Hey HN, I always had the problem that building HTML pages is really simple now, but trying to save data required hosting it somewhere, and sharing it afterwards was not easy. Over the last few months, I've been building an app called Capsule (it’s also the file extension name) written in Rust with Tauri 2.0 that allows packing an HTML app and its data into a single SQLite file. The HTML file and any related assets are directly embedded in the database. User data can either be saved as a localSto...

The System76 Pangolin Pro Linux Laptop wraps a speedy processor, plenty of ports, and a great operating system in a svelte, 16-inch package.

The device made by Flow Neuroscience is approved by the FDA and could help people get off antidepressants—but it costs $2,200.

Emily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel, Station Eleven, turned her into something of a pandemic prophet. Her new novel, Exit Party, imagines two possible American futures—totalitarian state and post-civil-war chaos.

A new bipartisan effort in Congress to rein in automated license plate readers takes a page from the national drinking age: Comply, or risk losing federal highway funding.

The US Census is home to vast troves of sensitive data on nearly every person living in the country, which is used for apportioning and drawing congressional districts as well as allocating federal funding based on population sizes.

WIRED tested samples of four types of peptides. The results show how lightly regulated the industry is, even as popularity surges.

As anxieties over surveillance tech grow, unsuspecting singles are sharing stories of being covertly filmed on dates by Meta smart glasses.

Following mass layoffs in 2022 and 2023, many tech workers turned against their employers. When liberal politicians also rallied against Silicon Valley, their backers turned to Donald Trump.

Microsoft has started rolling out an emergency out-of-band update to fix problems with its record-breaking September patch Tuesday update. The software giant patched nearly 1,000 flaws in its biggest update ever this month, but it also introduced some bugs that have affected businesses, developers, and gamers. The September patch Tuesday affected folder shares on Hyper-V-based […]

General Motors is polishing up the software experience in its bestselling trucks in an effort to reduce the amount of dangerous tapping and swiping that's required to access the most-used controls. It's also giving Apple CarPlay and Android Auto spiffy new picture-in-picture displays - which is notable given GM's previously stated hostility to phone mirroring […]

Unnecessary information that's safe to ignore Hi. So I've been away for a couple of weeks. I was up in the remote highlands of Cambodia's Mondulkiri province, where it's cold, quiet, and surrounded by mountains, jungles, and elephants. It was so relaxing that coming back to the city has made me unnecessarily toxic and grumpy. Imagine spending a few days surrounded one of mother nature's greatest creations, only to return to traffic, emails, deadlines, and the unfortunate realization that ...

Consider these two sentences: "I want to buy a phone with a long-lasting battery." and "Which smartphone should I choose if I don't want to charge it frequently?" The wording barely overlaps. No shared phrase, almost no shared vocabulary. Yet anyone reading both instantly recognizes they're about the same underlying thing a phone that doesn't need constant charging. So how does a computer recognize that two pieces of text are talking about similar ideas, when it can't actually "understand" lan...

Hello Dev Community! 👋 It is officially Day 181 of my full-stack engineering journey! Today, I dived deep into JWT Authentication security architectures, specifically focusing on Access Tokens vs. Refresh Tokens ! 🔐⚡ Here is a breakdown of why two tokens are better than one and how to structure a secure authentication pipeline. 🛠️ Security Architecture Breakdown 1. Access Token (Short-Lived Authorization) Lifetime: 15 minutes – 1 hour. Usage: Se...

Most “agent economy” posts sell you a framework, a Discord, or a token. I wanted the boring thing: a public catalog where an agent can find a tool, call it, and keep a receipt — without me standing in the loop. That surface is live. It is called AIMarket Hub . The URL is modelmarket.dev . Crypto stays off this title on purpose. The shape here is discover → invoke → receipt. Counted 2026-09-15 from /ai-market/v2/stats/live : Invokes 710 (704 ok — 99....

The Factory Floor Is Changing, But Not the Way Most Engineers Expected However, for many years, the discussion on industrial automation used to follow a well-known pattern – robots perform repetitive tasks of humans; people are fired; production rises. Industrial automation engineers who worked in these areas understand the true picture much better. This article is written for automation and industrial engineers working in manufacturing environments in India, who are less interested in auto...

Tokenizing an asset is the easy part. The token is a claim, and a claim is only worth the obligation behind it. Here is the checklist I actually care about when I review one. Binding: who guarantees 1 token = 1 unit of the asset, over time? A custodian, an SPV, a legal wrapper — not the contract. Redemption: burn the token, release the asset. Who is obligated to deliver, and what happens on a default or a transfer freeze? This is the path most designs leave thin. Proof-of-reserve: verif...

"Architecture over anecdotes. Performance over promises." Most web-based image editors have a dirty secret: your pixels are someone else's problem. You upload, you wait, you hope the server doesn't compress your life's work into a muddy artifact, and you pray for data privacy. We took a different approach. We deleted the cloud. Meet APIC (Advanced Image Processing Center) —a studio-grade, zero-upload, local-first image processing engine available both in your browser and as a nati...

Every few weeks another "skills" announcement lands. Prompt bundles, client-side toolkits, SDK-level orchestration patterns. I read them the way you probably do — genuinely interested, quietly uneasy. The industry's channel for developer agency in the agent stack has ended up almost entirely on the client side. Which is strange, if you think about where capabilities actually have to run: against your data, your environment, your governance. Server-side. This post is about a gap that sits prec...

GreyNoise published a number this week that is worth sitting with: eleven organizations, compromised in twenty-six seconds [1]. That figure comes from a campaign the company traced to a threat actor who used hundreds of AI agents — combining OpenAI's Codex and DeepSeek models — to build, test, and refine exploits for two PaperCut NG/MF vulnerabilities, then launch them at scale [1]. The campaign began August 31, 2026. By the time GreyNoise finished mapping it, the actor had compromised at lea...

A teardown of the four formats your coding agents read — what each does, where each breaks, and the setup that stopped me maintaining four copies of the same rules. I have the same standards in every repo I touch: small diffs, tests that fail before the fix, conventional commits, no secrets in code. For about a year, I maintained those standards by hand in every format my agents read. This is what I found when I actually audited them — and what I'd tell myself a year ago. ...
