Why 1995 was the year the internet grew up

The internet wasn’t born whole—it came together from parts. Most know of ARPANET, the internet’s most famous precursor, but it was always limited strictly to government use. It was NSFNET that brought many networks together, and the internet that we use today is almost NSFNET itself.

Almost, but not quite: in 1995, the government that had raised the internet from its infancy gave it a firm shove out the door. Call it a graduation, or a coming of age. I think of it as the internet g

Marshall Emberton III Review

With the Emberton II, Marshall made a point of it being the Empire Strikes Back of portable speakers. That must mean the Emberton III is the Return of the Jedi – a fun trilogy closer that ends in a party with… Ewoks? Well, rather than Ewoks, you’re (more) likely to be gathering with friends [...]

SwitchBot Hub 3 Review

Most smart home hubs are designed to be squirrelled away in a cupboard, out of sight and rarely thought of. The SwitchBot Hub 3 is quite different, as it doubles up as a full-on controller for Switchbot, Matter and other devices, and it’s a full-on display for weather and local climate information. It’s a [...]

What is quantum computing? Here’s everything you need to know right now

Computing revolutions are surprisingly rare. Despite the extraordinary technological progress that separates the first general-purpose digital computer—1945’s ENIAC—from the smartphone in your pocket, both machines actually work the same fundamental way: by boiling down every task into a simple mathematical system of ones and zeros. For decades, so did every other computing device on the planet.

This IBM ThinkPad was astounding in 1995—and still is

Closed, it looks pretty much like any other laptop manufactured in 1995.

To be sure, it’s more compact than most—making it, in the parlance of the day, a subnotebook. But it’s still comically thick, standing almost as tall as four MacBook Airs stacked on each other. That height is required to accommodate multiple technologies later rendered obsolete by technological progress, such as a dial-up fax/modem, an infrared port, two PCMCIA expansion card slots, and a bulky connector for a

Show HN: CallFS – S3-style object store in one Go binary (MIT)

We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us.

So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?

The company has now provided a few tweaks and more clear delineations in its guidelines about channel monetization pol

Nahoru a zase dolů: Vědci zmapovali evoluci hladiny světového oceánu

Hladina moří se pohybuje, jak v dlouhodobém, tak i krátkodobém měřítku Od počátku prvohor se moře hýbe v rozmezí asi 300 metrů. Logika pohybů je přitom jednoduchá. Když je na planetě zima a voda zamrzá do ledu, mořská hladina jde dolů. Když je na planetě teplo a ledy roztají, moře stoupá. http://www.osel.cz/14159-nahoru-a-zase-dolu-vedci-zmapovali-evoluci-hladiny-svetoveho-oceanu.html

Context Rot: How increasing input tokens impacts LLM performance

I work on research at Chroma, and I just published our latest technical report on context rot.

TLDR: Model performance is non-uniform across context lengths, including state-of-the-art GPT-4.1, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, and Qwen3 models.

This highlights the need for context engineering. Whether relevant information is present in a model’s context is not all that matters; what matters more is how that information is presented.
