How many dimensions is this?

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been posting about seemingly simple mathematical problems that defy intuition, and where the answers we find on the internet turn out to be shallow or hard to parse. For a taste, you might enjoy the articles on Gödel’s beavers or on infinite decimals. Today, let’s continue by asking a simple question: how many dimensions does a line have? A trained mathematician might blurt out an answer involving vector spaces or open set coverings, but there’s no fun in that.

iCloud Calendar abused to send phishing emails from Apple’s servers

iCloud Calendar invites are being abused to send callback phishing emails disguised as purchase notifications directly from Apple's email servers, making them more likely to bypass spam filters to land in targets' inboxes. Earlier this month, a reader shared an email with BleepingComputer that claimed to be a payment receipt for $599 charged against the recipient's PayPal account. This email included a phone number if the recipient wanted to discuss the payment or make changes to it. "Hello Cu

How to Add WIRED as a Preferred Source on Google (2025)

As you’ve probably noticed, Google has gotten 
 weird lately. Weirder? It can be hard to find the search results you’re looking for. Between AI summaries and algorithm changes resulting in unexpected sources, it can be tricky to navigate the most popular search engine in the world. (And publishers are feeling the strain, too.) Earlier this year, Google updated its algorithm. This is nothing new—Google updates its algorithms hundreds of times per year, with anywhere from two to four major “core

What to do with an old iPad

I recently inherited my parents’ old iPad 2. It had iOS 9 on it and was barely usable, in part due to how slow it was but mostly because of old SSL certificates and apps stopping support. But I wanted to give it some life because I hate to see a working machine go to waste. So I asked around and got a great answer: The iPad 2 can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 or 8.4.1. Both offer better performance than iOS 9 and have untethered jailbreaks. Once downgraded and jailbroken you can sideload hours and

Matmul on Blackwell: Part 2 – Using Hardware Features to Optimize Matmul

In the first blog post in this series we explained Nvidia's Blackwell GPU architecture and concluded with a 4 line kernel that was a bit worse than cuBLAS.

In this post we are going to continue our journey and improve our performance by more than 50x our initial kernel benchmark. Along the way we are going to explain more GPU programming concepts and leverage novel Blackwell features. Note

The Biden-Era Plan to Pay Travelers for Airline-Caused Delays Is Dead

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici

YouTube Cracks Down on Premium Family Plans Used at Different Addresses

Sharing a YouTube Premium or YouTube Music family plan with people who don't live at your address could soon cost you the perks you're used to.

YouTube required family plan members to share the same household in 2023 but it looks like enforcement is stepping up. If you lose Premium, you can still stream videos and liste

IRHash: Efficient Multi-Language Compiler Caching by IR-Level Hashing

Compilation caches (CCs) save time, energy, and money by avoiding redundant compilations. They are provided by means of compiler wrappers (Ccache, sccache, cHash) or native build system features (Bazel, Buck2). Conceptually, a CC pays off if the achieved savings by cache hits outweigh the extra costs for cache lookups. Thus, most techniques try to detect a cache hit early in the compilation process by hashing the (preprocessed/tokenized) source code, but hashing the AST has also been suggested t
