An anonymous reader shares a report: Popular AI-powered integrated development environment solutions, such as Cursor, Windsurf, Google Antigravity, and Trae, recommend extensions that are non-existent in the OpenVSX registry, allowing threat actors to claim the namespace and upload malicious extensions.
These AI-assisted IDEs are forked from Microsoft VSCode, but cannot use the extensions in the official store due to licensing restrictions. Instead, they are supported by OpenVSX, an open-source marketplac

"Every link leads to an entry that does not exist yet," explains the GitHub page for a Wikipedia-like site called Halupedia.

The footnotes are also lies... The hardest problem with an infinite, on-demand encyclopedia is internal... Read more ›

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ (256GB) is currently $890 on Amazon – that’s a bit lower than we’ve seen it at for the past few weeks and $200+ off on a phone that’s less than three months old is a solid discount. That said, the 2026 model doesn’t bring many updates over its predecessor – there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the slightly faster wireless charging (20W vs. 15W,... Read more ›

Это пародия... на многоеСтатья‑интервью написана на основе разговора с Артёмом, основателем проекта Stopilot — редактора кода, который помогает разработчику не писать код, пока тот не понял задачу.Большинство историй про AI‑инструменты выглядят одинаково: человек открывает Cursor, за выходные собирает SaaS, выкладывает скриншот MRR и дальше объясняет, что главное — не думать, а быстро валидировать гипотезы.

Это девятая статья про инженерные решения в ONEMIX. Тема узкая, push-уведомления. Но я её давно хотел разобрать, потому что туториалов в интернете много, а production-граблей в них почти нет.Если коротко, туториал по push выглядит так. Регистрируешь токен через Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync(). Отправляешь на бэкенд. Когда приходит пуш — addNotificationResponseReceivedListener ловит тап, навигируешь в нужный экран. Всё.В реальном мессенджере таких туториалов недостаточно. Появляется десяток узких пробл Read more ›

The industry has invested enormously in the first. It's giving almost no thought to what's happening to the second.I’d argue that we need to treat the human evaluation problem with just as much rigor and investment as we put into building...
