August 2026 Was the Hottest Month Ever Recorded: Copernicus Datahttps://www.wired.com/story/august-2026-is-hottest-month-ever-recorded

While the strengthening El Niño helped boost temperatures, climate change is the main culprit for making August so hot.

Schools are catching on to Big Tech’s playbookhttps://www.theverge.com/policy/993308/computer-science-ai-education-coding-kids

It's the hot new thing in tech, and it's where all the jobs are. Students who don't learn to use it fall behind. And to help them catch up in time, its creators are graciously providing the resources and curriculum for learning it, often pro bono. That's the narrative AI companies are pitching schools on […]

Show HN: Live audio dubbing from any browser tabhttps://pinch.now

Hey HN, at Pinch we've been working on something to reduce friction to getting accurate, fast audio translation for live media. Initially we launched a desktop app that sat between your hardware mic/speakers and your meeting platform, but this required users to install our audio driver which introduced permissions hoops to jump through as well as stability issues across updates, not to mention trying to get our device driver approved by Microsoft.. So today we're launching Pinch Sidecar, which offers speech to speech translation in-browser for any Chrome browser tab. This is accomplished by s…

Show HN: Runyte – a modal editor with integrated terminals and a file managerhttps://runyte.com

Hi, I'm building Runyte, an open-source terminal workspace built around a modal text editor, written in Rust. The goal is to create a coherent workspace with minimal UI and maximum focus. Files, terminal panes, and Git views share one interface, navigation, clipboard, and theme. A fuzzy finder searches through files, buffers, and terminals. Runyte supports a persistent mode (client-server) in which you can detach and return later while terminal processes and LSP servers keep running, or you can switch directly to another Git worktree. There are also some features to minimize the friction when…

Show HN: Rocky Surf – Open-source control plane for coding-agent cloud VMshttps://www.rockysurf.com

Rocky Surf started late last year after Claude Code crashed my laptop. The alpha version was designed as a commercial product, but I ditched the idea because it would have required significant capital. Basically, the business would have been a cloud reseller with a bit of software on top. I built the core for my own projects - simple stuff like bash commands to create, stop, start, and terminate EC2s. Added features along the way, like other clouds and making tool bundles so I could spin up a VM and automatically install Pi, OpenCode, etc, etc. Finally decided to turn it into an open source p…

Show HN: Fashionguessr – A Daily Fashion Trivia Gamehttps://www.fashionguessr.com

Hello! I created Fashionguessr, a daily fashion trivia game. Inspired by other daily trivia games like Timeguessr, Connections, and Wordle, Fashionguessr is my attempt at the same thing for people curious about fashion. The game is broken up into three parts: Runway Frames - Users have to guess and identify a fashion show, its brand, its season, and its designer based on a single random frame from the show. Users can use a variety of hints, each more expensive than the last, to reveal more information about the show to help them guess correctly. Trivia - Multiple-choice and short-answer quest…

Show HN: Bee – Text your Google Calendar instead of opening ithttps://www.beetime.ai

I've bounced off every calendar app, always for the same reason: opening the app and learning new UX. I already have iMessage and WhatsApp open all day, so I built an assistant that lives there and manages my Google Calendar and Google Tasks by text. "Lunch with Sam Thursday 1pm", "move my 3pm to tomorrow" — the real calendar updates. No install, no new interface. When I get calendar invite from others, I also get a text and I can simply text back to RSVP. Refresh tokens are envelope-encrypted via KMS. Texting "delete my account" purges everything. Would appreciate feedback. Comments URL: h…

AI instructions are markdown files, freely modifiable after install. The only check I could find was once at install against a digest in the market…

🕵️‍♂️ SonicWall SMA1000 (CVE-2026-15409): SSRF to Erlang RCE chained into automated DCSync from the appliancehttps://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1wcqbvq/sonicwall_sma1000_cve202615409_ssrf_to_erlang_rce

CVE-2026-15409 is an unauthenticated SSRF in the SMA1000 WorkPlace interface. The chain is the interesting part. The /wsproxy WebSocket endpoint is used to reach a locally bound Erlang distribution node ( couchdb@127.0.0.1 on port 1050), the Erlang handshake is completed with a hardcoded cookie, and os:cmd() gives command execution as the couchdb user. From there the operator read policy_file.xml, decrypted the stored LDAP bind passwords (static 32-byte AES key lifted from ASAPPasswordUtil.class bytecode), and dropped a standalone Linux build of Impacket secretsdump to /tmp on the appliance.…

Show HN: Biff 2.0 (Clojure web framework)https://biffweb.com

Biff is a web framework that I originally released 6 years ago.[1] I've just finished more-or-less rewriting it from scratch. The main changes: - SQLite is now the default database. - Datastar is used for server-side rendering. - Introduces biff.graph[2] and biff.fx, two libraries that both help structure your application logic. - Biff is now "just" a collection of independent libraries rather than a single monolithic framework, which makes it much easier to swap out the various parts. e.g. using a non-default database is much less work now. I'd been experimenting with a good chunk of this wo…

They can also submit their startups on the website. As you can see, it’s quite simple, just how I wanted it, although I am open to suggestions :D I created it because finding useful startups on X is sometimes painful, unless someones post went viral, you probably won't see it, and there was a need for a simple platform where users…

Show HN: Let coding agents work across your laptop, remote machines, and S3https://github.com/vasinov/ridge-core

I wanted to use Codex on my laptop to run kernel optimization experiments on my GPU box, with models stored in S3. That meant having Codex figure out file transfers and remote execution just to get an experiment running. Lots of opportunities to get something wrong before touching the actual kernel. Then what happens in the next session? Either Codex figures it out again, or the previous session leaves behind scripts and instructions. That works, but now there's a small infrastructure project to maintain along with the actual experiments. I decided to try out a more streamlined approach and s…

But they all charge a heavy premium on top of inference costs.
