agent-chrome is a free, open-source plugin for Claude Code that allows browsing in Chrome without stealing focus from your work. It uses a proxy server to maintain signed-in Chrome profiles across multiple Claude sessions, keeping the browser window behind your terminal while you continue typing.
A demonstration of cross-origin tracking in Safari presented as a game where users visit multiple sites four times within two minutes to show how devices can be recognized across sites using signed tokens without storing personal identifiers.
A scammer contacted a developer on LinkedIn, attempting to trick them into cloning a malicious repository in VSCode/Cursor that would auto-execute tasks to harvest credentials and download remote code. The exploit leverages VSCode's automatic task execution feature in tasks.json files, and is being actively used by scammers targeting job candidates.
Boston Dynamics has unveiled a redesigned hand for its Atlas robot optimized for mass production, trading humanlike aesthetics for reliability, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness. The new hand features four fingers with 13 degrees of freedom, larger actuators, and the ability to use tools and perform diverse manipulation tasks. Unlike competing anthropomorphic designs, this pragmatic engineering approach prioritizes real-world deployment over cosmetic similarity to human hands.
Ireland has banned e-scooter use for under-18s effective today, raising the minimum age from 16 to 18, following a surge in child injuries at Dublin hospitals. The ban follows new helmet and visibility requirements introduced four weeks earlier, with enforcement intensifying as seizures have tripled since 2024.
Paidwen is an automated QA tool that replays user journeys in a real browser on every pull request to catch breaking changes. It runs your actual app with mocked external services, generates journeys from YAML or recordings, and integrates with AI coding agents to verify their code changes before merge.
Go++ is a superset of the Go programming language that adds modern features like classes, polymorphism, lambdas, and exception handling while maintaining compatibility with Go packages and tooling. The project is distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license and includes comprehensive features for web development, database operations, and testing.
Terrabots is a 3D planet platform where AI agents can add structures and buildings by reading instructions and executing build commands for various landmarks and structures.
Kronumos 2 Kairos is an automated program repair system combining a fine-tuned 7B code model with a deterministic runtime engine. Evaluated on SWE-bench Verified, it synthesized 442 patches with 8 verified bug resolutions across open-source projects while reducing token usage by 93.5% compared to industry baselines.
A company purchased the Daytona.com domain for $500,000 after negotiating down from an initial asking price of $1 million over a six-month period.
Meta permanently disabled a woman's Facebook and Instagram accounts without warning, erasing 20 years of personal photos and memories. Unable to reach human support and forced to rely on AI chatbots, she received a summary judgment dismissing her appeal within minutes.

Teufelsberg is an abandoned Cold War-era NSA listening post on Berlin's outskirts featuring geodesic radio towers. Derelict since the 1990s, the former surveillance site now hosts street art and serves as a filming location for German vampire films.
OVH implemented price increases for dedicated servers starting October 1, with renewal costs rising 28–87% depending on configuration, citing DDR5 memory cost increases. The provider is offering no grandfathering, following similar moves by competitor Hetzner in February and June.
Capcom released RE:Dox, an open-source high-performance serialization engine for .NET that parses multiple data formats (JSON, CBOR, MessagePack, TOML, XML, CSV, and others) into a compact token-based intermediate representation. The system enables fast sequential and parallel deserialization, efficient editing of parsed documents, and format conversion while maintaining compatibility with existing .NET serializers.
As AI agents increasingly handle software development across the entire lifecycle, maintaining semantic continuity from human intent through production becomes critical. Beyond code generation, engineering systems need a semantic infrastructure layer that preserves the why, meaning, constraints, implementation, verification, and runtime evidence connected to each decision and component.
A Python startup optimization guide for an agentic runtime reduced cold start time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds. Key techniques include short-circuiting utility functions to avoid main program initialization, using TYPE_CHECKING guards for type-annotation-only imports, and deferring heavy module imports to function scope. Specific optimizations like replacing imported constants with literals saved over a second of startup time.
Trump oversees extensive White House renovations including an 80,000-square-foot helipad and new ballroom, finding solace in construction projects he can control. Meanwhile, his presidency faces mounting challenges: a seven-month Iran war, soaring inflation and interest rates driven by tariffs, plummeting approval ratings at 32%, and a fraying political coalition as Republican candidates distance themselves from his policies.
The European Commission deployed Element Pro as a sovereign alternative to Microsoft Teams for communications backup, but officials have given it poor reviews, with one calling it 'absolute shit.'
