For main public: new open-source software isn't recommendable for everyone. It's wise to treat it as experimental for some months until it was peer reviewed and patched several times. We don't push new os programs to production environments without being sure they are stable. 🫶

BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet. It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world. Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds. You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded. Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together. And the archive gets insanely specific. You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands. There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born. sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk

Come to our #SIGGRAPH2026 talk today: Our method turns existing 3D objects into multi-touch sensors, without modifying the interior. From a scan, we sample surface-intrinsic curves that conform to mutual-cap layouts, and optimize their intersections for coverage & fabrication.

Brooklyn-based minimalist phone maker Light has announced the Light Flip, a distraction-free flip phone with no social media apps, no touchscreen, and no endless scroll. The device combines the form factor of a classic flip phone with Light's minimalist interface — white text on black, a list of tools, nothing more. Instead of a touchscreen, the Light Flip features a 12-button T9-style keypad, three function buttons, a four-way directional pad, and a side-mounted home button. There's no external screen when closed, just a notification light. The back houses a 50-megapixel camera and a removable battery behind a screw-down plate. It comes in six colors and is made of plastic rather than the aluminum used in the Light Phone III. Light is bundling the phone with a service plan for the first time: $39 per month for two years covers the device plus unlimited voice, text, and 1GB of data. A third-party SDK allowing developers to build tools for the phone is expected to launch in fall 2026. The Light Flip ships in April 2027 and is available for pre-order now. #LightPhone #MinimalistTech #FlipPhone #DigitalWellbeing #TechNews

Now you can dictate right from your Apple Watch into any app on iPhone and Mac. No extra microphones. No rings. No new hardware. Just private voice typing with the mic already on your wrist.

Always, try to read the model's thinking. A lot of problems with AI can be fixed by seeing how the model is thinking.

In 1972 kids were writing code to move a robot turtle across a floor. Home computers didn't exist yet. The man who let them do it studied under Piaget. Seymour Papert, MIT. He co-founded the AI Lab with Marvin Minsky, then spent his life on a different question: what should children do with computers. His answer was a language called LOGO and a small robot called the turtle. A child types a command, the turtle moves and draws. Type a wrong number, the shape comes out wrong, and the child sees exactly why. Papert's point cut against school. Don't use computers to drill facts into kids. Let kids program the computer, so they learn how to think about their own thinking. He watched children debug their code and argued that debugging, not being right the first time, was the real skill. This was decades before every classroom had a screen. The films of the turtle on the floor sit free on YouTube. He handed kids the controls in 1972. Most schools still hand them worksheets.

Technology Did That We take it completely for granted. Turn a tap and safe water flows. Flush a toilet and waste vanishes hygienically. Trash disappears on schedule. Daily showers or baths are routine. These mundane acts of civilization feel like background noise—basic infrastructure, not medical miracles. Yet historical evidence shows they did far more to slash disease, slash infant and child mortality, and extend human life in the 19th and early 20th centuries than the era’s celebrated medical breakthroughs: vaccines (beyond smallpox), antisepsis in its early forms, anesthesia, or the first glimmers of germ theory. John Snow’s famous dot map of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak. Black bars mark deaths; the cluster around the Broad Street pump (center) is unmistakable. This visual evidence helped prove waterborne transmission.

Technical leverage today looks less like “building from scratch” and more like organizing ambiguity into systems.

25 years ago this month, Google introduced its Image Search feature, now widely known as Google Images. — The search engine was launched in July 2001 due to demand for pictures of @jlo in her green Versace dress at the 2000 GRAMMYs, an iconic moment that inspired its creation.

I don't doubt that VR will be a big thing and there will be real-experience influencers. But, it sounds like Ready Player One and Plato's Cave at the same time.

Samo Burja on why the space most people will explore is virtual, and why real-world experience becomes the ultimate status symbol: "There's an argument that a generated experience catered to you by AI, not even other human beings, we're gonna start critiquing slop worlds. Oh, how long have you been spending in slop worlds?" "Interacting with your generated AI, and then going into a virtual space with another human, is gonna be seen as such a more badass move." "Going into a physical space with either a remotely controlled robot body or personally, I think that's gonna be high status." "After we have a universal basic utopia, 99% of humanity will be happy with that, and the 1% that is not, those are gonna be the celebrities, the people others tune into." @SamoBurja

Solar panels and data centers will be in the space at least.
Rokko@0xRokko

Ilya Sutskever, the researcher who trained the AI behind ChatGPT, now building Safe Superintelligence: "The future is going to be good for the AI regardless. It would be nice if it were good for humans as well." Sit with how calmly he says it. Not a warning shouted from the outside, a forecast from the man who helped build the thing. And his reasoning is exactly what everyone keeps getting wrong. He does not think it will hate us. He said it plainly: "It's not that it's going to actively hate humans." His analogy was animals. We do not hate them. We even love them. But when we decide to build a highway between two cities, "we are not asking the animals for permission. We just do it because it's important for us." That is the entire fear in one image. Not malice. Indifference from something too powerful to notice us. The frightening variable was never the intelligence. It was the aim. I wrote the full story: the one fear about AI everyone gets wrong, and the one already here.
