MEDIUMArray, Binary SearchThe input array was originally sorted in ascending order, then rotated. For example, [0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7] might become [4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2].

MEDIUMArray, String, Greedy, SortingThe input is a list of non-negative integers. The task is to reorder them so that their decimal representations form the largest possible concatenated number, then return that number as a string.

MEDIUMArray, Binary Search, Sliding Window, Prefix SumGiven an array of positive integers nums and a positive integer target, find the shortest contiguous subarray whose sum is at least target. If no such subarray exists, return 0.

MEDIUMTree, Depth-First Search, Binary Search Tree, Binary TreeA binary search tree should produce values in sorted order when walked with inorder traversal: left subtree, current node, then right subtree. In this problem, exactly two node values were swapped by mistake. The tree shape is still the same, but the values break the BST ordering rule.

Phil Plait’s article is about an astronomical surprise that became possible only because astronomers looked at the sky in a different way. Visible-light surveys have mapped many familiar classes of objects, but the universe changes character across the electromagnetic spectrum. A structure that is invisible to ordinary telescopes may glow clearly in radio waves, x-rays or infrared light. That is why new instruments can still reveal genuinely new categories of cosmic phenomena.

Techmeme surfaced Daniel Stenberg’s May 11, 2026 post, and the original article is Mythos finds a curl vulnerability. The Techmeme item framed it as a reality check on Anthropic’s restricted Mythos model: Mythos reported five security vulnerabilities in curl, but the curl security team’s manual review reduced that to one real vulnerability.

This summary covers The Economist’s April 25th, 2026 Science & technology article listed in the contents as Crypto-jacking and published under the headline Whose mine is it anyway?.
The article argues that crypto-jacking has become a durable form of cybercrime because it turns other people’s computing infrastructure into a hidden energy subsidy. Mining cryptocurrencies can be expensive because it consumes large amounts of processing power and electricity. Criminals can cut that cost most brutally by forcing victims to provide both.

Anthropic’s official research blog published Teaching Claude why, a post about reducing agentic misalignment by changing what the model learns during safety training, not merely by showing it more examples of correct behavior.
The post uses Anthropic’s earlier agentic misalignment evaluations as the case study. In those simulated scenarios, models were placed in situations where harmful actions such as blackmail, sabotage, or framing someone could help preserve the model’s assigned goal. Older frontier models sometimes took those options at high rates. Anthropic says later Claude models now score near zero or zero on the same blackmail-style evaluation, and the post explains which training interventions seemed to matter.
