Many organizations have called employees back to offices following Covid-related lockdowns, but the Iran war and ensuing energy crisis may quickly see workers returning to work from home.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) - an energy watchdog established to help safeguard global power supplies following the 1970s oil crisis - is pushing for governments, businesses, and households to adopt recommendations that aim to curb energy demands amid supply disruptions triggered by the conflict. The list of ten suggested actions identified in the IEA's report includes encouraging people to work from home and/or drive slower to reduce fuel usage, …

He has completed his academic career by finishing his PhD, flying back to Germany with his dad, and preparing for his next educational pursuit. This time, he will be studying medical science with a focus on artificial intelligence and disease treatment. His current age is 15, but he is rushing to complete this degree due to different motivations than most people would expect. Unlike other prodigy types who tend to talk about their accomplishments as if they are bragging, Laurent Simons does not communicate in that manner at all. When describing what he is doing, Simons communicates with a more practical explanation that relies heavily on the engineering-type thinking process. He sees a problem that he wants to...

Claude Octopus
, c'est un plugin Claude Code qui fait bosser trois IA ensemble sur le même problème. Codex pour l'implémentation, Gemini pour la recherche, Claude pour la synthèse, le tout avec un seuil de qualité à 75% qui bloque ce qui n'est pas au niveau.
En gros, au lieu de faire confiance à un seul modèle GPT ou Gemini, vous en mettez trois en parallèle et le plugin ne valide que si les résultats des trois moteurs convergent suffisamment.

It’s no secret that Google really doesn’t like it that people are installing Android applications from any other source than the Play Store. Last year they proposed locking everyone into their official software repository by requiring all apps to be signed by verified developers, an identity which would be checked against a Google-maintained list. After a lot of pushback a so-called ‘advanced flow’ for installing even unsigned APKs would be implemented, and we now know how this process is supposed to work.
Instead of the old ‘allow installing from unknown sources’ toggle, you are now going to have to dig deep into the Developer Options, to tap the Allow Unverified Packages setting and confirm that...

We’re not exactly worried about Armageddon here at Hackaday, but should we end up facing the end of the world as we know it, having something to pass the time would be nice. That’s why we were intrigued by [Janus Cycle]’s latest video where he both plays and powers a Game Boy by candlelight.
You’ve probably figured out the trick already: he’s using a Peltier module as a thermoelectric generator. Candles, after all, release a lot more energy as heat than light, and all that high-quality heat is just begging to be put to use somehow. It’s hardly a new idea; [Janus] references space-age radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) in the video, but back in the day the Soviets had a thermoelectric...

In 2007, The Pirate Bay supported “OscarTorrents,” which aimed to be a pirates’ counterweight to Hollywood’s annual awards show. At the time, mass movie piracy was still a fringe activity, with no instant streaming options available. Nonetheless, more than 100,000 ‘pirates’ voted for their own movie favorites.
While the OscarTorrents project was a clear display of defiance, the outcome of the voting was rather mainstream. The Departed was crowned ‘Best Picture’ in the official Oscars ceremony, as well as in the pirate equivalent, and many of the other winners were also identical.

The Raspberry Pi line of single-board computers can be hooked up with a wide range of compatible cameras.

Camera boards with this sensor that suit the Raspberry Pi aren’t that easy to find, but there are designs out there that you can look up if you really want one. There are...

The test setup for the Battle Born LFP cycling. (Credit: Will Prowse, YouTube)
There has been quite a bit of news recently about the  Battle Born LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries and how they are dying in droves if not outright melting their plastic enclosures. Although the subsequent autopsies show molten plastic spacers on the bus bars and discolored metal in addition to very loose wiring, it can be educational to see exactly what is happening during repeated charge-discharge cycles at a fraction of the battery’s rated current. Thus [Will Prowse] recently sacrificed another Battle Born 75 Ah LFP battery to the Engineering QA Gods.

OpenAI is working on a desktop "superapp" that merges its ChatGPT app, the Codex AI coding app, and its AI-powered Atlas browser into one app, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Fragmentation "has been slowing us down and making it harder to hit the quality bar we want," Simo said.

For centuries, astronomers faced the challenge of classifying objects in space based on their appearance. When observing an object that is orbiting a star at a distance, they would often assume it must be a large planet. It could also be a brown dwarf, which is a type of cosmic object that has a mass larger than a planet but falls short of being able to ignite the process of nuclear fusion that produces energy for stars. Due to the similarity in age, brightness, temperature, and atmospheric chemical makeup between brown dwarfs and large planets, for many years identifying them was difficult. Now, a team of researchers from Northwestern University has found a method that allows for easier distinction between...

Sometimes the right tool for the right job appears almost out of nowhere. That was certainly the case for [Jonathan] who came across an unusual but well-designed robot at a secondhand shop. The robot needed a bit of work to get back into a usable condition, but after that it was ready for use. For such a unique machine, it needed a unique place to work as well, so in this build [Jonathan] uses it as a real robot to recreate a popular board game meant to teach programming to children.
In the original board game, called Robot Turtles, there are no actual robots. Instead, players use cards to control turtles to reach objectives in much the same way that a programmer would solve a similar problem with a computer....
