Bored at Work? Tubi Wants to Help You Secretly Watch TV on the Job

Should you be watching TV while at work? Why yes, yes you should -- according to Tubi. On Wednesday, the streaming service announced the launch of a stealthy new tool that helps you watch shows and movies while you're at work. Some of you are probably already doing that (I'm not judging), but with the introduction of Productubity, you can be sneaky and switch to a fake screen to trick your colleagues. "It's designed for the modern multitasker who's streaming on the sly, because sometimes, the o

Speaker Johnson says China is straining U.S. relations with Nvidia chip ban

DataTables CDN Outage – post incident review

Outage - post incident review By Allan Jardine On 29th July 2025, the DataTables.net site had a major outage as a result of an attack. This took out the main site with its examples and documentation, the support forum, and the sub-domains, including, most importantly, the DataTables CDN. Digging into such an event, when something has gone so wrong, is not a fun thing to do, but it is important for me to do so I can learn what I can do better in future, for you so you can understand what happe

I got the highest score on ARC-AGI again swapping Python for English

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily. This highlights a core limitation of current LLMs: they struggle to reason about things they weren't trained on. They struggle to generalize. But they are getting better, fast. Last December, I got first place on ARC-AGI v1 with a score of 53.6%. A lot has changed since then. Thinking models had just come out and

CrowdStrike Infested With "Self-Replicating Worms"

A year after a glitch at cybersecurity company CrowdStrike triggered a global computer outage affecting millions of computers, the software vendor is being forced to contain a new threat: a swarm of self-replicating worms. As first reported by investigative cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, CrowdStrike once again became the launchpad for a potentially debilitating security hazard when some 25 code packages were compromised by a novel strand of malware. Dubbed "Shai-Hulud," the malicious so

US Tech Giants Race to Spend Billions in UK AI Push

Microsoft and Nvidia have unveiled plans to invest up to $45 billion dollars into the UK economy, in a move that will bolster the building of more data centers as well as research and development into artificial intelligence.

As part of the agreement, Microsoft has committed to invest $30 billion in AI infrastructure over the next fo

Tesla Engineer Quits, Roasts Elon Musk in Spectacular Fashion

After a tenure of eight years, a Tesla engineer has quit the company — and directed a seething missive toward his boss, Elon Musk. "I do need to address the elephant in the room: the main reason I'm leaving is that I think Elon has dealt huge damage to Tesla's mission (and to the health of democratic institutions in several countries)," Giorgio Balestrieri, a staff algorithms engineer who joined in 2017, wrote in a scathing LinkedIn post last week. "Beyond that, Elon's leadership and decision m

A string formatting library in 65 lines of C++

In this write-up, I will walk you through an implementation of a string formatting library for C++ I came up with for my video game. The end result came out really compact, at only 65 lines of code—providing a skeleton that can be supplemented with additional functionality at low cost. Usage Given a format buffer… char buffer [ 64 ] ; String_Buffer buf = { str , sizeof str } ; …the fmt::format function provided by this library can be called with a format string parameter, containing the char

China says Nvidia violated antitrust regulations

Trade tensions between China and the U.S. regarding semiconductors just got even more strained. On Monday, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation ruled that semiconductor giant Nvidia was in violation of the country’s antitrust regulations, as first reported by Bloomberg. The ruling was in reference to Nvidia’s 2020 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies, a computer networking supplier, for $7 billion. An Nvidia spokesperson supplied the following statement, “We comply with the law i

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season was weird as hell. Not just for the wild swings in tone and genre the series went for in its latest round of boldly going, but for a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half. But now that the season is over, and work on the next has already concluded, its producers are beginning to acknowledge that stumble. Speaking to TrekMovie recently after a screening of season 3

Accelerated Game of Life with CUDA / Triton

Let’s look at implementing Conway’s Game of Life using a graphics card. I want to experiment with different libraries and techniques, to see how to get the best performance. I’m going to start simple, and get increasingly complex as we dive in. The Game Of Life is a simple cellular automata, so should be really amenable to GPU acceleration. The rules are simple: Each cell in the 2d grid is either alive or dead. At each step, count the alive neighbours of the cell (including diagonals). If the c

Sunday Night Football: How to Watch Falcons vs. Vikings Tonight

In his first NFL start, J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a furious fourth-quarter comeback, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for a third to beat the Bears in Chicago.

My first impressions of Gleam

I’m looking for a new programming language to learn this year, and Gleam looks like the most fun. It’s an Elixir-like language that supports static typing. I read the language tour, and it made sense to me, but I need to build something before I can judge a programming language well. I’m sharing some notes on my first few hours using Gleam in case they’re helpful to others learning Gleam or to the team developing the language.

Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis

Medical procedure for the eye Medical intervention Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), also known as "tooth in eye" surgery,[1] is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients.
