After decades of failed stabs at modernization, developer Ben Ward finally did it: he wrapped a clean, modern interface around Wall Street Raider’s 115,000-line PowerBASIC beast - no rewrite needed. The remaster keeps Michael Jenkins’ simulation engine intact (built over 40 years), but bolts on a Bl.. read more  

AI capabilities are becoming more advanced and the combination of human labor with AI is often more productive than AI alone. Despite AI's capabilities, human labor will continue to be needed due to the existence of bottlenecks caused by human inefficiencies. The demand for goods and services create.. read more  

Akamas just dropped fresh numbers: over60% of Java apps running on Kubernetesstick with default JVM settings. That means sluggish memory use, GC thrash, and CPUs getting choked out. Even with "container-friendly" Java builds out there, most teams still skip setting GC types or heap sizes. Kubernetes.. read more  

Ingress-nginxis heading for the exits - end-of-life drops March 2026. That puts Kubernetes operators on the hook to swap in a new ingress controller. The migration path? Run both old and new in parallel. Use DNS cutover. Point explicitly with Ingress classes. Done right, the switchover hits zero dow.. read more  

SkyPilot drops a clean interface that blendsSlurmwithKubernetes. AI/ML teams get to keep their Slurm-style comforts - job scripts, gang scheduling, GPU guarantees, interactive workflows - but pick up Kubernetes perks like container isolation and rich ecosystem hooks. It handles the messy bits: pods,.. read more  

Kubernetes SIG Architecture’s API Governance crew is tightening the screws on stability, consistency, and cross-cutting sanity across the whole API surface. Not just REST. They’re eyeing the overlooked stuff too - CLI flags, config formats, anything that shapes how users and tools touch the system. .. read more  

Running LLMs on Kubernetes opens up a new can of worms - stuff infra hardening won’t catch. You need a policy-smart gateway to vet inputs, lock down tool use, and whitelist models. No shortcuts. This post drops a reference gateway build usingmirrord(for fast, in-cluster tinkering) andCloudsmith(to t.. read more  

A graphics dev took a swing at encoding rendering signals - radiance, irradiance, depth, AO, BRDFs - using tightMLPs in HLSL. They benchmarked size, storage, and runtime cost. Turns out, MLPs beatL2 spherical harmonicsfor packing radiance. But they stumble on irradiance and specular BRDFs. Bring inR.. read more  

A scrape of 18,470 Claude Code configs on GitHub shows a pattern: developers are handing their AI agents the keys to the castle. Unrestricted file, shell, and network accessis common. Among them: - 21.3% let Claude runcurl - 14.5% allowarbitrary Python execution - 19.7% give itgit pushprivileges Tha.. read more  

GPT-5.2 Pro spotted something wild: a nonzero gluon scattering amplitude in the half-collinear regime. That’s supposed to vanish, according to standard QFT gospel. Not anymore. OpenAI’s own model backed it up with a formal proof. Humans triple-checked it analytically. And yep - it holds. Now it’s bl.. read more
