Software Development at 800 Words Per Minute Jul 24, 2025, 12:19 AM (updated Jul 28, 2025, 10:18 PM ) Imagine reading code not by looking at the screen, but by listening to interface elements, variables, language constructs and operators read at 800 words per minute (WPM) - over 5 times faster than normal speech. It sounds like gibberish to most, but to me, it’s as natural as you reading this sentence. If you’ve ever wondered how someone codes without seeing the screen, or if you’re curious a

The Download: how China’s universities approach AI, and the pitfalls of welfare algorithms

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-12-30 16:10:00

Just two years ago, students in China were told to avoid using AI for their assignments. At the time, to get around a national block on ChatGPT, students had to buy a mirror-site version from a secondhand marketplace. Its use was common, but it was at best tolerated and more often frowned upon. Now, professors no longer warn students against using AI. Instead, they’re encouraged to use it—as long as they follow best practices. Just like those in the West, Chinese universities are going throug

Nothing Headphone (1) Review: Something Special

As someone who has been openly critical of Nothing’s claims that it will revolutionize the technology world, I happen to actually love the brand’s products. From the excellent Ear (a)—among our favorite cheap earbuds—to its affordable smartphones, the brand leverages excellent design and near-top-tier internals to absolutely dominate the mid-tier of the tech market.

Samsung Removes Bootloader Unlocking with One UI 8

Bootloader unlocking is a popular way to breathe new life into older devices, by loading unofficial software onto a device, like custom ROMs, gaining root access, custom kernels, etc. This option will be taken away from users with One UI 8.

Samsung may be killing bootloader unlocking on all phones with One UI 8

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung appears to be disabling bootloader unlocking in One UI 8 on more devices than before. Previously, only US models lacked the OEM Unlock toggle, but the restriction now seems to be spreading to global models as well. A contributor on XDA Developers discovered that Samsung is likely stripping out the necessary code to unlock bootloaders entirely. Samsung might be quietly locking down its phones even more tightly with the One UI 8 update. A new report

I Thought Robot Lawn Mowers Would be Simple: I Was Wrong

I spent most of spring and a good chunk of summer turning my backyard into a parking lot to test the best robot lawn mowers. In the process of doing that, I learned a lot about their benefits and their shortfalls. One of the biggest lessons was that, like most forms of automation, they can be a real pain to set up initially, but once they're ready to go, they save you a ton of effort and time compared with regular electric lawn mowers.

In sledgehammer every operation is encoded as a sequence of bytes packed into an array. Every operation takes 1 byte plus whatever data is required for it. Each operation is encoded in a batch of four as a u32. Getting a number from an array buffer has a high constant cost, but getting a u32 instead of a u8 is not more expensive. Sledgehammer bindgen reads the u32 and then splits it into the 4 individual bytes. It will shuffle and pack the bytes into as few buckets as possible and try to inline

The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header provides crucial insight into the origin of web requests. The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers.

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a
