Zafena ICT has released #DirectBT an API to talk to #Bluetooth #BLE chip directly using the HCI L2CAP API. A continuation of Intel's TinyB for C++ and Java project with focus on embedded #Linux. DirectBT allow BT use without the bluez bluetoothd. ict.zafena.se/cgit/direct_bt…

The Hermes Agent Hackathon has ended! Finalists were selected by Nous staff out of 187 submissions on creativity, usefulness, and presentation. We were blown away by the quality and range of what people built using Hermes - thank you to all who participated. Winners below ↓

CHUCK NORRIS MEME THREAD TO END ALL MEME THREADS Let's honor one of the GOAT's by dropping your BEST Memes and Chuck Norris jokes! 👇👇👇

So many of these, but this one is a classic Chuck Norris joke. 🐅 #RIPChuckNorris

I'm very excited to announce QRI's Jhana Visualization Competition 2026 (the first of many?) See link for details :-) (gif made with a tool prototyped by @VisionSymmetric - more to come...)

Testing off-axis projection demo. Basic scene layout in Blender glb -> detailed splat via World Labs Three.js for engine MediaPipe for face tracking Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

Livestreaming 5-MeO-DMT this weekend… what should I expect?

this guy has 29 models on huggingface at page 2 ranking. no lab behind him. no sponsorship. $2,000 from his own pocket on GPU rentals. he compressed GLM-4.7 to run on a MacBook and quantized Nemotron Super the week it dropped. all public. all free. nvidia is a trillion dollar company with hundreds of teams but they are not the ones quantizing models middle of the night and pushing them out before sunrise. if nvidia stopped tomorrow their employees stop working. people like @0xSero would not. that is the difference between a paycheck and a mission. @NVIDIAAI you talk about making AI accessible. the people actually doing it are right here. 29 models deep burning their own compute with no ask except more hardware to keep going. you do not need to build another program. just look at who is already building for you. one GPU to this man would produce more public value than a hundred internal sprints. i am not asking for charity. i am asking you to invest in someone who already proved it.

All God’s children have microtubules, including single cell organisms for which they sense, move, learn and encode memory. Associative learning also needs reward, something that feels or tastes good, something involving consciousness. We can’t understand consciousness with complex brain networks so how do we know qualia aren’t Funda-mental everywhere at tiny fast scales, accessible through quantum brain biology. Roger Penrose suggested that in 1989. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35782391/

🚨Breaking: Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free. Here's exactly what it changes: → Every keyboard shortcut mapped to match Adobe's official Photoshop layout → Tools reorganized to match the Photoshop panel positions you already know → Canvas space maximized -- same default workspace as Photoshop → Custom splash screen and app icon so it feels like a real product → Pre-defined canvas templates matching Photoshop defaults → Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux -- installs in under a minute Here's the wildest part: Adobe Photoshop costs $600/year. GIMP is free. PhotoGIMP makes it feel like Photoshop. The only reason most designers don't switch is muscle memory every shortcut is in a different place and it feels wrong from the first click. This patch fixes that entirely. Ctrl+Z undo. Ctrl+J duplicate layer. Ctrl+T transform. All of it. Download a zip. Extract to your home folder. Done. 6.7K GitHub stars. Works with GIMP 3.0+. 100% Open Source. GPL-3.0 License. (Link in the comments)

🚨 Holy shit...A developer on GitHub just built a full development methodology for AI coding agents and it has 40.9K stars on GitHub. It's called Superpowers, and it completely changes how your AI agent writes code. Right now, most people fire up Claude Code or Codex and just… let it go. The agent guesses what you want, writes code before understanding the problem, skips tests, and produces spaghetti you have to babysit. Superpowers fixes all of that. Here's what happens when you install it: → Before writing a single line, the agent stops and brainstorms with you. It asks what you're actually trying to build, refines the spec through questions, and shows it to you in chunks short enough to read. → Once you approve the design, it creates an implementation plan so detailed that "an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste and no judgement" could follow it. → Then it launches subagent-driven development. Fresh subagents per task. Two-stage code review after each one (spec compliance, then code quality). The agent can run autonomously for hours without deviating from your plan. → It enforces true test-driven development. Write failing test → watch it fail → write minimal code → watch it pass → commit. It literally deletes code written before tests. → When tasks are done, it verifies everything, presents options (merge, PR, keep, discard), and cleans up. The philosophy is brutal: systematic over ad-hoc. Evidence over claims. Complexity reduction. Verify before declaring success. Works with Claude Code (plugin install), Codex, and OpenCode. This isn't a prompt template. It's an entire operating system for how AI agents should build software. 100% Opensource. MIT License.

1/4 LLMs solve research grade math problems but struggle with basic calculations. We bridge this gap by turning them to computers. We built a computer INSIDE a transformer that can run programs for millions of steps in seconds solving even the hardest Sudokus with 100% accuracy

It's now possible to include #Lottie animations, a popular vector graphics animation format, into #JavaFX applications. To try this, check out the new library #Lottie4J.

This paper shows purportedly toxic tau and alpha synuclein proteins are whisked away and cleared by tubulin, component protein of microtubules. Don’t these people realize tau and alphasynuclein are microtubule-associated proteins? That they are normally attached to microtubules, and that tau binding signals motor proteins in synaptic plasticity? They mention microtubule levels are low in Alzheimer’s. Don’t they realize tau and alphasynuclein are free and clumping because they’ve been dislodged from disassembled microtubules? Don’t they realize the problem in Alzheimer’s isn’t amyloid plaques or toxic tau or alpha synuclein? IT’S THE MICROTUBULES FALLING APART, STUPID!!! #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-t…
