Google is reportedly planning to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the AI safety company behind Claude, in what would be one of the largest AI investments ever made. The deal massively deepens Google's strategic ties to a key OpenAI competitor and underscores the staggering scale of capital flowing into frontier AI development.
LamBench evaluates large language models across 120 algorithmic and data structure tasks, measuring both accuracy and execution speed. Models including GPT-5.4, Anthropic Opus, and Google Gemini are ranked, with top performers hitting roughly 92% accuracy while weaker models fall below 50%. The benchmark exposes significant gaps in AI reasoning across different problem categories.

Blocking approval is reserved only for issues that truly require changes before merge.
Jeff Geerling reviews a new generation of 10 Gigabit Ethernet USB adapters that are significantly smaller, run cooler, and cost less than their predecessors. These improvements make high-speed networking far more accessible for home labs, small offices, and anyone who needs fast wired connectivity without a PCIe slot.
Explores the resurgence of plain text diagramming tools like Mockdown, Wiretext, and Monodraw that revive 1970s-80s ASCII-based design with modern capabilities. The author argues these tools demonstrate the power of creative constraints and the enduring utility of monospace text as both a portable file format and intuitive interface medium.
A technical deep-dive on properly implementing FPS counters in games, recommending a rolling window of frame timestamps within a fixed time period rather than naive frame-time measurements or fixed-count averages. This approach yields stable, accurate performance readings that reflect actual recent performance trends without the inconsistencies of simpler methods.
A creative project recreating Hokusai's "36 Views of Mount Fuji" as 1-bit pixel art on vintage Macintosh computers using classic software like Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 at the original 512x342 resolution. The project is a love letter to early Mac aesthetics and Susan Kare's iconic design work, combining nostalgia with genuine artistic craftsmanship.
Martin Galway has released the original assembly language source code for his iconic Commodore 64 game music, including titles like Wizball and Athena.
