SpaceX launched Starship v3 for the first time, a meaningful step toward making the fully reusable heavy-lift stack operational at scale. This is the vehicle NASA is counting on for Artemis lunar landings, so each successful flight actually matters.
Oura acknowledged it gets law enforcement requests for user biometric data but has stayed quiet on how often it complies. Sleep patterns, heart rate, and activity logs are exactly the kind of intimate data that should come with strong legal protections, and right now they largely do not.
GitHub is switching Copilot heavy users from flat-rate to usage-based AI credits starting June 2026, part of a broader industry repricing wave as frontier inference costs stay stubbornly high. If you rely on Copilot or any bundled AI tooling, your monthly bill is about to become unpredictable.
A woman in Texas was arrested after posting on Facebook about her local water supply, which is a genuinely alarming use of law enforcement against ordinary public commentary. The chilling effect on anyone trying to report local issues via social media is real and worth watching.
Gemini Omni dropped on May 19 as Google's latest frontier push, with enhanced multimodal capabilities across the lineup. The frontier model race is still extremely tight and benchmarks are worth checking before assuming any one player has pulled ahead.
A researcher disassembled the complete internal microcode of Intel's original 80386, giving anyone curious about computer architecture a rare look at how the chip actually worked at the silicon level. Pure reverse-engineering history and a genuinely impressive piece of work.
Electrobun 2.0 is splitting from Bun following Bun's Rust rewrite, a significant architectural change for anyone building desktop apps with the Electron alternative. If you were considering Electrobun as a lightweight desktop runtime, the dependency story just shifted.
A pointed essay on how AI coding tools are increasingly shipping code without genuine comprehension, riffing on the Claude Code flag that bypasses code review. Good sharp thinking on whether AI pair programmers are optimizing for throughput at the expense of understanding.
sp.h is a single-header C library trying to replace the fragmented mess of POSIX helpers and platform-specific utilities with one clean, dependency-free foundation. If you write any C, this is worth bookmarking as a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.
Rubish is a Unix shell that exposes files and processes as real Ruby objects, letting you script your system with the full Ruby object model instead of bash string soup. Not a daily driver for most people, but a creative and technically interesting take on what a shell could be.
