    How Los Alamos used ENIAC for Monte Carlo bomb simulations●Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]YhnSportFootball504 min ago

    A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists turned ENIAC, one of the first electronic computers, to Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear weapons between 1947 and 1948. The work helped establish probabilistic computer modelling as a core method in physics and engineering. Readers are sharing the paper as a classic piece of early computing history.

    OpenID Foundation Publishes Identity Management Guidance for Agentic AI●Identity Management for Agentic AI [pdf] (2025)Yhn431 min ago

    The OpenID Foundation has released a 2025 white paper on identity management for agentic AI, addressing how autonomous AI agents should be authenticated, authorised and held accountable when acting on behalf of users. As AI systems increasingly take independent actions across services, existing identity frameworks built for human users and static applications are being strained. The paper proposes ways to distinguish agents from the people or organisations they act for.

    Open-source PDF parser handles layout, tables and formulas●Lightweight PDF parser with layout, tables, formulas and bounding boxesYhn181 min ago

    A new open-source tool called papero-pdf-text-extractor has been released on GitHub, offering lightweight PDF parsing that preserves layout structure, extracts tables and mathematical formulas, and returns bounding box coordinates. The project is drawing attention from developers who routinely struggle with the difficulty of extracting structured content from PDF files for use in data pipelines and document AI workflows.

    OpenID Foundation Publishes Guidance on Identity Management for Agentic AI●OpenID Foundation: Identity Management for Agentic AI [pdf] (2025)Yhn391 h ago

    The OpenID Foundation has released a 2025 white paper on identity management for agentic AI, addressing how autonomous software agents can be authenticated and authorized when acting on behalf of users. The paper examines the gaps existing identity standards like OAuth and OpenID Connect leave when AI agents, rather than people, initiate actions across services. Developers and security professionals are weighing how current identity infrastructure can adapt to machine-driven agents.
