The article discusses an issue with the NVIDIA open-source GPU kernel modules, where users are reporting kernel panics and other problems when using the latest Linux kernel versions. The article provides steps for users to work around the issue and suggests that NVIDIA is working to address the problem.

Microsoft has released an emergency out-of-band update (KB5078127) for Windows 11 to address issues affecting Outlook, including problems with the search function and crashes. The update is designed to resolve these Outlook-related bugs and improve the overall reliability of the operating system.

The article proposes a novel deep learning model for solving the challenging task of efficient and robust text-to-speech synthesis. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance on several standard benchmarks while requiring significantly fewer parameters and computational resources compared to previous approaches.

BonSplit is an open-source app that allows friends to easily split bills and track expenses. It simplifies the process of dividing costs and managing shared payments, making it a useful tool for groups and households.

This article discusses the development of a tool called AutoShorts, which automatically generates short video clips from long-form video content. The tool uses machine learning techniques to identify key moments and summarize the content, enabling efficient content repurposing and distribution.

The article reports that senior Iranian officials have stated that more than 30,000 people have been killed in the ongoing protests in Iran, which began in September 2022 following the death of Mahsa Amini. The protests have led to a violent crackdown by the Iranian government.

The article discusses the role and responsibility of intellectuals in a complex, changing world. It explores the challenges intellectuals face in navigating political and ideological divides while upholding the values of free inquiry and critical thinking.

I've long wanted to harness QEMU/KVM for my desktop virtual machines, but I'm befuddled by virt-manager's lack of support for working NVIDIA 3D acceleration, dogmatic embrace of ugly XML, and the puzzling UI decision of having to click what seems like 15 buttons to attach an ISO to a VM image. When I further learned that NVIDIA's broken 3D acceleration is the fault of libvirt as opposed to QEMU's virtio driver, I had an idea...

Behold, vm-curator! A fast and friendly VM management TUI written in Rust. You can create, configure, organize, and manage VMs directly with QEMU. No libvert. No XML. No wonky UI's. Just the right level of friendliness, customization, and speed to be really really useful.

The best part? 3D para-virtualization works with NVIDIA cards (via virtio-vga-gl!) No jumping through hoops to get GPU passthrough working!

(Disclaimer: This works great with other guest Linux VMs, but is not suitable for Windows gaming. If you want to game on Windows within a VM, passthrough is a must. vm-curator will have fast and friendly support soon.)

Looking for contributors (especially to help with the ascii art,) and donations are welcome. (Claude was a big help, but this was not a vibe-coded affair. We pair-programmed approx. 10,000 lines of code here. It was a great way to learn Rust, actually!)

New research shows that crews at sea are facing an overwhelming number of daily alerts, up to tens of thousands, which is undermining their ability to respond effectively and posing a significant safety risk at sea.

Author here. I made this little TUI program for managing default applications on the Linux desktop.

Maybe some of you will find it useful.

Happy to answer any questions.

TikTok is now officially U.S.-owned for American users, with the company's ownership shifting to Oracle and Walmart. This change aims to address national security concerns and bring the platform more in line with U.S. regulations.

The article discusses the concept of 'Ralph Wiggum loops' in programming, which are code constructs that appear to be nonsensical or inefficient but can actually serve a purpose. It explores how these loops can be used to create interesting and unexpected behaviors in software.

This article provides a hands-on review of two Apple Network Servers, exploring their features, performance, and suitability for different use cases. The author examines the servers' hardware specifications, software capabilities, and overall functionality, offering an in-depth, objective assessment.

The article draws a comparison between ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Brownshirts, the paramilitary group of the Nazi party, arguing that the Brownshirts were more identifiable than ICE agents who often operate in plain clothes and without clear identification.

The article discusses cases of American citizens who were subjected to deaths, detentions, or deportations during the second term of the Trump administration, highlighting concerns about due process and civil liberties.

Civil resistance refers to nonviolent forms of protest and noncooperation used to bring about social and political change. It encompasses a range of tactics such as strikes, boycotts, and demonstrations that aim to achieve political goals without the use of violence.

Hi HN,

I built *Sightline*, a Shodan-style search engine for *physical-world infrastructure*.

Shodan makes it easy to explore exposed internet services. Sightline applies the same idea to the real world, using OpenStreetMap as the data source.

You can search things like:

* “telecom towers in karnataka” * “power plants near mumbai” * “data centers in paris france”

or use structured queries:

* `type:telecom operator:airtel region:karnataka` * `type:data_center operator:google`

Sightline:

* uses Overpass API for querying OSM features * uses Nominatim for resolving countries, regions, and cities * avoids hardcoded geography * uses deterministic, rule-based parsing (no AI inference)

Hi HN,

I started a small newsletter to document what I’m learning while building projects — the decisions, mistakes, and experiments that usually stay behind the scenes.

It’s not a growth hack or a polished media thing. Just short write-ups about what worked, what didn’t, and how I’m thinking through problems as I go. I’ve only published a couple of posts so far, but it’s grown to 1,000+ readers, which surprised me.

Sharing here in case it’s useful to others who enjoy building in public or learning from real-world attempts rather than theory.

Happy to hear feedback or ideas on what would be most useful to write about next.

This article discusses the benefits and drawbacks of using humidifiers, including their role in maintaining healthy indoor air quality, the potential risks of overuse, and guidelines for proper humidifier maintenance and use.

The article compares the capabilities of PLECS and SPICE, two popular circuit simulation tools, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and suitable use cases. It provides a detailed analysis of the performance, ease of use, and feature set of each tool to help readers choose the most appropriate option for their circuit design needs.
