Show HN: Meow – The 4th and final JavaScript runtime and toolchain

Yes, I said final. Fight me in the comments. But seriously: there are basically exactly 3 serious JS runtimes in the world. (Now 4... or 1, idk). Why? Because the modern JS ecosystem is a fragmented, bloated nightmare. Node, pnpm, tsc, eslint, prettier, vite. Each spins up its own V8 instance, parses your codebase from scratch, and leaves a graveyard of .json configs in your root directory. meow squishes it all into one cute 82MB binary. It’s a drop-in Node replacement, ultra-fast package manage...

I Rebuilt One Lost Garden Scene Three Times - The Generating Was the Cheap Part

The promise of AI filmmaking is real. One person genuinely can make something that used to take a crew. But the promise that gets sold and the work that actually fills your week are two different things. The generation is the magic in the demo. The case study is everything around it.

Elon Musk denies a report about SpaceX’s AI phone prototype

Elon Musk says a report about a SpaceX AI phone prototype is "utterly false." The report, published on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, says SpaceX showed off a "handset-like prototype" to some investors before launching its record-breaking initial public offering in June. The device was "slimmer than an iPhone," and they were told it […]

Xbox’s ‘reset’: all the news about Microsoft’s looming layoffs and studio closures

Xbox is making some big changes — again. On June 10th, a few months after Asha Sharma took over as CEO, she and newly-promoted chief content officer Matt Booty sent a memo to staff warning of an “Xbox reset.” The business, they said, is facing significant challenges, including a 3 percent “accountability margin,” massively higher […]

The funeral for PlayStation discs has begun

Cody Spencer, the co-owner of the small games retail chain Pink Gorilla Games, put it well when I asked about the impact of Sony's recent announcement that it will stop making discs for new games starting January 2028. "It's sad to see. This decision is only a negative for gamers. We're losing the ability to […]

Your RAG Pipeline Hallucinates Because It Never Checks Its Own Work

Your team ships a documentation chatbot. It retrieves chunks, stuffs them into a prompt, and generates an answer. Demo day goes great. Then a customer asks "what's the rate limit for the batch API?" and the bot confidently answers "10,000 requests per minute" — citing a doc about a completely different API. Nobody catches it because the answer sounds plausible. This is the core failure mode of naive RAG: the retriever returns something, the generator uses it, and nobody checks whether the re...

Importar usuarios sin restablecer la contraseña

Toda guía de migración de identidad acaba llegando al mismo párrafo, y siempre suena un poco a disculpa: "los usuarios tendrán que restablecer su contraseña." Se trata como si fuera una ley de la naturaleza. No lo es. Es una decisión, casi siempre impuesta por una herramienta que no quiso hacer lo más difícil. Lo más difícil es verificar en su sitio los hashes de contraseña existentes de tus usuarios, para que tras el cambio inicien sesión con exactamente las mismas credenciales que tenían ...

Todo guia de migração de identidade acaba chegando ao mesmo parágrafo, e ele soa sempre um pouco constrangido: "os usuários precisarão redefinir suas senhas." Isso é tratado como uma lei da natureza. Não é. É uma escolha, quase sempre imposta por uma ferramenta que não quis fazer o mais difícil. O mais difícil é verificar no lugar os hashes de senha existentes dos seus usuários, para que, depois da virada, eles entrem com exatamente as mesmas credenciais que tinham antes e nunca percebam qu...

Our service discovery caught its own failure and switched itself off

We had a three-replica cluster that kept disagreeing with itself. Background jobs ran two and three times over. The answer wasn't in the logs; it was in our own code. The peer-discovery routine had a catch block, and the comment inside it said, more or less, "multicast failed, discovery disabled." Our service discovery was catching its own failure and quietly turning itself off, and it had been doing exactly that in production from day one. This is the story of why a clustering protocol that'...
