The article discusses the launch of Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed for open-source projects. The main points focus on Claude's capabilities to assist with code generation, task automation, and knowledge-sharing within open-source communities.

The article discusses the growing problem of stalking and how technology is enabling new forms of stalking behavior, particularly in the context of intimate partner violence. It examines the challenges in addressing stalking and the need for improved legal frameworks and support services to protect victims.

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Fourth Amendment does not support a broad search authorization for law enforcement, upholding privacy rights and limiting the scope of warrants to only the specific information being sought.

The article discusses the potential environmental benefits of switching to electric vehicles, highlighting how they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. It also explores the challenges of widespread EV adoption, such as the need for improved charging infrastructure and battery technology.

Small codebases were always a good thing. With coding agents, there's now a huge advantage to having a codebase small enough that an agent can hold the full thing in context.

Repo Tokens is a GitHub Action that counts your codebase's size in tokens (using tiktoken) and updates a badge in your README. The badge color reflects what percentage of an LLM's context window the codebase fills: green for under 30%, yellow for 50-70%, red for 70%+. Context window size is configurable and defaults to 200k (size of Claude models).

It's a composite action. Installs tiktoken, runs ~60 lines of inline Python, takes about 10 seconds. The action updates the README but doesn't commit, so your workflow controls the git strategy.

The idea is to make token size a visible metric, like bundle size badges for JS libraries. Hopefully a small nudge to keep codebases lean and agent-friendly.

A Lynk & Co Z20 vehicle in China experienced a sudden loss of headlights after a voice command failed, leading to a car crash. The incident highlights the potential risks associated with over-the-air (OTA) software updates and the need for robust safety measures in connected car technologies.

Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker.

Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening.

I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales.

I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips for a solo dev trying to get more press coverage?
