Volvo XC40 PHEV is back with a new look, better sensors, and Gemini AI

It's been about three years since Volvo discontinued its plug-in hybrid XC40. The mild hybrid version remains on sale in the US and elsewhere, alongside the electric EX40. Today, Volvo announced it was bringing back the PHEV version and giving it a major facelift. When it arrives at dealerships early next year, the new XC40 […]

What Happens When an AI Agent Runs Longer Than Your HTTP Request?

A user clicks “Run agent” , your backend receives a normal HTTP request, and the agent starts doing what agents do: calling tools, reading documents, querying APIs, waiting for a human approval, retrying a flaky search, and generating a long report. Two minutes later, your load balancer returns 504 Gateway Timeout . The user sees an error. The agent, depending on where it is running, may still be alive. It may still be spending tokens. It may have already sent an email, created a tick...

Your HTML Is an API Surface: 7 Patterns That Make Web Apps Easier to Automate

Modern frontend development usually treats HTML as the final output of a much larger system. We think about: React components state management APIs design systems JavaScript bundles server rendering caching performance Then somewhere at the end, all of that becomes HTML. That makes it easy to think of markup as implementation detail. But consider everything that may need to understand your interface without looking at it the way a human does: screen readers browser auto...

AI Is Already Better at Coding Than Most Software Developers

...but let me say this right away: coding was never the most valuable part of software engineering. I remember when I was a junior software dev. Nothing came easily to me. Every feature felt like an uphill battle. I can't even count how many hours I spent digging through Stack Overflow. And then there was the stress of PR reviews, where I sometimes got absolutely roasted in the comments (rightfully so!) 😅 Eventually, things started getting better and better. Shipping features took me les...

AI scaled my work. But not my brain.

Over the last year, I noticed something about the way I work with AI. I get much more done, but I also feel much more tired. Not “I need some coffee” tired. I mean completely mentally drained at the end of the workday, especially by the end of the week. The strange part is that I am not working more hours. AI lets me do in one hour what could easily take half a day before. That hour is just much more intense than it used to be. A normal developer workday was never eight hours of no...

CampusLink: A Chat Server With No Internet Needed

This was the first project I've ever actually finished. Not a tutorial I followed along with, not a copy of something else — an actual thing I designed, broke, fixed, and shipped, in 72 hours, for the Hackathon Raptors Zero-Dependency Hackathon. The rule was simple to say and hard to live with: no external packages, no libraries, no shortcuts. Just the standard tools your programming language already gives you, and whatever you can build yourself on top of them. I built CampusLink — a chat ...

Building bayar.dev: Streaming AI Responses and Designing for Zero-Retention Boundaries

Hey DEV Community! I’m building bayar.dev , an early-stage software product company developing AI infrastructure, B2B workflow products, and multi-agent systems. The foundation starts with a simple goal: make AI applications feel immediate while keeping their data boundaries explicit. What’s live today The public chat endpoint at /api/chat is stateless and streams responses token by token using Server-Sent Events (SSE). The backend connects to Azure AI infrastructure thr...

Stop letting your AI design expensive, insecure AWS architectures

I've seen it happen dozens of times. A developer sits down with Claude or Cursor, asks for a scalable architecture to handle some new workload, and within ten minutes, the LLM has hallucinated a sprawling mess of EKS clusters, Kinesis streams, and Aurora Global Databases. On paper, it looks impressive. To a junior dev or even a mid-level engineer, it looks "cloud-native." But to anyone who has ever stared at a massive monthly AWS bill or sat through an incident response call caused by an IAM ...

Thin-Film Measurement Data: What to Check Before Building a Dashboard

Imagine a coating-line dashboard showing 1,200 nm for thirty seconds. The film might be consistent. Or the application might have stopped receiving measurements and kept the last value on screen. Looking at the number alone, you cannot tell. That is the software problem I want to focus on here: what needs to travel with a thin-film measurement so that an application can use it sensibly? I work on technical content for TDM Technology. Its thin-film thickness guide covers measurement co...

I Stopped Trusting the Headlines and Checked My Security App Against Real AI-Orchestrated Attacks

A Japanese, more code-heavy version of this is on Zenn . I build RoamSwitch , a solo-developed network security app for Mac and Linux. It locks down the firewall and shared services the instant you're on a network you haven't approved, and on Pro it adds things like emergency network isolation when it sees ransomware-like behavior, and DNS-layer blocking of phishing/C2 domains. For the last few releases I'd been building two fairly unglamorous features, a log auditor that flags frequenc...

Agentic Harness Engineering

Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly beyond simple prompt-based models. To truly leverage Al's potential for complex, real-time tasks, a new approach called Agentic Harnessing has emerged—enabling smarter, context-aware agents empowered by memory and external tools. In this post, we'll dive into what Agentic Harnessing is, why it matters, and the best open-source tools you can use right now to get started. Let's explore this transformative Al engineering approach together! ...

What Should an AI Agent Be Allowed to Do Without Asking You?

Your agent notices a failing deployment. It reads the logs, identifies the bad commit, drafts a rollback, and now wants to apply it. Should it just do it? If it asks for permission at every step, it becomes an expensive autocomplete. If it can do anything it can describe, it becomes a liability. The useful question is not “How smart is the agent?” It is: Which actions are safe to pre-authorize, which actions need explicit approval, and which actions should be impossible? That is ...

Show HN: Doogi – Explore multiple AI responses and conversation paths

Hello, Since I was disappointed with the linear way of interacting with AI, so I built a tool that lets you explore multiple responses and conversation paths. I’ve tried adding various handy features, and I’d like to hear your feedback. https://doogi.it . The interface is node-based, so it's currently optimized for desktop. :) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49638994 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
