Academics typically use citation count and popularity as a rough proxy for validation. It's certainly not perfect, but it is something that people think about. Semantic Scholar in particular is doing great work in this area, making it

NeurIPS leadership doesn’t think hallucinated references are necessarily disqualifying; see the full article from Fortune for a statement from them: https://archive.ph/yizHN > When reached for comment, the NeurIPS board

I was getting completely AI-generated reviews for a WACV publication back in 2024. The area chairs are so overworked that authors don't have much recourse, which sucks but is also really hard to handle unless more volunteers step up to

One thing I like about JPEG-XL is that it supports all kinds of weird image formats. For example, I used to work with depth data a lot, which is best expressed as monochrome 16-bit floating point images. Previously, TIFF was the only format

I regularly work with images larger than 65,535px per side. WEBP can only do 16,383px per side and the AVIF spec can technically do 65,535, but encoders tap out far before then. Even TIFF uses 32-bit file offsets so can't go above 4GB

The Vimeo CEO is also right -- this action technically unlocks greater focus for their team!

For folks curious about the supported language subset, here's a summary: - Modules aren't implemented yet, but are high on the list - Continuation-based control flow isn't supported yet, including break and promises. Tail cal

Is there any shared lineage between this and Whalesong, a previous Racket->JS compiler? Of course both projects have the same maintainer if I recall, Jens Axel Søgaard is a rockstar :)

I’ve seen Claude rm .git in rare occasions to “fix rebase hiccups” Version control ain’t a match for a good backup

What about API calls? What about GitHub trusted CI deploys? One frustrating thing about these solutions is that they’re great to prevent Claude from breaking a machine, but there’s no pervasive sandbox for third party services

You get that that’s worse though, right? Windows renders the window once at a single DIP resolution. The other side of the window appears either too big or too small. MacOS renders the window once at a single DIP resolution. Then, the other

What does "when you stop interacting with it" mean? Closing all TCP connections? When CPU usage drops to below some threshold?

Google refused to merge JpegXL as a strategy play to promote AVIF, which was in use by other teams (i think Photos?). Internally, chrome engineers were supportive of jxl but were overridden by leadership.

This actually happened to some restaurants who found their service on DoorDash. The restaurant owners were able to make a fine profit out of DoorDash’s arbitrage scheme.

Chatterbox TTS does this in “voice cloning” mode but you have to implement the streaming part yourself. There are two inputs: audio A (“style”) and B (“content”). The timbre is taken from A, and the content, pronunciation, prosody, accent,

For those lacking context, ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis today. An agent standing beside a car shot a driver through a car window, killing her and causing the car to lose control and crash into other parked cars. Allegedly, the

On iOS at least, an app can quickly ask for a star rating via a modal dialog. No review necessary. Thanks to dark patterns, users sometimes think it's asking them to rate their previous experience, or the podcast they're listening

To me, “hijacking” a passkey sounds like credential disclosure, which is quite worrying for a core team member to talk about. I know what you mean, but it’s probably the wrong term to be using if we want to emphasize that passkeys cannot be

Out of date? If what you say is true, shouldn’t that make the understanding of trisectors more urgent and important? If anything, this is more relevant than before.

It’s interesting to me that Augustus DeMorgan’s view of “a paradoxer” is someone who “attacks the consequences, direct and indirect, of the mathematical method.” (gentle paraphrase) Why is that the central tenet of being a paradoxer? To me,

This is the key. It’s not that 2026 is the year of the Linux desktop, but rather 2026 is very much not the year of the Windows desktop. Bazzite is rough in the way that all distributions are, but I imagine Windows 11 is rougher.

I was under the impression that sophisticated iOS malware like Pegasus can access the camera without turning on the dot. This is certainly possible on MacOS.
