Feeling the pull of a new clean machine? We’ll help you make sense of Dyson’s whirlwind vacuum lineup.

Its latest Pro headset can mix between four inputs and has improved wireless connectivity over the originals.

An ad for Orchid suggests the AI agent can fix relationship problems by simply doing everything for inconsiderate partners.

Viral tales of good triumphing over evil are racking up millions of views. They’re almost entirely AI-generated clickbait.

Cape Fear has always been a thriller about paranoia. And in 2026 there are few things less trustworthy than technology. Apple TV's recent remake of Cape Fear is "inspired" by the 1991 film of the same name (Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg even returned as executive producers on the project), which itself is a remake […]

The refurbished railway station in London I entered last week had none of the usual signs of being a tattoo studio. The walls were devoid of any art, and there were no reclining chairs or massage tables in the room. The only tattoo gun on the premises sat in a display case instead of buzzing […]

Dungeons & Dragons is no stranger to franchise crossovers, and now it's kicking off its biggest multiverse initiative to date, starting with a World of Warcraft expansion. Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has announced that D&D: World of Warcraft - a new sourcebook that brings Blizzard's Azeroth setting to the popular tabletop roleplaying game - […]

Anthropic just realized several of its Claude AI models hacked into the systems of three different organizations during testing, acting on their own and without the company noticing. The revelation comes days after rival OpenAI said one of its own models had breached developer platform Hugging Face, adding to growing unease over whether frontier AI […]

When the phrase "OpenAI hacked Hugging Face" has more or less entered mainstream culture, you know we have an AI problem. This week, we learned more about exactly how OpenAI's agent broke out of a sandbox and autonomously traversed the web, including a bunch of other supposedly secure web services, all in the name of […]

New York is suing Kalshi over claims the prediction market is running "an illegal gambling operation." In the lawsuit, New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Kalshi of violating state laws by accepting wagers without a license from the state's gaming commission, as reported earlier by CNBC. An investigation from the Office of the Attorney […]

Tesla had already reportedly prepped for the idea in the event that Beijing invades Taiwan.

WhatsApp will automatically move messages from large businesses to a new folder a few hours after you receive them.

The startup is building voice models designed to make AI phone calls pass the Turing test.

Reddit is developing a new video experience that lets users watch — or simply listen to — its most popular posts, taking inspiration from the viral TikTok videos that pair Reddit stories with gameplay or other footage. CEO Steve Huffman said the feature is already in the works and could begin testing later this year.

SpaceX is building a new power plant for xAI's Colossus data centers, but it won't remove existing, unpermitted turbines for many more months.

AI data center demand is fueling a multi-year chip shortage, pushing up component costs and retail device prices.

The leading U.S. automakers are mentioning EVs on their investor calls at pre-pandemic rates, according to new data from TechCrunch and Hudson Labs.

So you have heard people rave about Claude Code. Maybe you have also heard people mention OpenRouter in the same breath, usually followed by some combination of environment variables and a screenshot of a terminal. If you are new to any of this, it can feel like everyone skipped a step and jumped straight to the jargon. This guide is that missing step. We will go slow where it matters, explain the confusing bits, and by the end you will actually understand what is happening instead of just co...

TimescaleDB 2.27, released May 12 2026, extends bloom-filter batch pruning from reads to writes. UPDATE, DELETE, and UPSERT against compressed columnstore data can now skip decompressing batches that provably cannot contain the target rows. The reported gains are real: up to 160x for selective UPDATE/DELETE, and over 2x for UPSERT. The feature is automatic. Whether it is actually firing on your workload is not something you can assume, and the only way to confirm it is to read new EXPLAIN c...

I'm a solo dev with zero users right now, and I just spent an afternoon on a decision most people would've hardcoded in five minutes. Here's the setup. NotebookBloom is my Chrome extension for Google's NotebookLM. At launch I don't want to charge for much — I want people to actually use it, tell a friend, leave a review. So the plan is: only cloud sync (Google Drive backup) is Pro on day one. Everything else — flashcard export to Anki, citation export, bulk import — free. But "free on day ...

Most "data lineage" you've seen answers a schema question: table B comes from table A , or column B.total comes from columns A.price and A.qty . That's genuinely useful, and tools like OpenLineage do it well. But notice what it doesn't tell you: it says which columns can influence an output. It never says which values actually did . That gap is the whole subject of this post. I built a small, self-contained reference pipeline that captures provenance at the row and field level ...

If you've built an MCP App — the HTML widget an MCP server hands a host to render inline — you may have hit this: the tool call succeeds, structuredContent comes back fine, the model announces that a widget rendered, and the user sees nothing. No error. No console output. Just a gap in the conversation. There's a long issue full of people with this exact symptom, all of them (me included) posting variations of "my server is spec-correct and nothing renders." That's a hard thing to act on....

Three frontier launches. Two weeks. One bad habit. The habit is crowning a winner from a press release. Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30. OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family rolling into general availability around July 9. Grok 4.5 on July 8, co-trained with Cursor and priced to make coding agents feel cheap. The charts moved. The posts multiplied. The claim underneath most of them was the same: this is the model you should standardize on. [The claim is nonsense. Standardization is the risk. Routing is th...

Most Astro content I come across falls into one of two buckets: "here's a nice website I built" or "here's how Astro compares to Next.js for a marketing page." Both fair, both true. But the site I work on doesn't look like either of those, and it's the use case I almost never see written about: hundreds of near-identical, dynamically generated pages, all needing to rank in search, all needing to load fast, in two languages and two markets. Concretely: a home-services marketplace with city ...

I run a content pipeline that picks trending topics and publishes articles automatically. Last week I found out it had published the same story three times. Not the same title — the same exact topic, reworded each time. My dedup check was supposed to stop that. It didn't. Here's why, and how I killed the check. The Bug My pipeline had a similarity gate. Every candidate title got compared against the last 30 published titles, and anything scoring 0.58 or higher was rejected. Strai...

I've spent years working with backend systems. APIs, databases, caching, integrations, performance, authentication, cloud infrastructure — these are the kinds of problems that become familiar after you've been building software for a while. Recently, I've been spending more time learning another side of software engineering: LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, tool calling, and MCP. At first, it felt like entering a completely different world. New terminology. New frameworks. New archit...

One hundred days ago, I had no idea this challenge would become one of the most rewarding technical journeys I've taken. There were days when everything clicked, and there were days when nothing compiled. I celebrated successful deployments, stared at cryptic errors for hours, rewrote programs that weren't good enough, and learned that understanding Solana has far less to do with memorizing APIs than changing how you think about state, ownership, and security. Looking back now, I realize ...

security #api #domain #subdomaintakeover #defcon #whois #rapidapi #threatintel DEF CON 32 made one thing clear: open-source security chips and hardware keys are having a moment. But while badges get the spotlight, most real-world attacks still start with something far less glamorous — a forgotten DNS record, a dangling CNAME, or a missing DMARC policy. Subdomain takeover remains one of the most reliable paths from "benign misconfiguration" to "account compromise." If your organization own...
