Vue Composables: The Shared State Trap (+ Cheat Sheet)

You build a useCounter() composable, drop <Counter /> on the page twice, and click the first button. Both counters go up. You didn't copy-paste a bug. You wrote twelve lines of completely ordinary-looking Composition API code, and Vue executed every one of them correctly. The surprise isn't a Vue bug — it's a gap in your mental model of what a composable actually is , and that gap is exactly where a much more expensive version of this same mistake lives: on a server, where "the oth...

I built a browser extension to show pixel diffs in GitHub PRs

I've been using AI to write more code, which has also meant writing more tests—including screenshot tests to catch unexpected UI changes. That leaves me reviewing two things: the code in GitHub and the visual diff in a Playwright report. I kept switching between them to answer a small question: did that button move, or did its padding change by a couple of pixels? GitHub's side-by-side, swipe, and opacity views help compare images. What I wanted was explicit pixel highlighting, especially ...

48-Hour Field Notes: curl Looked Instant. Python Paid a Handshake on Every Call.

I spent forty-eight hours arguing with an API that was not actually slow on the wire. My Python probe kept printing extra delay, while a single curl call still looked almost instant. Have you ever trusted a client-side timer and then shipped a performance scare that never existed upstream? The disagreement showed up during a quiet check, not during an incident bridge or a customer ticket. I had a tiny loop hitting the same health URL and printing elapsed time after every response. curl made t...

goto's underrated

goto is absolutely underrated. it isn't inherently bad. like any control-flow tool, it depends on how exactly you'd use it. proper usage: gotoif (error!=0) {do_cleanup} // complete_operation label do_cleanup sys.unlock_file(descriptor) sys.free(buffer) return this is pretty simple: if something goes wrong, go clean up. messed-up usage: @label b goto a @label c goto b @label a goto c // a forever do-nothing loop this is technically valid, but...

Google Search Live Gets Gemini 3.8 Live for More Natural AI Conversations

Google has expanded its AI-enabled Search Live experience with Gemini 3.8 Live , a new model designed for voice-based dialogue with near real-time reasoning, visual context and language switching. The rollout makes Search Live a more conversational part of Google Search, rather than a tool built only around typed queries and static result pages.

Show HN: InstinctFlash – Run 5B world-action models in real time on Jetson Thor

Hey HN, Guanming here, cofounder of General Instinct. We just released InstinctFlash, a high-performance serving framework for robotics models. It’s licensed under AGPL-3.0. On Jetson Thor, we see speedups about 1.2x to 7.9x from runtime optimizations alone and up to 33.78x for LingBot-VA when we combine those runtime optimizations with a distilled few-step diffusion scheduler, going from the original 25 visual / 50 action steps to 2 / 4 steps. Across 50 Robotwin2.0 tasks, we evaluated 1,153 epi...

Show HN: AI·rete·RAG – a Rete rule engine decides, RAG explains why

Hi HN, I built ai·rete·rag because I kept seeing teams put an LLM in charge of decisions that need to be auditable (lending, fraud, clinical triage), then bolt on "guardrails" after the fact. It runs the two in series instead: 1. A pure-Python Rete engine evaluates YAML rules against your facts. The verdict comes only from here. Same facts, same verdict, every time, with salience-based conflict resolution. 2. RAG retrieves passages from your own policy documents, and an LLM writes a plain-Englis...
