CBS’s 60 Minutes offers rare, on-camera access to CECOT, the 40,000-capacity “Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo” that anchors El Salvador’s mass-incarceration campaign. What’s notable here isn’t a shiny AI showcase but the blunt, industrialization of detention: regimented intake lines, biometric processing, full-spectrum CCTV, and what

What’s notable here isn’t a new paper or benchmark, but a resource that keeps shipping clarity: The Illustrated Transformer remains the cleanest mental model for how attention actually flows through modern language models. Under the hood, it demystifies the Q/K/V dance, multi-head parallelism, residual pathways, and

GLM-4.7 arrives as a coding-forward iteration of the GLM line, signaling a push from generic chat toward practical software work: writing functions, fixing failing tests, and orchestrating tools. What’s notable here isn’t just “more code tokens,” but the emphasis on reliability-structured outputs for API calls, steadier function-calling,

“The Illustrated Transformer” became the rare technical explainer that changed how practitioners think, not just what they know. What’s notable here is how it connects the math (Q/K/V projections, scaled dot-product attention, residuals, layer norms) to the mental model engineers need to read papers, audit code, and

Disney Imagineering has debuted a next‑generation robotic Olaf, signaling another step in turning cinematic characters into operational, guest‑facing machines. What’s notable here isn’t a one‑off lab trick, but a production character tuned for repeatability, safety, and show quality in crowded spaces. Under the hood, this

Walt Disney Imagineering has unveiled a next‑generation Olaf, continuing its steady march from show-bound animatronics to free-roaming character robots that can perform in the wild. What’s notable here isn’t just another beloved IP getting a mechanical body; it’s the maturation of real-time, guest-facing robotics that read

A new Show HN tracks every book cited across Hacker News discussions in 2025, turning drive-by recommendations and thread lore into a structured, year-specific reading index. What’s notable here isn’t the concept of a list-it’s the curation model: surfacing titles that practitioners actually invoke in technical debates,

Ruby’s official website has rolled out a redesign-and it’s the practical kind that matters. What’s notable here: the refresh puts core resources front and center, reducing the clicks between you and the things you actually need (downloads, docs, and release notes). It’s the sort of housekeeping

A new Show HN entry, Jmail, pitches itself as a “Google Suite for Epstein files,” reframing a sprawling, public document trove into a navigable workspace rather than a pile of PDFs and scans. What’s notable here is the UX choice: applying consumer-grade productivity patterns to an investigative corpus lowers

Developers are pitting newer “Pro”-tier LLMs against their predecessors inside a Game Boy emulator, and Pokémon Crystal is a surprisingly effective yardstick. What’s notable here isn’t raw context length or synthetic benchmarks, but whether the model can sustain low-error, long-horizon control: navigating tile-based maps, parsing sprite UIs,
