- 1FreeSocks joins Octant's Epoch 13 quadratic funding round●FreeSocks is in Octant's Epoch 13 funding round! 🧦 It's quadratic funding, so how many people give matters more than how
FreeSocks, a project providing free, open source VPN access, is participating in Octant's Epoch 13 funding round. The round uses quadratic funding, meaning the number of individual donors matters more than the size of any single donation, so even small contributions unlock matching funds for the project.

Discussion has resurfaced around the Macintosh Quadra, Apple's family of high-end personal computers sold in the early 1990s before the Power Macintosh era. Posts link to the Wikipedia article describing the line, with vintage-computer enthusiasts sharing the reference under general computing and technology tags.
- 6Harvard's hidden student garden in Radcliffe Quadrangle draws attention▼From @fmcrimson: There are two versions of this story. The first is the garden you can see: a collection of 33 raised beds in the Radcliffe Quadrangle. It often escapes people’s notice, tucked away in a shaded corner of the Quad Lawn under a trio of oaks. Nomi
A garden of 33 raised beds sits in a shaded corner of the Quad Lawn in Harvard's Radcliffe Quadrangle, often overlooked by passersby. Writing in the Harvard Crimson, a student journalist describes it as having two versions: the visible garden and a deeper story behind it, drawing fresh interest to this tucked-away campus space.

A new paper posted on arXiv claims subquadratic algorithms for the 3SUM problem and subcubic algorithms for all-pairs shortest paths, two of the most studied problems in theoretical computer science. If verified, the results would mark a significant breakthrough on longstanding open questions in fine-grained complexity, and researchers are examining the proofs closely.

A new study suggests decaf coffee may carry a surprising advantage over regular caffeinated coffee, a finding picked up by ScienceAlert and widely shared. Commenters reacted with jokes referencing Star Trek: Voyager's coffee-loving Captain Janeway and the Delta Quadrant, asking whether one could survive that journey without caffeine while still enjoying the reported health benefits.

Isles Bun & Coffee in Uptown Minneapolis is being celebrated for its cinnamon buns, described by one food lover as the best 'in this quadrant of the galaxy'. The bakery remains a fixture of the neighborhood, with locals and visitors urging that no trip to Uptown is complete without a stop there for the long-running treat.
- 11New arXiv paper claims subquadratic 3SUM and subcubic APSP algorithms●Subquadratic 3SUM and Subcubic APSP Article URL: https:// arxiv.org/abs/2610.06783 Comments URL: https:// news.ycombinat
A new paper on arXiv reports progress on two landmark problems in theoretical computer science: 3SUM, where the authors claim a subquadratic-time algorithm, and all-pairs shortest paths (APSP), with a claimed subcubic-time algorithm. Both problems have long-standing conjectures asserting such speedups are impossible, so if the results hold up they would overturn widely believed hardness assumptions. The work is drawing early attention from algorithm researchers discussing its validity.
- 12New progress claimed on 3SUM and APSP problems●Subquadratic 3SUM and Subcubic APSP https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.06783 # HackerNews # Tech # Algorithms
A new paper on arXiv claims subquadratic algorithms for the 3SUM problem and subcubic algorithms for all-pairs shortest paths, two of the most studied open problems in theoretical computer science. If verified, the results would break long-standing barriers that many researchers believed were optimal, making the claim a major talking point among algorithm experts.
