The Quiet Power of Cybercrime Takedowns - And How They Can Muzzle Critics

A fresh flare-up around cybercrime “takedowns” is spotlighting a familiar tension: the same pipelines built to strip phishing kits and C2 infra from the internet can also remove uncomfortable speech if misapplied. Under the hood, much of this ecosystem runs on trust: “trusted reporter” channels to registrars, CDNs, and platforms;

Graphite’s stacked-diff workflow is joining Cursor’s AI editor - a tighter loop between code, review, and agents

Graphite - the stacked PR and review workflow tool - is joining Cursor, the AI-first code editor. What’s notable here isn’t another “AI meets IDE” headline, but a concrete bridge between authoring code and managing changes at the granularity of commits and stacks. Graphite popularized stack-native workflows (small,

After Brown/MIT Shooting Suspect Found Dead, Campus Safety Tech Gets Another Stress Test

Officials say the suspect tied to the Brown/MIT shooting has been found dead. Beyond the headline, incidents like this stress-test the campus safety stack: mass-notification platforms, cross-campus coordination, and law-enforcement data exchange. Under the hood, universities typically lean on services like Everbridge or Rave to push rapid alerts, integrate

TP-Link’s Tapo C200 flagged for hardcoded keys and buffer overflows - with real privacy fallout

Security researchers have disclosed that TP-Link’s Tapo C200 ships with hardcoded cryptographic material and is vulnerable to buffer overflow bugs in its network-facing services. Under the hood, that’s a two-front problem: shared secrets undermine any claim of device-specific trust, making impersonation and traffic decryption feasible at scale, while

Researchers claim supply‑chain route into X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord

A security team says it gained access to X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord via a single supply‑chain vector-an outcome that, if confirmed, underscores how modern platform ecosystems can share failure modes. What’s notable here isn’t a novel exploit primitive but the blast radius: one weak link rippling

Picknplace.js rethinks drag-and-drop with a discrete pick-and-place model

Show HN: Picknplace.js positions itself as an alternative to traditional drag-and-drop - a space long hampered by browser inconsistencies, mobile quirks, and a11y hurdles. What’s notable here is the explicit shift from continuous dragging to a discrete “select, then place” flow. That pattern tends to simplify input handling

Inside China’s AI-chip sprint: DUV, packaging, and a parallel compute stack

China’s campaign to field homegrown AI accelerators has become a tightly coordinated, end-to-end buildout-less about a single miracle chip, more about aligning foundry, packaging, EDA, and software into a self-sufficient stack. Under the hood, SMIC has demonstrated 7 nm–class processes using deep-UV multi-patterning, while domestic players like Huawei

HTMX: Server-Driven UI Without the SPA Overhead

If your frontend feels heavier than your problem, HTMX is a solid reality check. Under the hood, it uses small HTML attributes (hx-get, hx-post, hx-swap, hx-trigger) to declare interactions, then swaps server-rendered fragments directly into the DOM. No build step, minimal JavaScript, and your existing templates keep doing the heavy

Jonathan Blow says he spent a decade crafting 1,400 puzzles

Jonathan Blow - the designer behind Braid and The Witness - says he’s spent the past ten years designing 1,400 puzzles. What’s notable here isn’t the raw count so much as the commitment to hand-authored, systemic design at a scale usually achieved with procedural generators. Under
