RIP software hackathons. Long live the hardware hackathon.

💥 Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I took part in a hackathon in Vilnius the other weekend (courtesy of Basedcollective) during the pink soup festival. I brought along an old rotary phone and our two-man team spent the next 48 hours sticking our fingers in it. We wired a Raspberry Pi into the phone which interfaced with all of its IO and communicated with our server via a single websocket connection which controlled everything from two-way audio, the bell ringer (with custom frequency and audio patterns) and the hangup switch.

Landmark German ruling declares Google’s AI Overviews are Google’s own words and makes it liable for false answers

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: A German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for what its AI search overviews say. Previous case law shielding search engine operators from liability doesn't apply to AI overviews. The Regional Court of Munich hit Google with a temporary injunction barring the company from spreading false claims about two Munich-based publishers through its AI-generated search overviews (case no. 26 O 869/26). The court classified Google as a direct infringer because the "AI overview" is its own content, not just a list of…

I inadvertently have the handle of the frying pan sitting above the flame and when I go to pick up the pan my entire hand melts off in an instant. Damnit. I only had two of those and now I’m down to one. That was my dominant hand too. But you have to just keep moving forward when these things happen. I pull the pan back to the correct position with…

sig-id/nucleus: Lightweight OCI container runtime for NixOS · GitHub

0 CommentsEntertainment

🚀 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Extremely lightweight, security-hardened, declarative container runtime for agents and production services Nucleus is a minimalist container runtime for Linux. It provides isolated execution environments using Linux kernel primitives without the overhead of traditional container runtimes. For production services, it is designed around a fully declarative model: Nix builds the root filesystem, the NixOS module declares the service, and Nucleus mounts a pinned, reproducible closure at runtime. Nucleus supports three operating modes: Agent mode (default) – ephemeral, fast-startup sandboxes for AI agent workloads Strict agent mode…

signalblur/exifsmugglingpoc: A Proof-of-Concept using Cache Smuggling + Exif data to passively download a second stage payload · GitHub

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: A Proof-of-Concept evolution of Cache Smuggling. This attack conceals an executable payload inside a JPG's Exif data. As a result, image caching (such as that of a Web Browser) can be used to passively download the payload. As a result, the example loader (chrome_poc.ps1) does not need to make any internet requests to fetch the second stage payload. Instead, it simply extracts it from the Chrome browser's cache. For full details see: https://malwaretech.com/2025/10/exif-smuggling Convert PowerShell Loader to ClickFix Command python3 build_clickfix_cmd.py --input-file chrome_poc.ps1 --output-file…

If Claude Fable stops helping you, you’ll never know — Jonathon Ready

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I didn't expect to read this in a model card. Fable 5 model card : we’ve implemented new interventions that limit Claude’s effectiveness for requests targeting frontier LLM development (for example, on building pretraining pipelines, distributed training infrastructure, or ML accelerator design). Using Claude to develop competing models already violates our Terms of Service, but enforcing this restriction through our safeguards avoids accelerating the actors most willing to violate these terms. Unlike our interventions for cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, and distillation attempts, these safeguards…

🚀 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: 07 Jun 2026 This post is a high-level explainer for my Master’s thesis, which involves designing hardware architectures for ultrafast inference and online learning using the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) architecture. I’ll assume familiarity with standard machine learning concepts, as well as some understanding of hardware and digital circuits; read my previous post here for the latter. Please read the two papers below for more information, particularly for details on benchmarks and notable results. [FPGA 2026 Best Paper]Duc Hoang*, Aarush Gupta*, and Philip C. Harris.…

The number of respondents is 54 percent higher this year than last, and the increased sample size may account for…

🚀 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Today we’re launching Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class1 model that we’ve made safe for general use.Fable 5’s capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available. It is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks of AI capability, showing exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and many other areas. The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without safeguards, Fable 5’s capabilities in areas like…

These bugs often arise because there a few different versions of libraries on the system and the “wrong” version gets loaded instead of the one the developer used wanted. Note You may…
