1. Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed Total comment counts : 36 Summary Zed released Claude Code integration in public beta using its new Agent Client Protocol (ACP), letting Claude Code run inside Zed as an ACP-compatible agent. ACP is an open standard to connect agents to editors. A Claude Code adapter wraps its SDK to ACP’s JSON RPC, so Claude Code runs as a separate process with Zed’s UI and can co-exist with Gemini CLI and other ACP agents....

1. Introduction to Ada: a project-based exploration with rosettas Total comment counts : 6 Summary This practical walkthrough documents a new AdaCore Field Engineer helping customers succeed with Ada. Recalling Ada’s fundamentals, the author uses a project-based approach—building a small end-to-end program that generates animated rosettas (hypotrochoid) as SVG files, a nod to Spirograph. The piece argues Ada is enjoyable beyond safety-critical domains and explores Ada 2022 features. It covers why Ada’s philosophy emphasizes readability, explicit typing, defined semantics, and a helpful compiler....

1. Patrick Winston: How to Speak (2018) [video] Total comment counts : 5 Summary error Top 1 Comment Summary The piece argues that success depends first on speaking, then writing, then the quality of ideas. It uses ChatGPT as an example: it can speak, write, and have ideas, but cannot perform physical tasks like hiking, swimming, or sports. The closing message: “Don’t be ChatGPT,” urging readers to develop real-world, physical capabilities alongside communication and ideas....

1. Eternal Struggle Total comment counts : 14 Summary error Top 1 Comment Summary Self-balancing: when one side grows larger by chance, its ball has more space and bounces less often, slowing growth; the smaller side’s ball bounces more in its smaller space, helping it catch up. Top 2 Comment Summary I can summarize, but I only see the title in your message. Please paste the article text (or a link) and I’ll summarize it in 100 words or fewer....

1. Are we decentralized yet? Total comment counts : 12 Summary This page uses the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) to quantify concentration in the Fediverse and Atmosphere. HHI sums the squares of market shares of all servers (Fediverse instances; Atmosphere PDS hosting user data). Values near zero indicate competitive markets, while 10,000 signals a monopoly. Economics bands: <100 highly competitive, <1500 unconcentrated, >2500 highly concentrated. Bluesky Social PBC’s PDSes are aggregated since they’re controlled by one entity....

1. Do the simplest thing that could possibly work Total comment counts : 20 Summary The article argues for ‘do the simplest thing that could possibly work’ in software design, not chasing an ideal, highly-factorable system. Begin by deeply understanding the existing system, then implement the simplest solution that meets current requirements. As developers gain tool familiarity, avoid unnecessary infrastructure; leverage Unix primitives and existing components (e.g., edge proxies, caches) before building new pieces....

1. Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use? Total comment counts : 90 Summary To bypass censorship, obtain VPN software and obfuscated configurations from providers who distribute them in hard-to-block ways. Obfuscation layers (e.g., obfs4proxy with a pre-shared key, or pluggable transports like Shapeshifter) can help defeat DPI; the VPN provider must support these protocols. Long-term detection remains a challenge, as statistical analysis can reveal VPN use even with obfuscation....

1. Malicious versions of Nx and some supporting plugins were published Total comment counts : 45 Summary An incident where malicious nx versions and related packages were published to npm, containing a postinstall script that scanned the user’s filesystem, collected credentials, and posted them to a GitHub repo tied to the user. The script also altered .zshrc/.bashrc to run a shutdown command. An npm publish token was compromised. After detection, npm removed the affected versions and tokens, and later all Nx packages were restricted to 2FA and switched to a Trusted Publisher mechanism that does not use npm tokens....

1. Claude for Chrome Total comment counts : 50 Summary Anthropic is piloting Claude for Chrome to work directly in browsers, starting with 1,000 Max plan users via a controlled test and a waitlist. They view browser-enabled AI as inevitable but require stronger safety safeguards. In red-team tests, prompt injection attacks—where malicious content manipulates actions—showed a 23.6% success rate without mitigations across 123 test cases and 29 scenarios; a malicious email could trigger mass deletion....

1. Google’s Liquid Cooling Total comment counts : 6 Summary Liquid cooling is expanding from PC enthusiasts to datacenters, driven by AI’s power demands. Google highlights a datacenter-scale water loop for TPUs: CDUs (Coolant Distribution Units) in racks, two non-mixing liquid circuits, heat transferred via split-flow cold plates; TPUv4 uses bare-die for higher heat transfer. Liquid cooling cuts cooling power consumption (pumps use <5% of air-based fan power). In datacenters, maintenance is managed with no downtime via extra CDUs, extensive leak testing, alerts, and scheduled checks....
