A 13th-century magical treatise promised to transmit all university knowledge through diagrams and prayers, without years of study. An essay from The Public Domain Review reconstructs its history, its condemnation by Thomas Aquinas, and its unexpected parallel with today’s promise of artificial intelligence.

ByteDance unveiled Seedance 2.5, its new video-with-audio generation model that doubles the maximum shot length to 30 seconds and adds multi-round extension, expanded multimodal referencing, and more precise editing. It’s already available on Jimeng AI and Doubao Pro, with API access announced for release soon through BytePlus ModelArk.

An open issue in the ripgrep repository documents a musl segfault that appears when searching trees with millions of files under high concurrency. The problem lives in mallocng, musl’s allocator, and has already been detected in the binary distributed by OpenAI Codex.

An interactive article from john.fun examines how the SCAN, LOOK, and Otis RSR elevator algorithms decide which cabin answers each call. The most striking finding: destination kiosks, despite having more information, tend to give worse wait times than traditional buttons.

Christian Selig, creator of the Apollo app for Reddit, built a homemade workflow to walk through the floor plan of his future house in Vision Pro. He combines Fusion 360, IKEA furniture, and 3D Warehouse, handling every format conversion between free tools and visionOS by hand.

Fast Retailing, Uniqlo’s parent company, cut the staff needed at one of its warehouses by 90% thanks to warehouse automation developed with Daifuku.

Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) is the linear attention component that Moonshot AI and Qwen3 use to process long context without softmax’s quadratic cost. It comes from a family that started with DeltaNet and went through Gated DeltaNet, adding increasingly fine control over what the model remembers.

A Google engineer implemented a Zstandard decompressor in Lean with formal proofs generated by an LLM, motivated by the historically steep cost of verifying software like seL4. The experiment explores whether artificial intelligence can make practical an approach that until now was territory reserved for a few teams with nearly unlimited budgets.
