10 Lessons for Agentic Coding

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: What should we do when code is cheap? Lately, this blog has featured a lot of writing about agentic coding. Frontier models are really good at coding these days, much better than they are at other tasks. Coding with agents feels like a preview of the future, a playground for seeing how far we can push agent capabilities. It’s invigorating, rewarding, and deeply weird. I’ve been keeping a running list of tips for agentic coding: guidelines or rules one might give to someone just…

When everyone has AI and the company still learns nothing

🔥 Read this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Ethan Mollick has been writing about AI adoption in organizations for a while now. In Making AI Work: Leadership, Lab, and Crowd, he makes the point that individual productivity gains from AI do not automatically become organizational gains. People may get faster, write better, analyze more, automate more, or quietly become cyborg versions of themselves. The company may still learn almost nothing.A lot of companies are now entering the phase where GitHub Copilot licenses are provisioned, ChatGPT Enterprise exists somewhere in the stack, Claude or Gemini…

Async Rust never left the MVP state

0 CommentsEntertainment

🚀 Read this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: I've previously explained async bloat and some work-arounds for it, but would much prefer to solve the issue at the root, in the compiler. I've submitted a Project Goal, and am looking for help to fund the effort.I love me some async Rust! It's amazing how we can write executor agnostic code that can run concurrently on huge servers and tiny microcontrollers.But especially on those tiny microcontrollers we notice that async Rust is far from the zero cost abstractions we were promised. That's because every…

✨ Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (カエルの為(ため)に鐘(かね)は鳴(な)る) is a Japanese-only Game Boy title published in 1992 by Nintendo and developed by Intelligent Systems. The title’s official English translation is “The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls”. For brevity, I’ll be using the title “Frog Game” in this article. After I finished Link’s Awakening, the Frog Game started popping up everywhere in my digital life. The first occurrence was without my knowledge: some of the characters in Link’s Awakening, Prince Richard and his frogs, are…

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

💥 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Two weeks ago I wrote about Anthropic silently registering a Native Messaging bridge in seven Chromium-based browsers on every machine where Claude Desktop was installed [1]. The pattern was: install on user launch of product A, write configuration into the user's installs of products B, C, D, E, F, G, H without asking. Reach across vendor trust boundaries. No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually, every time Claude Desktop is launched. This week I discovered the same pattern,…

Hand‑drawn QR codes — Seth Larson

0 CommentsEntertainment

🚀 Read this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I really like QR codes. Recently I purchased a new sticky-note-like pad from a new local stationery store in Minneapolis. The sheets have a 10x10 grid and 2x10 grid. I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to create a QR code on a sheet. The smallest QR code (besides micro QR codes) is "version 1" which uses 21x21 pixels. We'll have to split the squares in half and then use some of the margin. Version 1 QR codes can hold URLs up to…

Kids can bypass some age checks with a drawn-on mustache • The Register

0 CommentsEntertainment

🚀 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: It’s been months since the UK government began requiring stronger age checks under the Online Safety Act, and recent research suggests those measures are falling short of keeping kids away from harmful content. In some cases, even drawing on a mustache has been reported as enough to fool age detection software. Like keeping booze away from teenagers or nudie mags out of the hands of young lads, slapping a big “restricted, 18+” label on parts of the internet hasn't stopped kids testing the limits. Those…

🚀 Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: A hands-on workshop where you write every piece of a GPT training pipeline yourself, understanding what each component does and why. Andrej Karpathy's nanoGPT was my first real exposure to LLMs and transformers. Seeing how a working language model could be built in a few hundred lines of PyTorch completely changed how I thought about AI and inspired me to go deeper into the space. This workshop is my attempt to give others that same experience. nanoGPT targets reproducing GPT-2 (124M params) and covers…

CVE-2026-31431: Copy Fail vs. rootless containers

0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Table of ContentsIntroductionIn the previous post about SELinux MCS and GitLab runners, I briefly mentioned CVE-2026-31431 (“Copy Fail”) as a motivating example for per-job VM isolation. After that post went out I spent the weekend setting up a lab to actually run the exploit, trace it at the syscall level, and verify that the rootless Podman architecture we deploy on GNOME’s runners would contain it. This post documents the entire process: from disassembling the shellcode to watching the kernel reject the privilege escalation in…
