Two days after Sony killed physical PlayStation discs, GitHub announced you can order a burned CD-ROM of your public repo. The joke is real — first 1,000 eligible submissions, July 2–6 only — and the internet noticed.
A competitive programming prompt surfaced Fable's raw reasoning trace on r/OpenAI — muttering, self-correction, and caveman shorthand users never see in the final answer. Here is what "inner voice" means, why it looks unhinged, and what Reddit got right and wrong.

Immich 3.0 landed July 1, 2026 with mobile editing, workflows, and integrity checks — 105k GitHub stars and a heated HN thread on E2EE. Here is whether self-hosting photos is worth it, what it actually costs, and how tools like bgblur.com fit before you publish shared albums.

Meta quietly launched Pocket — an experimental app for creating and sharing AI-generated interactive gizmos from text prompts. Built on Gizmo startup tech, rolling out outside the US first. Not the old read-it-later Pocket.
Most "AI for kids" content is a worksheet in disguise. explainx.ai Kids is a rainbow-colored, fully voiced cartoon world where a robot named Bitsy teaches your child how AI thinks — and they don't even notice they're learning.
Not a curriculum — a sequence. What a child is ready for at 5, at 8, at 11, and at 14, which milestones actually matter, and the one thing to keep constant the whole way: the kid commands, the machine serves.
"Everyone uses it anyway" is true, which is exactly why your family needs rules that are better than "don't." The tutor-not-ghostwriter line, the explain-it-back test, and a homework framework kids actually accept as fair.
The difference between a kid who consumes AI and a kid who commands it is one weekend project. Build a story machine together: your child invents the world, sets the rules, directs the revisions — and learns that the human with the clearest instructions is the one in charge.
HN debated Canonry's claim that every AI visibility tool is lying with fake precision. One scrape or API call is one sample from a distribution. What AEO metrics can honestly tell you — and how to audit dashboards before shipping copy changes suggested by models reading other models.

After 16 years, HTTP has a new method: QUERY. It is GET with a body — complex search filters in the request body instead of an 8KB URL, but still safe, idempotent, and cacheable unlike POST-for-reads. Here is what RFC 10008 means for your APIs.
Keyword and vector search retrieve candidates, hybrid combines them, and Azure semantic ranking improves the order of the retrieved results.
