RSS is an open format that websites use to publish their latest articles as a machine-readable list. Instead of visiting ten sites, a reader app (Feedly, Inoreader, Thunderbird, Outlook …) or a site like this one collects them for you. Hypervision reads the RSS feeds of the sources below — and publishes its own feed of SI Index milestones.
