Upfetch is a lightweight, type-safe fetch client builder that improves the native fetch API with features like standard schema validation, automatic response parsing, and flexible configuration. It allows setting defaults for requests, simplifying query parameters and body handling, and providing lifecycle hooks for request control. It also has error handling, authentication, and customization options for response parsing, error handling, and parameter/body serialization.
$1.4 billion was stolen from Bybit in a hack orchestrated by North Korea's Lazarus Group. Attackers manipulated the "operation" parameter in a Safe smart contract transaction to enable something called delegatecall, granting them control over Bybit's wallet through malicious contracts. The compromised transaction bypassed standard security checks by replacing the legitimate one in the signing interface, which then allowed unauthorized fund transfers.
An AI tool developed by Google solved a complex problem about superbug antibiotic resistance in just two days, a process that took microbiologists a decade. A professor and his team at Imperial College London used the AI tool to replicate their findings. It also offered four additional hypotheses, one of which the team hadn't considered and is now investigating.

Powered by Apple Intelligence, the feature is designed to help users manage notifications by prioritizing important alerts and minimizing distractions from less important ones. Priority Notifications will be displayed in a separate section on the iPhone's Lock Screen. Users will still be able to swipe to view all of their notifications. The feature will be off by default but can be enabled through the Notifications section in Settings.
The announcement around the Stargate project made it clear that Microsoft's relationship with OpenAI was to evolve, allowing OpenAI to use other cloud providers. Microsoft is not fully breaking up with OpenAI - it will remain a key partner in many regards. However, what was a tight coupling of OpenAI and Microsoft will now be a tight coupling of OpenAI and SoftBank.
Genetic technology could create humans that live longer, have the raw intellectual power to do Nobel Prize-worthy scientific research, and very rarely suffer from health disorders. Scientists don't do this though due to ethical issues. As a result, there is a lot of low-hanging fruit in this field of research. This post looks into how to do large-scale, heritable editing of the human genome to improve everything from diabetes risk to intelligence. It summarizes the state of knowledge in the field and lays out a technical roadmap that examines how remaining barriers may be overcome.
AstroForge is planning to heave a microwave oven-sized spacecraft toward an asteroid later this week as part of the company's plans to create a future where precious metals are mined around the solar system. Its Odin spacecraft will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as soon as Wednesday. Odin's target is an object called 2022 OB5, which is about the size of a football field and is likely to contain a high amount of metal. Odin will arrive in late 2025 after a journey of about 300 days.

Google's Director of AI Dr. Ali Arsanjani, and Datadog's VP of Engineering Sajid Mehmood, sat down to discuss the current and future states of AI, ML, and LLMs on Google Cloud [8]. This guide distills the top 7 insights and actions for technical leaders, covering everything from upskilling teams to observability best practices. Read
Building an LLM (Large Language Model) chat app is way more complicated than just making an API call. There are many considerations required - building an LLM chat app is the gauntlet that separates the juniors from the devs who actually know what they are doing. This article discusses how to start building a scalable LLM chat app. Learning how to build the backend architecture allows developers to build better apps that can handle more users and dodge the shame of a launch-day crash.
CSS Zero is an opinionated CSS starter kit for Ruby on Rails applications. It is akin to a 'no build' Tailwind CSS. CSS Zero includes custom templates for scaffolds and authentication.
A large part of the economy just won't adopt AI or use it effectively all that quickly. As AI becomes more productive, human bottlenecks will become more important. Not all bottlenecks will be regulatory: there will be slow adopters, people in the workplace who hate AI, energy constraints, and other factors. It is the worst performer who sets the overall level of productivity - soon, the worst performer will be humans. While AI could boost economic rates, that reality will still be a few decades out, if it happens.
The thinking that startups should prioritize growth over everything else, even profitability, was always flawed - profitability isn't unambitious. It means not relying on investors for survival and being able to focus on an unaltered vision and mission. It's now easy to be profitable while also growing fast. The factor holding founders back is rarely team size - it's the clarity of their focus, skill, and ability to execute. Measure what matters, understand your risk profile, hire intentionally and slowly, and raise on your own terms.

ByBit recently suffered the largest crypto hack in history, losing $1.43 billion in Ethereum and other assets after hackers exploited a front-end spoofing attack, deceiving multisig signers into approving malicious transactions. The attack, linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, highlights critical vulnerabilities in multisig and hardware wallet security, particularly the risks of "blind signing" and compromised interfaces. ByBit has assured users their funds are safe and launched a $140 million recovery bounty, but the incident underscores the urgent need for stronger security measures across the crypto industry.
Coinbase has reached an agreement with SEC staff to dismiss all litigation against the company with no fines or business changes required, pending final Commission approval expected next week. The resolution comes after the company's decision to fight the SEC's demands to delist certain assets in 2023. CEO Brian Armstrong argues this dismissal validates their position that the SEC was exceeding its legal authority and could have severely damaged the US crypto industry if unopposed. Coinbase spent around $50 million fighting the SEC.

Following ByBit's recent $1.4B hack, there have been calls for a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain to get the coins out of the hands of the North Korean hackers. This is technically impossible since the hack involved properly signed transactions rather than protocol-level issues, and the funds were immediately movable, unlike the 2016 TheDAO hack's month-long withdrawal delay. Ethereum's current interconnected nature with DeFi protocols, bridges, and real-world assets means any rollback would incur ripple effects across the entire ecosystem.
All content will eventually move onchain, with ERC20 tokens emerging as the dominant pricing mechanism due to their superior composability and liquidity. While there are challenges around token mechanics and cultural stigmas against crypto, these barriers must be overcome through open experimentation rather than avoided.
