🧠 The First Robot Powered by Human Brain Cells

Chinese scientists at Tianjin University have developed a humanoid robot with a brain made from human stem cells.

Using advanced brain-on-a-chip technology, the robot → learns and adapts to its surroundings through electrical signals, allowing it to perform tasks like gripping objects and avoiding obstacles without pre-programmed instructions.

This innovation not only opens the door for hybrid human-robot intelligence but also holds promise for future medical applications, including brain repair through organoid transplantation. Researchers believe this could be the future of brain-computer interfaces.

The standard library of Go 1.23 now includes the new unique package. The purpose behind this package is to enable the canonicalization of comparable values. In other words, this package lets you deduplicate values so that they point to a single, canonical, unique copy, while efficiently managing the canonical copies under the hood. You might be familiar with this concept already, called “interning”.

Let’s dive in to see how it works, and why it’s useful.

"Leaving Rust gamedev after 3 years":

https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/

This isn't meant to brag or indicate success, but rather just show there has been more than enough effort put into Rust, to dispel the the commonly said "once you gain enough experience it'll all make sense" argument.

Nix: Unsafe NAR unpacking

A bug in Nix 2.24 prior to 2.24.6 allows a substituter or malicious user to craft a NAR that, when unpacked by Nix, causes Nix to write to arbitrary file system locations to which the Nix process has access. This will be with root permissions when using the Nix daemon.

Fix
This issue is fixed in Nix 2.24.6.
