Regulators Say Binance Must Tighten Money Laundering, Terrorism Rules

Beleaguered crypto company Binance must tighten up its compliance controls covering anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism and add an independent auditor if it wants to keep doing business in Australia, regulators said this week. The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) is mandating the crypto giant put outside auditors in place within 28 days of its decision. The watchdog said that the new rules are intended to address “serious concerns” it has about its oversight

The permit comes after years of regulatory negotiations and signals a potential shift toward broader deployment of d

8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller Review: For Human Hands

The Nintendo 64 was a fantastic console, home to generation-defining games such as Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007. With its four built-in controller ports, it revolutionized multiplayer gaming in front of the TV, and it was the first mainstream console to introduce an analog stick, essential for navigating the burgeoning 3D worlds the medium was starting to deliver. Unfortunately, the controller it did all that with was an abomination, an unholy three-pronged monstrosity that earned my lifelo

'Peacemaker' Season 2 Release Schedule: Here's When You Can Watch Episode 2

John Cena may be on the verge of wrestling retirement, but that doesn't mean the man hasn't stayed busy. Case in point: Peacemaker has returned for new episodes. James Gunn's inaugural DC Universe original series first hit streaming in 2022, and season 2 is now upon us. Who says good things don't come to those who wait? Season 2 picks up where the DCU series left Cena's flawed hero: He's still working out his toxic past and trying to figure out where he fits in the present. Needless to say, it

Best Toaster Ovens for Your Kitchen in 2025

Colin West McDonald/CNET I set out to cook a wide variety of common toaster oven fodder. With the exception of the toast tests, where I looked at each toaster oven's individual settings for light, medium and dark toast, I used standardized temperature and cook times and followed the recommendations on the box for whatever I was cooking, wherever possible. Toasting capabilities: Speed and consistency Making toast is one of the critical tasks for a toaster. I mean, it's right there in the name.

What Is the Magnetic Constant and Why Does It Matter?

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem

Published: Aug 13, 2025 | at 11:00 AM We’ve reached an inflection point in AI development. The scaling laws that once promised ever-more-capable models are showing diminishing returns. GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini represent remarkable achievements, but they’re hitting asymptotes that brute-force scaling can’t solve. The path to artificial general intelligence isn’t through training ever-larger language models—it’s through building engineered systems that combine models, memory, context, and determ

Evaluating LLMs for my personal use case

Most models are excellent, so cost and latency dominate. It’s great that AI can win maths Olympiads, but that’s not what I’m doing. I mostly ask basic Rust, Python, Linux and life questions. So I did my own evaluation. I gathered 130 real prompts from my bash history (I use command line tool llm). I had Qwen3 235B Thinking and Gemini 2.5 Pro group them into categories. They both chose very similar ones, broadly (with examples): Programming - “Write a bash script to ..” Sysadmin - “With curl

Rolling the dice with CSS random()

Random functions in programming languages are amazing. You can use them to generate variations, to make things feel spontaneous and fresh. Until now there was no way to create a random number in CSS. Now, the random() function is on its way. You’ll be able to create a random animation delay, layout content at a random place on the screen, create a random color, or anything you want — all without any JavaScript. The Basics This new function has three arguments in this pattern: random(min, max,

The cost of interrupted work (2023)

Interruptions cost 23 minutes 15 seconds, right? 2023-11-05 You’ve likely read lots of blog posts stating that it takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to work after an interruption, context switch, or meeting. Thus, “do you have five minutes” ends up not only costing those few minutes, but instead about half an hour. But where does that number come from? I just wanted to quickly reference this fact to a colleague. Quick search for the reference, copy’n’paste it, in and out, 20 minutes

Stepanov's biggest blunder? The curious case of adjacent difference

The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified. The following example demonstrates how to apply the algorithm to delta-compress a postings list of document identifiers that contain

Recreationally overengineering my location history

2025-08-19 overengineering, software It’s been a while since I published my last #overengineering blog post. That’s not because I didn’t overengineer things, I was busier starting projects as opposed to finishing projects. Today, we shall fix this lack of content. I like data. That’s about as surprising as the sun rising in the morning. A big part of that is visualizing various aspects of my life. I consider myself lucky enough to be able to travel quite a bit, so I always liked having a visua
