Mandelbrot in x86 Assembly by Claude

Mandelbrot in x86 assembly by Claude. Inspired by a tweet asking if Claude knew x86 assembly, I decided to run a bit of an experiment. I prompted Claude Sonnet 4: Write me an ascii art mandelbrot fractal generator in x86 assembly And got back code that looked... like assembly code I guess? So I copied some jargon out of that response and asked: I have some code written for x86-64 assembly using NASM syntax, targeting Linux (using system calls for output). How can I run that on my Mac? That

Let's Talk About the 'Ironheart' Finale and Post-Credits Scene

After two weeks on Disney Plus, Ironheart aired its season finale during a three-episode drop on Tuesday night. Though the show didn't serve as a vehicle for Riri Williams' introduction into the Marvel universe, it's brought in new and not-so-new characters that we recognize from the comic books and greater MCU -- even if some of them were only present in spirit. The penultimate episode saw Riri, Ezekiel/Joe and Parker confront their daddy issues in their own ways, with the latter putting a gun

'Ironheart': When to Watch the Final 3 Episodes of the Marvel Series

Ironheart, the newest Marvel TV series following Riri Williams after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is set to wrap up tonight. Dominique Thorne was initially introduced as the character in the Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster. Riri is a brilliant teenage MIT student who created a vibranium detector that caught the attention of the CIA, Wakandans, and, um, a water-dwelling god. Ironheart's first three episodes are now streaming on Disney Plus. Pulled from the pages of Marvel's comic books, the

Google promotes ‘AI Mode’ on home page 'Doodle'

Google CEO Sundar Pichai addresses the crowd during Google's annual I/O developers conference in Mountain View, California on May 20, 2025. The Google Doodle is Alphabet's most valuable piece of real estate, and on Tuesday, the company used that space to promote "AI Mode," its latest AI search product. Google's Chrome browser landing pages and Google's home page featured an animated image that, when clicked, leads users to AI Mode, the company's latest search product. The doodle image also inc

Google's AI Mode Is Changing How You Search. So What Is It?

A new tab is in your Google Search bar, and it feels a lot more like an AI chatbot than a traditional search engine. Google started testing AI Mode earlier this year and announced the full rollout at its I/O developers conference in May. It's now available for all English language users in the US over age 13 (and to Workspace and Education users over age 18). To celebrate, Google promoted it with an animation on the Google homepage on July 1, with the company's new logo inviting users into an

Microsoft open-sources VS Code Copilot Chat extension on GitHub

Microsoft has released the source code for the GitHub Copilot Chat extension for VS Code under the MIT license. This provides the community access to the full implementation of the chat-based coding assistant, including the implementation of “agent mode,” what contextual data is sent to large language models (LLMs), and the design of system prompts. The GitHub repository hosting the code also details telemetry collection mechanisms, addressing long-standing questions about data transparency in

Show HN: Arch-Router – 1.5B model for LLM routing by preferences, not benchmarks

Hi HN — we're the team behind Arch ( https://github.com/katanemo/archgw ), an open-source proxy for LLMs written in Rust. Today we're releasing Arch-Router ( https://huggingface.co/katanemo/Arch-Router-1.5B ), a 1.5B router model for preference-based routing, now integrated into the proxy. As teams integrate multiple LLMs - each with different strengths, styles, or cost/latency profiles — routing the right prompt to the right model becomes a critical part of the application design. But it's stil

Amazon deploys its 1 millionth robot, releases generative AI model

After 13 years of deploying robots into its warehouses, Amazon reached a new milestone. The tech behemoth now has 1 million robots in its warehouses, the company announced Monday. This one millionth robot was recently delivered to an Amazon fulfillment facility in Japan. That figure puts Amazon on track to reach another landmark: Its vast network of warehouses may soon have the same number of robots working as people, according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. The WSJ also reported t

Code⇄GUI bidirectional editing via LSP

I built a small proof-of-concept for a system that enables real-time bidirectional editing between any modern code editor and a GUI, enabled by an LSP server. Code-based CAD I like working on small projects at home that benefit from CAD. I’m also a programmer with a personal development environment that I’ve spent years making as cozy as possible. Naturally I’ve been interested in finding code-based CAD system to use for my projects that allows me to use that cozy development environment. I r

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ’25-30 minutes’ of ads and trailers

AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that “movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.” This already mirrors the estimated runtime of AMC’s preshow content, which includes ads and trailers, but now customers will be better informed if they want to arrive a little later without missing the start of thei

I am not a supplier (2022)

I am not a supplier 31 Dec 2022 - Thomas Depierre For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point. Before we get there, I am going to define what is usually meant by Supply Chain and suppliers, why we are applying to software. And then why at

5 Best Food Dehydrators, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I’ve been food dehydrator-curious for longer than I can remember. I knew some fellow mushroom foragers had these mysterious and bulky-looking appliances, but I never looked into owning one until I tried to dry sliced sweet potatoes in my gas oven. Not only did using my stove at its lowest setting for hours produce indoor air pollution, but I was unable to set my gas stove below 170 degrees Fahrenheit. My efforts produced burnt versions of the dried sweet potato slices sold as my dog’s overpriced

Something Hilarious Happens When Potential Customers See That a Product Has AI Features

New research suggests that slapping the "AI" label on products doesn't always go over well with buyers, the Wall Street Journal reports. A new study published this month in Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management found that consumers tended to turn away from products that were promoted as having AI — especially if the items were a high-risk purchase like a car. "When we were thinking about this project, we thought that AI will improve [consumers' willingness to buy] because everyone is p

Customize and extend Claude Code’s behavior by registering shell commands Claude Code hooks are user-defined shell commands that execute at various points in Claude Code’s lifecycle.

Researchers Uncover Hidden Ingredients Behind AI Creativity

We were once promised self-driving cars and robot maids. Instead, we’ve seen the rise of artificial intelligence systems that can beat us in chess, analyze huge reams of text and compose sonnets. This has been one of the great surprises of the modern era: physical tasks that are easy for humans turn out to be very difficult for robots, while algorithms are increasingly able to mimic our intellect. Another surprise that has long perplexed researchers is those algorithms’ knack for their own, str

This 6TB Crucial X10 SSD Costs Less Than the 4TB Version, With Limited Stock on Amazon for 4th of July

We may run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the Crucial X10 external solid-state drive, but we should cut to the most important detail of all right away — the massive 6TB model of the #1 new release in external SSDs is nearly half-price right now at Amazon, just $292. That’s even cheaper than the 4TB model of the same highly rated drive. This phenomenal pre-Prime Day deal slashes over $260 from the price of one of the best external drives on the market. The Crucial X10 is palm-si
