One-Time Passcodes: Worse Than Passwords?

2025-08-07

Many services use a flawed login method: sending a 6-digit code via email or phone. This is incredibly insecure. Attackers can easily create phishing sites to trick users into entering codes, stealing accounts. Password managers offer no protection. Microsoft's Minecraft login, using this method, has already suffered numerous account thefts. Stop using this insecure login system!

Claude Code IDE for Emacs: Seamless AI Integration for Your Workflow

The Claude Code IDE for Emacs provides native integration with the Claude Code CLI via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). More than just a terminal wrapper, it creates a bidirectional bridge between Claude and Emacs, allowing Claude to understand and leverage Emacs' powerful features—from LSP and project management to custom Elisp functions. This transforms Claude into a true Emacs-aware AI assistant working within your existing workflow and interacting with your entire Emacs ecosystem. Features include automatic project detection, session management, terminal integration, file operation tools, diagnostic integration (Flycheck and Flymake), advanced diff views, and tab bar support. Through MCP tool integration, Claude accesses and utilizes Emacs capabilities like LSP integration, Tree-sitter syntax tree analysis, Imenu symbol navigation, and project integration. Developers can also create custom MCP tools to extend Claude's functionality.

Baseten Achieves SOTA Performance on GPT-OSS-120B: A Race Against Time

As a launch partner for OpenAI's new open-source LLM, Baseten raced to optimize GPT-OSS-120B for peak performance on launch day. They leveraged their flexible inference stack, testing across TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, and SGLang, supporting both Hopper and Blackwell GPU architectures. Key optimizations included KV cache-aware routing and speculative decoding with Eagle. Prioritizing latency, they chose Tensor Parallelism and utilized the TensorRT-LLM MoE backend. The team rapidly addressed compatibility issues and continuously refined model configuration, contributing back to the open-source community. Future improvements will include speculative decoding for even faster inference.

My Secret Stash: Why I'm Hesitant to Share My Dotfiles

The author loves dotfiles – configuration files for software and operating systems – and enjoys sharing ideas and code. However, they're hesitant to publicly release their own extensive dotfiles repository, which includes configurations for zsh, tmux, neovim, vscode, a Homebrew package list, Stylus CSS rules, and is managed with GNU Stow. They feel their personalized customizations are too intimate to share, despite the coolness factor.

AirGradient ONE: A Small Company's Fight Against a Flawed Tech Review

AirGradient, a small company known for its open-source air quality monitor, the AirGradient ONE, found itself unfairly labeled "Not Recommended" by WIRED magazine due to a single hardware failure on the review unit. This, despite the device's recognition in rigorous scientific evaluations and its popularity among users. The founder argues the review lacked objective methodology, comparing inconsistent judgments across different monitors. The article calls for greater transparency and rigor in tech journalism, highlighting how flawed reviews harm both manufacturers and consumers who rely on them for accurate product information, especially in health-related areas like air quality monitoring.

Japan's New Law Challenges Apple's iOS Browser Monopoly

Japan's New Law Challenges Apple's iOS Browser Monopoly

Japan's newly enacted Smartphone Act prohibits Apple's long-standing ban on third-party browser engines on iOS, mandating that Apple allow browsers like Firefox and Chrome to use their own engines instead of forcing them to use WebKit. This legislation aims to foster browser competition on iOS and ensure web apps have access to the APIs and performance needed to compete with native apps. The act also requires fair access to functionally equivalent OS APIs and a choice screen for browsers promptly after first activation. While the act is expected to take effect by December 2025, enforcement is likely to be a lengthy and complex process.

LLM Inflation: Are Large Language Models Creating Redundant Information?

2025-08-06

Data compression was once a hallmark of computing, but now Large Language Models (LLMs) have introduced 'LLM inflation': people use LLMs to expand concise information into lengthy text, only to compress it back down using an LLM. This reflects an underlying communication issue: are we implicitly rewarding obfuscation and wasted time? LLMs may be helping us confront and solve this problem.

Closed-Form Solution for a Zigzag Number Spiral

2025-08-06

This article tackles a mathematical puzzle involving an infinite grid of numbers arranged in a spiral pattern that reverses direction at each grid edge. By analyzing patterns along the spiral's edges and diagonal, the author derives a closed-form expression, (f(m, n) = (max(m, n))^2 - max(m, n) + 1 + (-1)^{max(m, n)} (m - n)), to calculate the number at any position (m, n) in the grid. The article meticulously details the derivation, including analysis of edge and diagonal numbers, and the process of transforming a piecewise function into a single closed-form expression.

At EuroPython 2025, Python performance engineer Antonio Cuni debunked common misconceptions about Python's speed. He argued that Python's performance limitations stem not solely from its interpreted nature, but also from memory management overhead and dynamic features. While JIT compilers help, Cuni believes they can't fully solve the problem. He introduced SPy, a project aiming to enhance Python's performance without sacrificing compatibility by tweaking language semantics. SPy, available on GitHub, offers beginner-friendly issues for community contribution.

CSS Layouts: A Critical Analysis

2025-08-06

This article offers a critical analysis of CSS layout mechanisms. The author argues that CSS conflates rich text styling and the layout system, leading to inconsistent inheritance—text styles inherit, but layout properties don't. Nested inline-block and inline-flex models exemplify this conflict: internally they're block or flex, externally they're inline. The author proposes that an ideal layout system would decompose behavior into independent facets, offering a more flexible and intuitive API than the current subtractive one with extra containment barrier hints. Finally, the article touches upon the limitations of relative em scaling and improvements in pixel handling.

GAO Slams Federal Agencies for Cybersecurity Failures

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued scathing reports criticizing three federal agencies—the General Services Administration (GSA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—for their CIOs' failure to implement cybersecurity recommendations. DHS has 43 outstanding recommendations, seven prioritized by GAO; EPA has 11; and GSA has 4. Common failures include inadequate cybersecurity event logging and IT portfolio reviews. The EPA faces additional issues with cloud software management, lacking documentation and service level agreements. DHS's Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART) program remains plagued with problems, with all nine recommendations unimplemented. The GAO hopes newly appointed CIOs will address these shortcomings, and has brought the issues to Congress's attention.

A study in PNAS reveals a shocking pattern of misconduct at PLOS ONE. 45 editors, responsible for only 1.3% of published articles, were linked to over 30% of the journal's 702 retractions by early 2024. Twenty-five of these editors even authored retracted papers themselves. The research suggests a coordinated network potentially involving paper mills, highlighting systemic flaws in peer review. Specific editors, like Shahid Farooq (52 out of 79 edited papers retracted), demonstrate exceptionally high retraction rates. PLOS acknowledges the issue and states it has taken action, but the incident underscores the vulnerabilities of open-access journals to manipulation.
