Wrote up some thoughts on Anthropic's Project Glassing, where their latest Opus-beating model is available to partnered security research organizations only. Given the recent alarm bells raised by credible security voices I think this is a justified decision. simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/7/p...

Recent advances in quantum hardware and software have accelerated the timeline on which quantum attack might happen. Cloudflare is responding by moving our target for full post-quantum security to 2029. https://cfl.re/4ts69WQ

MozFest is coming back to Barcelona in 2026, and tickets are already on sale. I bought mine right away because I loved it last year. It really feels like a kind of digital counterculture. events.mozillafoundation.org/e/mozilla-fe...

Alright! Introducing Dux: distributed #DuckDB backed dataframes for #elixirlang. cigrainger.com/blog/introdu... v0.3 dropped today and with it, distribution is fully supported and Dux is officially outperforming Explorer. I'm excited to hear what you all think.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

I would be so happy to see poll support in @bsky.app 🥺 It would change the way I do open-source because I really care about y’all’s opinion 🫶

Google's AI design tool "Stitch" got a major update. One prompt → 4 UI screens in ~3 minutes. New: infinite canvas, voice input, DESIGN.md, MCP server (Claude Code/Cursor), instant prototypes. Figma export with proper layers. Free Figma Make, basically. stitch.withgoogle.com

I set up a minimal self-hosted data lake platform with DuckDB, DuckLake and @taleshape.bsky.social. The whole setup is a single docker compose file that covers all basic data needs from ingest and storage to transform and visualization: taleshape.com/blog/simple-...

Supply chain attack protection: 1. Version lockfiles and during update use versions that are more than 24 hours old 2. Dev Container for developer’s machine isolation 3. Split CI into jobs with different permissions and install dependencies only in some 4. Minimize dependencies

I started migrating my open-source projects from Prettier & ESLint to oxfmt & oxlint. oxlint works 3-4 times faster while using my JS-based third-party ESLint plugins. github.com/nanostores/n... github.com/logux/oxc-co...

As fossil fuel prices have shot up, it’s a good time to consider going electric. I’ve had an electric car for a decade and a heat pump for a year, and I’m very happy with both — simply all-around better technology than burning stuff. www.noahpinion.blog/p/maybe-you-...

More good news from Germany. Scientists have discovered that they were wrong about how long it takes for solar panels to degrade, and that they can last twice as long as previously expected.

tl;dr new Claude models coming, probably Claude 5 1. Mythos is a new fourth tier, larger than Opus 2. Mythos & Capybara are the same model, probably different purposes 3. new Opus, Sonnet & Haiku distilled from Mythos 4. limited availability for Mythos 5. danger danger

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

I want organizers to be as excited as I am about the phase shift happening on the web right now. If we nerds can help the organizers see what we're seeing, which is the potential for a systemic overhaul of the web as we know it, the organizers will understand what they can ask us to build for them.

We’re introducing Dynamic Workers, which allow you to execute AI-generated code in secure, lightweight isolates. This approach is 100 times faster than traditional containers, enabling millisecond startup times for AI agent sandboxing. https://cfl.re/4rRCzsG

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

hey if "the economy" is completely decoupled from the welfare of the people, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THE ECONOMY

I'm enjoying Hanko a lot. European, Open Source (AGPL), self-hostable Go binary, you'll embed their web components or build your own UI. Only (small) caveat is their priority on social logins, they don't seem interested in the more enterprisey stuff (but who could blame them.)

Goes for programming languages as well. The less important it is what ruins your application, the more LLMs will choose the best option for reliability, simplicity and scalability. For (web) backends, that will probably be #ElixirLang

myth: LLM-assisted coding means everyone is forced to use The Popular Framework forever reality: agents will happily migrate your entire app to The Good Framework inertia is a powerful drug but we are entering a world without moats, plan accordingly strawberrybrowser.com/blog/react-t...

At work, we were seeing frequent full recompiles of our #ElixirLang app (both the deps and our code!). Turns out it was because Claude Code was using the globally-installed Elixir rather than the one installed by Mise. I wrote about the fix here: tylerayoung.com/2026/03/11/e...

We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋 Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round. Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.

Seeing 50 and 60-year-old HN devs share how Claude Code reignited their passion for building software and solving problems over the framework rat race is exactly how I feel. I haven’t felt this energized in years. Detractors argue AI removes the craft and familiarity with implementation details.

Vendors are trying to emulate the BEAM, but there's truly nothing like it. Here's a walkthrough of what makes it special: processes, messaging, registries, ETS, distribution, and its ecosystem. Elixir was made for the current moment, and for what's to come. youtu.be/dKaZ89SkVYY #elixirlang

Does anybody have experience using GitHub-hosted dev containers ("codespaces") for #ElixirLang dev? I *really* want to empower our designers to work on LiveView component HTML/CSS directly (they're already comfortable with those), but getting them a local dev setup is a huge blocker.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol. atproto.com

I created two skills which I always found to be gotcha's when working with #elixirlang and LiveView. Both can have a big impact on user experience. First, LiveView and optimistic updates, making sure that the UI stays responsive, even when there is latency. github.com/wunki/amplif...
