LET'S MAKE QUALITY THE NORM AGAIN

The Norwegian Consumer Council argues that longer product lifespans, affordable repairs, available spare parts, and durable software support are necessary for a workable circular economy. Its proposals include longer complaint periods, lower taxes on repair and secondhand sales, stronger rental protections, and tighter rules on purchase pressure.

WE WANTED TO USE BASETEN FOR INFERENCE. WE ENDED UP WITH ADMIN ACCESS TO BASETEN GITHUB REPOS

An autonomous security scan found a public Harbor registry, then recovered a live GitHub token from a 2023 container image's build history. The token still had broad admin and write access, showing why teams must inspect image metadata as well as layers, use BuildKit secret mounts, expire credentials, and minimize scopes.

OPENHUNTERAI

OpenHunterAI is a local AI red-team workspace that runs attacker-style assessments against web apps, APIs, and LLM applications you own, combining browser inspection, recon, ZAP, and a Nuclei adapter under one scan plan. Its differentiator is scope control, with domain verification, deterministic plans, and human approval gates before any sensitive validation runs. It also ships as a skill for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, so coding agents can prepare scoped assessments that wait for human reviewers to sign off.

OPENRESEARCH

OpenResearch is a local-first workspace that turns coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor into research agents. The platform can autonomously propose ideas, change code, launch experiments, and analyze evidence. Users can run workspaces locally, over SSH, or on platforms including Kubernetes and Hugging Face Jobs.
