How to Fight Food Noise if It’s Taking Over Your Life, Both IRL and Online

If you’ve ever found your mind consumed with constant thoughts about food, chances are you have experienced food noise. It's usually brought on by conflicting messages about nutrition, either through everyday conversation or content online. It could be feeling guilty because you ate a cupcake when you promised yourself you weren’t going to touch sweets for a while, or maybe you’re trying to meet your protein quota and are obsessively keeping track of it. These thoughts are common, and in some ca

Surfing sand and sea, herding beasts and other new indie games worth checking out

Welcome to our latest recap of what's going on in the indie game space. It's been a very busy week in that realm, thanks to Gamescom. Before we jam through a few of this week's new releases and some of the many, many Gamescom reveals, there's one game that has risen high above the din to the point where it's drowning out many of the smaller announcements. Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date, and it's very, very soon. September 4, in fact. I feel for all the developers who have games

Writing Speed-of-Light Flash Attention for 5090 in CUDA C++

In this post, I will walkthrough how I learned to implement Flash Attention for 5090 in CUDA C++. The main objective is to learn writing attention in CUDA C++, since many features are not available in Triton, such as MXFP8 / NVFP4 MMA for sm120. I also feel this is a natural next step after learning about matmul kernels. Lastly, there are many excellent blogposts on writing fast matmul kernels, but there is none for attention. So I want to take this chance to write up something nicely. Readers

Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions

If you look at a map of lightning near the Port of Singapore, you’ll notice an odd streak of intense lightning activity right over the busiest shipping lane in the world. As it turns out, the lightning really is responding to the ships, or rather the tiny particles they emit. Using data from a global lightning detection network, my colleagues and I have been studying how exhaust plumes from ships are associated with an increase in the frequency of lightning. For decades, ship emissions steadil

Abxylute will sell an absurd 3D handheld from Intel and Tencent Games for "under $1,700"

As the handheld PC boom has taken off, companies have tried to push the boundaries of the Steam Deck form factor Valve helped popularize. Lenovo tried detachable controllers. Acer is trying an 11-inch screen. And Abxylute is apparently combining them both (and then some) into the Abxylute 3D One, which The Verge reports features an 11-inch, glasses-free 3D display and detachable controllers, all for "under $1,700." The Abxylute 3D One is based on a hardware prototype co-developed by Intel and T

Two men fell gravely ill last year; their infections link to deaths in the ’80s

Four men in Georgia, all living in the same county, mysteriously became infected with a potentially deadly soil bacterium that's normally found in the tropics and subtropics, particularly Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The four cases were tied together not just by their shared location but also by the bacterial strain; whole genome sequencing showed the bacteria causing all four infections were highly related, suggesting a shared source of their infections. But this bacterium doesn't te

Google shares rise on report of Apple using Gemini for Siri

Alphabet shares rose on a Friday report that Apple is in early discussions to use Google's Gemini AI models for an updated version of the iPhone-maker's Siri assistant. The company's shares rose more than 3% on the Bloomberg report, which said Apple recently inquired of Google about the potential for the search giant to build a custom AI model that would power a new Siri that could launch next year. Google's flagship AI models Gemini have consistently been atop key benchmarks for artificial int

One of Gboard’s playful features could be on the chopping block (APK teardown)

Ryan McLeod / Android Authority TL;DR Gboard may be removing Bitmoji integration on December 15, 2025. A warning hidden in the latest beta says the Bitmoji tab will disappear after that date. You’ll still be able to use Bitmoji through its website or other supported services. Bitmoji has long been part of Gboard’s sticker lineup, letting you drop personalized avatars into chats without leaving your keyboard. But it looks like that integration may be on its way out in the fairly near future.

Apple is reportedly considering using Gemini to power the new Siri

Apple might use Gemini to power its revamped version of Siri, Bloomberg reports. The companies are in the early stages of exploring a partnership, with Google training a version of its Gemini model that can run on Apple's servers.

Is this Google's first Gemini-powered smart speaker?

Google held its annual Made by Google showcase this week, during which it unveiled the latest Pixel phones and various new AI features. What it didn’t announce is a Gemini-powered smart home speaker, but it might have snuck one into the presentation as an easter egg. As spotted by The Verge, about 15 minutes into the stream, on a table next to F1 driver Lando Norris during a Gemini demonstration, you can clearly see what looks a lot like a smart speaker. The fabric-wrapped device we see in the

iPhone 17 release date, iOS 26 features and everything else to know about Apple's upcoming lineup

August is almost over, which means we're getting closer to the Apple iPhone event — it usually takes place in mid-September. That also means we'll finally get to officially lay eyes on the iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we (presumably) still have to wait a few weeks until the iPhone event, we can only speculate what the new devices will look like. As with most u

Google’s Next Smart Speaker Is All About AI

Developer gets prison time for sabotaging former employer’s network with a ‘kill switch’

My favorite Google AI features from the Pixel 10 launch

The Made By Google event was not only a showcase of Google’s latest Pixel hardware, but a launchpad for many new AI features.

Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Max Review: Faster and Safer Than Ever

In a market that is becoming increasingly more crowded (for the better, as getting more people on bikes is good for all of us), Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes has planted its flag as a brand that offers the fun and utility of an ebike at a lower cost than its competitors, thanks in large part to its direct-to-consumer model.

Elon Musk and X reach settlement with axed Twitter workers

Elon Musk and X reach settlement with axed Twitter workers The BBC has contacted X - formerly called Twitter - and the lawyers representing the employees for comment. Some workers sued the company over their terminations and severance packages, after some 6,000 staff - more than half its workforce - were sacked as part of a cost-cutting measure after Musk took over the company in 2022.

I Guessed the New iOS Release Date Before: Here's My Guess for iOS 26

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the tech giant has since released multiple beta versions of the software. Those versions bring new features, like a Liquid Glass design and call screening to block spam callers, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. You can expect many of those capabilities to land on your iPhone soon. Apple said it will release the update to the general public this fall, which is good but not the most helpful timeframe. But if

Io_uring, kTLS and Rust for zero syscall HTTPS server

This is my personal blog. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer. Around the turn of the century we started to get a bigger need for high capacity web servers. For example there was the C10k problem paper. At the time, the kinds of things done to reduce work done per request was pre-forking the web server. This means a request could be handled without an expensive process creation. Because yes, creating a new process for every request used to be somethi
