A good buddy of mine did his PhD on this and now works on WiFi spatial mapping at a big tech company and It’s way more accurate than you’d imagine. You can map an entire college campus in real-time like Batman just with WiFi. Crazy stuff
breathing is enough to give you away each breath slightly changes how Wi-Fi waves reflect off your chest. with the right receiver and processing, those tiny changes can reveal your breathing rhythm the graphs in this animation use real WiRe-Breath recordings: orange is the rhythm extracted from Wi-Fi, gray is a reference breathing sensor i broke down how this works, and what else you can pull out of the radio waves around you, in the article below ↓

Running Qwen3 4B locally inside Runebender on an M4-Pro 48GB MBP. About 52 tokens/s. The editor starts its own llama-server and talks to it over its API on localhost. The model gets the same tools Claude Code gets through the editor's MCP server, but nothing leaves the machine.

Un bloguero mostró que las entrevistas laborales en 2026 ya se realizan sin personas. La empresa envió a la videollamada a un reclutador de IA, el bloguero respondió conectando a su agente de IA y salió del encuadre. Las redes neuronales siguieron discutiendo la vacante durante un rato más sin humanos. Al final, ambas se colgaron y comenzaron a despedirse infinitamente la una de la otra. Distópico.

Steam Machine is dead. You can now buy a second-hand PS5 for about $400 and play any game you want with similar performance. No hardware has any kind of software lock anymore. Just buy compute and do whatever you want.
🎮 PP (PS5 Proton) — A homebrew that runs Windows games on PS5. The project is growing into something bigger: Mihawk OS, a Windows 11 Clone🔥 32-bit and 64-bit Windows gaming through Proton, with a Linux compatibility layer planned as well.

I just tried out that Reverse Engineer Anything trending git repo. It decompiled a steam game I had previously purchased and launched it in Unity in less than 30 minutes using OPUS 5.5 on medium reasoning. Absolutely cracked tbh…. Fully decompiled to C#

The guy who invented Amazon Prime disappeared for six years. He came back this week with $250 million and a factory that turns lines of code into tiny working machines. Type different code, a different machine comes out the other end. That sounds fake. Here's why it took six years. A chip fab is the most precise factory humans have ever built, and it makes exactly one kind of thing. Flat silicon that processes information. The moment you want moving parts, multiple materials, or real 3D structure, you leave the fab for a world where getting one new device into production takes years and tens of millions of dollars. Engineers call it one product, one process. It's the reason micro-machines never got their Moore's Law. Holden's Matter Compiler kills the per-product process entirely. Features down to a few microns, no new tooling, and the system measures and corrects every step while it builds, then feeds what it learned into the next design. His first product is the tell on how sharp the strategy is. PrimeSwitch is a 150-amp relay for 800-volt power in AI data centers. It opens in roughly 50 microseconds, about 1,000x faster than a normal contactor. So the first thing to come out of a universal factory is aimed at the one market where demand is basically infinite and a faster switch means less fried hardware. Neal Stephenson wrote the Matter Compiler as fiction in 1995. Holden just shipped the first real product out of one, and it's a light switch for AI data centers.
After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development. Different code, different machine.

Dario Amodei considers people opting out of AI-driven transformation of human life as a problem, perhaps a dystopian problem, needing to be "solved", on par with anti-vax. This is from the same essay, 'Machines of Loving Grace', in which he advocates that we become pets of the machines, and suggests video games as one of several alternate vectors of meaning to replace meaningful struggle and challenge.

Ah, now I get it. I thought the AI catastrophe meant a model escaping its sandbox, launching nukes or hacking the power grid. Turns out it spots the AI debt bubble, shorts its own creators and crashes the financial system with trading bots. The singularity is a margin call.

i cannot wrap my fucking head around this. “the average result used the equivalent compute of roughly three hours of chatgpt pro thinking.” THREE HOURS!!!!????!! we’re talking about mathematical problems that humans have spent years or decades thinking about. i don’t think we’re remotely prepared for the scaling implications here.

This is the first time in my life where I have been truly stumped when it comes to ascertaining the optimal move. I truly have no idea. All paths seem to terminate almost instantaneously. I have never been faced with a scenario even remotely analogous to this.
Everything you know will be worth less in six months, and worthless in six years. Plan accordingly

This is incredible
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

What’s happening in the AI-powered reverse engineering and decompilation is absolutely insane. Pretty soon all software will be de facto open-source. AI is coming for everything and everyone.

Russia's five-hospital quarantine, FSB involvement, and reported hazmat use in response to the death of a single researcher at a weapons-lineage Irkutsk lab are inconsistent with a lab-acquired plague infection, which would have been treated with prophylactic antibiotics. 1/4
