Knowledge grows when you ask stupid questions. Stupidity grows when you don't ask anything.

Researchers from IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru have solved a chemistry puzzle that remained unanswered for over 70 years.

As reported in The Indian Express, the team led by Prof. Sundargopal Ghosh and Stutee Mohapatra from the Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras, along with Prof. Eluvathingal Jemmis from IISc Bengaluru, has synthesised a carbon-free molecule that mimics the iconic ‘sandwich’ structure of ferrocene.

Using osmium and boron-based rings instead of carbon, the breakthrough marks the first stable carbon-free version of the molecule — something scientists worldwide had long attempted to achieve.

Published in the prestigious journal Science (https://t.co/zqkL1CSqz6), the discovery could open new pathways for designing advanced materials with unique chemical and structural properties.

A Rust dev just killed Headless Chrome.

It's called Obscura. The open-source headless browser purpose-built for AI agents and scrapers at scale.

Chrome vs Obscura:

- Memory: 200MB+ → 30MB
- Binary: 300MB+ → 70MB
- Page load: 500ms → 85ms
- Startup: 2s → Instant
- Anti-detect: None → Built-in

Single binary. No Node, no Chrome, no dependencies.

Stealth mode is brutal:

→ Per-session fingerprint randomization (GPU, canvas, audio, battery)
→ 3,520 tracker domains blocked by default
→ navigator.webdriver masked to match real Chrome
→ Native function masking so detectors can't sniff it out

Drop-in replacement for Puppeteer and Playwright over CDP. Zero code changes.

If you run agents or serious scraping at scale, this repo prints money.

100% Opensource.

Opus 4.7 just wrote a custom WebGPU kernel that runs Qwen3.5 up to 13x faster using a fused LinearAttention op! 🤯

Agentic kernel optimization is the future. Now live in 🤗 Transformers.js v4.2.0!

P.S. I've updated all our previous demos to use this new version. Enjoy!

This is either brilliant or scary:

Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA.

BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs!

he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap.

if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked.

average score across all jobs is 5.3/10.
software devs: 8-9.
roofers: 0-1.
medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀

Your brain doesn't store knowledge. It stores experience.
