Linear Adds LaTeX Math Blocks

Linear added LaTeX math blocks to its editor, available through the `/math` slash command for formulas, equations, and mathematical notation. The update gives engineering and ML teams a cleaner way to keep technical context alongside projects and issues.

// ANALYSIS

This is a small but meaningful polish move toward making Linear a serious technical workspace, not just an issue tracker.

–Native LaTeX is clearer and more maintainable than screenshots or plain-text equations
–ML and data teams can document formulas directly beside implementation tasks
–The `/math` command keeps equation entry consistent with Linear’s keyboard-first workflow
–It improves presentation, but does not turn Linear into a computational notebook
–Rendering, copy-paste fidelity, and accessibility will determine how useful it is day to day

System One Models Lose Reranking Test

A controlled arXiv study finds dedicated reranker fine-tuning consistently beats decision-model fine-tuning across six Qwen backbones and ten retrieval benchmarks. The advantage reaches 5–29 nDCG@10 points up to 9B parameters, while both approaches tie at 27B.

Orca Adds PTY Resource Manager

Orca’s new PTY manager shows which agents and shells are consuming pseudo-terminal slots and lets developers end selected sessions. The feature addresses macOS’s system-wide PTY ceiling, which can otherwise prevent every terminal from opening.

chesshacker turns Meta glasses into cheat engine

chesshacker routes a Meta glasses WhatsApp call through a Mac, uses vision AI to read board changes, then asks Stockfish for the best move and speaks it back through the glasses. The open codebase is clever systems glue—not a 3,000+ Elo model inside the frames—and live-call testing remains pending; project page: https://www.reverse.dev/pjchess.
