Andreessen Backs a Startup Developing Tools That Coding Agents Use
Countless startups sell tools to software engineers, such as version control systems to track who’s making changes to a codebase, and sandboxes where code can be safely run and tested without affecting the main system.Now, a startup is building such tools for artificial intelligence agents that ...

Theory uncertainties of the irreducible background to VBF Higgs production
Higgs boson production through gluon fusion in association with two jets is an irreducible background to Higgs boson production through vector boson fusion, one of the most important channels for analyzing and understanding the Higgs boson properties at the Large Hadron Collider. Despite a range of available simulation tools, precise predictions for the corresponding final states are notoriously hard to achieve. Using state-of-the-art fixed-order calculations as the baseline for a comparison, w…

Remember the Photoshop competitor that didn't require a monthly subscription? #AffinityPhoto
You can no longer download/purchase their software and they are giving away the iPad version for free until the end of the month. And they are teasing something "big" coming up with a bunch of marketing-speak. Whenever a company talks about freedom, be weary.

Where is the Boundary: Multimodal Sensor Fusion Test Bench for Tissue Boundary Delineation
Robot-assisted neurological surgery is receiving growing interest due to the improved dexterity, precision, and control of surgical tools, which results in better patient outcomes. However, such systems often limit surgeons' natural sensory feedback, which is crucial in identifying tissues -- particularly in oncological procedures where distinguishing between healthy and tumorous tissue is vital. While imaging and force sensing have addressed the lack of sensory feedback, limited research has e…

Towards fully predictive gyrokinetic full-f simulations
Designing economical magnetic confinement fusion power plants motivates computational tools that can estimate plasma behavior from engineering parameters without direct reliance on experimental measurement of the plasma profiles. In this work, we present full-$f$ global gyrokinetic (GK) turbulence simulations of edge and scrape-off layer turbulence in tokamaks that use only magnetic geometry, heating power, and particle inventory as inputs. Unlike many modeling approaches that employ free param…

DualResearch: Entropy-Gated Dual-Graph Retrieval for Answer Reconstruction
The deep-research framework orchestrates external tools to perform complex, multi-step scientific reasoning that exceeds the native limits of a single large language model. However, it still suffers from context pollution, weak evidentiary support, and brittle execution paths. To address these issues, we propose DualResearch, a retrieval and fusion framework that matches the epistemic structure of tool-intensive reasoning by jointly modeling two complementary graphs: a breadth semantic graph th…

From a 2016 idea to national policy: using transparency to fix security, cut costs & boost control. Now also in Belgium — and measuring accessibility too. See how open data, cyber tokens & a few surprises at #WHY2025 make society safer (and some people nervous).

How we made the Netherlands more secure and accessible using transparency WHY2025
It started with a simple idea in 2016: make the state of security of our government transparent/public. The simple idea has become national government policy. Using transparency we've helped fix tons of security issues, reduce costs and increased control on IT. This year we've rolled out in Belgium and started measuring accessibility of websites in the same fashion. Learn how we've achieved extreme impact with a minimal budget and keep on doing so. Security and accessibility must be commodities.
