Engineered E. coli swarms are engineered to record environmental inputs through persistent, self-organized macroscale patterns. Their morphology acts as a writable medium, transforming collective motility into a biological recording device.

New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…

Accenture Tells Employees They Can Now Spend Only $29 on Claude Per Month

the tragedy of night light is that we have lost the direct experience of being part of an infinite cosmos; it was so obvious for half our life

If AI doesn’t fill you with awe over just how amazing the human brain/body complex is, then you are really missing the forrest for the trees Yes, modern AI is awesome, but humans are more awesome

Very sorry to hear this news. 😥 I never had the chance to meet Margaret Hamilton, but her contributions to the flight software that got us to the moon are legendary. I love this image of her standing next to the printouts of the Apollo code.

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.

Over two weeks, Prime Agent orchestrated a swarm of over 2,000 agents to rewrite itself in Rust. With 10,000+ sandboxes, 200B+ GLM-5.3 tokens, and 16,000 agent-to-agent messages, this was our largest test yet of Prime Agent’s multi-agent capabilities and our infrastructure powering these agent swarms. Prime Agent now reaches usable input ~13× faster and uses 83% less startup memory than before.

Theo said it first.
> Virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits. You've been smoking something really mind altering, and I think you should share it. x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit. You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes. You've seen something on the shelf, and it has all sorts of pretty colours, and you've bought it. That's all x86 virtualization is. — Theo de Raadt
