SoundCloud discovered unauthorized activity in December 2025, exposing 30M unique email addresses and user data for 20% of its users. The attackers later attempted to extort SoundCloud before releasing the data publicly.
OpenAI introduced Prism, a free AI-native workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research, powered by GPT-5.2. Prism aims to reduce friction in day-to-day research work, enabling researchers to focus on discovery.
OpenSSL has multiple security issues fixed in various versions, including buffer overflows, NULL pointer dereferences, and timing side-channel vulnerabilities. Affected versions include OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, 0.9.8, 0.9.7, and 0.9.6.
Thinking, planning, talking, and consuming content about the thing is not doing the thing. A short reminder to just start.
The user created a simplified version control system called "tvc" using Rust, replacing git's SHA-1 hashing with SHA-256 and zlib compression with zstd. The system stores files in a content-addressable file store, generating hashes and tree objects to track changes and allow for checkout of commits.

We help enterprises preserve and modernize mission-critical legacy systems. Our goal is to future-proof the backbone of the global economy by autonomously maintaining these systems.
Heathrow airport now allows liquids up to 2 litres in bags after installing new high-tech CT scanners. Other UK airports with the scanners may raise their 100ml limit once given the green light by the Department for Transport.
Xfce is funding Brian Tarricone to create xfwl4, a new Wayland compositor for Xfce, written in Rust using smithay building blocks. The goal is for xfwl4 to offer the same functionality as xfwm4, with a seamless transition and minimal differences between X11 and Wayland.
A continuously running artificial life simulation where simple organisms emerge, evolve, and sometimes go extinct. No goals, just observation.
Cloudflare falsely claimed to implement Matrix on Cloudflare Workers, using AI-generated content and incomplete code. The code lacks core Matrix security and interoperability features, containing 'TODO' notes and serious security holes.
Aperture is an AI gateway that provides visibility into coding agent usage across organizations without hindering developers. It uses Tailscale connections to eliminate API keys and offers insights into AI adoption and potential security risks.
A single Codex CLI agent built a basic web browser in 3 days, rendering HTML+CSS with 20,000 lines of Rust. This achievement challenges the idea that building a web browser requires millions of lines of code and sophisticated multi-agent harnesses.
Mathematicians have found a pair of very twisty, closed-up surfaces that have the same local information but different global structures, solving a 150-year-old problem. The discovery was made possible by studying discrete surfaces, which are like pixelated versions of smooth surfaces.
Ai2 Open Coding Agents release a training method for building custom coding agents, making it accessible for tasks like code generation and debugging. The method, SERA, achieves state-of-the-art results at a fraction of the typical training costs.
One of the first significant things I ever coded in QBasic was a falling snow simulation- I think they're very soothing to watch, fun to customize, and there's lots of possibilities for extra little delight. Here's one I built on idle afternoons over the holidays this year at my parents. Enjoy!
TikTok users claim censorship after a power outage caused video upload issues, but some suspect it's related to new ownership and ICE content. Users are deleting their accounts and exploring alternative platforms due to concerns about content moderation and data security.
Velox is a Swift port of Tauri that allows building desktop apps using HTML with Swift backends and supports features like IPC, devtools, and custom protocols. It includes a configuration file (velox.json) and supports platform-specific overrides, and can be used to create custom commands and responses using a DSL or macro-based approach.
The text based internet offers exciting resources via telnet, including Rainmaker and nyancat.dakko.us. Telnetbbsguide.com lists active Dial-Up and Telnet accessible Bulletin Board Systems.
The SDK unifies AI video, image, voice, and music generation under one API with a custom JSX runtime and caching for faster performance and lower costs. It requires FFmpeg and server-side access, supports Node.js and Bun, and is licensed under Apache 2.0 with no SDK cost.
LemonSlice trains interactive avatar video models, releasing a new 20B-parameter model that generates infinite-length video at 20fps on a single GPU. The API allows users to upload a photo and engage in FaceTime-style calls with photorealistic avatars, with a free trial available for HN users.
A "pump and dump" scheme combines AI-generated software with crypto to create hype, inflate valuation, and dump worthless tokens. Be cautious of projects like Clawdbot, which may be an unsecure mess of vibecoded software, and consider the possibility of paid astroturfing.
Amazon is closing 70 brick-and-mortar grocery stores, including Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go, due to lack of a distinctive customer experience. The company will consolidate under the Whole Foods name and open 100 new locations, including a smaller spinoff called Whole Foods Market Daily Shop.
Kimi K2.5 is a multimodal model that delivers state-of-the-art coding and vision capabilities with a self-directed agent swarm paradigm. It reduces execution time by up to 4.5x compared to a single-agent setup.
The Enchiridion, a small book by Epictetus, has played a significant role in shaping modern attitudes and philosophy, particularly in reconciling social dependency and personal independence. The book teaches Stoic philosophy as a way of life, emphasizing the importance of controlling one's desires, accepting what is outside of one's power, and living in harmony with nature.
