Show HN: CUA-S1 – A System One Model for Computer Use

Hello HN! We're Dillon and Francesco from Cua. We were wondering how many computer use tasks actually need a full general purpose LLM (e.g. gpt-6-astra, claude-opus-5 etc.) to think through all their decisions and steps. Some tasks require thinking about a plan, exploring different paths, recovering from failure. Other tasks are a question of making local decisions, like this value should go in this box, or should I check this box, or this element should be ignored. We wondered how far we could ...

Trump treads further on free speech with new journalist bans

On Friday, the president threatened to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House. It could have just been another one of his Truth Social fever dreams, but it turns out it's very real. All three publications were turned away from the White House this morning, NPR reports, marking an escalation in the […]

This week in Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI (week of September 20, 2026)

Originally published at https://aicoding-guide.com . The headline this week is that Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md directly (v2.1.277). Until now you had to import it from a CLAUDE.md ; in a repository without one, it is simply read. Second: the 2.1.268 change this digest reported last week as a permission-bypass fix was reverted in 2.1.273 . If you relied on that behavior, it is back to what it was. Covered here: Claude Code 2.1.270 through 2.1.277, Codex CLI 0.155.0 and 0.155...

Logging Every tmux Pane

The tmux-logging plugin is a manual toggle. I wanted every pane logged from the moment it exists, in a file I can actually read. Written and tested on macOS (tmux 3.7c, BSD awk 20200816, zsh). The awk is plain POSIX, so it should carry to Linux, but I have not tested it there. 1. Install tpm and create the log directory git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm mkdir -p ~/.tmux/logs 2. Put this in ~/.tmux.conf Replace...

Svelte's runes are just React hooks wearing a Svelte hoodie

Svelte convinced me with a promise. You write let count = 0 , then modify that, and the UI updates magically. No need for hooks. No dependency arrays. No complex setup. That was the main idea behind it. After that, Svelte 5 introduced runes. And the magic left without us noticing. 🎒 What actually changed The release of Svelte 5 was announced on September 20, 2023, and was finally stabilized in late 2024. This version introduced a concept called runes: $state , $derived , and ...

Reading the Anthropic Threat Intelligence Report as a Defenders' Checklist, Not a News Cycle

Reading the Anthropic Threat Intelligence Report as a Defenders' Checklist, Not a News Cycle Opening Anthropic's September 2026 threat intelligence report, "Detecting and countering misuse of AI," describes campaigns its team disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026. The notable finding for defenders is not a new technique. The report states plainly that the intrusions it describes relied on stolen accounts and unpatched edge devices. What changed is tempo: single operato...

The story of morphing-scroll, my npm library

I want to tell you about my npm library — my second npm project, and the most complex one I've built so far. I won't dig deep into the code: this is the story of how and why it came to be. Introduction Around 2015 I landed my first job as a UI/UX designer. I drew interfaces for mobile and desktop apps in Sketch, which everyone used back then, on a Mac the company gave me, and I was genuinely happy about it. Things went well: I followed the iOS and Android guidelines, and w...

Cua: Open-Source Computer-Use Infrastructure & Drivers for AI Agents

The landscape of AI-assisted software development is undergoing a fundamental evolution. For the past two years, AI coding assistants have operated almost entirely inside terminal buffers and text editors. However, practical software engineering tasks frequently require interacting with graphical user interfaces: verifying layout behavior in browsers, inspecting spreadsheet data, configuring desktop virtualization tools, or triaging issues across native desktop applications. This e...

Entendiendo la desestructuración en Javascript

La desestructuración es simplemente tomar una estructura de información y “romperla” de tal manera que podamos hacer uso de cada pieza de forma individual. Si buscamos una analogía sencilla, la desestructuración es el equivalente a “desempacar” ciertos artículos personales de nuestra mochila de viaje. En este sentido, nuestra mochila toma la forma de un arreglo, objeto, cadena de caracteres o cualquier tipo de estructura que posea un comportamiento Iterable (en otra oportunidad hab...

anything2explainer Packages Remotion Explainers as an Agent Skill

anything2explainer packages a Claude Code and Codex skill that turns a topic, article or document into a narrated explainer video. Developers get a code-first production path: every frame is drawn with Remotion in React and TypeScript, rather than assembled from stock footage or produced by a generative video model, so individual shots remain editable as source code. The project targets a 1280×720, 30fps H.264 MP4 with synchronized voiceover, word-aligned subtitles, chapter cards, a top HUD ...
