The CSS progress() function calculates a normalized value between 0 and 1, but browser support is limited. The article explains fallback implementations using calc(), clamp(), and the tan(atan2()) trigonometric trick to handle unitless numbers, single units, and mixed units respectively.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh discovered that brine shrimp swimming in turbulent water can help reverse the traditional flow of energy through a system by disrupting it with an angled obstacle, challenging long-held assumptions about how energy cascades in turbulent systems and potentially offering applications in pollution control and drug design.
High school and university students across France are protesting, with fires lit on streets and schools forced to close. A teacher attributes the unrest to social anxieties rather than manipulation, calling for calm.
DigitalOcean has discontinued its Open Source Credits Program, ending new applications and renewals. Node.js project must transition away from 21 DigitalOcean droplets and associated volumes, snapshots, and backups.
A discussion questioning whether traditional word processors remain relevant in modern computing, noting that web browsers and integrated text editing in various applications have shifted their historical importance, though layout-focused tools may still matter in certain fields.
Liam Quin, a multi-talented contributor to GIMP and XML standards, discusses his involvement with the free and open source image editor during an interview conducted in Rio de Janeiro in April 2017. Working for the W3C on XML, CSS, accessibility, and SVG, Quin uses GIMP professionally for his stock image company and appreciates its free software nature, cross-platform compatibility, and powerful image editing features.
Apedia is a personalized online learning platform where users purchase individual courses for $5 and work one-on-one with teachers to learn any subject through short, focused lessons tailored to their specific goals and learning pace. The platform emphasizes practical, mission-driven education with real resources and no subscription fees.
TypeSafe's Jev is a System One classifier model that provides probability distributions over multiple-choice answers with proper typing, unlike general LLMs. The author tested Jev's calibration against 1,000 physics problems spanning 10 distributions, examining whether its output probabilities match theoretically correct probability distributions.
A fossil discovery provides evidence about how dinosaurs evolved their distinctive pathway to flight, though specific details are inaccessible due to a page loading error.
Waymo and other robotaxi companies equip vehicles with interior cameras to monitor passenger safety and enforce rules, but their broad privacy policies allow footage to be used for product improvement with limited regulatory oversight. A 2024 incident in California where Waymo staff viewed cabin cameras to report teens with a water gun highlighted concerns about surveillance in autonomous vehicles.
Google Meet now offers AI avatar features allowing users to send digital representatives to video calls. The capability aims to help colleagues demonstrate care and presence remotely through artificial intelligence technology.
GymTagOps is a web-based equipment management system for gyms and fitness facilities that uses QR codes to enable members to report problems and help teams track maintenance, service history, and recurring tasks in one shared place.
The author created custom vibration patterns for text messages from 25 contacts by encoding each person's initials in Morse code on their iPhone. They used Claude to help generate the Morse code patterns and manually recorded each vibration in the phone's settings over about 45 minutes, allowing them to identify who is texting them by feel alone.
LoopCD is a training-free contrastive decoding framework for looped Transformers that improves token prediction by contrasting final outputs with earlier recurrent passes. The method achieves substantial performance gains—raising AIME pass rates from 61.88% to 73.33% and HumanEval from 22.56% to 31.71%—while reducing inference compute by 22.5% to 48.2% through fewer required loops.
Wizard Chess is a free, browser-based 3D chess game featuring Stockfish 19 engine for single-player matches and online multiplayer with ratings. Players can enjoy local two-player games, online ranked matches, customizable game speeds, and spectator modes across desktop and mobile devices.
ProVer is a framework that improves credit assignment in agentic reinforcement learning by using a model judge to identify pivotal decisions in trajectories, then verifying these segments through empirical outcome comparison rather than exhaustively evaluating every step. Tested on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SearchQA, ProVer achieves 9.91% and 7.12% improvements over GRPO for Qwen models at different scales.
A free AI prompt tool helps startup founders analyze venture financing documents beyond basic summaries, examining dilution, liquidation preferences, control provisions, and exit scenarios. The tool generates a Founder Dashboard highlighting key economic and control metrics to help founders understand deal consequences and ask better questions of legal counsel.
A Claude Code mod that enables multi-model task delegation, allowing Claude Code to orchestrate while Codex, Antigravity, opencode, or local models handle subtasks in parallel tmux sessions. Each harness uses its own compute resources instead of Claude's quota, with only the final report returned to the user.
A senior engineer expresses frustration with AI-generated code quality from tools like Claude and Copilot, noting that reviewing and maintaining such code is exhausting and time-consuming. They seek solutions from others who have successfully addressed the problem of integrating coding agents into their workflows.
The author experiments with TypeSafe's Jev, a decision-making AI model, to play the classic game Manic Miner. Jev shows mixed results compared to simpler algorithmic approaches, struggling to understand spatial relationships from text descriptions of game maps despite receiving ASCII representations and factual information about objectives.
