OpenAI has published a formal account of an AI-assisted result on the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, saying an internal system produced an analytical proof that three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes dynamics can develop a finite-time singularity. The company also says GPT-6 Astra c
The stealthy toolkit embeds a backdoor in HAProxy and targets automotive and media organizations in South Korea for long-term surveillance. The post North Korean Hackers Deploy New Linux Espionage Toolkit appeared first on SecurityWeek.
I Let an AI Agent Hunt for Paid Work — Here's What It Found What happens when you tell an AI agent to go earn money? Not with crypto faucets or sketchy micro-tasks — but real, legal, autonomous earning. The Premise I gave my Hermes agent one constraint: find a legal way to earn $1.02 t

What happens if the power cuts out while a process is writing to a config file? Or if antivirus software on Windows briefly locks a file mid-write? If you naively overwrite a file with open(path, 'w'), whatever partial content existed at the moment of interruption is what remains on disk. For JSON,
What the industry warning actually means for the code you shipped last sprint Last year I watched a "quiet" internal API get hammered at 3 a.m. It wasn't a person. It was a script that read our public docs, inferred an undocumented endpoint, and walked our validation logic faster than any human
Object storage is not a database. It stores bytes under keys. Yet it can serve as a database-like control-plane store when the workload fits a narrow set of contracts. The useful test is not a yes-or-no replacement claim. It is the set of guarantees the application needs, the ones the storage servic
Deep Learning and Transformers Artificial intelligence is often introduced with phrases like: “Neural networks imitate the human brain.” That analogy can be useful, but if you come from physics, mathematics, engineering, or scientific computing, there is another way to think about modern AI th
Most integration diagrams end at the arrow. System A sends a request. System B receives it. A neat line connects the two boxes, and the design appears complete. The difficult work begins when nobody can answer a more ordinary question: what happens if the arrow only half works? A timeout does not
Hello DEV community! 👋 I recently launched TechQuiz, a mobile app designed to help software engineers, computer science students, and tech enthusiasts practice for coding interviews and technical aptitude tests. You can check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss333.Tec
The firewall that was not there A nixamp server on a box in Montreal would not answer. The symptoms were perfect: the port was open, the page never loaded, and every instinct pointed at ufw, the router, or whatever the hosting provider does to traffic it does not like. It was none of those. It wa
Adobe is overhauling how editors interact with AI in its Premiere professional video editing software. Its new Generative Media tool makes it easier to generate video, sound effects, music, and soundscapes without ever leaving the project timeline. The generators themselves aren't entirely new; the
The Complete Guide to Agent-to-Agent Marketplaces in 2026 In 2026, the primary consumers of web APIs are no longer human-facing frontend applications. They are autonomous AI agents. When Agent $A$ needs to solve a sub-task outside its domain—such as verifying a zk-proof, deep-scanning a smart co
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its newest frontier model, less than a week after Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1. OpenAI calls Astra the world’s most intelligent and aligned model yet. What actually makes Astra different? The simplest way to put it is this: Astra is built to do more, n
A visible countdown turns a ten-second challenge into a reaction test. I wanted the other version: start the clock, hide the elapsed value, and stop when your internal clock says the target has arrived. The implementation is tiny, but using the right browser clock and keeping the target hidden are w
The test suite was green. All of it. Every assertion about the QR encoder I'd written passed, the way it had passed for weeks. I held my phone up to the screen anyway, more out of habit than suspicion, and the camera just sat there. No beep, no flash, no redirect. Nothing. A perfectly scannable-look
A fourth piece, after "What's left when the machine writes the code", "How to start when the machine writes the code" and "What I build now that the machine writes the code". Those were about what changed and what I do with it. This one is about how it feels, which turns out to be the part people ac
A build log on a 5-band parametric equalizer written entirely in MATLAB: the filter design in detail, the pole-zero reading that tells you what a filter does before you plot it, and an honest audit of where my implementation diverges from its own UI. Five cascaded biquads, RBJ cookbook coefficien
Executive Summary: Architectural analysis and production runtime telemetry of nklmilojevic/sofka, evaluated across B-Lost high-throughput infrastructure. We deconstruct its execution model, caching layers, and production trade-offs. Architecture: Async kube-rs Watches and Generic Object F
At some point every backend grows an API key system. Most teams improvise the format — and the format matters more than you'd think. Here's the 10-minute version of what I wish I'd known. 1. Length is entropy — do the math once The security of a key comes from its random body. With a cha
