UPPY 6.0: FEWER PACKAGES, FEWER MOVING PARTS, AND A ROBUST S3 PLUGIN

Uppy 6.0 rewrites its AWS S3 plugin around three explicit signing modes and adds direct support for S3-compatible services like Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and DigitalOcean Spaces. It also folds four frequently duplicated packages into Uppy Core, improves multipart-upload reliability and recovery, and tightens supply-chain protections.

THREE SITES MADE 215,128 “BEST SOFTWARE” PAGES FOR AI. PERPLEXITY CITES THEM

Trellner queried two Perplexity models across 380 software categories and found that 59.8% of their 7,534 citations came from domains outside the 100,000 most-visited websites. Three apparently connected sites alone had published 215,128 machine-generated recommendation pages, highlighting how AI retrieval systems can ground purchase recommendations in content designed primarily for machines.

HOW TO FINGERPRINT AI AGENTS HITTING YOUR ENDPOINTS

ChatGPT summaries, Claude lookups, and Gemini answers all fan out into HTTP requests that hit your website. Block it all? You disappear from AI answers. Let it all through? Spoofed assistants can come in undetected. Fingerprint's AI ASSISTANT DETECTION gives you a VERIFIED VERDICT PER REQUEST, so you can: → LET VERIFIED ASSISTANTS THROUGH signup, checkout, and scraping-sensitive endpoints so your docs and content surface in AI answers. → BLOCK OR CHALLENGE a request pretending to be an AI Assistant (strong abuse signal.) → USE ALONGSIDE FINGERPRINT'S AI AGENT DETECTION to cover both HTTP and the browser. 🆓 Set up Fingerprint with a JS snippet [5]and start identifying your AI traffic for free.

A DEEP DIVE INTO STYLEX

StyleX is like a compiler-plus-constraints. You author typed JS style objects, and it extracts deduplicated atomic CSS at build time, killing collisions, dead rules, and specificity fights. StyleX shines in the agent era, since verbosity matters less when an agent types, and stricter defaults shrink inconsistent choices and make diff review easier.

MASTERY STILL COMES FROM DOING THE REPS

Since agents finish tasks without teaching you anything, expertise now has to be built deliberately, with the core skills becoming decision-making, specifying, steering, and verifying.
