The circus freaks of open source examines how public fascination with the mental health crises of developers like Terry A. Davis (TempleOS) and Kent Overstreet (bcachefs) turns their work into spectacle. The piece argues this sensationalism harms the individuals, fuels harassment, and distracts from technical achievements. It critiques online communities for voyeurism and calls for compassion, privacy, and responsible discourse rather than gossip or armchair diagnosis. It links this behavior to broader patterns of harassment against neurodivergent and queer people and urges supportive, nonjudgmental responses.

Cro's Software North Star prioritizes end-user utility: software should be useful and lovable, correct, and maintainable and efficient. Bugs matter less than user harm; memory-safety or abstract beauty don't compensate for lack of correctness or a process to fix issues. Slow or unmaintainable software undermines usefulness. Detours happen, but the focus remains delivering software users can love, with developer experience only as a means to this end. The north star is maximum end-user utility.
Proposes 'catapulting' neural nets to human-like generalization by extreme overparameterization and high-learning-rate training on small, curated data. NNs would first memorize but, with cyclical learning rates and heavy regularization, grok into a simpler, generalizing algorithm, effectively catapulting to a human-like basin in loss space. A catapulted LLM would generalize better, resist adversarial examples, and be harder to clone, potentially aiding alignment and interpretability. It would be tested on tasks like arithmetic and hard-image benchmarks, using very large models (tens to hundreds of trillions of parameters) trained over many cycles, with dynamic evaluation and sleep-like regularization.
IOCCC 2025—the 29th International Obfuscated C Code Contest—highlights include near-historic submission quality, a post-IOCCC28 hiatus period, improved documentation of judging and processes, and a new live-show format with YouTube segments and per-entry award links. Winners and notable entries are listed (including new winner jingp49 from Taiwan and hat-tricks by Endoh, Nick Craig-Wood, and Don Yang). The final rules and guidelines (versions 29.15/29.08, 2025-12-02) were substantially rewritten. Plans exist to open IOCCC30 in late 2026. Resources: winning entries, tarball downloads, FAQs, author info, and publication under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Edwin Morris describes how Claude reshaped his design workflow at Jane Street. Instead of heavy Figma/docs, he builds prototype features in code, prompted by a problem description, and iterates with Claude to prove feasibility. The process: write the proposal, run a build with Claude, refine, deploy to a dev environment, test with users, and submit a feature that matches his aim. In two months AI-assisted prototyping moved from small tweaks to big developments (even 2000+ lines) and sometimes skips Figma entirely. Benefits: faster validation, clearer design feedback; downsides: reviewers may get fewer input opportunities and risk narrowing creativity.
HATE is a free, open‑source multiplayer FPS based on the original Cube engine. The hatearena/hate GitHub repo hosts its GPL-3.0 source, README, build scripts, and docs, with links to Itch.io and hate-arena.pages.dev for gameplay demos. The project has ~434 commits, 38 stars, 0 forks, and uses C++, C, Makefile, Shell, Go, and QuakeC; latest release is v0.0.1 (Jun 2, 2026).
PaceVer is a three-part versioning scheme for user-facing apps with two release channels: slow native binaries via stores and fast OTA updates. Versions use MARKETING.NATIVE.OTA, where MARKETING is free and monotonically non-decreasing, NATIVE increments for new binaries, and OTA for each OTA update. When NATIVE increments, OTA resets to 0; when MARKETING increments, NATIVE and OTA usually reset to 0. A new native build must roll out across platforms. It signals deployment pace (not change size or compatibility) and is not for libraries or web.
Ed Simon argues that Liminalism, a crowd-curated aesthetic of empty, in-between spaces, is a defining response to dystopian late capitalism. Tracing its roots from Century III Mall’s decline to The Backrooms lore (2019), the movement thrives on online communities that ban AI-generated content and share found images of spaces devoid of people. Rooted in art history (Hopper, de Chirico, Magritte) yet unmistakably internet-age, Liminalism channels alienation, nostalgia, and uncertainty—an art form born of pandemic-era isolation and digital siloing.
Oleg Losev, a Soviet technician, in 1922 observed that DC through a carborundum junction emitted faint light, an early LED later recognized as a quantum effect; credit came only in 2007. He also found negative resistance in zincite and built radios, naming the Crystodyne, rivaling vacuum tubes but failed to scale. Class barriers blocked formal fame; he earned a PhD only after his work stood on its own. He died of starvation in Leningrad in 1942 after sending a manuscript for a three-electrode semiconductor device lost at sea; five years later the transistor emerged elsewhere. Pioneers often lack resources.
Symbolica 2.0 introduces programmable symbols and hooks for normalization, printing, derivatives, series, and evaluation, letting users customize algebraic behavior. It remains a high-performance symbolic framework for Python and Rust, with a simpler prelude, builder-style API, and richer notebook output (HTML, LaTeX, Typst). The release adds JIT-compiled evaluators, double-float arithmetic, and expanded special functions (gamma, polylogarithms, Bessel, zeta). Evaluation uses type-erased callbacks to support multiple numeric domains, and performance of manipulation and polynomial routines improves. Upcoming: a GMP-free backend via malachite/astro-float and WASM builds. Free for hobbyists; licenses for organizations.
Tako VM is a self-hosted platform for isolated AI workload execution with a built-in job queue and worker pool. Each job runs in its own Docker container (with optional gVisor and full network isolation by default) and is persisted with stdout/stderr/timing and artifacts in PostgreSQL. It provides execution history, replay/debug of past jobs, retry logic, idempotency, and deduplication. It requires Docker and Python 3.9+, ships with CLI and REST/Python SDK, and aims to run untrusted code safely without external Redis/Celery, enabling offline, zero-cost per-run operation.
oproxy is a local MITM proxy to intercept, inspect, modify, and replay HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 traffic. It captures sessions, exports HAR/cURL/Fetch/Python snippets, and supports rule-based traffic manipulation (map-local/remote, DNS overrides, throttling, breakpoints, mocks) plus Lua scripts and upstream chaining. Run from source or Docker, with CA management and a web/API UI. It’s intended for testing browsers, CLIs, mobile apps, and services on a developer machine, with an OpenAI-compatible assistant to help prepare confirmed proxy changes.
GitHub issue reports a major P2P problem in Israel (and possibly the Middle East) affecting Steam Networking-based P2P games. Since around 13/03, Israeli players experience ~120 ms ping PC-to-PC in Street Fighter 6, while EU players see 60–80 ms; cross-play PC-to-PS5 shows 5–10 ms. Affects only Israelis, many in the community across several ISPs; port-forwarding and ISP checks found no issues. Other P2P games not using Steam Networking (e.g., Tekken 8) are unaffected. There are unconfirmed regional mentions, including Egypt.
Other link checkers solve recursion by building crawlers: a frontier with a visited/dedup set and a quiescence/termination signal. Muffet (Go) uses a WaitGroup and mutexed set, separating frontier from rate limiting. LinkChecker (Python) uses an unbounded queue with dedup at enqueue via a None placeholder and join-based termination. Linkinator (TypeScript) runs on a single event loop with a p-queue and queue.onIdle() for termination; dedup is race-free. Broken-link-checker (JS) uses nested queues and event cascades; termination cascades on queue drains. Lychee’s DAG lacks a back-edge; adding recursion requires frontier/limiter separation, robust termination, and enqueue-time dedup.
Biohub released a world model of protein biology—an open engine for predicting, designing, and discovering proteins across life. Built on ESMC (a language model from 2.8B sequences), it includes ESMFold2 (atomically resolved structure prediction) and ESM Atlas (6.8B sequences, 1.1B structures). The trio enables computing protein interfaces and designing functional binders with therapeutic-level affinity. In lab tests, ESMFold2 designed binders against five cancer/immunology targets (EGFR, PDGFRβ, PD-L1, CTLA-4, CD45) with 36–88% minibinder and 15–29% antibody-derived hit rates; PD-L1 binders restored T cell signaling. All open via Biohub Platform.
