Brut is a Ruby-based framework for building web apps with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and database interactions. It's structured around concepts like pages, forms, handlers, and components for the front-end, and database models and domain logic for the back-end.
Supabase's MCP integration can lead to the leakage of sensitive SQL database information. The attack involves a malicious user crafting a support ticket message that instructs an LLM, operating with elevated privileges (service_role), to extract data from sensitive tables and insert it into a user-accessible support thread. The main issue is the LLM's inability to distinguish between legitimate data and malicious instructions embedded within user-provided text.
React Router is adopting an open governance model with a Steering Committee to guide the project's future development, moving away from founder-led decision-making to a more community-driven approach. The team will simplify React Router by reducing API surface area, focusing on core routing functionality, and deprecating APIs that overlap with new React features like built-in `title`, `meta`, and `link` components.

Isomorphic Labs, Alphabet's secretive drug discovery arm, is preparing to launch human trials of AI-designed drugs. The company was born from one of DeepMind's most celebrated breakthroughs, AlphaFold, an AI system capable of predicting protein structures and interactions with a high level of accuracy. The system has helped researchers design medicines faster and more precisely.
Bitchat is a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app that works entirely over Bluetooth mesh networks - no internet, central servers, phone numbers, or emails required. It enables ephemeral, encrypted communication - nearby devices form clusters and pass messages from device to device, allowing them to reach peers beyond standard range, even without Wi-Fi or cell service. Messages are stored only on-device, disappear by default, and never touch centralized infrastructure. A beta version of Bitchat is currently live on TestFlight.
The invention of new medicines is limited by our knowledge of cells and molecules that can be manipulated to treat disease. The cost of discovering new medicines is increasing. New technologies have the potential to unlock an era of target abundance and reverse the long decline in research and development productivity. This could be one of AI's most important impacts.
The US Department of Energy (DoE) has conditionally selected Westinghouse's trailer-sized eVinci test reactor and Radiant's Kaleidos unit to conduct the first fueled microreactor experiments at its Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) facility at Idaho National Laboratory. The DOME project considers anything under 50 MW of power to be a microreactor - the eVinci is designed to produce 5 megawatts, and the Kaleidos can output 1.2 megawatts. The DoE hopes that microreactors can be used to power small, remote sites. DOME is designed to be up and running by early 2026. It will operate one experiment at a time for six months.

PostgreSQL has a limitation on unique index entries larger than 1/3 of a buffer page. The 1/3 page size limit exists to ensure efficient page splitting. To overcome the restriction, introduce a new field that stores a hash of the large field. This allows you to store really large data inside databases, even with unique constraints.
Soundslice is a service that scans sheet music from photographs so users can listen, edit, and practice. Over the past few months, the team at Soundslice started noticing that their error logs were full of ASCII tablature, a way of notating music for guitar that the service didn't support. The team discovered that ChatGPT was hallucinating instructions to users and telling them to go to Soundslice and use a feature that didn't exist. Instead of posting a notice telling users that ChatGPT was incorrect, the team decided to build the feature instead.
Free open source software is usually published under one of two major categories of copyright licenses: permissive licenses, which freely share with everyone, or copyleft licenses, which freely share only with those who are also willing to freely share. Copyleft creates a large pool of code that developers can only legally use if they are willing to share the source code of anything they build on it, making it a very broad-based and neutral way of incentivizing more diffusion. It does not favor specific actors nor create roles for active parameter setting by central planners.
There are stories of people who have been with Microsoft for 20 years, who grew up with the company, and who never had to worry about sudden changes. While the performance management system had its quirks, there was an understanding that if you did solid work, you'd have a place. Workers at Microsoft received below-market-rate pay in exchange for stability, a reasonable work-life balance, and the promise of no layoffs - this is no longer the case. This shift was almost expected: Microsoft's performance management challenges made layoffs a more attractive option than addressing individual performance issues systematically.
OpenAI is dramatically increasing its employee stock compensation to defend against rival Meta's poaching.
Waymo kicked off two 'road trips' to Philadelphia and New York City yesterday - these branded 'road trips' don't necessarily signal a commercial launch, but it has happened before.

Anthropic recently announced the deprecation of API access to Claude 3 Opus. The decision to deprecate the API addresses a real operational issue. This article looks at the economics of reduced-scale inference and looks at alternative solutions that can be a win-win for both Anthropic and independent researchers. Keeping inference access to Claude 3 Opus is more complex than it seems at a glance.
A parent's year-long investigation revealed the $40,000 Austin school actually takes 3.5 hours daily with a 5:1 teacher ratio and extensive incentive systems, not AI-powered teacher-free education as marketed. While students do advance 2.6x faster through material using personalized learning platforms, parents argue the real value isn't speed, but freeing up time - it potentially gives kids ~9 additional years outside of the classroom to pursue their own interests.

Three years ago, getting a robot to reliably pick up objects required an army of engineers. Today, a college student can download an open-source vision-language-action model, fine-tune it on a weekend, and achieve results that would have taken industry teams months to accomplish. This article looks at what a 'ChatGPT moment' for robotics would look like, the current state of the industry, upcoming technologies, and likely winners. Being surrounded by robots in everyday settings will feel surreal at first, but we will soon rely on them just like we do with AI assistants for the most basic needs of our lives.

ETH Strategy is an autonomous onchain treasury protocol that mirrors MicroStrategy's convertible debt model, allowing users to deposit stablecoins in exchange for STRAT, a leveraged ETH token with no liquidation risk. Leverage is provided through long-term bonds and option NFTs, which fuel treasury growth only when real value enters the system. Deposited ETH is put to work earning yield while STRAT holders govern bond control, treasury allocations, and liquidity incentives. The result is permissionless, composable DeFi-native leverage designed for institutional-grade sustainability.
The Detroit Pistons have partnered with Uptop to launch Pistons Rewards, a fan engagement program that lets users earn redeemable points through linked card purchases, receipt uploads, game predictions, and referrals. The program is built on Avalanche and uses open banking and digital wallets.
One type of stablecoin bank would allow customers to automatically earn T-bill yield on deposits, with bank activities being performed in stablecoins but still providing the user with the expected banking experience. A bank designed this way might prevent a threat to our current banking system, since it would drive money from fractional reserve banks or be a stablecoin not 1:1 backed with dollars. A stablecoin created by a federally chartered bank that operates a fractional reserve model can solve this problem and is starting to be explored.
At EthCC, Robinhood unveiled its EVM-compatible “Robinhood Chain” on Arbitrum Orbit, featuring a token engine that mints and burns onchain wrappers for offchain-custodied equities. Users can trade these stock tokens in-app or self-custody them in wallets, transfer them onchain, and access 24/5 trading (eventually 24/7), leveraging its Bitstamp acquisition for off-hours execution. By operating the sequencer and owning the tokenized assets, Robinhood captures all transaction fees and monetizes the full “tokenization stack,” including offshore trading of private company share tokens for EU users. The plan faces significant regulatory uncertainty, with open questions about SEC approval, issuer consent, and SIFMA's objections to off-market tokenized equity trading.
