Grokipedia, SpaceXAI's AI-powered competitor to Wikipedia, recently started incorporating edits again, and today, it got some design tweaks as part of a v0.3 update, including a new logo and refreshes to its homepage and live edits page. SpaceXAI head of design Benji Taylor calls it a "newly refreshed Grokipedia."Grokipedia's old homepage was pretty much just a logo and a search bar, but the updated homepage includes a list of featured articles, a list of the most-read articles, and a tracker showing the "latest edits." The new featured list showcases digital representations of books that you can spin around, and the most read section also …Read the full story at The Verge.

We're getting to the point where AI companies can no longer hand out LLMs to the general public. A year or two ago, we saw them push out new models all the time and watched users put them to work; these days, though, the models can be so powerful that they need extensive testing and guardrails before they're given to the public.

Modern home networks have reached a point where internet bandwidth is rarely the problem anymore. Most people have several hundred Mbps of total bandwidth, with 300Mbps as the median broadband speed in the US. So, if you still see your smart TV buffering your Netflix stream, blaming your ISP or plan speed doesn't help.

The X Fold 6 looks like foldables did three months ago. It's a quirk of the release calendar that when Vivo's X Fold 6 launched in China this June, it was just another foldable. Now that it's ready for its global release, the size and aspect ratio feel oddly old-fashioned.The X Fold 6 is much the same size as Vivo's previous foldables, and most other foldables that launched before both Apple and Samsung pivoted to a shorter, wider form factor with the Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo. The 6.51-inch cover display is in the standard smartphone 20:9 aspect ratio, opening to an almost square 8.02-inch panel. The crease is a little behind rivals, since it's quite visible, and the IP59 rating is good but not …Read the full story at The Verge.

Windows comes with an app for almost everything, but that doesn’t mean I have to use Microsoft’s defaults. Over time, I started replacing the built-in tools I used every day with open-source alternatives. I found replacements that felt lighter, offered more control, respected my preferences, and in some cases, packed in features Microsoft’s apps still lack.

Claude Code started out in the terminal, and it's still where most of the talk about it happens. Most of the guides out there assume you're sitting in front of a black window with a blinking cursor, all while the Code tab in the desktop app gets treated as the softer option for people who haven't made the jump yet. I think this is a pretty fair assessment in general since developers already live in the terminal, so a tool that meets them there makes sense.

I'll be honest with you: while everyone else is getting ready to dive into Final Fantasy XIV's upcoming expansion Evercold, I'm still stuck on the latter half of Endwalker. Part of the reason is that Final Fantasy XI has been taking up all my MMO time. What can I say? It still holds up even today.

The terminal is one of those things where people can do amazing things with it that you didn't know were even possible before. Such is the case with this open-source ESP32 project that turns your own terminal into a full desktop you can use your mouse on. Best of all, it's entirely free, so nothing is stopping you from putting it on your own microcontroller right now.

A24 pissed off one of the internet's largest horror communities when it announced it was working on an SCP Foundation film, but apparently hadn't bothered to contact the SCP Wiki team, nor did it commit to releasing it under a Creative Commons license as required. Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by announcing it's making its own SCP movie. But unlike A24, it proactively reached out to the SCP Foundation Wiki team and has pledged to release it under the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.This is not an "official" SCP film. None of the wiki's staff is involved in the writing or production, it is not receiving compensati …Read the full story at The Verge.

I've been using Docker for years. It's what enables my entire smart home stack and all the other software bits and bobs that I run. While I can manage Docker from the CLI just fine, a great graphical interface has become less of a luxury and more of an everyday convenience. It makes it easy to see what's running, restart a stack and check the logs.

Having spent years building, configuring, and disassembling multiple home servers, I’ve grown out of the misconception that cheap systems aren’t ideal for self-hosting tasks. That said, there are a handful of services where I prefer my expensive PCs. LLMs, especially bulky MoE models, are best run on a system armed with a powerful Nvidia graphics card and ample system RAM. Likewise, I prefer using a dedicated GPU with my Immich container, as it can drive the image manager’s machine learning tasks without tanking their performance.
