The Hubble Space Telescope has conducted a comprehensive survey of the Andromeda galaxy, revealing over 200 million stars, though the galaxy's total population is estimated at 1 trillion stars. This survey, combining data from the PHAT and PHAST programs, covers the entire disk of Andromeda and provides insights into its evolutionary history, which differs significantly from the Milky Way. Andromeda appears to have undergone recent star formation and interactions, possibly due to a past collision with another galaxy. These findings will aid future observations by the James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescopes.
An individual has created a raycasting display engine that runs entirely within bash, inspired by the techniques used in Wolfenstein 3D. This project explores the limits of bash for graphical applications, addressing challenges such as performance limitations and the lack of floating-point support. The project's development process and challenges are detailed, with code available on GitHub and a visual explanation on imgur.
"Shaw et al. (Ref. 1) have described a possible hardwar e computer,
called IPL-VI, which showed the important features such a machine should
have for its IPL-V instructions, but the input/output and arithmeti c instructions ar e not considered. However, with the arriva l of the presentday module concept of arithmeti c computer organization, a new possibility
arise s for the construction of an IPL-V hardwar e machine. To convert an
arithmetica l computer into an IPL-V system, it could be provided with a
second processo r which operate s with certain basic IPL-V "J" processe s
as its instruction set. The second processo r would require direc t access
to memory for its data and instructions in orde r to be able to operate at
as fast a speed as the memor y would allow. The instruction set of the sec -
ond processo r should be all the basic list operations. The remaining list
operations could be built up as routines from these basic operations. All
the arithmeti c and input/output processe s would be performed in the original arithmeti c processor, with the List Processo r taking car e of any necessary list "bookkeeping." The necessary data and addresse s would be
communicated between the two processors by prelegislation of memory
locations where the processors would find the relevant information when
requested to perform an operation. Thus, there would have to be some
means of transferring control back and forth between the two processors,
presumably some form of interrupt system"

"An IPL- hardware processor, Engine No. 2, has been added to the CDC-3600, thereby converting the system into the IPL-VC, an IPL- hardware computer. This paper presents a discussion of the completed system."

The author discusses the development of a function calling large language model (LLM) that significantly improves latency for agentic applications. This LLM matches or even exceeds the performance of other frontier LLMs. It is integrated into an open-source intelligent gateway for agentic applications, allowing developers to focus on more differentiated aspects of their projects. The model and the gateway are available on Hugging Face and GitHub, respectively.
The ELIZA chatbot, created in the 1960s by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT, has been painstakingly reconstructed from archived records and run for the first time in over half a century. This effort marks a significant step in preserving one of the earliest examples of artificial intelligence. Despite its rudimentary nature compared to modern AI, ELIZA's resurrection highlights its historical importance.
