A little idea I got from playing with AI SWE Agents. Can AI help make sure we understand the code that our AIs write?

PR Quiz uses AI to generate a quiz from a pull request and blocks you from merging until the quiz is passed. You can configure various options like the LLM model to use, max number of attempts to pass the quiz or min diff size to generate a quiz for. I found that the reasoning models, while more expensive, generated better questions from my limited testing.

4 months back I started making an extension named monochromate which was basically a greyscale extension, I realised power of them when I turned it on my phone and the thing is being a programmer most of my time is spent on browsers ... and that's where it don't exist (at least not the perfect solution for my needs).

That's how I came up with it, made it open source, recently passed 100 users over chrome webstore and it have 5-star rating as of now.

From AI assistants to digital platforms, how can we design for rapid mode switching in real life? Reflections about utilitarian and experiential content and why understanding both matters. https://webdesignernews.com/content-for-fun-vs-content-for-purpose-designing-for-two-distinct-modes-of-consumption/

For years, it’s been faster to create mockups and prototypes of software than to ship it to production. As a result, software design teams could stay “ahead” of engineering. Now AI coding agents make development 10x faster, flipping the traditional software development process on its head. https://webdesignernews.com/ai-has-flipped-software-development/

Of all the current debates around AI, one critique has stayed with me: that it’s “flattening the bar.” Tools like ChatGPT, the argument goes, make everyone’s writing sound the same — generic, overly polished, stripped of nuance. The concern is real, and I share it. https://webdesignernews.com/ai-is-flattening-language-and-redistributing-power/

Despite promising results on synthetic benchmarks (e.g. Vending-Bench, SpreadsheetBench, DSBench), frontier models consistently underperform once they are deployed in complex, real-world situations. https://webdesignernews.com/can-llms-do-accounting/

It’s a tough time to be an adult online in the U.K. right now. Last week’s passage of the Online Safety Act, a law aimed at shielding children from inappropriate (read: adult) content, has brought about a version of the internet that feels more like being back in school. You now essentially need a hall pass, in the form of official ID or a live selfie, to go almost anywhere.

What’s better than one peptide? A whole stack of them, apparently.

Peptide stacking is the latest health hack going viral online, promising to optimize workouts and overall well-being.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help build proteins. As the name suggests, peptide stacking involves taking multiple types of supplements—often in the form of tablets, powders, or injections—at once to enhance their effects and target specific fitness goals, such as building m

German semiconductor materials supplier Siltronic on Tuesday lowered its full-year sales guidance and warned on sales in the next quarter, amidst continued weakness in its semiconductor business and high customer inventories.

The ELF Injector allows you to "inject" arbitrary-sized relocatable code chunks into ELF executables. The code chunks will run before the original entry point of the executable runs.

Included in the project are sample chunks as well as a step-by-step tutorial on how it works.

It's a mix of C and assembly and currently runs on 32-bit ARM though it's easy to port to other architectures.

Hi HN, Hussain and Dan from Xorq here.

After years of struggling with scaling compute that worked in notebooks but failed in production, we decided to do something about it. Data has standards like Iceberg and Delta. But compute is still a mess—trapped in notebooks, duplicated effort across teams, or baked into custom Airflow DAGs. We think of Xorq as the missing analog to Apache Iceberg, but for compute.

We’ve spent the last year building Xorq, an *compute catalog* that helps teams *reu

It's a web app that uses AI to turn any book into a playable text adventure. Your favorite book, but your choices, hence your story. You can even "remix" the genre like playing Dune as a noir detective story.
