The 2026 Django Developers Survey (results coming soon!) found that AI is part of the weekly or daily workflow for 90% of respondents. AI can write code quickly, but Django developers still need to understand the application, evaluate what the agent produces, and be accountable for what ships. That makes your IDE more important, not […]
Bitcoin is trading at its highest levels since early June as crypto execs joined with President Donald Trump push to get the Clarity Act over the finish line.
Plans to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory satellite from falling into Earth's atmosphere are seemingly dead in the water. The agency and Katalyst Space announced yesterday that the Link spacecraft will no longer capture or boost the Swift telescope to a higher altitude due to an ongoing "attitude control issue," but will instead conduct rendezvous and […]
As a kid, I always imagined the "black market" would be like the movies: Shady vendors hawking illicit goods along dusty streets. But if you want a banned DJI Osmo Pocket 4 or Pocket 4 Pro camera in the US, you can just reach for your phone. They're on Temu, AliExpress, eBay, Mercari - even […]

The flaws could be exploited to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive information, and elevate privileges. The post Atlassian, Splunk Patch Dozens of Critical, High-Severity Vulnerabilities appeared first on SecurityWeek .
Turing Award winner Richard Sutton calls synthetic data a "big mistake" for scaling large language models. The world is infinitely complex, and any simulation of it is "microscopic," with human expertise acting as a bottleneck that blocks real scaling. Sutton's alternative is agents that learn continually from their own experience instead of relying on frozen models.

A new bill would impose sweeping restrictions and penalties for ties with foreign institutions and contacts with foreign-based media, making it even more difficult to access information within Iran.
The critical-severity flaw allows attackers to send HTTP requests to internal endpoints and extract sensitive information. The post MLflow Vulnerability Exploited for Cloud Credential Theft appeared first on SecurityWeek .
I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373456 Points: 411 # Comments: 95
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated an attack that revives expired Visa contactless credit cards for real in-store purchases by rewriting the expiration date a point-of-sale (POS) terminal reads over near-field communication (NFC), without breaking any of the card's cryptography. The attack, which the researchers named "Zombie Card," requires physical
In August, Toru Hinkle was stocking shelves at their job at Target when they noticed two customers and asked if they needed any help. The men requested a price check on an item - but even after Hinkle told them the item was $20, the customers asked for the price again and again. "After a […]
Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped. "With Slack Code, when you have […]
