Hackers extracted data from a Flock safety camera, revealing that the devices detect people and store vast image collections, while Flock's national network shares this data with over 2,000 agencies — including uses for immigration enforcement and tracking abortion seekers.

Working through complex numbers and linear algebra, the author shows how a llama sketch decomposes into 1,024 synchronized circles, and the more circles you add, the closer the drawing comes to the original.

The new processor stacks a 2nm compute die over a 5nm SRAM and I/O die, packs 144 cores based on Arm v9.3-A, and ships in 2027 in two power variants. A later Monaka-X chip targeting 2029 is planned for the FugakuNext supercomputer.

The first rounds produced broken architectures; the breakthrough came when models could compare their output against the real DOS game running in DOSBox — and ultimately when Opus 5.5 ported the room-drawing routine from the open-source SDLPoP reconstruction.

Editor Geoff Graham says recent invoices went unpaid and he can no longer afford to work without a contract, while DigitalOcean has not communicated about the site's future — even as the company pledged $3 million to a project led by David Heinemeier Hansson and cut smaller monthly support to GNOME and Flathub.

The 472-page full-color hardcover builds intuition from physics upward, covering semiconductors, analog building blocks, digital logic, microcontrollers, and PCB design — with nearly 300 hand-drawn diagrams and workbench photographs.

The open-source Security Engine was not affected, no client data or credentials were leaked, and all tokens have been rotated. The incident highlights supply chain risk in CI/CD pipelines and the limits of token rotation as a standalone mitigation.

The project also documents compatibility changes for older Linux systems and future Intel-based macOS support, but the supplied materials do not constitute an independent security or performance audit.

The official repository also documents Day-0 integrations and a research-only license that limits commercial use without a separate agreement.

The move could close the planned route for returning Perseverance’s rock cores to Earth, but the agreement still required final legislative approval, leaving the program’s legal and practical fate unresolved.

Read full article →ZuckOff is a free phone app that matches Bluetooth identifiers and manufacturer data against known smart-glasses signatures. It can estimate rough proximity, but it cannot identify the wearer or confirm that a camera is active.

The announcement matters for efficient open-weight AI, but the supplied sources do not independently verify the results or show a universal lead over closed models.
