151. Rob Pike Goes Nuclear over GenAI
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

159. Show HN: Pion SCTP with RACK is 70% faster with 30% less latency
In the RACK profile, SCP sustained 316 Mbps using ~0.044 CPU seconds, compared to 234 Mbps at ~0.056 CPU seconds before RACK. When normalized for CPU usage, this corresponds to a ~71% improvement in throughput per CPU, while max-burst CPU profiles remain comparable.

Researchers develop a camera with spatially selective focusing, allowing the lens to focus on objects at many different distances at once.
167. Multiscale Aperture Synthesis Imager
Synthetic aperture imaging has enabled breakthrough observations from radar to astronomy. However, optical implementation remains challenging due to stringent wavefield synchronization requirements among multiple receivers. Here we present the multiscale aperture synthesis imager (MASI), which utilizes parallelism to break complex optical challenges into tractable sub-problems. MASI employs a distributed array of coded sensors that operate independently yet coherently to surpass the diffraction limit of single receiver. It combines the propagated wavefields from individual sensors through a computational phase synchronization scheme, eliminating the need for overlapping measurement regions to establish phase coherence. Light diffraction in MASI naturally expands the imaging field, generating phase-contrast visualizations that are substantially larger than sensor dimensions. Without using lenses, MASI resolves sub-micron features at ultralong working distances and reconstructs 3D shapes over centimeter-scale fields. MASI transforms the intractable optical synchronization problem into a computational one, enabling practical deployment of scalable synthetic aperture systems at optical wavelengths. The authors create a distributed sensor array that achieves optical super-resolution without lenses, using computational synchronization to combine multiple sensors and expand imaging areas 16-fold beyond physical sensor dimensions.

179. Autonomously navigating the real world: lessons from the PG&E outage
At Waymo, our mission is to be the world’s most trusted driver. We know trust is built through consistent behavior over time—earned through every mile we drive and every interaction we have with the community. This past Saturday, as a widespread PG&E outage cut power to nearly one-third of San Francisco, our service was put to the test. With power now restored, we want to share an account of our operations during the outage and how we are evolving to better serve the city.
