Overgrown, when plants invade your abandoned tabs

Hacker News | positive | Published: 11:52 Oct 22, 2026 (Eastern)

The author created a Chrome extension called Overgrown as a creative exercise inspired by the concept of abandoned buildings being overtaken by plants. The extension features a neglect clock for each browser tab that runs when the tab is out of view, causing virtual plants to grow over the tab. Once a tab is more than 5% overgrown, interaction with the page is blocked until the user slashes away the vines using tools like a machete, chainsaw, or flamethrower. The extension's code is divided into a background worker, a popup UI for settings and tab statistics, and an overlay component handling the visual animations, weapons, and sounds.

A Course Called Ireland review – why did Bill Murray ever agree to this Irish golf show?

Guardian | neutral | Subscription | Published: 18:00 Oct 25, 2026 (Eastern)

The Guardian reviews the new documentary series A Course Called Ireland, which features actor Bill Murray traveling and playing golf across Ireland. The review critiques the show's structure, including the use of an inexperienced local pensioner as a narrator and an intrusive soundtrack, while describing Murray as uncooperative with the producers and appearing reluctant to participate. Although the reviewer notes brief moments of charm and reflection regarding Murray's Irish heritage, the overall production is characterized as an irritating failure resulting from a celebrity who did not want to do what he was hired to do.

Accordion: Elastic-Depth Inference via Fixed-Prefix Layer Looping

arXiv CompSci CL | neutral | Published: 00:00 Oct 26, 2026 (Eastern)

Researchers introduce Accordion, a mixture-of-experts-based model utilizing fixed-prefix layer looping to support five different inference budgets through parameter reuse. The approach uses joint pretraining with budget sampling to optimize next-token prediction loss, and preserves these budgets during supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning using parameter-group merging and budget-matched multi-teacher on-policy distillation. Evaluations show that the Accordion-6B-A0.5B model improves task performance as inference depth increases, surpasses individual domain experts on corresponding task-and-budget averages, and maintains instruction-following capabilities across all budgets.

Watch the universe emerge from the dark ages, with Lumina

MIT Research General | neutral | Published: 00:00 Oct 26, 2026 (Eastern)

Physicists from MIT, Harvard University, and other institutions have developed Lumina, a high-resolution, large-volume computer simulation that models the early universe from the cosmic dark ages through the first 2 billion years of evolution. Published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the simulation spans 500 megaparsecs and tracks dark matter, gas, stars, and radiation, successfully capturing both hydrogen and helium re-ionization for the first time. Run on the Frontier supercomputer, Lumina combines refined code from the IllustrisTNG simulation with a radiation transport model to resolve details ranging from individual galaxies to massive cosmic structures. The research team is making the simulation data available to the scientific community to help compare theoretical models with observations from new and upcoming telescopes.
