Where are AI’s scientific breakthroughs? It’s been three years since ChatGPT’s release, and still no headlines about AI discovering new particles or curing diseases. When AI does help science, it's not the kind Sam Altman and co. are shilling. https://www.

Read something about the Anthropic house philosopher stating that we still don't know if "AI" can feel and got pissed off about that level of drivel only to realize that she said it on the Hard Fork Podcast of course.
This is so "tech discourse in 2026" that I don't even know how to respond or react.

Manipulation of the orbital angular momentum of soft x-ray beams by consecutive diffractive optics

https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.17768 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.17768 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.17768
arXiv:2511.17768v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Production and manipulation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) of coherent soft x-ray beams is demonstrated utilizing consecutive diffractive optics. OAM addition is observed upon passing the beam through consecutive fork gratings. The OAM of the beam was found to be decoupled from its spin angular momentum (SAM). Practical implementation of angular momentum control by consecutive devices in the x-ray regime opens new experimental opportunities, such as direct measurement of OAM beams without resorting to phase sensitive techniques, including holography. OAM analyzers utilizing fork gratings can be used to characterize the beams produced by synchrotron and free electron lasers sources; they can also be used in scattering experiments.

Vi har været til et lidt forkŸlet, men alligevel hyggeligt Advent Ökomarkt på Kollwitzplatz her til formiddag, og spottede en ramen-restaurant på vejen. Så vi er blevet i det asiatiske tema hvad maden angår (vietnamesisk fŸrste aften, koreansk i går, og nu japansk).
Vi fik bl.a. wagyu gyoza og virkelig velsmagende ramen. Ren luksus!

A modern coreutils fork that replaces the obsolete "no" answer with "maybe later". And loops until you give up.

Tennessee just turned exhausted farmland into something remarkable. Middle Fork Bottoms State Park now teems with wildlife and draws 15,000 visitors monthly.
The secret? Letting floodplains do what they do best—control floods, filter water, recharge groundwater naturally.
It's becoming a model for climate solutions across neighboring states.
Morsewalker has an Attempts column in the results table, but how many attempts it reasonably takes to copy a call sign depends in part on how big the pileup is. And copying a call sign on the first try is more satisfying if I do it out of a pileup. So I added a new feature to my fork that prints out how many stations were in the pileup after how many attempts it took.

If you've ever stopped to wonder how painful it would be to accidentally shove a fork up under a fingernail...

Or just use a solid rectangle selection tool and DELETE whatever you want to redact.
I’ve never understood how people can be so terrible at redacting pixel-based images. PDFs can be a special case (hint: redact, then Print as PDF)

Ugh. I just finished moving 1.7TB of data from Google to Filen using Filen’s rclone fork. Some of it went fine, but a few files I tried to open failed to do so. Now I doubt the integrity of every file.

It is super expensive but it really seems to be time to think about how to create and fund an entity that can fork Firefox while Mozilla does some weird AI pie in the sky shit.
For today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent here's a tiny tool we have used in our pipeline: pyRenamer is a simple app to rename/renumber a bunch of files.
Unfortunately it's pretty much an abandoned fork of a Python 2 app that has been abandoned for even longer ago. It still works and for renumbering there's no easier solution at hand. But for file name search & replace …

Sounds like this "W stands for wee" social media thing isn't even actually government run. Just some company trying to do a bluesky fork and gather a verified identified user-base for their own private ownership.
Contribute to their private ownership of a giant user database at your own peril I guess. I know I won't be.
Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.
