This blog post presents a benchmark of long context Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities for OpenAI's o1 models and Google's Gemini 1.5 models. OpenAI's o1 models outperform other models on long context RAG benchmarks up to 128,000 tokens, while Google's Gemini 1.5 models maintain consistent performance at extremely long contexts up to 2 million tokens, albeit with lower overall accuracy.
This article compares the new WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL) with the established GLSL. WGSL seems to be the future of shaders on the web, especially with the upcoming release of WebGPU. It introduces new features like explicit types, struct declarations, and function declarations that follow Rust conventions, which allows it to be more robust overall.
Increased effort doesn't always lead to proportional results in complex systems. Adding more developers to a project or adding features to a product doesn't always lead to increased efficiency or user satisfaction. Instead, try new approaches and recognize that past successes may not guarantee future success. This can help move things forward in ways that combat diminishing returns.

The software code for Google DeepMind's AlphaFold3 is now publicly available for free for non-commercial applications. AlphaFold3 is capable of modeling proteins and other molecules. It was originally published without code or model weights, which drew criticism from scientists who said the move undermined reproducibility. Several other companies have also released open-source protein structure prediction tools based on AlphaFold3's specifications.
LG has unveiled a stretchable display that can expand up to 50% and freely transform into any shape. The display uses tiny micro-LED light sources and has a 100-pixel-per-inch resolution. It can be stretched more than 10,000 times. The technology, which opens up the possibility for entirely new types of interfaces, could be widely applied in industries such as fashion, wearables, and mobility. Pictures and a video of the display being stretched are available in the article.
SpaceX's Dragon reboosted the International Space Station (ISS) with a 12-minute, 30-second burn of the freighter's Draco thrusters. The burn adjusted the orbit of the ISS, proving that SpaceX's Dragon can be used in the same way as the Roscosmos Progress spacecraft and Northrop Grumman's Cygnus. The ISS requires regular reboosts to prevent it from tumbling back to Earth. It is expected to be retired in 2030, but there is a possibility the station's life will be extended a few more years.
Chinese battery researchers have developed two lithium-sulfur batteries, one that remains stable after 300 charge/discharge cycles and another that provides power after being cut in half or folded. The batteries' resilience is due to a unique cathode coating. Lithium-sulfur batteries have the potential to be cheaper than lithium-ion alternatives, but they can take hours to charge. The breakthrough could lead to safer batteries and make lithium-sulfur technology more mainstream.

Shipping is a different skill to writing code. Projects do not automatically ship - someone has to take up the difficult and delicate job of shipping them. It's important to have one person on the team who has an end-to-end understanding of the whole project. This article discusses what shipping is and how to do it properly. Shipping is hard - it has to be the top priority to be successful.
This article presents tips for finding and using undocumented APIs. GitHub's code search tool is a powerful way to look for potential endpoints. Parts of pages that load after the rest of the page or actions that don't cause a full page refresh are likely making requests to JSON APIs. All WordPress sites have a built-in REST API for accessing posts, pages, media, and more. Other tips include looking at the site's robots.txt file, searching Google, reading and debugging JavaScript, and looking through the site's mobile app.
Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high above $82,000. Recent political victories signal a favorable environment for cryptocurrency in the coming years. There is a strong chance for bitcoin to hit $100,000 by the end of the year if the rally continues. Breaking the all-time high is a key psychological indicator for a continued rally.
Google has hosted two different internal platforms for predictions over the past two decades. Prophit lasted for several years before it was shut down. Gleangen was launched a month after Google employees worldwide were sent home due to COVID-19. Prediction markets have been in the spotlight in recent months. This article looks at the story of Prophit and Gleangen, the two largest corporate prediction markets ever run, and sees what lessons can be learned from them.

The Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) architecture introduces a sparse multi-modal transformer that decouples parameters by modality (text, images, and speech), enabling efficient processing while maintaining performance quality. Across multiple evaluations, including the Chameleon 7B and Transfusion settings, MoT achieves comparable or better performance than dense baselines while using significantly fewer computational resources - as low as 37.2% of the FLOPs for speech processing and 47.2% of the wall-clock time for image generation.

Large Language Models (LLMs) with expanded context windows enable broader applications. New research across 17 leading LLMs reveals that while many models can effectively handle multiple concurrent information threads, their actual effective context limits are often shorter than their theoretical maximum context lengths. Many models exhibit "thread-safety" (handling multiple information threads simultaneously without performance degradation), though accuracy tends to decline as context windows expand toward their limits.
