The release, first detailed by MarkTechPost, positions Lily as the local half of Hybrid Compute, the split-execution mode inside the Perplexity Computer Mac app…
Anthropic’s Agent Skills format has quietly become one of the most-searched features in the Claude ecosystem. “Claude code skills” now pulls roughly 12,100 monthly US searches, and terms like “claude skills marketplace” and “claude skills github” add thousands more, according to keyword data pulled in September 2026. Yet most of what shows up when you…
Key Takeaways Hardened base images reduce Kubernetes risk before admission control, runtime protection, or scanning tools ever evaluate a workload. The best options combine minimal packages, active patching, SBOM visibility, provenance, runtime compatibility, and developer usability. Echo leads this list because it focuses on CVE-free base images and libraries while preserving compatibility with existing container…
The security researcher known as Chaotic Eclipse (aka INFINITE NIGHTMARE, MSNightmare, and Nightmare-Eclipse) has dropped a new zero-day dubbed FalconFlank, a privilege escalation flaw impacting Crowdstrike Falcon. “FalconFlank is a 0day privilege escalation that abuses the office malicious macros remediation in CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor,” the researcher said in a GitHub README file, adding
Amiga emulation never actually died, it just splintered into three very different camps. WinUAE still leads on raw chipset accuracy for Windows users chasing cycle-exact demoscene playback. FS-UAE trades some of that depth for a cleaner cross-platform launcher built around WHDLoad game installs. Amiga Forever skips the configuration entirely and sells you a legally licensed,…

Every React project eventually reaches for shadcn/ui. Every Vue project building the same kind of dashboard now reaches for its little sibling, shadcn-vue. Both promise the same pitch: no npm-installed component library locking you into someone else’s design decisions, just copy-pasted, fully-owned code sitting in your own repo. But the setup paths, the primitives underneath,…
From loop engineering to harnesses, squads, and open weights, the GitHub Podcast breaks down the AI terms showing up in developer conversations. The post Decoding the new AI lingo: Loops, harnesses, squads, hill climbing… oh my! appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Why shorter outputs can cost more, and how GitHub Copilot reduces wasted work across the complete coding task. The post How we make AI coding more cost efficient without sacrificing task quality appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
