaving him, she returned to her parents. While living with them, she encountered a Miami Indian man named Shepocanah, who had been wounded in battle. Shepocanah was nursed back to health, and before his death, Frances’s father gave both Frances and her m…

Reverend Lowery Allen McGrew and his wife Clara moved to Sierra Leone in 1896 to serve as missionaries under the aegis of the Woman’s Missionary Board, a protestant missionary association. Both originally from Ohio, the Reverend and Mrs. McGrew settled in Taiama in an outpost of a larger missionary station in Rotifunk. Sierra Leone had been a particular interest for American missionaries since the revolt on The Amistad, which saw the enslaved persons that had survived through their subsequent time in Connecticut returned to Sierra Leone.

The year 1896 also saw the British establish a Protectorate of Sierra Leone, expanding the borders of their century-old colony in Freetown over the hinterl…

Who would think that the last emperor of France, Napoleon III, had found his way to a quiet town in England? Well, following his passing and then his son's death in the Zulu War, his wife Eugene bought a house and came to live in Farnborough. She had an abbey built, complete with the church and Imperial Mausoleum, where the family are at rest. With the gothic styling of the buildings, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in France! The church and crypt have been extensively refurbished, Sunday Mass being shared on the abbey's Youtube channel, albeit without the aroma of the incense. Today, the abbey is home to a small Benedictine community whose spiritual life is supported by their guest…

It’s easy to miss the two piles of stone rubble in Prairie Moraine County Park. The only clue that there’s something unusual here is a sign saying, “Historical Site.”

A house for leprosy sufferers once stood here. It was built in 1896 for a resident of the nearby County Poor House, a Norwegian immigrant named Thomas. At this time, there was no cure for leprosy and treatment involved isolation. Thomas was probably the only resident of the house and, after his death in 1902, the house rapidly deteriorated.

Despite the fear of leprosy at the time, it was apparently common for Thomas to have visitors and guests. These included those bringing food and supplies, local farmers paying social calls …

Standing tall against the vast prairie sky, this wooden giant serves as a rare survivor from a time when these structures defined the skyline of every railway town. For decades, it was the beating heart of the local economy where farmers gathered to offload their harvest and connect with their neighbors. Today it remains a powerful monument to the grit that built the province, preserving the legacy of the wheat trade for a new generation.
